It was a dark and stormy night in Squaw Valley but that didn't stop the kiddies from coming out to Mamasake to see Think Thank's Stack Footy and Airblaster's August movies. Mamasake was packed to the hilt and everyone was excited because the temp dropped and the winter jackets and beanies came out of the closet.... perfect attire for snowboard movie premieres.

Think Thank's Stack Footy was a great vid with crazy urban shredding, big park jump lines and fresh powder turns. The pants were tight but so was the riding in this vid. After the showing of Stack Footy there was a little raffle and then Ariblaster/ Thirty Two rep Eric Wallis hit play and "August" was off and running. Now for those that don't know "August" was filmed entirely at Mt.Hood during the first two weeks of August this year. I have to say this is a fresh new concept to the snowboard film industry because usually a movie is filmed through out an entire season, not just in two weeks. So for starters I liked that about the movie. Second it was full of fun jibbing and fun everything. A big thanks to all that came out and braved the monsoon at Squaw and a big thanks to Mamasake

2XL F/Unk & Candy Hill - Magic City

[Intro:UNK]
DJ Unk (okay), we up in Magic City.
Scott Storch, we up in Magic City.
2XL, we up in Magic City.
Candy Hill, we up in Magic City.
They in here looking pretty.

[Chorus:Candy Hill]
Boy, I know a place you'll never wanna leave,
Only in your dreams, it's reality.
(huh huh) Do you wanna go to Magic City with me?
(huh huh) With me?
Anything I want, I'll drive.
What I need, You got it.
A little dance, I'll dance for ya.
Oh, for real? No problem.
Anything you got, if you want it.
That's what I need, I gotcha boy.
Do that dance dance dance.
Come to Magic City with me.

[Verse 1:Royal City]
I'm from the west, but I lean and I rock.
In the club, 20 G's in the watch.
Shortys hard, I gotta make her mine for the night.
She got an apple bottom, my momma feed her right.
I'm like, My name is Royal City girl,
And I was wonderin' if you would take me to your world.
Heard that there's a place you got,
That both me and you could go.
I won't let my momma know,
We could keep it on the low.
So it's on bring me to your city girl,
I could be your volunteer, you'll be my magician girl.
Back to the room, she put me on the chair.
Just a touch of magic her jeans disappear.

[Chorus:Candy Hill]
Boy, I know a place you'll never wanna leave,
Only in your dreams, it's reality.
(huh huh) Do you wanna go to Magic City with me?
(huh huh) With me?

[Verse 2:Unk]
Yo. Come wit me (aye), Come wit me (aye).
Aye, girl what's your fantasy?
Yo. Come wit me (aye), Come wit me (aye).
Aye, tell me what's your fantasy.
You see I glide through something new, the chrome is on the wheels,
I take a trip to Magic City, wanna cop a feel?
The club packed, she wanna pull disappearing acts.
[Magic City lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Took her to the VIP, she busted it open and she throwed it back.
With a little Remy, blowing on on some good chush.
20 stacks, watch it glare, give your shades a better look.
She loosen up my belt, whispered words that she felt.
Type of friend, do your dance girl, go on and 2 Step.

[Chorus:Candy Hill]
Boy, I know a place you'll never wanna leave,
Only in your dreams, it's reality.
(huh huh) Do you wanna go to Magic City with me?
(huh huh) With me?
Anything I want, I'll try it.
What I need, You got it.
A little dance, I'll dance for ya.
Oh, for real? No problem.
Anything you got, if you want it.
That's what I need, I gotcha boy.
Do that dance dance dance.
Come to Magic City with me.

[Verse 3:Laze]
One minute, two minute, three minute, four,
She dancin' for me now, she's somethin' like a pro.
Call her Miss Houdini cause she's magic with her lips,
Like abracadabra she know where to kiss.
That's somethin' I ain't never seen before,
By the way she move I gotta put her in my video.
This is Magic City, my personal fantasy world,
Where I could do whatever with my fantasy girl.
It's 12 o'clock so she know, how I roll.
By one o'clock, she gonna take it to the floor.
Just like magic, take it down low.
Take me to your magic place, baby I ain't tryin' to wait.

[Chorus:Candy Hill]
Boy, I know a place you'll never wanna leave,
Only in your dreams, it's reality.
(huh huh) Do you wanna go to Magic City with me?
(huh huh) With me?
Anything I want, I'll try it.
What I need, You got it.
A little dance, I'll dance for ya.
Oh, for real? No problem.
Anything you got, if you want it.
That's what I need, I gotcha boy.
Do that dance dance dance.
Come to Magic City with me.

[Bridge:Royal City]
Like hocus pocus give me one wish.
Take me away be my magical chick.
Im'a go to magic city with you,
So baby come to magic city with me.
Like hocus pocus give me one wish.
Take me away with your magical tricks.
Im'a go to magic city with you,
So baby come to magic city with me.

フリーラン♪ 

2007.03.30 Friday

Free riding!♪

We went to Whistler mountain!Tadashi, Aki, Shota, Taro, and me Keiji.Contrary to the forecast, it was good weather today.It was the first time in a long time we went up the mountain because we have been shooting with our sleds lately.There were still so much good snow on the peak and it boost our spirits.We all hit the mogul slopes so our legs are so tired but we had so much fun.Some birds came to have lunch with us.Aki with Taro’s sun glasses.In the afternoon, we headed to the snowboard park.It was so crowded because it was sunny.The people there were so greedy to drop in that you couldn't tell when and who was dropping in. It was like a boarder cross race.After we went down the mountain, we had some beers and chicken wings.Chicken wings are so tasty! Some are spicy and some are sweet.When I went to Alaska, I ate chicken wings all the time.Everybody loved it.We had so much fun free riding. Riding with friends is the best!

昨日はみんなでウィスラーマウンテンへ滑りに行ってきました!メンバーは忠、アキ、ショータ、フィルマーのタロウと自分(ケイジ)の5人。天気予報とは違っていい天気。 最近モービルでの撮影ばかりだったので、フリーランするのはみんな久しぶり。山頂はまだいい雪が残っていてテンション上がったな〜!みんなでモーグルバーン攻めまくって足はパンパンだったけど、かなり楽しかったです(^^)


ランチ時には小鳥も寄ってきます。


タローさんのサングラスで遊ぶアキ。(笑) 午後はスノーボードパークへ!天気が良かったせいなのかパークはメッチャ混み。[:満室:]誰がどこからドロップしてくるのか分からなくて、みんなガツガツしまくり。まるでボータークロスですなこれは。。。[:ひやひや:] 下山してからはビールとチキンウィング!おいしいんですよ〜。チキンウィング。辛いのとか甘いのがあって。手羽先にホットソースをからめてある感じなのかな?去年アラスカに行った時にはいつも食べてたかも。みんなも大好きです。 フリーラン楽しかった〜。やっぱりみんなでワイワイ滑るのって最高 ですね。[:チョキ:] 

03/28/07

 快晴!! 今日も朝早くからモービルで撮影に行ってきましたよ〜♪今回は忠&アキ&タロー、そしてタクミ&ショータ&ケイジの2クルーに分けて出発。天気はかなりよくていい感じ!何かできそうなところを探しまわります。

  2007.03.28 Wednesday

Fair skies!!

We went shooting from early in the morning. Today, we set off as two crews. Tadashi, Aki, Taro in one crew, and Takumi, Shota, Keiji in another crew.It was a very clear day and so nice.


氷をこわしまくるショータ。        タクミ & ショータ。2人乗りでどこまでもついてきます。(^^)                     Takumi & Shota 

この2日間でいろいろと映像が残せたのでお楽しみに〜!

We were able to shot some lines, jumps, and more. You’ll see! 

03/27/07

 Nice day! 晴れるかも!

と言う事で早朝に集合!忠、タクミ、ショータ、フィルマーのタローさんと自分(ケイジ)。そして腰を少し痛めて休んでいたアキ君も今日から復活! クリフや、アップ系のジャンプ、新しい地形を発見してライン系などやってきました!

2007.03.27 Tuesday

Nice day!

It looked like it was going to be sunny so we all met early in the morning.Tadashi, Takumi, Shota, Taro(filmer) and me, Keiji.Aki recovered from his back problem and joined us.We shot a cliff, and an up jump, and rode some lines and explored some new places.

撮影から帰ってきたのは夜8時近く。疲れたけど楽しかったな〜[:わーい:]あしたもがんばりまーす!

We came back around eight pm. I was soooo tired but it was fun.We’ll take another go at it tomorrow!! 

03/26/07 

今日も疲れた〜 拓巳です!今日は、タダシくん、タロウさん、ケイジ君、ショウタと五人でモービルで撮影に行ってきました。天気はいまいち良くなかったけど晴れ間を狙ってみんないいジャンプしてました[:嬉しい:]明日は天気がいいみたいなので朝から頑張りま〜す[:グッド:]おやすみ〜

2007.03.26 Monday

Another exhausting day. 

This is Takumi! I went shooting via sled with Tadashi, Taro, Keiji, and Shota. The weather could've been better but we managed to get a few shots when the sun peeked out. It’s going to be sunny tomorrow, and we will go shooting from early in the morning! Gotta get a good night's sleep. Good night!

 ろーどぎゃっぷ ROAD GAP

 フィルマーのケイジです!昨日は朝早くからビデオでも出ている有名なロードギャップポイントをチェックしてきました!メンバーはタダシ、タクミ、ショータ、フォトグラファーのマルさん、フィルマーのタロウさんと自分。

Hey it's Keiji! Yesterday, early in the morning, we went to check out the very famous road gap! The members were Tadashi, Takumi, Shota, Dice-K Maru (photographer), Taro-san (videocameraman) and me.


ランディングまでイメージする忠。 1年ぶりに来たけどやっぱデカいすね〜〜。このジャンプ…。。。ビルに例えたら何階建てくらいなんだろうな…?(^^;)今回は雪が思っていたよりも悪く天気も少し暗いので、今度またコンディションがいい時にやる事にします。 帰る前にはみんなで雪玉で遠くの倒木を狙って遠投大会![:ベースボール:]当たりそうでなかなか当たらないんですよ〜これが。みんなムキになって投げまくってました。 始めに当てたタダシはみんなから[:ビール:]をゲット!元ピッチャーだけあってうまかったな〜〜ちなみにタローさんはサードでスイッチヒッターだったみたいです。 100球までは投げてないけど、もう投げすぎで肩が痛いです。結局ショータはビリになってみんなにコーヒーおごる事になりました。[:チョキ:] 今日は雨も降っていたのでオフ。忠とスケートパークで遊んできました。地下なので空気はあんまり良くないんですけど、楽しく汗かいてすっきりしたな〜!でも体はバキバキです。(笑)

Tadashi can imagine how the landing would be. We came here for the first time in a year and...the slope is really big as I was expecting... If the gap is compared to a building, the building would be how many stories?(^^;) The snow around there was bad and it was dark, so we decided to try this next time when the condition is better. Before we left this gap, we played long cast with snow balls and we tried to hit a piece of wood. It looked easy but it’s not actually. We started to get pissed off that nobody was hitting the target! Tadashi hit the target first and he got beers from everybody! He used to be a pitcher so he was good. Taro-san was 3 base and also a switch-hitter. We threw too many snoballs, like a 100 and now I have pain in my shoulder. Shota was the worst and he has to buy coffees for us. It was raining so we took the day off today and I went to the skate park with Tadashi. Since the skate park is under ground, the air is not clean but we enjoyed ourselves and broke a sweat. Now my muscles are sore. 

03/23/07 

雪ふってっどぉ〜(ウィスラー)Snowing Whistler!

 今日はですね〜、ウィスラーから大体1時間ぐらい車で走ったポイントに行ってきたんですよ。やっぱりいいですね〜。違う景色を見るってことは。なんかワクワクしながらポイントを探しててね。これが楽しいんですよ。 ちなみに今日の撮影内容は、自分は、ピローラインをせめて。ショータとタクミは、クリフジャンプを攻めてたかな。いい感じのジャンプだったんだこれが。んでそれから移動をして、探しまくってたんですよ〜。なかなか見つかんないんだわ、これが。なかなか大変でね〜。これを皆に教えたいよ。(でも楽しいんだよコレも)

Today, we went to a spot where it took an hour by car. It’s nice to go somewhere different. It’s so exciting searching for a nice spot. It's so much fun. Today’s agenda was to hit some pillow lines and Shota and Takumi did some awesome cliff drops. Their lines were pretty cool. After that, we moved on in search of a better place but we couldn’t find any. It’s really hard to find a nice spot, I’m telling you. I want you to know this! (Though its fun trying...)

 

03/22/07

 やっほ〜ぅ どもでーす!フィルマーのケイジです。今日もアキ&コニとモービルで撮影に行ってきました〜! 天気は曇り空で視界はそこまで良くないけど、マッシュやピローラインで撮影してました。明るくなるのを待ってのドロップでなかなか大変。でもやれる中でいいのができたと思います。(^^)

2007.03.22 Thursday

Hey, yo!This is Keiji the filmer again.I went filming today with Aki & Koni.It was cloudy but we shot some mushroom lines and pillow lines.We had to wait for the sunlight to drop in, and it was tough but we got some nice shots despite the conditions.

  ↓  ↓

午後は今まで行ったた事のないところを探索してみんなでスタックしまくりでした。(笑)

In the afternoon, we looked for a place where no one had been to.We kept getting stuck again and again!

2007.03.21 Wednesday

I’m hungry----!We were filming too!!Yesterday, it was nice weather and we did some shooting.Our crew was Taro(video cameraman), Takumi, Shota and me(Tadashi).It was sooo much fun! Shota and Takumi are funny guys.They took forever to double up but they made it! I knew the brothers could do it. It’ll be fun to follow their carreers. Everybody, wait till you see the photos and videos! They are killing it!

 

03/21/07 

よかった〜… 今日は7時半に駐車場に集合!メンバーはアキ&コニ、フォトグラファーのマルさんと自分(ケイジ)。天気もよくてテンションも上がります。(^^)

2007.03.21 Wednesday

What a relief...We gathered at the parking lot at seven thirty in the morning.The members were Aki, Koni, Maru-san, and me(Keiji).The nice weather made us high. (^^)


思っていたよりも雪が深くてでいい感じ!誰もまだ来てないのでモービルで道を作りながらやっと山頂へ到着。しかし始めに狙っていたクリフまで行く頃には、デバンやクリス・ダフィシー、サンドボックスのクルーが続々と集まってきて一気に場所取り合戦が始まります。それにしてもデバン達は早かったな…バタバタっとあっという間にいいところで撮影してました。早くこうなっていかなければ…

The snow was deep and a lot nicer than we thought.No one had come out yet so we had to make our own track to get to the top.But before we arrived to the spot that we had marked out, the other crews like Devun Walsh, Chris Dufficy and Sandbox came one after another and the “spot race” began. Devun’s crew was so fast... They shot a nice spot without wasting any time. We have to be like that...


それにしてもアキ君がドロップした後に雪崩が起きて本当にあせったなぁ…少し流されたけどケガもなく、夕方まで撮影がんばってました。[:パンチ:]

Aki did a jump and it caused an avalanche and he got carried away a little bit. I was so frightened but he wasn’t hurt at all and he continued to film until nightfall.


今日一日いろいろあったけど、みんな無事でモービルにもトラブルもなくてよかった。これが本当に大事だと実感する1日でした。お〜し!おいしいビール飲んで明日もがんばるぞ〜〜[:イケテル:]

We all came back safely and our sleds had no trouble today.I realized the immense values in this.Alright! We will kick ass tomorrow by drinking yummy beer tonight! 

03/20/07

 オフ DAY OFF 

相変わらずパッとしない天気が続くウィスラーから小西がお届けします。今忠の家にいます。忠の家にはたくさんの本やdvdや珍しいスケートのデッキなど、面白いものがたくさんあります。でもテレビでは大相撲春場所が流れています。あ、鶴竜がはたき込みで勝ちました。素早い動きでした。 今日はオフにしました。昨日の夜のセッションでやられたのが痛いってのもあるけど天気が悪かったんです。でも夕方にスケートをやりに行きました。地下駐車場にスケートパークがあるんです。地下っつっても地下3階ですよ。行く時に乗るエレベーターなんか秘密基地に行く感じですよ。リゾートですねー。でもそこは空気が悪いのであんまし長くいると多分病気になります。だからさくっと汗を流して帰ります。スケートのあとは地上にあるスターバックスでコーヒーを飲みます。オフの日はこんな感じで過ごしてます。明日も天気悪そうやなー。でも山行きたい!とりあえず5時起きです。

2007.03.20 Tuesday

This is Koni bringing you some news from Whistler under uninspiring weather.I’m at Tadashi’s place now. There are many books, DVDs, rare skateboard decks and some other interesting things. There's Grand Sumo tournament on TV, wow Kakuryu won by a frontal slap-down. It was quick. I took a day off today. The reasons was that my body got worked in last night's session, and the weather is bad. So I decided to go skateboarding in the evening. There is a skate park underground. “Under ground” it’s not just “Under ground” but on the third floor in the basement. We had to take the elevator to get down there, and it’s like going to a hideout. There is no fresh air so I can’t stay there for a very long time or I will get sick. So I just skate a bit and break a sweat and then take off.After I left the hideout I enjoyed coffee at Starbucks.I spend my days off like this. It seems to be bad weather tomorrow too.I want to go snowboarding!!! I’ll wake up at five o'clock am anyway with my fingers crossed! 

03/19/07 

晴れ待ちの日。Waiting for sunshine.

 どもです!フィルマーのケイジです。アキ&コニとモービルで撮影しにいってきました。

2007.03.19 Monday 

Hey, This is Keiji.I went filming with Aki & Koni with our sleds.

もしかしたら午前中晴れそうな感じだったので早めに出発!他のフィルミングクルーも早くからガソリンスタンドに集まってきます。

We thought that in the morning it would be sunny so we left the house earlier than usual!The other filming crews were also gathering around the gas stand.


しかし、山は思っていたよりも雲が多く視界も悪いので、晴れ間ち晴れ待ちの連続。。。晴れとのうまくタイミングが合わなくてむずかしかったなぁ。。。

But when we got into the backcountry, there were more crowds than I thought and the visibility was very poor. We had to wait for the sunshine to get any filming done. Timing matters. It was tough to find the right timing for filming...

夜はheart houseでアキ&コニ、フォトグラファーのマルさん、タローさん、自分でセッションしてきました [:チョキ:]

That night, Aki & Koni, Maru-san, Taro-san and I did some sessions at the Heart House.


アキ君は50-50からのfs180,bs180をメイク!コニはwoodレールを飛び越えてからまた飛び越えたりおもしろい事にチャレンジしてました。(^^)でも飛び越えようとした最後の冊に引っかかってクラッシュ。。。危ない落ち方だったけど無事で良かった〜… ナイストライ!

Aki did a front side 180 and back side 180 from 50-50.Koni was trying to do some fun tricks like jumping over the wood rail. But he tried to jump over the last wood rail and bailed super hard.He fell dangerously but he was OK. Whew!Nice try, Koni!

  03/18/07 

どうもー 昨日は、朝起きたら雪ががんがん降ってたのですが、何か出来るだろうって事でタクミ ショータ それに、カメラマンのマルさんにオレ(フィルマーのタロー)で家から五分位の所にモービルで撮影に行ってきました。

2007.03.18 Sunday

Hi, there! It’s Taro.(heart’s filmer)When I woke up yesterday morning, it was snowing hard so we(Takumi, Shota, Maru-san and me) thought we could do something so we went to shoot near the house by sled.

 

いろいろ探してマルさんがここどう?って事でタクミ ショータでチェック。

We looked around for a spot and then Maru-san suggested one.Takumi and Shota scoped the area while we prepared for the shoot, then the snow became rain!


よし、やろうと準備してる間に雪がだんだん雨に!雪も、うすいし雨も降ってきたので軽く遊んでもうちょい体にやさしい所を探しに行こうと、もうちょい行ったらこんどは、これです!

Since it turned to rain, we went to look for another easier spot and found this place.


雨の中ビタビタなので、マルさんもオレもガンガン機材が濡れるので結構大変でした。タクミとショータもずぶ濡れになりながらも、いろいろ試しながら滑ってたので、どうにか今日も撮影が出来ました。 タクミ ショータ マルさん、お疲れさんでした!!

Maru-san and I were having a hard time protecting our cameras from the rain.Takumi and Shota tried some tricks although they were wet, and we were able to do some filming because of their effort.Takumi, Shota and Maru-san, you guys did a good job today!

 03/17/07 

雪がぁぁぁ〜 パウダ〜! 14cmの新雪!ワクワクしながら忠とブラッコムへ滑りに行ってきました! 午後は暖かくなるとの予報だったけど、駐車場についてみるとすでに雨。 『下はダメでも上の方は雪降ってるでしょ〜!』とテンション上げてリフトに乗ってみたけど、残念ながらず〜〜〜っと雨。しかも強風。雨はさすがにツラいなぁ〜〜 [:ニョロ:]せっかく雪降ったのに残念。。。まぁしょうがない。次に期待ですね!

Snow...!!!Powder! 

14cm of new snow!I was so excited about going to Blackcomb with Tadashi!The weather forecast said it was getting warm in the afternoon.But when we got to the parking lot, it was already raining.We reminded ourselves that: ”It is only raining down here, up there it is snowing for sure!” and jumped onto the lift.But unfortunately, it was raining all the way to the top!In addition, there were strong winds.The strong winds were killer.The rain spoiled the long-waited snow...That’s life. I hope we have another snow fall!


でもみんなコンディション悪いなりに楽しんで滑ってきました。(^^)

We had fun in our own way despite the bad snow.


かなり個性的な子を発見。リフト券長っ!(^^)      ウィスラーキッズは雨でも元気!

We found this unique kid. His lift ticket is too long!Whistler kids have a lot of energy even though it’s raining.

おりゃ〜 どもです〜アキ&コニ、自分(ケイジ)のクルーはまた別のポイントへ!何かできそうなところを探しまわって撮影してきました。午後は天気悪かったので、最後にモービルジャンプしたりして遊んで帰ってきました。(^^)

2007.03.16 Friday

Yo!Hellooo.My crew (Aki & Koni and me-Keiji) went to another spot.We scoped for a place to shoot some fun tricks.The weather was getting bad in the afternoon so we played with our snowmobiles and came back. (^^)


去年、忠&アキ&マルさん達とモービルキャンプした場所で [:カメラ:]

This is the place where Tadashi, Aki, Maru-san and I camped out with our sleds last year.

 どうもー はい!! 本日もモービルで撮影に行ってきましたー、フィルマーのタローです。メンバーは、タダシ タクミ ショータ オレの4人クルーで山に上がったんですが・・・      またまたやっちまいました!!  今日は、長ーい坂をモービルで登ってる途中で転倒して転がって来るモービルに頭が踏まれたんですが、ヘルメットをかぶってるので助かりました。ヘルメットありがとう!その後自力で立て直ったんですが、なんとそこから無人で坂を直下ってタダシとタクミの方にあり得ない位のスピードで突っ込んでいったんですが、何と奇跡的に途中で止まりました。もし人に当たったりモービルが壊れてたらと思うと何ともなくて助かりました。怪我は、すり傷ていどだったのでラッキーでした。


2007.03.16 Friday

Wassuuuuuuup?This is Taro (filmer).Today’s members were, Tadashi, Takumi, Shota and me.We went up to the mountain and...shi*t! I fell!I bailed when I was driving up a long slope and my sled rolled down over my head! Thank God for my helmet! THANK YOU MY HELMET!After the sled hit me, the sled went down hill all by itself and ran straight toward Tadashi and Takumi with unbelievable speed.Thankfully the sled stopped before it hit Tadashi and Takumi. It was miracle!I was worried about my sled hurting my friends, or what if the sled got broken?! Luckily, nothing bad happened and my wound was only a scratch. 

その後撮ったのがこんなとこでした。

After that we filmed here.

 

タダシ、タクミ、ショータともビタビタいろんなトリックを合計9本飛び本日も、かなーり極上の生ライブを見せてもらいました。モービルにひかれながらも来たかいがありました!!ありがとうライダーの3人。 一日一日の生ライブがDVDになるのが本当に自分も楽しみです!!みなさん、もうしばらくお待ちください。 あと、最後にデッカイ雪崩に巻き込まれた3人です。

  Tadashi, Takumi and Shota did really nice tricks for a total of nine times and it was cool to see them ride in person! It was worth getting hit by my sled!! Thank you riders.I’m looking forward to editing this footage for everyone to see in our DVD!!Ladies and Gentlemen, please wait a little bit more.Thanks!! Three riders were caught in an avalanche.

いぇぃ! どもでーす。同じくハートでフィルマーやってるケイジです!今日はアキ&コニ、フォトグラファーのマルさんと撮影に行ってきましたよ〜久しぶりに冷え込んだので、ハイウェイではスピンして道路脇に落ちてる車がちらほら。通行止めやらなんかスゴかったです。 天気はかなり良くていい一日になるかと思いきや、またやってしまいましたぁぁ…モービルにトラブルがありかなり凹まされました。 でもマルさんやみんなに助けてもらいっていい撮影する事ができて良かったです。(^^;)

2007.03.15 Thursday

Yo! What’s up? This is Keiji the heart film’s filmer.I went shooting with Aki, Koni, and Dice-K Maru today.It had been a while since it was cold and today was a very cold day so there were some cars on the side of the highway because they had slipped on the ice.Some areas of the highway were closed. It was pretty bad. The weather was awesome so that I thought it’s going to be a great day, but... it wasn’t. My sled had trouble and I felt disappointed and sad. At the end of the day, I got a good shot with Maru-san and everybody’s help.


アキ&コニAki & Koni

こんちわー HELLO! どーもー、ハートでフィルマーやってるタローです。最近ウィスラーに来て撮影&PCに夢中です!!大体は、まず朝撮影に行って夕方帰って来てシャワー浴びて飯食って、お疲れビール飲みながらPCしてぐっすり寝る感じでやってます。今heart houseにはアキ コニ、それに最近PCを手に入れていじくりまくってるショータ&昨日来たばかりのタクミにオレの5人で住んでて部屋はこんな感じで楽しくやってます。

2007.03.15 Thursday

Hellooo!This is Taro the heart film’s filmer/editor.I came to Whistler and now I’m crazy about filming and my MAC!!Recently, my life consists of shooting and coming back in the evening, taking a shower, drinking some beers, do some work on my MAC, and then going to bed.In the heart house, there are Aki, Koni, Shota (who got a new MAC lately), and Takumi, who joined us yesterday and me. It’s nice and comfortable.

今日は、朝モービルのエンジンをかけようと鍵を探したら ”どこにも無い”あれ、無くしちゃった!! また、やらかしちまった!!天気もいいのでどうしても山に上がりたかったので、車で片道40分かけてモービル屋に行き速攻で鍵を作ってもらって戻るなんて事になって出だしが遅くなってみなさんに迷惑かけてしまい反省してる現在です。すんません!それで今日は、タダシ タクミ ショータにバートンのカメラマンのジェフに途中参加のオレでこんな感じで

In the morning, I was about to start my sled and I couldn't find my key! Damn, I did it again!!It was so nice today so I must go up to the mountain to shoot so I went to the snow mobile shop and spent 40 min. each way (by car) to make a spare key quickly and come back. I kept everybody waiting in the beginning of the day. I’m so sorry everybody!Today’s members were Tadashi, Takumi, Shota, Jeff- (Burton’s cameraman), and me.

  

滑った場所はこんな感じ         The places were like this.

 

でした。他にもいろいろ滑ったので、これもまた映像が楽しみです。まだまだ撮影続くんで、明日から気を引き締めてがんばりまーす。

We rode some other places so I’m looking forward to checking my film.Filming and shooting are far from finished, so I am keeping my spirits high and enjoying everyday and the challenges that I face. 

03/14/07

I went to the back country to snowmobile and snowboard with Tadashi, Aki, Koni, Jeff Curtis (Burton photographer), heart film’s filmer Taro, and Keiji yesterday.


天気は湿った雪でスノーボードしずらかったのですが、ピローラインをみんなで撮影して帰ってきました!

The snow was wet and little bit hard but we were able to shot some pillow lines.


今日はオフだったんで明日はガンバリま〜す!

Today was a day off but tomorrow, I’ll go kill it!

2007.03.08 Thursday

Yee-ha! It’s Keiji!I came back to Canada after a month!I was stuck for over two hours in immigration… I was worried that I couldn’t get in to Canada, but I could!There was a huge crowd so the immigration officer gave me the look of evil and then let me through. Dice-K, Shibu from the Red eye, Nakai, Fumio, and Haku were on my plane. They were super jonesing to get back riding in Whistler!


出発前の成田で。At the Narita-airport.

Hi there! This is Keiji - the filmer.Today, I went to AKIHABARA looking for some new camera gear.There were many geeky shops like NAKANO broadway (did you know?) or maybe it is more maniac.People in AKIHABARA are quite characters! (^o^;)

何をしでかすかわからないコースケ。bs.ロデオ。 Unpredictable Kosuke. Back side Rodeo.


高さがハンバなかった忠のfs360 Tadashi’s front side 360 was extremely high.


コニのアンダーフリップ。この後ワンフットもしてました。 Koni’s under flip. He rode with one-foot too.


スタイリッシュにでっかく空に舞っていたマグン。

Fs360 Stylish front side 360. Magun was like flying in the sky.

-from Tadashi- Yo, what’s up!? Everybody snowboarding??Before I go back to Canada, I went to the local mountain called “Crico Snowpark” at Yonezawa, Yamagata.It was a nice day of chilling and drinking beers and snowboarding. It was great!!! I gave Heart stickers away to everybody. I met some old guys who were hill climbing and had a party with them.They seemed very happy to drink beers!


03/02/07 moon park 02 

どもです!ハートフィルムスでフィルマーをやっているケイジです。 2月26日から28日まで猪苗代スキー場で行われたMOON PARKかな〜り濃い内容でしたよ〜!天気にも恵まれ、忠達のアイディアでカタチになっていったパークではかなりいいセッションが出来てよかったです! ムーンパークは完成という文字はなく、アイディア次第でどんどん変化していきます。そこまで広くない空間にたくさんの面白アイテム設置。最終日は自分もカメラバックを置いて楽しんできました。個人的には5連続ジャンプが面白かったな〜![:イケテル:] ライダーのみんなは、前の人と同じグラブをしたり、全部バックフリップしたり、かなり楽しんでたみたい。全部バックフリップはさすがに目が回るって言ってました。(笑)

moon park 02 

Hey, this is Keiji - the filmer for Heart Films. The Moon Park Session held from Feb.26th to 28th at Inawashiro was a hit!We were lucky enough to have our session in good weather at the Moon Park. We finished our shoot but we hope to continue with Moon Park and add extra features and keep making our ideas into reality. It is not a big space but there are many fun items. On the last day, I put aside my camera bag and had fun riding too!I liked the feature with the five jumps in a row. It was super fun to see all the riders do a whole bunch of tricks and one up each other and hit the jump all at once. It was crazy! The riders said that their heads were spinning doing so many back-flips! 

03/02/07 moon park

 の帰りに 3日間のmoon park sesionの帰りがけに、アキ、ショータ、ヒロミで撮影してきましたが、ヒロミは足が本調子じゃないので今回はサポートしてくれました。スポットは、なぜか最近専門誌も出てる廃墟。夜はかなり怖そうな場所でしたが、昼間で天気も良くロケーションも最高!遊び上手なアキがスポットを選んでそれをアレンジして遊ぶショータでのライディングにヒロミのサポート。三人の遊び上手なライダーのおかげで今日も素晴らしいショットが撮れました。 

2007.03.02 Friday

On the way back from the Moon Park… We stopped to shoot on the way back from the Moon Park Session.Aki, Shota, and Hiromi were there. Hiromi wasn’t in her best condition so she cheered us on.The spot was a deserted house. It's a spot that would be super scary at night, but under the fine sky it was a nice place to shoot. Aki chose the spot and Shota riigged it up and Hiromi cheered! The three riders had a fun time capturing some interesting images. 


03/01/07 moon park 

猪苗代スキー場での三日間の"moon park sesion " の撮影を無事に終えました。

The Bastards Day feature...

First off let me start by saying Bastards Day was an absolute blast.. I'm still not sure how we managed to pull it all together. The whole thing started out with Dev, JF and myself trying to figure out a way to get the whole crew together for a fun day of filming. Next think I know we have Seymour locked down for the location and Pilsner and Redbull on board for sponsors.



When all those frosty Pilsner tacklers showed up to the office I knew Bastards day was gonna be a day to remember. Setting up the event seemed easy enough. We already picked up 10 GT's and had food & beverages covered.. All we had left to do was build the GT course and a couple obstacles to snowboard on. Wrong.. The Tuesday before the event was an extreme low point. We almost called off the whole thing. Nothing was ready and there was now snow cat or anyone to help get this thing together. Lucky we had JF to take things into his own hands and do what he does best "boss everyone around". All of a sudden we had Seymour employee's who had no idea who we were or that we were even doing an event working for us. It took us two full eight hour days up Seymour digging in the snow to build everything to the level of quality the Bastards deserved. Above: me and Stevie test a couple Pilsners prior to the event.




The GT cross course turned out better than I could of imagined. All I have to say is Dev is an amazing jump builder. The GT course started with a steep drop into a super poppy step down into a steeper landing that led into a roller. If you made it past that then there were 3 massive berms that you'd be cooking into with three other guys on GT's. That was usually where everyone would go down. It ended with a second step down over the Bastards banner with an optional hip. It was so much fun. I personally hiked it 50 times. Above: Kale and his lady cross the finish line.



We had all types of wacky weather the morning of Bastards day. It started out foggy, cleared up, turned cloudy, then dumped for about 20 minutes until the sun finally popped out for the rest of the day. Above: Mikey tells everyone about the new rash going around Eight Mile in front of the Redbull tent during the mid April snow storm.



Bastards day was a snowboard groupies wet Dream. The who's who of the shred scene were all there to take part in the bastardism. Above: Dev and Ikka put on their game faces before the first heat of GT cross.



Even Dickie "the future" Pricklesteen made it up to Bastards day. Must of been between trips. He was an absolute mess until he jumped on his tie dyed GT and guzzled a box of Pilsner. Dickie and Eero got into an argument over who's jacket was brighter but they're all good now..



The Bastards who weren't GTing were posted up in the snow cave which included a DJ booth, a 4 foot long BBQ with more meat than you could imagine and of course a bar stacked with Pilsner, Redbull and Vodka.. Above: Jbone back flips off the snow cave QP, over the Pilsner wall and into the snow cave bar area shirtless(obviously Paavo's request)....

Thanks to JF, Dev, Andy and everyone at Seymour, Paul at Pilsner, Gabriel at Redbull, Damon, Jbone, Chucky, Brisky, Duff all the Wildcats, and everyone who made it up to help and take part in such fun day. Next ones gonna be bigger and better. Keep an eye out for footage in "Still Bastards" out fall 07.........

A few days ago, a classmate of mine commented on how I was not like a girl. He said I don't shop like most girls do, and I don't wear capris, short shorts, and miniskirts like other girls do. *scratches head* I can't help but think that was kinda shallow...
 
I admit it, I'm not like most girls...But tell me, how many girls lounge around their house in skirts? Ha, I do, and I'm proud of it  Besides, skirts are so comfortable to wear
 
And no, I don't shop a lot...mostly because I'm just not interested in keeping up with the latest fashions...Also because I can find better uses for money than shopping...I don't mind that I don't shop a alot...I could come up with a bazzilion outfits with the stacked up clothes in my closet...lol. Believe it or not, one of my friends even consider me to have a good fashion sense...(no, I am NOT making fun of you for saying it...thank you for the compliment btw...) Of course, every now and then you'll see me wearing an article of clothing that happens to be "in"...Oh well...Sometimes I just try stuff out for the sake of it...especially with clothes...And no, I am not absolutely anti-shopping...I still shop, just not as much as most people do... ... ... This is based on the stereotypical amount of time girls spend shopping, so it may or may not apply to you (girls)...
 
And I do wear miniskirts...only once though...lol. Well, I usually skorts when I play tennis...too hot for pants during summer...Then the reason I wasn't wearing capris yet was because my mom stored them somewhere and she's still digging them up and trying to remember where she put some of the other ones. And I just don't wear short shorts, except when it's really hot a t home, soz...
 
That sounded like a desperate attempt to redeem myself, and it was also very silly. I agree...I had no other interesting news, so...cya

The Rugged Riders Tricks R4 Chicks snowboard camp presented by Roxy was four days of explosive energy, determination and pure ruggedness. TR4C set a precedent in eastern Canada as the first, the one and the only, all girls snowboard camp. Mont-Blanc Ski Resort hosted the camp in the private TR4C snowboard park designed with Rugged Riders panel of women shredders and carefully constructed with the Mont-Blanc park rangers and Rugged Staff.

 

The journey began with pick-ups…rallying girls together at their closest Axis boardshops and then loading them into the Rugged Mobile. TR4C gathered girls from as far as Barrie, Ontario and Lac St-Jean, Quebec. From there we headed to the park to see what would be called home for the next four days. With two super smooth booters and a diversity of jibs there was something for everyone. The TR4C private park was the perfect design for learning, and learn we did…

 

Four days of thirty girls owning the private TR4C park was more than enough to pump up the girls to learn new tricks and make new friends. The girls exceeded everyone’s expectations and were progressing at a rate so fast that we could hardly keep up with them! Even the pros were surprised. Amber Stackhouse and Alexis Waite the TR4C guest pro riders camp had never seen a group of girls so motivated and rugged when it came to riding and learning in a camp atmosphere.

 

The beginner freestylers were quickly doing big airs, 180 spins and frontside boardslides while the more experienced riders were practicing their cab 3’s and 540’s or learning steezy tricks on the street rail.

 

After a day on the hill we loaded the Rugged Mobile and headed to camp for some good home-cooked meals, and extra activities. Nighttime was the perfect chance to learn how to crochet, skateboard, give massages, rock climb or have water fights while doing the dishes! The evenings were also the perfect time for the Rugged Crew to take a trip to the spa and chill out in the hot tub, steam baths and sauna.

 

All the girls left with goodies bags from Roxy and Axis Boardshop. They also benefited from great deals on SBC subscriptions, and prizes from DC and APO snowboards.

 

The Tricks R4 Chicks Camp had it all; experienced and certified coaches, guest pro-riders, a private park, awesome food and tons of girls that were truly rugged and ready to shred. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of girls, a nicer park or a more fabulous four days together.

 

For girls ready to shred…we will see you at the Rugged Riders Jump’N Grind event on March 10th. For girls who are interested in some rugged snowboard coaching…they can contact info@ruggedriders.com.

Vancouver, B.C. – Airhole – Ninja Masks You Idiot -  Launches in North American and Japan Fall 2007

 

The Airhole concept is from the twisted minds of Chris Brown and Kale Stephens. It is the most technical concept ever applied on a face mask before. It’s a hole and you breath through it. Sounds simple right? Well it is, you idiot.

 

“Kale and I were up shredding one day in the backcountry and it was super cold on my face. I had used all kinds of scarves and bandanas before but nothing was ever that comfortable. That’s when I came up with the idea for face masks. The name was formed from clouds of smoke and the slogan came out of Kale’s mouth in the first commercial on the Fury blog @ IS designs’ website. “AIRHOLE: Ninja Masks You Idiot” Out of all of that we got a company on the go”, says co-founder Chris Brown.

 

We have always been into ninjas growing up and the masks are, well, ninja masks so we decided to go with that theme. They are far superior to anything that you have put on your face before. They have high quality functional materials that will leave you satisfied in cold or sunny situations. They will also look really dope with stylized patterns and ill fits.”

 

Airholes are available in five different styles, all named after ninja swords and knives, and available in three different colourways: Black Ninja, White Ninja, and Red Ninja. Their team is already heavily stacked: Kale Stephens, Chris Brown, Paavo Tikkanen, Trevor Andrew, Erik Christiansen, Iikka Backstrom, Eero Niemela, Johnny Lyall, Andrew Geeves, Mikey Rencz, Chris Dufficy, and industry veteran Jon Sommers.

 

Airhole will be available in North America and Japan Fall 2007. Endeavor Snowboards is handling all sales and press enquiries for North America. For more information, please contact Chris Martin at 604.646.4727 or chris@endeavorsnowboards.com.

 

 

About

 

Founded by pro snowboarders Kale Stephens and Chris Brown, Airholes are face rags for all of your life activities – snowboarding, snowmobiling, concealing your identity. Using innovative functional materials, unique form fitting patterns, and the most ground breaking concept – a hole that you breath through, Airholes are the most innovative product available in the face protection market today.

"The Time Is Now"
By: John Cena
 
[Chorus: John Cena]
Your time is up, my time is now
You can't see me, my time is now
It's the franchise, boy I'm shinin' now
You can't see me, my time is now!

[John Cena]
In case you forgot or fell off I'm still hot - knock your shell off
My money stack fat plus I can't turn the swell off
The franchise, doin' big bid'ness, I live this
It's automatic I win this - oh you hear those horns, you finished
A soldier, and I stay under you fightin'
Plus I'm stormin' on you chumps like I'm thunder and lightning
Ain't no way you breakin' me kid, I'm harder than nails
Plus I keep it on lock, like I'm part of the jail
I'm slaughtering stale, competition, I got the whole block wishing
they could run with my division but they gone fishing -
- with no bait, kid your boy hold weight
I got my soul straight, I brush your mouth like Colgate
In any weather I'm never better your boy's so hot
you'll never catch me in the next man's sweater
If they hate, let 'em hate, I drop ya whole clan
Lay yo' ass down for the three second tan

[Chorus]

[Tha Trademarc]
Yeah, uhh
It's gon' be what it's gon' be
Five pounds of courage buddy, bass tint pants with a gold T
Uhh - it's a war dance and victory step
A raw stance is a gift, when you insist it's my rep
John Cena, Trademarc, y'all are so-so
And talk about the bread you make but don't know the recipe for dough though
Aimin' guns in all your photos, that's a no-no
When this pop, you'll liplock, your big talk's a blatant no-show
See what happens when the ice age melt
You see monetary status is not what matters, but it helps
I rock a timepiece by Benny if any
The same reason y'all could love me is the same reason y'all condemn me
A man's measured by the way that he thinks
Not clothing lines, ice links, leather and minks
I spent 20 plus years seekin' knowledge of self
So for now Marc Predka's livin' live for wealth

[Chorus - repeat 2X]

.... and i am doing my best not to swallow my own tongue due to all of the anticipation!
 
i was just thinking, (time zones and day light savings allowing - pay attention Anthony) there might be an opportunity for some of us dedicated sb.com'ers to meet up and share the joys of slide during this trip.
 
and so, to ensure that such liaisons are more likely to successfully arise, would it be an idea for all would-be attendees to reply to this little post, by stating when they expect to arrive and leave, where they would hope to actually meet (on what day, at what time, at the base of what lift, etc) and perhaps even post a foto of their current likeness?
 
i am always late, but my missus is never.... and so no matter where we arrange to shake hands for the first time, we will prolly already be there, busy messing about in the snow.
 
please repond with mugshots and details as appropriate and we might look forward to us all laughing as i stack it!
 
tick tock.......

why do I get so pissed when I see pictures of people in Avalanche terrain with no gear (and most likely no idea). do you know what its like to lose a friend to the white dragon. have you had to dig them out and see first hand an ice mask? In 2004 I lost a childhood friend and experienced mountaineer to avalanche. Why do people still take stupid risks in avalanche terrain? do you think "it won't happen to us". this season I'm taking my level 2 avalanche operations. I make it my business to read papers on the new research that has been done around the world. knowledge is key. if you think you can't afford an avalanche beacon probe and shovel, think you can't afford to take a RAC then you can not afford to go into the back country. the odds are stacking up against you. when that fatal day hits you I pray I'm not in the SAR party that has to dig you out and then have to deal with yet another Frozen face that doesn't leave my dreams.

A giant bug has been sighted in a field in Germany using Google Maps Technology.  It is unknown what the bug eats for breakfast or dinner, or where it is going.  The massive insect is estimated at more than 120 Feet long.  That's like the length of 12 basketball hoops stacked together or about 900 Ipod Nanos!  The photo below shows that the bug could be heading to an internet workstation to invade Colonies.com and send you a friend request.
 
 
This is NOT a photoshop...I repeat...this is NOT a photoshop!

The actual bug can still be view by clicking the Google Maps link below:
 
 
If anyone has information about the species of this bug or if it goes well dipped in chocolate, please comment below.
