This is gonna be one helluva show.....

PortersTahoe.com, Burton Snowboards, Corona, Transworld Snowboarding, Alpine Meadows, Ubisoft, Sobe and the Supersuckers are teaming up on the evening of Saturday, October 25th at The Underground club on 555 East 4th Street in downtown Reno, Nevada to present the Burton Team movie It’s Always Snowing Somewhere. A 7pm all-ages, free showing will be followed at 9pm by a $4.99 cover for a 21-and-over premier of the movie and after-party featuring the Supersuckers. Tickets for the second, 21+ screening are available online HERE or at any of Porters’ four North Lake Tahoe shop locations.

The movie It’s Always Snowing Somewhere follows the Burton Team traveling the northern hemisphere, from Austria to Alaska. It features action footage from Shaun White, Terje Haakonsen, Natasza Zurek, Gigi Rüf, JP Solberg, Heikki Sorsa, Nicolas Müller, Tadashi Fuse, Frederik Kalbermatten, Jeremy Jones, Jussi Oksanen, DCP, Mads Jonsson, Trevor Andrew, Keegan Valaika, Kevin Pearce, Danny Davis, Kazuhiro Kokubo, Mikkel Bang, Mikey Rencz and Peetu Piiroinen.

There are only ten other screenings of the movie across the country, and this will be the only showing anywhere in Northern California or Nevada this year. The first 100 people at the family-friendly, all-ages, free showing at 7pm sharp will receive a free lift ticket voucher to Alpine Meadows Resort and a free tour stop t-shirt. An autograph session will follow at 8pm with Burton Snowboards team riders Jussi Oksanen, Danny Davis, Kevin Pearce, Mason Aguirre, Heikki Sorsa, and Kelly Clark scheduled to appear. Doors open at 9pm for the 21+ movie and after party. Tickets are $4.99 in advance and this is expected to be a sold out show.

Local Tahoe bands Cohesion and Hunks of Metal will play before the second showing of the movie. Hunks of Metal feature early pioneers and legends of snowboarding such as Terry Kidwell, Shawn Farmer, and Bob Klein. When asked to play at the event Bob said, “Who has a chance to open for not only the Supersuckers, but a world class snowboard movie as well? We’re looking forward to rocking the Underground for the first time, hopefully not the last, unless we get too drunk and rowdy!” Immediately after the 11pm screening of It’s Always Snowing Somewhere the greatest live rock ‘n roll band in the world – Supersuckers – will take the stage for a rowdy and raucous set. More local bands are scheduled to finish the late night / early morning in the back lounge room while The Underground’s resident DJ will spin the rest of early morning in the main showroom.

For more information on this awesome night email me at chappy@porterstahoe.com or call us us toll free at 866.967.6783.


You won't want to miss this doozie.......

Double Post: We had some server trouble yesterday so here's a nice juicy double post to sink your cyber teeth into. Enjoy!

So we're looking through the All Style Apparel and Active wear catalog here at the office and a couple pages in one of the models start looking real familiar.



I'm like, hey Yvonne give me that. Oh shi*t is that...



Holy crap, its Browner doing a sandal wheelie!

Yeah we have our own Nascar. No biggie..



NASCAR Nationwide Series driver Brian Keselowski # 92 K-Automotive Dodge reppin' IS Eyewear



"IS Eyewear, the fastest gangsta shade in the Nascar game" - Brian Keselowski

So if you read this thing at all you know we have our flow team working hard on their very own video project this season called "Party Snake" of which they pretty much have free rein to do whatever. The only thing I've stressed is to have our updated logo and website on the teaser. At least they pulled through on the logo. Hopefully for the video they can figure out the correct web address.


partysnake from leepipes on Vimeo.

As you can see this isn't going to be a pretty little art snowboard flick. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little worried. We're also gathering footage from the rest of the IS Eyewear allstars (Dev, Wille, Tadashi, Kale, Duff, Andrew Fuller...) for the Party Snake video which will most likely be its own section. Here's the type of footage you can expect from them..



The video will available online but we'll most likely be doing a small run of DVD's with tons of video extras which will be available for free at premieres, through friends of friends and online. Kale is working on his own Airhole video this year as well which we're working on including within the party snake DVD. Its gonna be out there so be ready!

Hey a bunch of my photos are up on the TWS site. No biggie.. Here's a little sampler incase you don't feel like clicking on the link to below.



This shot here is pretty bad ass. Its probably the best image of mountain peeks ever captured. The funny thing is I actually didn't even slow down the sled to get it, I just shot it over my shoulder. I'm getting pretty good at framing stuff without thinking these days..



I'm the only photographer Dev will even consider shooting with these days. We have this unspoken trust thing going on between us thats real difficult to put into words. We just vibe off each other and make magic like the shot above. Nuff said.



Its real close because we're both super talented but I'd have to say my photos style is actually better then Dev's riding style in this particular photo. The thing with photography most people don't really understand is that you gotta play for keeps.

Click here to see the rest of my shots.

Tadashi's uncle's sponsor me vid. Wow, his on some next level video game type moves..



Not bad for 50..

These Rosemonts could be yours free



for simply joining the IS Gang located to the left of this blog if you're on the www.iseyewear.com if not go to our site and sign up now. Or buck up and buy them. Its really up to you.

The twin ninja babies are here! We love Mexico. Kale..



Congrats Tadashi and Yuko on the cutest twin ninja babies I've ever seen. Can't wait to meet them.

Its a fact, we love mexico. I remember. not too clearly but I do remember celebrating Halloween dressed as what we "drunk Canadian teens" thought mexicans looked like for something like 3 years in a row. 



The photo above of Dev and Kale was taken somewhere around 98. I think we dressed up as mexicans for like 3 halloweens in a row... It only took us roughly a decade to finally come out with a goggle dedicated to the special little place in the world that blessed us with fish taco's, salsa, guacamole and terrible hangovers. Better late than never. Mexico, this ones for you!



Kale news: Kale has devised a new method of remembering all the super important things he has to do on a daily basis.

Ladies and Gentlemen, can I please have your attention...





Our office is located in East Vancouver. For those who don't know East Van has a bit of a bad rep. Everyday I show up for work there's something weird going on. Here's just a taste of what I witnessed Today.



Actually this isn't that weird, its my collection of old skate shoes. If I actually still skated there'd be way more up there.



This was in the way of the first place I was gonna park, no biggie but then I



Roll up to the next spot and See Mic Mac invited a buddy to live next to him on our street.



Steve scored the only decent parking spot left on our street snuggled in tightly to some old mattresses.



When we told Dave about the old mattresses he rushed right out and tried to 3 flip them.



As I capture the moment our good buddy Birdie strolls by. Just a warning if you run into Birdie in our hood or at the Bourbon on any given Thursday night... He's more of an outdoor, keep a good distance, don't actually talk to him, just take a photo while you're driving by and hope he doesn't throw anything at you type bud. We tight though..

Dev "the boss man" gets another TWS cover!

Here's the cover of the September issue of Transworld Snowboarding.



Dev was the only one out of the crew to hit this death gap. When "the crew" includes Jussi Oksanen and Andrea's Wiig it really puts into perspective how insane the gap is. Dev truly is the King of modern day back country riding. It's gotta be the goggles.. Look out for his part in Double Decade. He'll blow your mind... Again!

Zeddy called me to say: Hey did you know Todays international sex day!

Update from J man's Portuguese vacation:

Only J Man would meet sand ninjas on his first day in Portugal. I was skeptical too till he sent me this photo to back up the story.



The sand Ninjas were kind enough to take J Man in as one of their own and share their Choco Crack with him.



While enjoying the new exciting Portuguese treat J Man saw what seemed to be a familiar character dancing in the distance.



Thinking it was Zeddy stuck in a dance trance, he ran up to greet his good buddy.



As he got closer he realized it wasn't Zeddy at all. It was actually a young gentlemen by the name of Alvaro. The two conversed on the beach the rest of the day and have now become inseparable. Alvaro, pictured above in the stripes has since invited J man to join his Portuguese folk dance crew. 



They'll be touring Portugal for the rest of the month.

One down, a bunch to go...



! made! Through my first week back to work from vacation that is and wow, what a doozy it was. Not sure if its just me but I never feel rested or relaxed after time off. I actually usually feel like I need another vacation. I must be doing something wrong. 



See the shades Tman's sporting in the photo above. They're the Mont Royal white stripes, we're all sold out of em. Leave a comment below if you think we should do another run. If you need them right away I did see one pair in the display case at Boardroom on west forth yesterday after lunch. Good luck.

Wednesday theme slash trusty technics..

Not sure if you've noticed but this is my third blog post in 3 days. Yes, I'm trying to live up to my word. What to blog about today?? Boring team news like??? ah... Kales sleeping, Duff drank 10 coffee's, Dev's golfing, Mikey has a new weird voice mail message, Wille's experimenting with a new hair cut, Tadashi's eating rice... Nah.. I know, I'll use my trusty google and youtube search technic.


Its Wednesday so I googled "Wednesday images". Super creative, yes I know. Anyway, this is the gold that appeared.




You don't stop when you're on a hot streak so I hit youtube next, searched "Wednesday" again and tadah




I've never seen the movie "Big Wednesday" but will definitely be hunting it down to bring along on my "surf trip" or more realistically "drinking beer on the beach trip" at the end of the month.


You ever realize that once you're on youtube its almost impossible to get off. Its like internet crack. 90 percent of the time you're just watching junk but at the time its more like a butter sandwich. So good going down but you know its bad for you. I don't even know why I'm posting this but I bet you'll watch it till the end.





I guarantee your favorite action sports brand will be sponsoring these dudes next week..

ナイトシュート〜! Night shooting!!

昨日は久しぶりにナイトシュートをやってきました!
雪が降って山もリセットされているはずなので期待大です。
しかしこの日はかなり冷え込んでいて、朝はマイナス17℃。。。
凍傷だけが怖いな〜〜(苦笑)

2008.01.30 (Wed)

Yesterday we went night shooting!
The snow covered the mountain again so it will be really nice.
BUT, the temperature was minus 17 degrees in the morning...I don’t want to get frostbite...


夜の撮影は準備が大変。
照明、発電機など機材も多くなるので準備する時間もかかります。

タダシのバックパックもすごい事になってるな〜。
空とか飛べそうな感じです。
みんなで試行錯誤しながら機材を運びます。(無理矢理?)

For our night shooting, we need to prepare many equipment, such as lights or generators and it takes more time than daytime shooting.

Look at Tadashi’s back pack! He must be able to fly now.
We've finally figured out how to carry all the equipment!



 左からコニ、アンソニー、マルさん。
コニのモービルには発電機。カスタムモービルみたい。(笑)
マルさんは月にでも行けそうですね。

from left, Koni, Anthony, Dice-K
The generator was on Koni’s sled so it looked like a custom-fabricated sled.
Dice-K could launch out into the universe.



 暗くなってからセッション開始!
ここは地形がいりくんでいて難しいランディング。
明るいところから急に暗くなるのでライダーを苦しめてました。

それでもいい写真、映像を残すため納得いくまで飛び続けついにストンプ!
男です。

After dark, the session began!
The terrain was kind of complicated and difficult for landing, because sometimes they had to jump into the dark.

Despite the complications, the riders kept trying to get great footage until they got it!
That’s heartfilms riders for ya!



 また違うポイントへ移動。
コニもドライパウダーを巻きあげていきます。

家を出たのが14時。帰ったのが24時。
あっという間に時間が過ぎていました。
思ったよりロングデイでしたね。。。(^^;)

また今日も行ってきまーす!

We moved to another spot.
Koni shot sprays of powder.

The time we left our house was 2pm and we got home at midnight...time goes by so fast.
It was a long day for sure.

We will go again TODAY too!


2008.01.30 (Wed)

トラブル… Trouble...

ナイトシュート2日目!
今日もかなり寒かった〜。。。
でもそのおかげで雪はかなりかるいです。


昨日より撮影ポイントをしぼって、スムースに準備は進んで行きます。
木の間から飛び出してくるというカッコいいロケーション。
タダシ、コニと順番に飛び出していきます。

しかし、タダシの2度目のジャンプでハプニング…!
突然照明が消え、あたりは真っ暗に。
発電機のエンジンがかからなくなってしまい撮影中断。。。

みんなで原因を探し、あれこれ試すもののまったく動く気配なし…
3~40分格闘したけど動かず…



撮影終了です。。。
無念。。。

2008.01.30 (Wed)

The second day of night shooting!
It was really cold - same as yesterday...though it made the snow light.

We concentrated on shooting today.
There was a cool location that the riders can jump out between the trees.
Tadashi first, then Koni.

But something happened when Tadashi dropped in for his second try...!
Suddenly, it blacked out! The lights went down and the generator’s engine had stopped.
We had to stop shooting...






 発電機は終わっちゃったけど、最後の最後で暗闇セッション!
真っ暗の中、ヘッドライトの明かりだけでスプレーを上げるコニ。
雪はかなりディープ。
We couldn’t figure out what was the problem.
30-40min later we still couldn't start the engine...

Then we gave up shooting...
Too bad...





 タダシも思い切りあげてます。
全然見えてないそうです。(笑)

Although the generator was dead, we had a darkness session at the end!
They only relied on our sled’s head lights.
Koni shot some spray. The snow was a bit deep.




いい雪にタダシも嬉しそう。
いい顔してますね〜!

ナイトシュートはまた今度リベンジ!


ケイジでした〜

Tadashi also shot some spray, but he hardly could see anything.

The nice snow made Tadashi happy.
Do you see him happy?

We will go for a night shoot again soon!

KEIJI


2008.02.06 (Wed)

ライン。 LINE

どもです!ケイジです。
タダシと一緒にBurtonのフレディー、ジェフ&ジェス(フォトグラファー)、アンソニー(フィルマー)とペンバートンへ撮影しにいってきました。

2008.02.06 (Wed)

Hello, it’s Keiji.
I went to Pemberton with Fredi (Burton rider), Jeff&Jess (photographers), Anthony(filmer) and Tadashi.





週末だったので駐車場はたくさんのスノーモービラーで混み混みです。
中にはライフルを持った人もいました。狩人かな??

It was a weekend so there were so many people with their sleds including someone with rifles. Were they hunters?





どのラインを攻めます?

Which line would you like to ride?




夕方は撮影なしでライディング。
タダシと2人で何本も滑ってかなり楽しかったな〜!
雪も最高。気持ちよすぎです。

自分の滑りたいラインを下から見て覚えていても、いざ山の上に立つと全然違うんですよね。やっぱりそう簡単に思い通りになんていかないんだよなぁ。(^^;)
その場その場の地形であそびながら滑ってくるタダシのすごさがあらためて分かります。
ライン系ってむずかしいけど、その分面白さがあるんですね。
In the afternoon, there was no shooting just some riding.
I really had fun keeping up with Tadashi!
Snow was great too. I loved it!

It’s different to see the line at the top or from the bottom. It’s not that easy to ride the line that I marked...



フレディーとタダシ。
フレディーはかなりフレンドリーなナイスガイ。
明日からこのメンバーでロードトリップ。
目指すはレベルストーク。雪も降ってるし楽しみです!

Tadashi can decide his line while he is riding and even though his lines are so sick, he is having fun!
I feel that riding lines are kind of difficult but the same time it’s very interesting.

Fredi and Tadashi
Fredi is a very friendly and nice guy.

We will go on a road trip with these members.
The goal is Revelstoke. It’s snowing there now and it must be nice!


2008.02.08 (Fri)

只今レベルストークです。 At Revelstoke

2008.02.08 (Fri)
Hello, it’s Keiji,
After the eight hours of driving we made it to Revelstoke yesterday!

Today we went snowmobiling but unexpectedly the snow on the mountain was so deep...
It was waist-deep snow so when you land the board stops and keeps sinking like a submarine boat and it was really hard to hike-up too.

It was so foggy that we weren’t able to go up, but at the lower side the snow was heavy...
Difficult situations for searching for spots to ride and shoot.

Ummmmmm... but there must be some good spots!!
We'll keep trying tomorrow too!




どもです!ケイジです。
きのう8時間のドライブの末、無事にレベルストークに到着しました!

今日はモービルに行ってきたんですが、山の上の方は想像以上に雪が深い…
腰上くらいまであったかな?
ランディングしても止まっちゃうんです。ボードはまるで潜水艦みたいに沈みっぱなしで。ハイクもめっちゃ大変です。。

視界が悪いから上には行けないし、山の下の方は雪が重い、、、
なかなかポイント探し大変です…


う〜むむむ、、、きっと何かあるはず!
明日もみんなでがんばって探してきます。

2008.02.09 (Sat)

ROAD TRIP DAY3

2008.02.09 (Sat)
It’s the weekend. There are many snowmobilers here.
Someone loaded the sleds like this...
I think tomorrow will be more crowded. There were many funky old men.




週末です。いっぱいスノーモービラー達が集まってきてます。
中にはこんな感じで積んできてる人も。
明日はもっと集まってきそうです。イケイケなおじさん達がいっぱい。




今日行ったポイントはしばらく誰も入ってないポイント。
ノートラック。
昨日行ったとこより雪もいいかも?


写真の湖はLake Revelstoke。

There were no trucks at today’s spot, no one must have been there for a long time.
The snow was better than yesterday’s spot.

This is a photo of Lake Revelstoke.



 奥へ行くにつれてどんどんどんどん雪が深くなっていきます。
Uターンも楽じゃないんです。
みんなスタック。(苦笑)

いつもスタックしないタダシも深すぎる雪に苦戦してました。
かなり掘ったな〜今日は。。。
筋トレですよ。グッドエクササイズ?!

The snow get deeper and deeper as we went into the backcountry.
Even turning around was quite a job.
Everyone got stuck.

Tadashi rarely gets stuck but today he was having a hard time.
We dug too much today.
It was like muscle training.




雪まみれのタダシとマイキー。

Tadashi and Mikey.




帰りに汚れた車を洗車☆
ピッカピカになると気持ちいいですねー!

でっかいトラックも洗車しにきてます。
タダシのトラックがやたらちっちゃく見えますね。



明日も多分同じポイントに行ってきまーす!
今日以上に何かできればいいな〜。レッツトライ!


ケイジでした。

After we got down from the mountain we washed our trucks.
It’s nice to see a clean car!

A huge truck was next to Tadashi’s.
It’s so huge that Tadashi’s truck looked small.

Tomorrow we may go to the same point.
We’ll try something newer than today.

Keiji,

2008.02.10 (Sun)

大雪ダー。 Heavy Snow!

カナダ西側に大雪みたいです。
ハイウェイも雪崩でクローズしてるとかなんとか…
無事に帰れるのかな??(笑)


今日はドライブドライブ。
でもいいポイントを発見して撮影してきました!
グッドワンです。

明日も行ってきます!


2008.02.10 (Sun)

There’s some very heavy snow falling in West Canada.
Some highways are closed down due to avalanches, I heard.
Can we get home??



 写真はバートンのフォトグラファー、ジェフ・カーティスがやっているフォトブログです。
様々な土地へトリップしている時の写真がアップされています。
いろんな写真があって面白いですよ。
まだこのフォトブログは始めたばかりみたいだけど、これからが楽しみですね!
ちぇっくでぃすあうと!


Jeff Curtes: THIS IS MY BED
www.jeffcurtesphoto.blogspot.com

Today we drove and drove and found some good spots and had some good shooting.
We’ll keep doing that tomorrow too!

This is a photo blog of Jeff Curtes, the Burton photographer, “THIS IS MY BED”.
on the blog you can see the photos he took when he was on his shooting trips.
It’s fun to see that kind of photos on his blog.
He has just started it and it’s going to be sick!

Hello, it’s KJ!
Like Koni said, Matsuyama was just too hot!
We finished the premiers in Osaka and headed to Koni’s hometown by car.
We ate Sanuki-Udon (noodle) to take the alcohol away and freshen up.
We’ve never ate do it yourself boiled noodle and it was so much fun.



  

  

ちょっと早く到着したので、アクロスでスケートボード!
ひと汗かくつもりがあまりのアツさで汗だくに。。。。

We arrived went there with time to spare so we went skateboarding!
It was so hot that we were drenched in sweat!

I went back to Osaka the next day and joined the after party with the “next-R”.
So, four nights straight I was drunk til the wee morning hours! Osaka was really hot and humid by the way.

Snowboard.com News: Still B with Karl Fuhre
By: Snowboard.com


It's been almost a decade since lil' Bastards, why the long wait?

We'll it really hasn't been a decade since we put out a video.  During the filming of Lil' Bastards the Wildcats were born.  The next couple video project that came next simply came out as Wildcats films but obviously followed the same format as Lil' Bastards.   Truthfully at first we weren't even planning to do a sequel.  We just wanted to put out Lil' bastards on DVD for our team and friends.  Before i knew it the project snowballed into a double feature and Dev and JF had some how tricked me into managing the project.

 
I guess you cut Christina and used Paris instead, how did you guys come up with the sound track?
 
For the soundtrack we just wanted something fun to listen to before shredding as well as something we could throw in as a pre-party warm up.  Basically everyone who was involved sent in songs and we went from there.  Musics always a battle because you can never please everyone.  The two songs I really pushed for were the Bastards day song by Eddie Murphy and Rick James "Party all the time" and the credit song by Lionel Ritchie "All night long".  We actually just had someone e-mail in saying they had a girl over while watching Still B's and he got lucky while using it for background music.  That's gotta say something.  The one song that caused us the most problems was the one in Duffs part.  He absolutely hates it and refused to go to any of the premiere for the first month.  He's over it now but we had a couple fun weeks.. ahaha



I noticed JF is the excat same as he was back in 98.  Is everyone still basically the same?
 
Yeah I'd have to say no ones really changed much.  They're all pretty much doing the same shi*t they have since Still Bastards. Snowboarding and partying... That's why we went with the name "Still Bastards" instead of "Big Bastards".  Its not like anyone got any bigger.  I'd have to say out of everyone the only person who's really changed since Lil' Bastards is Devun.  He definitely keeps it classier more often than the rest.  It might have something to do with being married..  But than again, JF has a family he doesn't seem to be slowing down what so ever.


So I guess it's safe to say that it doesn't matter what happens in life, you can always have a good time with your friends?
 
Still Bastards is pretty much a documentary of all our friends having the time of their lives on and off the hill.  Its all about balance, as long as you're having fun you're doing pretty good. haha

 
What's the main thing you hope people take away from watching this?
 
I hope that after watching Still Bastards people will want to go out and buy a shi*t load of IS and WC gear so we can keep doing these types of projects. Haha  Joking, joking... Well half joking.  Still Bastards shows you a pretty up close and personal view of each rider.  After watching it you'll probably feel like you know these guys much better and hopefully understand a little more what IS Design and Wildcats is all about.  Bottom line, we just want people to be stoked to shred and go out and have a good time with there friends.  
 

What is your favourite parts of the movie?
 
Its hard to say which parts are my favorites.  Dev's, Paris, 8mile, Dickie's, Bastards day, Gaetan, Tadashi's, JF's and the credits are all pretty entertaining. Not to mentions the hidden bonus'. 
Finally having Lil' Bastards on DVD is pretty cool too.
 

Big White and ESPO seemed like the crazy trips of the year?  How'd you survive? 
 
I have no idea, both trips definitely took an incredible toll on my health.  I guess just lots of practice.  I've been throwing myself into these extreme types of party situations for years now..

 
How was hanging out with Tom Green and Dave England?
 
Hanging out with Tom Green and Dave England was a blast.  Both those dudes are Fookin' Noots...  They came back to our Condo to party while were up at Big White filming for the feature film "Shred".
Dave wizzed on everything in sight, while Tom got way into Karaoke then stopped us from messing with JF when he was passed out in his own puke.  Its pretty scary when Tom Green's the voice of reason..
 

Do you have any messages or knowledge that you want to pass down to the younger generation?
 
Just do it!

 
Shout outs?

Yeah if you can send people to www.isdsgn.com to buy to movie that would be awesome!

For the month of December anyone who purchases a copy of Still Bastards through our site will also get 1 Wildcats stomp pad, 1 matching Pilsner Koozie, 1 Still Bastards poster and 1 IS design keychain while supplies last!

Unbelievable, yes we know...

ニュージーランド!!
BURTONシュートでニュージーランドのメスベンにいます。(タダシ)
やっぱり寒いですね〜。。。きのうまで夏だったのに!
今日はですね〜山に上がらなかったのでスケートパークでちょっくら汗をかいてきました。なかなか楽しかったな〜。。
一番上の写真は、学さんと二人で海でバーベキューをした時のやつです。
これもまた良かった〜なんかいやされた。やっぱり波の音はいいですね。

Hey, it’s Tadashi. I’m in Methven, New Zealand for BURTON a shoot.
As I expected it is so cold… I was in summer heat yesterday, you know!
Today, I didn’t go snowboarding but instead went skateboarding for some fun.

This picture was taken when I had a BBQ with Manabu.
That was so nice to have a BBQ at the beach. Hearing the lapping of the waves was really good and I felt comforted...

祝!! Congratulations!!

8月4日はマネージャーのYuhoとDaveの結婚式でした〜〜!!
Yuhoはビデオ編集最終行程で結婚2日前まで頑張ってくれてました。
(ギリギリまで仕事させてしまってゴメンね…)

天気予報は雨だったけど、昼間は晴れてくれて無事に式もできて最高でした。(^^)

On August 4th, Yuho and Dave had their wedding ceremony!!!

Yuho is our manager and she was working with us editing our film until 2days before her wedding.
Yuho, sorry for making you work up to the last minute!

The weather forecast said it was going to be a rainy day, but during the ceremony everyone was blessed with fine weather. It was a really nice ceremony.



  

↓写真は左からナターシャ、デイブ、ユーホ。

飼っているラブラドールのミキとルカ(見切れてるけど…笑)もお祝いしてくれました。


Yuho’s baby dogs Miki and Luca celebrated with them too.

夜のパーティーは大盛り上がりでした。
ライアンのDJでみんな踊りまくり!
日本の披露宴とは違ってかなり自由な感じでした。(^^)
服装もラフだし、その日仕事だった人は終わってそのままパーティーに参加したり、、、形式にとらわれてなくて面白かったな〜!



Dave & Yuho本当におめでとう!

The wedding cake was handmade by Yuho’s friend.
Two snowboarders were on the top of it.

We had sooooo much fun at the party at night!!
Everybody danced like crazy with DJ Ryan.
It was not like any Japanese wedding...Canadian weddings are kind of casual and freestyle. The people who came in later to the party were like they just came from work.



  

I like the way they party in Canada.

Dave&Yuho, we are all really happy for you two!!! Congratulations!

Hello! This is Keiji.
The editors(Taro, Nobu and me) came back to Japan today.
It’s hotter than we could imagine… I thought I would melt!

We were so busy on the last day in Canada packing, cleaning up and keeping our sleds in appropriate places etc…
But we could have a last drink with our room mates and that was so great.

We got in Canada on December and spent a whole six month filming and two month for editing. Now finally we have reached the stage that we can show you the video...
On August 19, we will have the first preview party at the Applestore in Ginza, Tokyo!
Let’s kick it!!!

写真はその中でもよく撮れた方です。

The day after we came back, there was a fireworks exhibition at Tokyo Bay.
Most of the fireworks were hidden by buildings but the ones I saw from my roof were so beautiful!!

These are the best shots of the fireworks.

The next day the festival of the Tomioka-Hachimangu was held in my hometown.

People were carrying Mikoshi (a portable shrine) and were walking around town, and people along the road were carrying water with hoses and buckets. (aka; Watering Festival)

Next year’s festival will be the big one that is held every three years.
Tomioka-Hachiman- Festival is one of the three big festivals of Edo (Tokyo), and there will be 54 Mikoshis in the street next year.



  

  

明日はエディターのノブ君と一緒に、忠の地元の祭りに行ってきます。

毎年やってるんですけど、蔵にとっておいた雪をまいてみんなでsnowboardしちゃうんです!

楽しみですな〜!

I’m going to Tadashi’s hometown tomorrow with Nobu to go see the community festival there.

The festival is held annually and this year’s highlight is the snowboarding that will be held there. People will make man made snow and everybody will snowboard in the middle of summer!

I’ll post it for you too!

Everyone was so drunk!!
The riders were so high and jumped into the jacuzzi with their underwear!!
Some boys were thrown into the jacuzzi and their cell phones were toast...

Thank you for everyone who joined us!!

RED BULL ELEVATION BMX CONTEST WHISTLER
THE REDBULL BMX ELEVATION CONTEST IS UNDERWAY...THESE GUYS ARE SICK!!! WHAT AN AWESOME EVENT!!!


お祭り! Festival!
7月1日はCANADA DAY!
日本で言うと建国記念日かな?
2007.07.03 Tuesday
It’s CANADA DAY on Jul.1st!!




ウィスラーの町の中はあり得ないくらい人だらけ。
パレードしたりお祭り騒ぎです。
In Whistler village there were so many people!
A lively parade was held and people were so excited!









“THE RED BULL ELEVATION BMX CONTEST IN WHISTLER” was held.
These guys were killing it during practice session when we saw them.


BMXの大会の『Red Bull ELEVATION』はこの日が本戦。
見に行った時はみんな公開練習してました。


みんなスゴい飛びっぷり。
All the riders were landing crazy jumps.



隣のダウンヒルのコースもヤバいすね〜。。。
たらーっ


Downhill Mountain bike is the shi*t, dude!

ペンバートン SK8パーク Pemberton SK8 Park
昨日はみんなでスケートしにペンバートンという隣町まで行ってきました〜チョキ
ウィスラーから車で30分くらいのところで、牧場やゴルフ場、農園など自然盛りだくさんのかなりのんびりした町です。
2007.07.04 Wednesday

We went skateboarding to Pemberton yesterday.
Pemberton is just 30min. north of Whistler by car and it’s a town richly
endowed with nature.
There are farms, ranches and golf courses so my impression of Pemberton is
like “an easygoing town.”



初めはローカルの子供達がいっぱいいたけど、すぐに帰ってしまったのでパークは貸し切り状態。
There were many local kids but after a while they all went home so it was
like our own private park.


パークの隣には馬が。
There were horses close by us.


ノリノリの忠

久しぶりに外でのスケートは最高だったな〜!
いい汗かけました。

よーし!頭もすっきりしたし、ガッチリ編集に打ち込みますよ〜
ひらめき



Tadashi was excited.

It was so nice to skate board under the sun!
We worked out a sweat.

I had a nice refreshing time so I can do my best editing films now!


タカより

カナダのキャンプオブチャンピオンに6月終わりから7月頭まで参加しました。

今回はパイプよりもキッカーやレールをメインに練習したのですが天気にも恵まれて楽しく滑れました!

この後はフッドに行きます!パイプをしてなかったので不安ですが今回のカナダでスノーボードの幅が広がったので頑張れるような…?
2007.07.06 Friday
From Taka...

I joined the CAMP OF CHAMPIONS of Canada from the end of June to the beginning of July.
This time I practiced a lot of kickers and rails rather than the usual half pipes that I ride...
I had fun times and was blessed with good weather.

After this I’m heading to Mt. Hood!
I haven’t practice half pipe for a while but I can hang tough at Mt.
Hood because I learned something at the COC camp...I hope?



ハートフィルムの皆さんありがとうございました!
Thank you heart films!

2007.07.06 Friday

I’m really into Yoga lately.
Have you ever done it before?
Give it a try it’s nice.

These are the photos taken at Los Angeles when we went there.



祝10周年!10th Anniversary!!
どもです! ケイジです。
忠と2人でちょろっとスケートパークへいってきました。
コンクリートなんでちょっといつもより緊張したけど、乗ってるだけで楽しいスね。
2007.07.09 Monday
Hello, it’s Keiji.
Tadashi and I hit the skateboard park a little bit.
I felt my body tense up because of the concrete ground, so I didn’t try any tricks but I could still have fun just riding my skateboard.



まだ明るいけど夜9時すぎです。


その後はいつもお世話になっている寿司屋10周年パーティー♪
お寿司おいしかった〜!
サバ最高! ごちそうさまです。
久しぶりにみんなで朝まで飲んで楽しかったな〜!
たまに酔っぱらうのもいいですね。(笑)

It’s still so light out but it’s after 9pm.

After we hit the skateboard park we joined the party for SUSHI-YA’s 10th anniversary.
Sushi was soooo yummy!
I love mackerel! Thank you Yama-san!
We kept drinking until the morning, it was so much fun!
Getting drunk once in a while is not bad at all.



仙台のおいしい日本酒。かなり飲みやすいです。   忠のボード、heartのデザインをしているケンタ君。

Japanese sake. It’s really tasty. Heart films and Tadashi’s snowboard designer, Kenta.


忠&ノブ&マルさん。酔っぱらってますな〜。(笑)   オーナーのヤマさんもいい感じ。10周年おめでとうございます!

Tadashi&Nobu&Dice. So drunk! Yama-san is the owner here. Congratulations!


height="375" alt="" class="pict" />
ヤマさんこれからもおいしいお寿司をにぎってくださいね。
僕らの憩いの場をお願いします。
熱燗


Yama-san, please keep making Sushi for years!
Thank you for letting us come to your “oasis” all the time!

ほんじゃ!

2007.07.11 Wednesday

Today was so hot!
We couldn’t help going to the lake on such a hot day.
It was so nice - just as I expected!

The members were me Tadashi, Nobu (Editor), Kenta (Designer),
Zack (Bartender), Max (Dog), John (I don’t know what he is doing...) and
Eric (him too).
We had a really nice time and cooled off.
By the way, the location of this lake is...a secret!

There is nothing like drinking beer in the summer!
Bye for now!



さまーきゃんぷ。 Summer Camp!
どもでーす!

Taka’s point of view! This is his half pipe point of view...

It’s interesting to see what Taka’s “point of view” is like on video.

It’ll be in the DVD too.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Yui and Yuji got married in Whistler! You may know these guys from Samurai Sushi if you have ever come to Whistler...Congratulations and have an awesome life together!

The usual suspects were present with their significant others and their babies!!!

I guess its that time of year of weddings and new babies!

Take and Miki...they are living in Coquitlam right now and Miki is becoming a Shiatsu master! Take is just chillin' at their new house trying to figure things out... Take and Miki came PIMPIN' as usual...
