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.

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.

TransAm: Hyland Hills

By Adam Kisiel
Feb 4, 2008
 
Going to the circus is something everyone should do at least once in their lifetime. My favorite part was seeing how big the elephant poop was and watching what seemed like a thousand midget clowns crawl out of a vw bug. I was consumed in this same feeling, while I stood at the bottom of the TransAM mini park at Hyland Minnesota. An event that I thought would never rival the raw in your face experience of seeing that same group of circus clowns pedaling around on one bike, all sitting on each others shoulders, while they juggled axes.

The event started in vicious fashion as all 130 riders disregarded any official start and started the traffic jam in an everyone for themselves riot. The Ride Snowboards feature was a gigantic mailbox where at any given time you could see upwards of four riders jibbing it at once. The Dakine feature was a plastic sewer pipe wide enough for Paul Bunyan's crapper. The park crew at Hyland set it up like an oversized pole jam or poop shooter, much to the delight of the Dakine twins. Half of the field gathered around the Oakley mini quarter to stage their own Artic Challenge session on the mini replica feature. The High Cascade volcano jump was spitting out riders at a rate that sent tremors across the twin cities area. Dan Liedahl and Tanya Zarling were seen on the Zumiez flat box and the Hyland rainbow, jibbing in search of the Transworld Snowboarding pot of gold, in the form of TransAm top honors.

One of the competitors must have noticed the look on my face as I watched in awe of the no holds barred action. He smiled and said, "this is just like any other Saturday at Hyland, don't fall or you will turn into the next jib." It was at that point I thought this wasn't just another TransAm stop, but a stage for only the most talented, raw, and untamed. I was sure that these kids would jib your face off if there was a take off up to it. Andy Barringer proved you didn't need to jib anything, you just needed to be upside down throughout most of the contest. He joined the list of 40 riders that made it to the Ultimate Jam finals. In the finals Josh Tranby MJ'd nearly every feature and the Hyland park crew added a hit to gap the backside of the quarter pipe. This was not the time in the circus where those little dancing ponies took center stage; it was time for the fire-eaters and lion tamers to be showcased. The winners from this intense showdown to throw down walked away with Ride Snowboards, Dakine custom backpacks stuffed with awesomeness from Oakley, Transworld Snowboarding, and Zumiez. High Cascade trophy babies were also awarded to the top three competitors. There is a small resort in the city of Minneapolis where the riders are under the close watchful eye of uniformed officer's with badges, as they contend to see who drops in next. It is only fitting since these rider's show no signs of backing down to anyone. Hyland MN is not for the soft.

TransAm Hyland Final Results:

Men:
1. Dan Liedahl
2. Todd Kirby
3. Jeff Gabrick

Women:
1. Tanya Zarling
2. Coco Cook
3. Monica Nhep

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

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!

 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!

2007.03.17 Saturday

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 

03/15/07 

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.

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

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!

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.

スタイリッシュにでっかく空に舞っていたマグン。

2007.03.03 Saturday

-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。

Well that was more than interesting. For the past month I pulled 12-18 hour days 6 days a week and an 8 hour day on the 7th.... This isn't the first time I've overworked myself to the point of throwing up, so I've kind of learnt my line and not to cross it again.
Submission season round 1 just finished and I've gotten just under 20 photos out there to 4 different mags - Future Snowboarding, Snowboard Canada, Transworld Snowboarding and Playboard Magazine. I hope you guys get a chance to pick up all of these wicked magazines, and hopefully there'll be some of my shots.  It was a great year and I had tons of fun.

PRO PHOTOGRAPHER SHOWDOWN FINALISTS ANNOUNCED BY

WHISTLER’S WORLD SKI & SNOWBOARD FESTIVAL

 

Action Sport/Lifestyle Competition Features World’s Best Shooters in Showdown for $10,000 Purse

 

Whistler is gearing up for a clash of the titans, when five of the world’s best lifestyle and action sports photographers compete in the tenth annual Pro Photographer Showdown at the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival, April 18 2007.
 
 
 The five selected photographers will be flown to Whistler for a gala presentation on April 18, 2007, lured by the bright lights of the Festival, the industry’s preeminent celebration of action and lifestyle photography and a $10,000 prize purse.
 
 At the Pro Photographer Showdown, the most dynamic moments in action sports are captured and mounted, trophy-style, for an appreciative 2000-strong crowd in a series of self-curated 9 minute multimedia presentations.
 
The “Best of Show” designation conferred at the renowned photography expose will see the winner join an alumni that includes Kevin Zacher, Eric Berger and Aaron Chang, who will judge the Showdown alongside Whistler’s “King of Light” Paul Morrison, and long-time host of the Pro Photographer Search, writer and creative mastermind Leslie Anthony.
 
Throughout its ten year history, the Pro Photographer Showdown has featured stunning photography from renowned surf photographers Aaron Chang, Jason Childs, Jeff Divine and Warren Bolster; skateboard gurus J. Grant Brittain and Jon Humphries; acclaimed mountain bike photographer Sterling Lorence; ski & snowboard legends Kevin Zacher, Eric Berger, Paul Morrison, Blake Jorgenson, Mark Gallup, Scott Markewitz, Dave Heath, Vianney Tisseau and Mattias Fredriksson, among others.
 
 
The five finalists are:
 
Peter Taras – San Clemente based Taras comes by his boho-creative blood legitimately. His grandfather was a revolutionist photographer who fought the reds and was hung by Stalin.  Having worked as Photo Editor for Transworld Surf Magazine since he was 24 means Taras spends more time in the editing suite than out shooting, and his brain is full of shot-lists still to be captured.   
 

Endre Løvaas – This 36 year old Norwegian says he has no plans to quit his day job as Marketing Manager and Senior Photographer at Fri Flyt, Norway’s biggest ski and snowboard mag to focus solely on photography.   He’s shot with Matchstick Productions and produced images that have been published all over the world.

 

Nick Hamilton– He’s got the mongrel accent of a half Finnish, half British, half American guy, with multiple seasons in the French Alps under his belt. Currently photo editor at TransWorld SNOWboarding magazine, the 29 year old shutter-veteran edited British snowboard mag White Lines before moving to Cardiff, SoCal to take up his current role. There, he earned TransWord a Henry R Luce Cover of the Year special citation. And still can’t surf worth a damn.

 

Jeff Curtes – Boulder-based Curtes is the Principal Photographer for Burton Snowboards, and has been tripping around the world shooting for Burton since his big break in 1994. He has a degree in political science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a single credit in photojournalism from the Agricultural Journalism department and a stash of childhood memories of snowboarding with his brother Joe in the backwoods of the Wisconsin countryside.
 
 
 Jody Morris – He spent a 10 year stint as senior photographer for Transworld Skateboarding magazine, and has freelanced for almost every major skateboard magazine in the world, as well as Men’s Fitness, Transworld Snowboarding and shooting a host of skateboarding's most iconic and influential ad campaigns, such as DC Shoes, Etnies, Adio Footwear, Quicksilver, Nixon, World Industries, Dakine, and Tony Hawk Inc.
 
 
For more info on the finalists check out: http://www.whistler2007.com/2007/photo/

ARC’TERYX and Whistler Blackcomb will present the inaugural Deep Winter Photo Challenge January 3 through 6, 2007. The contest celebrates the typical January weather systems that pelt the majestic Coast Mountain Range with storms, leaving behind epic powder days and deep tree skiing throughout the winter months.

Deep Winter has invited five photographers to team up with athletes of their choosing, and spend three days inbounds on Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. Their goal is to capture the essence of the legendary winter storms and bring that to life in a slideshow presentation. The photographers will present their work in front of judges and the public on Saturday, January 6 in Whistler. 

Deep Winter will showcase some of the who’s who among Whistler’s ski and snowboard photographers. Contest participants include: Whistler ski photography legend Paul Morrison; Future Snowboarding Magazine photo editor and long-time Whistler snowboard photographer Dano Pendygrasse; Snowboarder Magazine’s senior photographer Oli Gagnon; contributing photographer to Transworld Snowboarding and Snowboard Canada Dice-K Maru; and 2005’s Powder Magazine ‘photo of the year’ winner Bryn Hughes. The five will compete for $3,250 in prize money and the right to boast the title ‘king of storms’. This contest will be a deeply inspiring event for every winter storm lover, as each photographer will no doubt deliver a compelling journey through Whistler’s deep winter.

“This contest was born out of the fact that many ski or snowboard photos depict blue sky days and don’t often pay tribute to the awesome winter weather that can roll through the mountains,” says Mike Douglas, professional skier, long time Whistler local, and the inspiration behind the contest. “The really stormy days here in Whistler make for some epic days on the mountains. This contest is all about celebrating and embracing that weather, and sharing those moments with others who are as passionate about winter storms!” 

The slide show, taking place at Millennium Place on Saturday January 6, will be followed by a party at the newly renovated Glacier Shop, located right across the pedestrian stroll. Millennium Place doors open at 7pm with the slide show beginning at 8pm. Tickets for the slide show and after-party are $9.99 and can be purchased at Millennium Place, Ticketmaster or online at Ticketmaster.ca.

“What a great way to celebrate the drama of the coastal storm season,” says John Irvine, Sports Marketing Director at ARC’TERYX. “At ARC’TERYX we are inspired by the majesty of the mountain environment, and each storm provides a fresh and dynamic canvas for these artists/photographers, and the athletes they will work with. To assemble Whistlers’ best photographers to capture this as a subject will be a unique and amazing spectacle.”

“We are very excited to bring these five amazing local photographers together under one roof to see what they create after three days on the mountains,” says Whistler Blackcomb’s public relations & communications manager Christina Moore. “This contest really speaks to our roots as a resort. Whistler has built its reputation in part on our stormy weather, as this is what delivers such incredible ski conditions throughout the winter. We’re thrilled to be celebrating this along with these renowned photographers. It’s going to be a great event.”

Things have been pretty hectic over here lately. Lucky for me Kale has been coming by to help out when ever he can. Here's a little clip of Kale in action.

Kooley came to Vancouver for a little visit earlier this week. That's him in the middle of Paul and Duff not looking.

When we weren't skating, eating or drinking caesars Kooley was painting. He loves the color yellow and hates the color pink.

We shot Kooley and Dev's ads Tuesday. Keep an eye out for them in future issues of Transworld Snowboarding. They're pretty choice!

Have I ever mention Kooley's tall? Infact he's the tallest rider on I.S. Even when he's crouching he's taller then most of the guys on the team. Look for yourself...

That black stuff on Kooley's arm isn't elbow grease its one of his new Tattoo's.

Kooley, you forgot your arm ointment in my truck. Let me know if you want it sent out in your next package. If I don't hear from you by 6pm Today I'm tossing it. It creeps me out.

Mike McEntire wrote this
for the TransWorld snowboarding industry conference, but was unable to read it.


The Warriors Way

The distant drums pound the voices are low
I struggle to find words for the legends that grow
With ideals to protect on a path so pure
The poison of mediocrity must be obscured


Although they have fallen they still push us forward
No compromises, perfection explored
Their battles were waged on the highest of peaks
Our sacred ground no place for the weak


Soaring high into the lofty clouds
No compromises ever allowed
Their lives so vibrant it is plain to see
The path of perfection is what they did seek


Their spirits have reached the highest ground
Where stakes can be deadly let these words resound
It is our remembrances that keep legends bold
So band the drum loudly let their stories be told


I Will Never Forget
MM2003
