My Blog: f*ck the movie "Step Brothers"
By: Pennywise101

Just watched this movie past weekend, and now our teacher is making us watch it. On 10 this movie deserves a 5 or 6. The only parts that were funny were, either in the previews or not worth the 4$. It was just too silly, there was no plot and too much swearing, I'm not a guy who doesn't swear but adding the Syllable 'f*ck' to any word DOES NOT MAKE IT FUNNY. Movie got too serious at the end too.
I'd rather work in class than watch this movie again. Oh well, at least I get to screw around before the bell, and since we're watching a movie everything changed place so I just keep dragging a girl on a chair around class.

My Blog: MDP's "Double Decade" Premier with the DC Crew
By: Porters_Tahoe

"Enjoy The Ride...More" is DC’s marketing slogan for their highly anticipated release of snowboards this winter. Last night at 50-50 Brewery in Truckee, CA, PortersTahoe.com and the DC crew – including riders Devun Walsh, Iikka Backstrom, Aaron Biittner, and Lauri Heiskari – all came out with more than just their A-game to kick off this 20th anniversary edition of Mack Dawg’s "Double Decade."

Somewhere between 400 to 500 people joined Porters and DC at the biggest movie premier ever at 50-50 Brewery. There were two screens – inside and outside – showing the next progression in riding with several very well-received segments from not only the DC crew, but riders like Wille Yli-Luoma, Eero Ettala, and the closing part of Jussi Oksanen. The movie also sprinkled in 20 years worth of snowboarding pioneers and ground breaking MDP parts over the years from names like Chris Roach, Nate Cole, Noah Salasnek, JP Walker, and Jeremy Jones (past and present). "Double Decade" truly does give you more by throwing in a great, eclectic mix of music from the likes of the Pet Shop Boys, Devo, David Bowie, Doobie Brothers, and – believe it or not – the Grass Root’s "Let’s Live For Today" for a very soulful and artistic Jussi part.

But that wasn’t all for the day.

Chris “Gunny” Gunnarson from Snow Park Technologies arranged for some of the Porters crew and the DC boys – Devun Walsh, Iikka Backstrom, Aaron Biitner, and first-time golfer Lauri Heiskari – to play a round of golf at Northstar-at-Tahoe earlier in the afternoon. Conditions were ideal. Scores were very competitive in a "best ball", two-man format of 5 teams. In the end, a little home-field advantage – and let’s face it – just plain better skills from Gunny and Walsh propelled them to the win.

Longtime Nor Cal industry veteran and DC sales rep Ron Depp put the evening in perspective this way, "It’s amazing that we could draw such a large crowd with only 5 days advance notice and have so many ex-pros and industry people come out of the woodwork...or the Truckee woods!" Bill Markham, DC Snow Sales Manager, added, "Double Decade is a walk down memory lane that showcases many legends of the 90’s rail brigade. The film also captures how shredding has progressed from backyard rails to big mountain kickers. Couple this with almost 500 kids, beer from 50-50, great support from Porters and DC pro shreds Iikka, Devun, Biittner and Lauri and you got a night you won’t forget....or remember in some cases!"

Judging by how big of a smile Lauri Heiskari had at the end of the night, everyone truly had a great time...and MORE!

Snowboard.com News: Canadian Charles Reid is The Grand Master of Stylewars 2008
By: Snowboard.com

The final day of snowboarding at Stylewars was held under perfect Australian skies without a breath of wind.

The riding standard was beyond ridiculous, the course was softening in the hot sun and tricks were getting thrown that have never before been seen on snow down under.

Leading the charge today was a man on a mission, last year’s grand master Torstein Horgmo (NOR) who was sending massive smooth tricks with rarely a hand out of place. He took out best trick with an insane switch backside 1260 melon deep into the landing of the first jump.

“I wanted to try the 12 and I got it around so I was pretty happy about that and I got the front ten a lot better and a few mellow fives. The jumps just got better and better everyday… everyone was killing it, we couldn’t have had a better day.” Torstein said.

The overall winner of the event was Canadian Charles Reid who dominated for the entire three days of the gruelling event that included today. Charles fresh from winning the 28 Stair rail event presented by Volvo last night powered on today with a slew of 1080’s, rodeos and a consistent style that had him pushing out fellow Canadian Matts Kulisek for the win. Matts finished 3rd behind Torstein.

Charles rode through a bruised heel injury with only the win in mind. “My heel is alright, but it just hurts really bad when I land on it. We had 20 minutes left of the competition, it hurts so bad but I just had to keep riding.” Charles said. “Usually in a contest its spin to win but with the rider judging I’m going to vote for style for sure, Shayne Pospisil (USA) and Robbie Walker (AUS) were riding insane.”

After the riders vote was tabulated into the results Shayne Pospisil ended up 4th overall and had this to say. “The standard was so high it was motivating me to step it up and throw down. Everyone was stomping everything. For the riders vote I was looking for just who was smooth over the three days.”

Chas Guldemond after knocking himself out heavily in NZ flew into Stylewars at the last minute to compete and take 5th overall. His result moves him into first place on the overall standings of the Swatch TTR World Tour.
“It’s only the second comp of the year so I’m sure Charles Reid will be biting at my heals after this contest… I wanted to come in to Stylewars and check out the contest, slow it all down a bit and enjoy the contest and focus on my style. I’m going to take this as a good base for practice for the start of the season.”

In the coveted Bledisnow Cup competition between Australian and New Zealand, the Australian team stood strong today with incredible riding from Ryan Tiene, Robbie Walker, the Allan brothers and 15 year old Jye Kearney who was whiskers away from stomping 90-foot front ten tails. One to look out for from Down Under.

“Snowboarding is great for the Aussie scene cause we get a lot of amazing riders down here for it and get a lot of publicity out of it and more and more riders are hearing about, it’s a good thing for sure.” Ryan Tiene said.

My Blog: Long Read
By: JaiBarks

Read if you want... I was high on Rockstar when I typed this out. So that is why none of it will most likely make sense.

you know what...

I've been thinking... I know surprising eh ? haha shut up.

What would life have been like if everything was different ? I don't mean like absolutely everything or else I would be named Wolf, and most likely wouldn't be in the situation I am in currently, I'd already be out on the streets saving people. but here is what I mean, what if certain things in my life were strategically different. Well there is the absolutely obvious, school choices, what I did at school, or the lack thereof. But what I am specifically talking about was when I was living @ 88 Culver Crescent in London.

So there was 2 of the 5 that moved in earlier than the rest. You would think that we would be like having dinner together, lunch whatever. But for some messed up reason, we really never did? Which looking back at it now could be because the other half wanted it her way or no way. But that is how she was brought up so there was nothing I really could do to combat that. So that could be why we were two completely different functions items. But now that I am looking back, it really bothers me. It honestly does. Like I could not imagine how much better it could have been if everything could have just been more pleasant in the first couple weeks leading up to signing the lease and then the following weeks of move in days/time. All of the emotional convo's that we did have just me and her either sitting in my room and just chatting for hours, or sitting in her room on the bed drunk off our asses, or me sitting on the stairs and just shooting the shi*t, why could those experiences happen, but we could not just get together and have a meal ? I mean, me and her were the original 2 that would chill in Pre-Health, and then in Residence. But back to the whole meal thing. How many things would have changed if only we got together for meals. Guidelines might have been easier to be set (None were set in reality). When dinner would roll around, I would eat upstairs, she would downstairs. but why ? duh, the confrontations. It was just weird, flipping back and forth. How many confrontations never would have happened if only we ate together once and a while. Only in the final months were we "sorta" closer. We gathered around Pussycat Dolls: The Search for the Next Doll. Yes I watched it and called them all whores. and yes I cheered for Chelsea to win, or the other girl to win, oh well. I know I am not normal, shut it!

I know I also have been talking in circles, but it happens once and a while... and I mean the Rockstar obviously is helping this haha. Let's see. then there was the girl. What was I thinking... and since I am posting this on Deviantart, Fb, Snowboard colonies, along with a couple other places, sooner or later she will prolly read this, if she admits it or not. Was it a right choice, at that point I thought it was because she looked like one of the girls on my brothers baseball team that I, in the simplest terms, adored. This girl was just stunning in my young eyes, and since I knew I never had a chance with this girl since I was so young, I averted my eyes to this new girl, that as I saw it looked like her. and I mean being with her for as long as I did, I don't even see the likeness at all anymore. But I did at the time. oh well. I wouldn't call my life ruined from her, but my life didn't get much easier when she was around. I did enjoy her company, because I never had someone who I could go to that wasn't my mom or brother. Sorry to myself, but it's the truth. I have never had someone whom I could just talk to and let everything go, I could laugh with, talk to for hours about nothing, just sit and say nothing, or play video games and actually not have to teach the person how to play, they would just try and really wasn't that bad. Not better than me, a durr, I couldn't have that now could I ? yeah I didn't think so either haha. So yeah, I never have had someone like that that wasn't blood, and I was at that time, glad I did have it. Wow Rockstar works eh ? haha. I am shaking... Although it could be from the coldness of the room. Back to her. So shi*t was alright, I felt like the protector, and I really liked this new power. and Since she will prolly find this sooner or later (I hope) here goes the big secrets. The friend I said that I argued with about you, and I said that I lost touch with because I didn't like what she was saying about her, never happened. There was no arguement between my good friends back in good ol' St.C. If there was, no girl comes before my friends, sorry, My friends come first, especially the person I was saying I lost touch with. I mean yeah, we do butt heads once and a while when I think she needs to go to College or know that some of her choices are stupid, but shi*t happens, and we have (hopefully) gotten past that past instances. back to the girl. There was a conversation with my one roommate about her though, while I was still in res. I talked to the one guy, and he told me to get out because obviously I wasn't happy. a year later... I didn't listen to him obviously. But time happens. Next, I never wanted you to meet my friends, why people would most likely ask... because in my eyes at least at that time, I thought you were good enough for me, but you would never be good enough for my friends. I know it doesn't make any sense that you would be good enough for me, but not them. I was just I guess embarassed to show them that I had in fact found something out in the "REAL WORLD" that I enjoyed. In the back of my head the entire time I knew I should have been with someone more "fit" or "athletic" maybe a volleyball player or something like that... you people reading this understand right ? The typical girl. Someone who I could take home and be like see, she is my girl, not.... bring someone home and be see, here she is, not here is MY GIRL. just here SHE IS... Obviously this is pig headed of me and I realize this. But for some reason still beyond me, I wanted some sort of companionship. I guess I got that from her ? Don't know about her since she doesn't write like I do, like this for example. Which is really another reason why we don't talk now. She can't talk, it is like a permanent tongue cut... make sense ? not trying to make that a jab at you if you are still reading this. You just could never communicate with me in your own "heart" and "feelings". they were always someone else's feelings or thoughts.

Which brings me to paragraph 3. EVERYONE ELSE'S FEELINGS. wow my hands are cold. keep going. no more Rockstar tonight. It was never you and I, and I think that was one of the problems we had. Since you couldn't say what you thought, at least as much when you would, I would shut you down and make everything you said look wrong. My linguistics did that and I apologize, not like it helped. Back to the topic. Since you couldn't say what you thought and felt, you went to surrounding passers-by, who divulged into lives and lurked for too long for me to be comfortable. Those passers-by were your voice. Wow. I never should have taken that long of a break. My brain isn't in the same mindset anymore. Ok Let’s try this again… Rob Zombie will help me now. So as I was saying, your passers-by were your voice and as I saw it, they were you. I was not with you, I was with them and had to deal with them because you refused to live your life, you let others do it for you, and thus up to that point that is exactly what got you by. With that said. Where is she going now ? Well since she is back in the home city, she has been manipulated from what I thought I had created to keep the head on straight and possibly create an own person. I was wrong, they have sucked the life out of you. You are finished for life now till you finally break away and find out that these people are telling you what to do, what to think. When you were in your first yrs of college, you couldn’t bugger off to other provinces, but what a freakin’ surprise, the second you are forced back to your home city, now you are being spoon-fed bullshat! That’s right BULL-SHAT ! You have been shown that as long as you dwell under the home city, the world is yours and you have no problems or worries. “Just don’t ever leave or we will disown you and leave you for dead on the side of the street” “We don’t care what you think, because you are useless to the world, and will amount to nothing… why is that you ask? Well you aren’t allowed to ask questions, so shut the fack up and get back into your overcrowded room and sit till we tuck you in for bed.”

Wow that felt good to get out FINALLY. So you can think what you want from that, but isn’t it funny that you “lost all feelings for me as soon as you slinked back to the home city ?” yeah, that’s what I thought too. The brainwashing and hand-feeding has commenced. I guarantee with everything that is holy, that if you were in any other city but the current one, you would still not be “over me”. And why is that, because you don’t know who you are, so you rely on other people to tell you what to say and what to think. Isn’t it surprising that when you were living in the house, and had temporarily lost contact with the reliers, that you were HAPPY, you were enjoying life, you had an honest fun time. I don’t think you can deny that. There were obvious rough patches, but those were because of situations at the house, or your reliers trying to wedge back into the situation and I got frustrated when you were letting them (Calling them every single night and filling them in on daily occurances)… What are you going to do when they finally pass ? who are you going to call then ? one of your other reliers and spill to them. Where will you live ? Since they like the younger half more than you, Younger will have the house. And we all know younger won’t want you hanging around.
You know that you need to get away. I know you do. But unfortunately you will never be able to see this until you stop listening to background noises and see what YOU REALLY WANT. Not what everyone else has told you you want to hear and do.

So this was fun. I got a lot out. No clue why this all came up, but it did. Kinda for some reason just pissed me off. Damn people randomly getting on my nerves for no reason haha.

Peace all. This is a good 2000 words to read… I will try and drowned out the harassers in my head and the paranoia that now exhausts my life. I will stick to my 100% exams and 93% essays. See I can write and I know how to write. Go me!

My Journal: Boycotting The Golden Compass.
By: shreddinchef

It blows my mind that Christian groups in the United States are boycotting "The Golden Compass." If their beliefs are as strong as they believe them to be then surely they can take a little questioning.
Here is a great read from Mark Moford regarding this issue.

-----

It has become a rule, some sort of law of the popular culture upon which any open-minded human worth her soul can rely with utter and perfect clarity.

It goes like this: If there is a piece of art, a TV show, a column, a book, a movie, a blog, a movement, a wine bottle or sexual position that somehow deeply threatens the various ultraconservative sects of Christian-blasted America to the point where their pale, dour representatives demand boycotts and distribute angry pamphlets to try to stop people from experiencing said hunk of culture because of how negatively it portrays their seething, condemnatory God, well, it's time to break out the Champagne. Or buy that book. Or get very, very naked. Or all of the above.

So it is with the first movie made from Philip Pullman's astonishing "His Dark Materials" trilogy, "The Golden Compass," a complex, mystically gorgeous, spiritually dense, big-budget fantasy epic so far removed from the cute wizardry of Harry Potter and the thin, childish, monochromatic Christian morality of, say, "The Chronicles of Narnia," that it might as well be a Coen brothers movie. On acid.

Oh my God yes - they are protesting. They are pamphleting. From the Catholic League and Focus on the Family to evangelical/fundamentalist Christian blogs from here to Colorado Springs, they are calling on their trembling armies to boycott the film because they believe that Pullman's brilliant books - which, by the way, if I had the power, I would place in the eager hands of every youngish human on the planet, especially the girls - are not only aggressively anti-Christian, but that they also describe, as their grand finale, nothing less than the death of God. This is what they say.

And here is the terrific thing: They are absolutely right.

But let's be a bit more specific, shall we? Because as any fan of "HDM" knows, it ain't really about God, per se. Pullman's luminous novels have nothing to do with rejecting faith or destroying the spirit or inhibiting the exploration of what it means to be divine. They are, in fact, the exact opposite. They relish spirit and the magic of belief and love, are soaked through with divine inspiration of a kind any intelligent Christian (or honest spiritual seeker of any stripe, for that matter) should crave. This is what makes them so incredible.

The nefarious thing the books aim to kill is religious authority. It's about the destruction of dogma. It's about power, about who wants to control and manipulate life on Earth, about the blind, ignorant, even violent adherence to insidiously narrow codes of thought, belief, behavior, sex, desire and love.

This, of course, is the God of organized religion. This is the false deity that promotes numb groupthink, inhibits growth and abhors the feminine divine (perhaps the books' most beautiful, inspiring theme), the same paranoid, dreadful God that votes for George W. Bush because he will smite the icky gays and protect us from vile pagans and Buddhists and Muslims and feminists and frumpy genius atheist British writers. If humanity is to flourish, to get over its addiction to war and guilt and fear, this is the false God that should - that must - die.

Although the books have as their evil antagonist a sinister cabal called the Magisterium (obvious parallel: Catholic Church), they also have a slew of dark characters in service of the Magisterium, various assassins, double agents and robot drones running around trying to annihilate the children's spirit, destroy magic and lock down faith forever. Let us call these robotic drones, oh, say, the Catholic League. Or Focus on the Family. Gosh, no wonder they're a little peeved.

But it's almost too easy, is it not? Even a child can see that these people are so far from true spirit, so far from open consciousness, it's a bit like comparing a lint ball to a cloud bank, a dung beetle to a flower bed. They are spiritual caricatures, the creepy clowns in organized religion's gloomy circus, all scrunched brows and gnarled hands and so much repressed sexuality that it would make a porn star wince. Really, why give their silly protests any attention at all?

For one thing, because these groups have proven that they can be highly dangerous, utterly toxic to the culture as a whole. You already know the list - FCC crackdowns, stem cell research, ultraconservative judges, abstinence education, anti-choice laws, vicious homophobia, intelligent design, the rejection of science - all of which aim for the creation of a fascist theocracy in America.

In fact, director Chris Weitz, who adapted "The Golden Compass" for the screen, reportedly removed any direct mentions of God or religion from the film version, fearing, along with New Line Cinema, some sort of Christian conservative backlash. Fans were, appropriately, outraged. It remains to be seen how much of those vital themes Weitz left intact, but you could argue that the Bible-thumpers have already taken their sad toll.

(But I do look forward to the bloodcurdling screams that will surely come from these groups when they see the third film, which, if the creators hold at all true to the original book, and presuming the movie gets made at all, features a pair of wonderful, immensely powerful, tragic gay angels.)

It might not matter. With any luck, and if "The Golden Compass" turns out to be even half as wondrous as the book, it will hopefully fuel a surge in sales of the "HDM" trilogy in America and, perhaps, inspire a new literary awakening among young readers, darker and more complex and even (gasp) slightly sexual, far beyond the clever but innocuous magic of Harry Potter - which, by the way, had its share of religious bonk-jobs calling for its destruction, as wizardry is clearly the dominion of the devil. We all know what a huge drop in sales that protest caused.

But there is another note of good news from this tale of fear and whining and outcry, and it takes the form of another delightful rule upon which your soul can happily rely, as well as a heartfelt lesson for trembling ultraconservative sects everywhere.

It's this: If your ancient, authoritarian, immutable belief system is threatened by a handful of popular novels, if your ostensibly all-powerful, unyielding creed is rendered meek and defenseless when faced with the story of a fiery, rebellious young girl who effortlessly rejects your stiff misogynistic religiosity in favor of adventure, love, sex, the ability to discover and define her soul on her own terms, well, it might be time for you to roll it all up and shut it all down and crawl back home, and let the divine breathe and move and dance as she sees fit. Don't you agree?

My Blog: A blog? You gotta be sh**ting me!
By: sal37

Jezus Christ , now I have to have a blog? With no porn? How am I supposed to do THAT?

Kidding aside, Ok, here goes - I'll make this first post about me. I turned 40 and all my old friends stopped showing up. Sure they have excuses - screaming babies, 10 jobs, crack habits or they are chasing after 20 year old women.Bottom line - they aint calling in sick to hit the lift after a nice storm anymore. Like that Allman Brothers Tune "Nobody Left to Run with Anymore". Me, I just want to have some adventure before I get bored stiff. Oh another thing about turning 4o -everyone at work seems to think I'm middle aged. Well I suppose I am on the outside - but not on the inside. I am also in 30 year old shape, no kinks or gimps. I can ride any trail you can, but can't and won't jump more than a foot high. Ever. Hey a man has to know his limitations. But I am pretty fast so stay out of my way.

I figure 5-7 more years and I can retire.Not really retire - leave my present job and start my own practice with lots of time off. Or maybe be a ski bum. And I am going to totally hook my secretary up too. She is very dedicated to me and she skis so I married her. Oh, we have 3 teenage boys who snowboard. Any way my plan is to trade my day job for my own practice,minivan for a sailboat and a Triumph Bonneville. Maybe a historic brick house overlooking the harbor in Newport, RI. I am an architect, I got to build a couple of museums.Best job in the world building museums. Right now I am fixing up this monster old historic hotel.Think The money Pit on steroids. It will be a nice building if it doesn't kill me.

I can snowboard whenever I want, my job is flexi. My budget is good enough for local hills, however I won't be taking any ski trips to France. Catskills, Bershires and Vermont are good enough for now. Colorada maybe.

Peace , out.

My Blog: My Brother
By: gothchick07

Brothers
Current mood: drained

You know, my entire life I wanted to set a good example for my little brother. The only problem was, I didn't know how, and I ended up making a horrible example for him. The only good thing I ever did for him was be there when he needed me and trusted him with everything. If I had to choose a best friend, no restrictions, my brother would definitely be the one. The problem is, people mean best friend as in other than family, so I normally don't put his name down on surveys.

I always wanted him to grow up to be the best that he could be, be the person he wants to be, and I wanted to be the person who was there for him no matter what. But I effed this up when I decided to get married. I won't be there to see him bring his first girlfriend home, and I won't be around if he needs a shoulder to cry on. He can't vent his frustration about our parents to me, like I could to him, and I can't be there if some Senior decides to make him the butt of one of his/her jokes. That was the one thing that I could not stand about high school; the older one's always thought that they were better, superior, and just...well...better than us, at least in Gruver.

Daniel has to grow up with this on his own, when all I had to do was vent to him, and he listened. He was my friend, my shoulder to cry on, and my quick get away. I needed him through the toughest years of my life, and he's going to need me too. I just won't be there. It is for this reason that I, sadly, regret getting married.

I feel, usually, that you should never regret anything, because at one time, it was exactly what you wanted, but this is one circumstance where I do not live by that. I regret walking down that isle and making myself happy, before I made anyone else happy. I was thinking only of myself, and that is not right. He deserves better than that. He deserves exactly what he gave to me, but all I can give is a phone call, and that just doesn't seem the same. I know that one day, he will fall head-over-heels, so to speak, for a young seemingly beautiful girl and he will feel like his life is over when she leaves him, or when he decides that things just aren't working out like he thought they would. It is this period in his life that he will need a physical shoulder to cry on, and being rejected this, he will be shoved into depression, just as was I.

This fills me with great fear, because I know that he is labeled emo. This worsens my fears, knowing that I too was labeled as such, and I also did what it was that most emos are recognized for. My scars will never heal, and my heart will never mend from them. This is what my fears are based upon. I do not wish for my inocent younger brother to end up like I did. I want only the best for him. I also hope that those of you who read this try to give me some ideas of what I could do. Even with the gas prices, my only thought is to take the car and high-tail it to Perryton when he needs me. He is just like me in the respect that, as a teen, he wants nothing to do with my parents when it comes to infatuation. He needs someone whom he knows he can trust, someone whom he was there for, someone, like an older sister. I know he hides his feelings, as did I, and this is also psycologically unhealthy...I only wish that I was there for him to talk to daily.

That was our thing...everyday after school...we would tell each other of our days, and then of the hurt, the boredom of a teacher's lesson, and the happiness. This was always the highlight of my day. If it weren't for my brother, I might not be here writing this blog. Instead, I might be at the foot of a block of cold, hard stone, with the date of my death inscribed upon it.

I only pray that this does not happen to my brother. Perhaps, instead of being a negative influence, I was a positive influence, in that I showed him what NOT to do.

My Blog: death
By: an_emos_flame_wont_die

What kinda girl

I wont an extra ordinary one of a kind. A girl that can riley blow my mind. I wona girl that can sit back an chill. Tomuch makeup is not her stile and when it comes to party’s she gets buck wild. I wona girl that will put me back in my place. I wont someone that will roll wit me. Someone dat will go to the end with me. Someone that will let me hold her and be her solger.
If chou out ther make yoself known

LOVE

LOVE IS NEVER TRUE, LOVE IS NEVER AROUND U! LOVE IS NEVER FIGHTING,LOVE IS NEVER CHEATING.LOVE IS NEVER FORGIVEN , LOVE IS NEVER TAKEN.!LOVE MEANS NEVER HAVEING TO SAY U ARE SORRY!..........Love is an interesting thing. It shows up when you least expect it or don't feel like you have time in your life for it, yet it's completely scarce when you are lonely, desperate and looking for it. We spend so much of our lives craving love and wanting to find that special someone but when we have them we spend most of that time trying to fix them or change them for the better. We always want more. And even if you tell yourself a thousand times to be in the moment and try not to think so much you still end up pushing them away from you. Love sucks. Yet we all want it. And if love is hell, which I'm sure it is...I'm sure we'd all want to go there when we die. Including me.

I just wona cry an every time

I try. I wona die. I think of

diein an I'm cryin.

I just wona cry an I

wona die.

This was riten by my brother K.O. Ho is now

dead an yes that was rill name. He left behinde 3 kids. 2 girls an one boy. an also a wife and 4 brothers. he was 23 years old his wife is 22. It hapend 9 monthes ago when we wher handling a situaton in the streets of south Ogden. The guy that shot him 13 times is dead.

My brothers last wish was don't let the memory of him die. So as we know that he went to a beter place his memory won't die cas this will remind people of him an he will always be in are heart's.

I'm glad to see you

I remember like it was yesterday. The very day I met Chou.I was looking fly. You where acting shy. So when you walked on by I engorged you.Good thing you turned around an asked my name. Then the next thing my audited changed.I swept me off my feet you where so sweet. Gave you my number. The next day you called asking if you could see me. So I sead all right. I’m glad to see you but I keep my cool. From day one I fell in love wit chou.

You don't love me

You say you love me but then you lie to me and cheat on me.

I see you flurt with other guys.

you say you don't.

Then you say your famly doesn't like me so we can break-up.

Then you say you didin't mean to make me sad but you did.

you say your sorry and you will never do it agin.

Then you say I love you and expect everything to be alright.

I say I love you to baby and try to beleve that you love me but I know you

will just cheat on and lie to me agin.

青空 Blue sky.

Hi, it’s Taro.Today we were able to shoot under blue sky.The members were Aki, Jun, Kosuke and me.We made a kicker in the morning.

フィルマーのタローです。今日は久しぶりに青空で撮影が出来ました。メンバーは、ライダーのアキ、ジュン、コースケに　＋オレの４人。朝一からキッカー作りました。

ジュンが撮ったコースケのメソットエアーのシークエンス

Jun shot Kosuke’s method air sequence!

各ライダーとも苦戦してたんですが、アキがビタメイクで高回転を決めたのは凄くカッコ良かったです。明日も天気は良いはずなんで、撮影がんばりまーす。

All the riders were having a hard time but Aki made a high spin and nice landing. He was so good.Tomorrow will also be sunny, so we’ll go shooting as well!Maybe it’s a glacier?.

多分氷河です。

ハートハウスにて

At the heart house.

ヒロミです！！！！ハートハウスでは、毎日いろんな出来事がおきます！！最近部屋の中にアリが大量発生してるんですけど、こーちゃんとしょうたがとうとうアリをつかまえて、ペットにし始めました！！！二人ともお互い自分のアリ（けっこうすごい数がいます）をみせあったりして、とても気持ち悪いです。もちろんエサもあたえてます。そんなある日、しょうたのアリが脱走しました！！！お酒の瓶で飼ってたやつで、しょうたがふたをしなかったために、朝には１匹残らず、いなくなってました。飼い主に似たみたいです。そんなヤンキーヘアーのしょうたが、イメチェンをしました！！！！！テーマは・・・“ヘルメット”　　！！！！！たろーさんがネットでヘルメットを検索。その画像をみながら、ジュン君がしょうたの髪をきり、残りのみんなが見守る。

It’s Hiromi!!!!

At the heart house, there are many fun incidents happenning everyday.

Recently, many ants have been seen in the house, and finally, Kosuke and Shota decided to catch them and keep them as their pets!!!

They of cause feed them and show their ants to each other (thousands of ants), and it is so gross.One day, Shota’s ants escaped!!!

By morning, all of Shota’s ants were gone from the liquor bottle because he didn’t close the lid.The escaped ants were a lot like their owner.

すばらしいチームプレーで、すばらしいヘアーが誕生しました！！！きっと今のしょうたのヘアーなら、ブラッコムのブラックパーク（ヘルメットをしないと入れないパーク）も余裕で入れてしまうだろう！！！！！

Finally, Shota changed his hair!!!The theme of his his hair style is “Helmet”!!!Taro searched “Helmet” on the internet and he cut Shota’s hair to model ahelmet’s image. All of us had a good time watching the transformation.

Before

After

Our great team can create a great hair style!!!Now Shota can go into the black park without wearing a helmet!!!(Black Park is on Blackcomb Mt. and you must wear a helmet to ride the park.)

ジビングDAY！Jibing day!

どもっす！フィルマーのケイジです。今日は天気が悪かったけど、何日かぶりにモービルで撮影行ってきました〜！メンバーは忠、コニ、ショータと自分の4人。

撮影ポイントは少しモービルで走ったところにある小さなダム。先がクニャッと曲がった金属のパイプを飛び越えて当て込み、小川を飛び越えたり、レッジを擦ったり。みんなこんなの出来るかな〜？なんて考えながらいろいろと遊んできました。[:チョキ:]帰り道、もうすぐ家というところで何故か大渋滞。　[:車（ＲＶ）:] [:自動車:] [:路線バス:]30分ちょっと待ってやっと動き出して現場を見てみると、何と大きな木を運ぶトレーラがひっくり返って大変な事になってるじゃあ〜りませんか…こんなのに巻き込まれたくないッス…[:ひやひや:]

Hi, it’s Keiji-the filmer.

Despite the bad weather, we went shooting with our sleds for the first time in a few days.

The members were Tadashi, Koni, Shota, and me.

We took our sled to a spot which is a small dam, thinking of No one else will think to do this...

Jump over a bent metal pipe, jump over a brook and slide a ledge...etc

On the way back, with our house just around the corner, we got into a traffic jam.

After waiting 30minutes we could see what had happened.

A huge logging truck had lost his load and was upside down!!

I don’t ever want to get into this kind of trouble...wow.

JUST SOME VIDEO WE FOUND ON YOU TUBE....

04/25/07

左膝前十字靭帯損傷 Torn ACL of the left knee.

うぇ〜い[:猫2:]3月4日、ホームマウンテンの苗場浅貝ゲレンデのパークでノリノリで滑っていてキッカーで飛び過ぎてフラットランディングを試みたがランディングと同時に膝がバキっ[:どんっ:]１発K.O[:びっくり:]で、28日に入院して翌日に手術しました[:病院:]これからリハビリで〜す[:ジョギング:]

Hellooo. This is MAGUN...I was riding the park at Naeba Asagai which is my home mountain, on Mar.4th. When I hit a kicker I was kinda too stoked and I flew too high that I couldn’t make the landing and went so flat! Then, CRACK!! I was knocked out...I went into the hospital and I had a surgery the next day.Now I starting rehab!

04/24/07

04/20/07

毎度ー！

フィルマーのタローです。ショータ、ジュン、コウスケででっかい裏山に行って来ました。

Hello! It’s Taro the filmer.Shota, Jun, Kosuke and I went to the back country.

本日は快晴、久しぶりです。雪の状態のいい所を探してラインを刻んできました。

Today, we had a very clear day in a long while.We looked for some nice-conditioned lines and rode them.

やっぱ青空での撮影は最高でした！！

It was great that we could shoot under such a nice sky!!

これは、スノーモービルのオイルを買いに行ったついでに見にいった滝です。マイナスイオンなんて言ってたのに、蚊が大量発生してたので、速攻逃げてきました。

We went to see this waterfall while we were in Squamish to buy oil for our sleds. We heard that we could get some negative ions in places like waterfalls, but there were a swarm of mosquitoes and we left there right away.

折れた木なんですが、何と言う生命力！

It’s a broken tree but surprisingly strong!

04/19/07

がっちりとどもども〜！昨日今日と撮影かなりがんばってきました！ブログ更新できなくてゴメンなさい。m(__;)m昨日のメンバーは、忠、コニ、アキ、フォトグラファーマルさん、フィルマーのケイジの５人。天気がばっちりと当たったのでがっちり撮影してきました！久しぶりに晴れたのでみんなもやる気充分！次から次へとポイントへ移動しまくっていい写真、映像がとれて良かったです。(^^)アキ君の特大フロントフリップにはみんなテンション上がりまくりでした。朝６時半に出て、家に戻ってきたのは夜8時すぎ。。。かなりタフな一日だったな〜。(^^;)

Hi there! We went shooting yesterday and today!

Sorry that we couldn’t update our blog.The members for yesterday’s session were Tadashi, Koni, Aki, Dice and Keiji.

It was such nice weather so we had a great session. We didn’t have such nice skies for a long time so we were stoked!

We kept moving from spot to spot and took many photos and videos. Aki’s huge front flip stoked us out!

Despite the fact we left the house at 6:30am, we got home a little past 8pm.It was a very tough shooting day.

モービルに弁当箱をセット！かなり調子いいようです。(^^)

Setting a lunch box in our sled to warm it up. It looks good.

タダシはバックフリップ、アキはフロントフリップをメイク！　　ライン系で遊びまくったポイント。影が人の顔みたいですな。

Tadashi made a back flip. Aki made a front flip.These were some lines that looked like a human face.

04/17/07

４月１６日マッサージだべ〜〜〜！ MASSAGE TIME!

今日は、天気が悪くてお休みです。んで、マッサージですよ〜。。コレが気持ちいいんだわ（笑）オレらいっつもやられてるから。ビシバシってね？なにげに体はボロボロなんですよ。元気なふりしてるけど（笑）でもね〜！頑張って４回転のバックフリップを決めるまで？？？？？？（アキ君だよ）こんな事やってるから体ボロボロになるんだよね〜！よーしヨガってやる！ストレッチは大事だよみんな〜。

It’s bad weather and we were off today.So! We massaged each other and it felt really great! (don’t take me wrong!)

We always overuse our body so even if the outside looks good, our inside of our body is screaming!

But, you know, we don’t give up until we land the trick like when Aki spun a 4 time back flip... that’s why our body is crying so hard!

Ooookeeey, I’ll do some Yoga stretching.Stretching is really important, guys.How about this pose?

こんなポーズはどうかな〜？

04/17/07

深っ！ It’s deep!

どもっす！昨日は忠、コニ、アキ、ケイジで撮影！天気は思ったよりも良くなくて、晴れたり曇ったりだったけど、いろいろやってきました！雪が思ったより良くて場所によってはかなり深かった〜でっかいウィンドリップで遊んだり、でっかいシュートを滑ってみたり。最後は岩越えのジャンプでセッションしてました。コニはBs1をスムースにメイク [:チョキ:]何とアキ君はキャブ9をトライ。着地した後につぶされてしまったけどスゴかったな〜みんな盛り上がってました。(^^)

Hello, yesterday we (Tadashi, Koni, Aki, Keiji) went shooting.

The weather was not as good as I expected and some clouds appeared throughout the day. But we got some nice shots!At some points, the snow was good and deep.

We hit some wind lips, rode a big chute and had a session at a rock-over jump. Koni made a back side one smoothly.

Aki tried a cab 9.

He exploded when he landed but it was so cool.Everybody had a good time.

忠が滑ったやばいシュート。抜けた後のチョッカリは自己新記録のスピードだったみたい。(^^;)

This is the chute that Tadashi rode. He made a new speed record for sure!

We found a huge log!

帰り道にでっかいログを発見！

We play by throwing stones at a rock for two pitchers of beer!

その後は4人でビールのピッチャー2杯を賭けて下にある岩に石投げ勝負！コニタンごちそうさまです。[:ビール:]

Koni, Thank you for the beer!

04/14/07

冬が来たぁぁ〜 Winter again!

どもです！ウィスラーに冬がまた来ました〜！最近暖かくて春みたいだったけど、今日雪が降ったお陰でいい感じ！明日はパウパウです！多分！

The winter come again to Whistler!

We had some warm days lately but today was snowing.

Maybe it’ll be powder snow tomorrow!

夜はウィスラーで行われているTELUS WORLD フェスティバルのBIG AIRの公開練習行ってきました！BIG AIRにはショータ。HPにはタカ。スロープにはナターシャがエントリー。今日の公開練習は雪が降ったせいでスピードが足らずにほとんどが角落ち。。。でも明日の本戦は整備も入ってきっといい感じになるでしょう！楽しみだな〜！

At night, we went to the public practice session for the BIG AIR for the TELUS WORLD FESTIVAL!

Shota entered the BIG AIR contest, Taka did the half pipe and Natazsa did the Stompede.

Because of the new snow, most of the riders couldn’t get enough speed and they couldn’t make their landings.

But upon tomorrow’s real contest, the landing should be maintained and the riders will show us some great tricks!

I’m so excited!

04/13/07

休憩 Break time.

どうもー！！フィルマーのタローです。一昨日バンクーバーの近くのシーモアと言うスキー場に行った帰りのにあまりにも奇麗だったので休憩がてら、光の柱とショータを撮ってみました。

Hi, this is Taro the filmer.When we were on our way from the ski resort in Vancouver the day before yesterday, it was so beautiful that I could’t help taking pictures.

It’s a pillar of light and Shota.

04/13/07

今日から From today...

どーも鎌潤です今日からカナダのみんなと合流です楽しみながら頑張るぞー毎度ですコウスケです雪がいっぱいあってびっくりしてます楽しみながらてんぱるぞ〜

Hi! This is Kama-Jun!

From today, I’ll start snowboarding with the Heart riders in Whistler.

I’ll enjoy myself and try hard!

Hello, It’s Kosuke.I’m surprised that there is so much snow.

I’ll enjoy myself too and step it up!

04/12/07

あれ、雪いいでー。Hmm...good snow...

コニシでスー。今日は雪質なんか期待してなかったのに上がってみると、あららパウダーじゃないですか。ヤッホーー。今日のメンツは忠、タカ、コニシ、ケイジ。ジャンプしたり、フリーライディングしたり。ローングパウダーラン。ヘリツアーで滑るような斜面を２回も滑ったよ。気持ちイガッター。イギナリ。（仙台弁？）んでもって今日、潤君とコウスケがウィスラーにやって来ました。heart houseは狭くなったけど、ワイワイして楽しい感じになってます。鈴木兄弟とタロさんがメンチカツを作ってます。もう夜の11時になろうっていうのに。。てな感じでガンガン楽しんで行きマース。

It’s Konishi!

I wasn’t expected any good snow today but once I went up to the mountain, hooray!

There was powder snow!Today, I went up with Tadashi, Taka and Keiji.

We hit some jumps and we went free riding on a loooong powder run! We found really nice lines like when we go heli-boarding.

I felt so nice!Also, today, Jun and Kosuke came to Whistler so the Heart house became busy and our living space became smaller.

But it would be more lively and fun.

The Suzuki brothers and Taro are making some meat cut-let.

It’s already 11pm...We are sure that we’ll have so much fun here.

バンクーバーのローカルスキー場 Ski resort in Vancouver!

どうも！どうも！今日、みんなでバンクバーのスキー場に行ってきたんだ〜。なんで行ったかとい言うと。ワイルドキャッツのイベントがあるって聞いて行ったんだけど！！それが行ったら、誰もいなくてさ〜？とりあえずボックスがあったからそれで遊んでたらデバンとJFとカール（IS DESIGNのマネージャー）がやっと着たと思ったら。GTの（そり）コースのレーアウトを3人で話し合いに着てただけでさ〜。だから、オレらは、ハイクをしながら昔を思い出すねっとか言いながら（昔はボロボロのハーフパイプで練習したんですよ）楽しんじゃいました。んで、オレが撮ったベストショットがタクミのワンフットマック！コレいいでしょ！

Hello, Hello!

We went to a ski resort in Vancouver today because we thought that the Wild Cat’s event will be held there.

But! No one was there!!We were riding a box and finally Devan and JF and Karl (manager of IS DESIGN) showed up.

But they came up for a meeting to discuss the layout of the GT sled’s race...So... we just rode half pipe for some fun.

Hiking up the pipe brought back memories of some years ago...

We used to practice with a crappy half pipe... Sweet memories. (?!)

This is Takumi’s one foot mctwist! Isn’t he awesome?

どうも！フィルマーのタローです。今日は雨なので適当に写真のせました。

Hey yo!It’s Taro the filmer.

Today was raining so I am posting some random photos for you to enjoy.

ウィスラーでの昼食風景 Lunch at Whistler mountain.

オレ、ショータで初めて作ったカツ丼。まぁまぁうまかったです！

Taro and me made “Katsu-don” (pork-cutlet rice bowl) for the first time.

It was not too bad.

家に遊びに来るきれいな鳥。何て鳥でしょう？

Some beautiful blue jays come to see us.

タクミとショータが変な動物がいたと言ったので引き返して見たら、ラマでした。

Takumi and Shota told me that they saw a weird animal, and it was a llama.

Yesterday, all of us took a day off and had our own holiday...relaxing, skate boarding, using our Macs etc...At night, we went to Sushi-Ya in Whistler village!

It was soooooooo delicious!

春デス。あったかいなぁぁ〜今朝は山の上でも４℃。ウィスラーは完全春モードです。今日はモービルでヒップのようなジャンプを作って撮影してきました。メンバーは忠、コニ、タカ、フォトグラファーのジョン、自分（ケイジ）の5人。タカは初めてのモービルでかなりやられてましたね。グラブできないかもって言ってました。（笑）天気がいまいちで、晴れ間を待ったりしながらのジャンプ。この晴れ待ちが結構ツラいんですよ。。。ランディングが悪くかなりむずかしいコンディションだったけど、みんな映像を残そうと何度もトライ！いくつかいいカットが残せたのでよかったです。(^^)

2007.04.08 Sunday

Spring timeIt's warm...

It’s 4 degrees even on the mountain today.

Spring has come to Whistler.We shot some hip jumps today.

The members were Tadashi, Koni, Taka, John-photographer and me-Keiji.

Taka rode his sled for the first time and he looked really tired as he said “Maybe I can’t even make a grab...”

The weather was not so good and we had to wait around for the sun to take a shot.Waiting for the sun is more tiring than you can imagine...

Also the landing was bad and it was a difficult condition but the riders tried again and again!

So we could take some good shots.

ランチのあとはポイントを移動してウッドレールをやってきました。コニとジョンは川に落ちました。[:たらーっ:]

After having lunch, we moved to another place and hit a wood rail.Koni and John fell into the river.

ウォールライド〜どもで〜す！フィルマーのケイジです。ナターシャが狙っていたウォールライドの撮影してきました！コニも合流し、いつもと違ったライダーの組み合わせだったのでおもしろかったな〜2人とも『こんなの初めてだからどうやったらいいか想像つかないな〜』なんて言いながらも、ナターシャはFsの壁でいい高さで当て込み、コニはBsの壁でfs3をメイク。アーリーウープみたいな感じでかなりカッコ良かったです [:イケテル:]

Wall Ride!

This is Keiji!

We went shooting at a wall ride which Natazsa has been itching to hit.

Koni came with us and we had so much fun because the combination of riders were different than the usual suspects.

Natazsa hit the front side wall with great height and Koni made a front side 3 at the back side wall even though they said “I’ve never done this and I don’t know how to ride!”.

It looked like an alley oop and it was so cool.

きれいな空だったな〜。これでも夜７時くらい。カナダの春はもっと日が長くなってきます。

Beautiful sky! It was about 7pm. The days will be getting longer and longer in the springtime in Canada.

04/06/07

ウィスラーにも春が来た。コニシです。拓巳、タダシ、フィルマーのケイジ、そして久々登場の石原君、とワイの５人でウィスラーのパークを滑りました。今シーズンはホンマにパークを全然滑ってなかったのでここぞとばかりに滑りまくりました。あったかくなって板の走りは悪いけど、ステップアップのキッカーとかステップダウンとか他では見た事無いアイテムがいっぱいあって楽しいパークでした。石原君がレールをしてるのを初めて見ました。なかなかやるじゃないか。拓巳がフロントフリップをやりました。なかなか良かったです。忠がめずらしくやられました。痛そうでした。ワイはb720が何度やってもメイク出来ませんでした。他にもいっぱい出来なかった技がありました。まあそんなもんです。

2007.04.06 Friday

Spring has come to Whistler!

It’s Konishi.Takumi, Tadashi, Keiji, Ishihara-kun(He appeared for the first time in a long time) and me went snowboarding at the Whistler park.

I haven’t been snowboarding at this park so I was excited to take this opportunity and just go riding.

It was getting warmer and the board was sliding bad, but there were some rare items like a stepping-up kicker or a stepping-down so I enjoyed the park.

I saw Ishihara-kun riding rails for the first time. He was good.

Takumi did a front flip, he was good too.

Tadashi fell. It was unlike him and it looked painful.

I tried a back side 720 so many times but I couldn’t land it. I also couldn’t land some other tricks.

That’s the way sometimes!

road trip

フィルマーのタローです。今回は、タダシ　アキ　ジョン(カメラ)　オレでカナダとアラスカの国境付近にある stewart に3泊4日で往復34時間ドライブして行って来ました。その時の写真です。

2007.04.05 Thursday

ROAD TRIP

This is Taro the filmer.Tadashi, Aki, John and me went on a road trip to Stewart.

It is in BC near the border of Alaska. We went for 4 days and 3 nights.

It took 34 hours by truck to get there and back.

The following photos were taken during the trip.

まずは、今回のオレ以外のメンバー。

First of all, these are the members for the trip. (John , Aki, Taro and Tadashi)

ガソリンスタンド。朝3時30分位に出てこれが3回目でした。

We left Whistler at 3:30am and this was the third gas station we had filled up at.

ドライブが長過ぎて、どれを載せればいいのか悩んだんですがstewart付近は車からはこんな感じでした。

We drove way too long and I didn’t know which photos should be shown here...

Near Stewart, these were the scenery from the car.

で氷河も見えました。

The famous Stewart Glacier.

帰りもまた17時間ドライブ。17 hour drive to get home...

帰りもまた4.5回は行ったガソリンスタンド。窓も洗ってもらいます。

We stopped 4 or 5 times for gas. A staff washing windows for us.

凄く長い真っ直ぐな道路撮ったんですが、さっき洗ってもらった窓が汚かったので横線が出来てしまいました。

Very long and straight road.

こんな感じでいろいろ撮って来たので、映像をお楽しみに！！

We got various shots in Stewart, please check it out our next DVD.

あと、ほとんどを運転してくれたタダシとアキ、それにカメラマンで来てくれたジョン本当にお疲れさまでした。

In closing, I’d like to thank Tadashi and Aki for driving most of the way, and thank you John for coming with us as a cameraman on such short notice!We appreciate it!!!

go for it !!

お久しぶりです！！博美です！！！この前、福島のショップのシュレダーの恒例イベント“go for it”に行って来ました！！！今年はナイトセッションで、ボックス、ドラム缶、ウォールがあって大雨の中楽しみました！！！マイキーとベネディックも来てました！！二人ともかっこ良かったです！！夜のパーティーでは去年のパラパラに続き、今年もやってしまいました！！ゲストで、レゲエダンサー（Tバックをはいた刺激的な女性の３人組）が踊る前に博美が（でかいTシャツ、スエットパンツ）でレゲエダンスを踊ってしまいました。ダンサーの皆さん本当にすいませんでした。写真は盛り上がりすぎて、撮ってないです。すいません。

2007.04.05 Thursday

go for it !!

Long time no see!! It’s Hiromi!!

I went to the event called “go for it” which is an annual event for a snowboard shop in Fukushima!!This year, the event was held at night and it was raining but we had fun with a box, a drum and a wall.

Mikey and Benedek were there too!

They were so cool!!

At the night party I did IT again, same as last year...A girls dance trio(who were wearing sexy T-back panties) were going to reggae dance, but before their show, I(wearing big T-shirt and sweat pants) danced reggae.

I’m really sorry.I was too excited to take any photos. Sorry!

ぴーかん！今日はがっちり晴れました〜♪ということで朝一からモービルへGO！メンバーはショータと昨日合流したコニと自分（ケイジ）。タクミは首が痛いみたいで残念ながら今日はお休み。

2007.04.04 Wednesday

Clear sky!

It was super sunny today♪So we headed out with our sleds early in the morning!

The members were Shota, Koni and me-Keiji.

Takumi took the day off for his neck was a bit sore.

モービルを降ろせるところまで少し砂利道。　　　　　　　　　テキパキと準備するコニ&ショータ。

Dirt road until we could unload the sleds.Koni and Shota preparing their sleds without wasting any time.

まずはポイントまでのツラいバンプ（モービルが走ると雪道が削られてウェーブ状になっている事。）を走り抜けます。ショータと自分はここに連日来てたので少し慣れてるけど、コニは久しぶりのモービルだったのでかなり体力を奪われてました。[:たらーっ:]

We had to go through some hard bumps to get to the spot.

Shota and I had been there before and we had already gotten used to the bumps, but Koni was having a hard time because it was his first time out on his sled in a long time.

昨日さんざん天気待ちしたけどやれなかったポイントへ到着。今日の天気は問題なし。やっと撮影できて嬉しかったな〜！

We arrived to the spot where we couldn’t take any shots the other day.

The weather today was excellent! Finally we could shoot there.

ジャンプの全景。穴に落ちたら大変…　　　　　　　　　　　　晴れて嬉しいみんな。(^^)

This is the jump. If you fall into a hole...brrr. Happy faces.(^^)

次のポイントへ移動！後はすごい雪煙。　　　　ノリノリのショータ。

Moving to the next spot. Snow smoke after we passed through. Shota was cooking.

さて私は誰でしょう？？　（笑）Who am I?

その後は昨日最後にキッカーを作り置きしていたポイントへ。少し手直ししていい感じ！すぐにジャンプセッションスタート♪

We went to the kicker which we made yesterday and we fixed it a little.The jump session started quickly.

昨日作り置きしたキッカーはこんな感じ。　　　　　　　　　左からコニ、フミ、ショータ。

This is the kicker. From left, Koni, Fumi and Shota.

We found an ice cave. It was really beautiful. Say Cheese!

Shota and Koni were so aggressive. It was good day for them.

04/03/07

さむかったぁ〜〜どもっす！ケイジです。今日はショータと2人で撮影行ってきましたよ〜朝から冷え込みが激しく山頂では何とマイナス15度。。。こんなに寒いのは久しぶりだったんで2人とも結構ヤラれてました。[:ムニョムニョ:]午前中は気持ちよく晴れていてキッカーでジャンプできたんですが、午後狙っていたポイントに到着した頃からくら〜い雲がもくもくと出現。。。『大丈夫！もうすぐ晴れるでしょ！』『少し明るくなってきたんじゃない？？』な〜んて希望を捨てずに待つ事１時間半。。。結局明るくはならず撮影できませんでした…。かなりくやしいッス。思わせぶりな太陽に2人とも翻弄されまくり…やっぱり晴れ待ちはキツいですね。。

2007.04.03 Tuesday

Coooold day.Hey, it’s Keiji.

I went shooting with Shota today. Since morning it was so chilly and on the top of the mountain the temperature was minus 15 degrees.

It had been a while for us to feel this damn cold in a long time so we got tired super fast.We spent the entire morning hitting some jumps but in the afternoon it started getting dark and clouds rolled in as soon as we got to our new spot.

We were like, “It’ll be fine!” “Yeah it’s going to get better!”and waited for sunshine for one and half hours.

In the end, we couldn’t get any shots because of the weather so we were frustrated!

We had been teased by the Sun...I don’t like having to wait for the sun.

そのまま何もしないのは、かなりしゃくだったので別なところにキッカーを作って帰ることにしました。。。今日からコニも合流したので気を取り直し、明日はコニ&タクミ&ショータと自分の4人で行ってきま〜す！

We felt like we couldn't go home empty handed so we made a kicker at another place. Koni came back from Japan so hopefully he will help change the mood tomorrow and we will go shoot something different tomorrow.

04/02/07

少しだけど…

どもども！フィルマーのケイジです。久しぶりにウィスラーに雪降りましたよ〜山の上には少しはつもったんじゃないかな？多分…！（希望）明日も早起きしてタクミ&ショータと撮影してこようと思います。ショートトリップに出た忠達は無事についたのかな〜？なかなかのロングドライブですよね…スケジュール的にも大変だと思うけど、きっといろいろと新しい事をやってくるに違いない！残った僕らもがんばっていきまっす！やるなら今しかね〜♪P.S.　もうすぐ一時帰国していたコニタンが合流！　怪我をしていたナターシャも元気に滑り始めてますよ〜。v(^^)

2007.04.02 Monday

A little bit of...

Hello, it’s Keiji the filmer.We had some snow fall in Whistler after a long time of now new snow.I hope that on the mountain there may be new snow accumilation. (I wish)

I’ll wake up early and go shooting with Takumi&Shota.

I wonder if Tadashi’s crew got to Srewart all right.It’s kind of long drive...

Hopefully they will get to shoot some new and fun things despite their super tight schedule!

The rest of us will do our best or more!

The time is now!

PS. Koni, who was in Japan will come back today. Natasza recovered from her injury and she is now snowboarding... (^^)

04/01/07

What's up !

みなさ〜ん。What's up みんな元気してる。今日は、カナディアンのカメラマンを連れて撮影してたんだ。ヤバイよ、オレ英語うまくなるかも。だはぁ〜なるわけね〜か！！！んでも今日、単語覚えたんだよ（？？？）明日は、ショートトリップに行くんだ〜。ウィスラーから１５時間ぐらいのとこにね。なかなか辛そうだよ。でも！ヤルしかね〜。人生一回（笑）こんな感じですよ〜みんな〜頑張りつつ楽しんでね〜。

2007.04.01 Sunday

What's up everybody? What's up what’s up?

We went shooting with a Canadian cameraman today.

Oops, maybe I can be a good English speaker.Nahhhhh, it’s not going to happen!!!

But I studied some English words!

We are going to go on a short road trip tomorrow.

Its a 15 hour drive from Whistler. Sounds like it may be hard. But! I just have to do it. Life is only one-time. (^^)

Everybody should keep trying and having fun!See ya!

ほんじゃ！

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

03/16/07

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.

03/15/07

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.

03/14/07

東北ツアーはい[:パー:]みんなー元気ですかー俺も元気でーすって　俺だれかってそー私　鎌潤でーす。みんなカナダで滑ってるのをブログで見てますよー楽しそうですねーいいですねーやばいですねー[:イケテル:]。話は変わるけど今東北も寒波が入り凄い雪が降ってきたよーかなりいい感じになりつつあるから明日から岩手　青森　秋田　北海道方面に行ってみようかと思う　とりあえず雪のいいとこねらいでいいのがあったらこんな顔[:楽しい:]やばいのがあったらこんな顔[:びっくり:]しながら楽しんで行って来るよー　また東北ツアーアップしまーす

HELLO, This is SHOTA!

はじめて書き込みました！おとといウィスラーに着きました！

昨日はバックカントリーにタダシくん、アキくん、コニタン、バートンのカメラマンのジェフ　カーティス、ハートのフィルマーの太郎兄貴、刑事くんと行きました！

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!

03/09/07

うぃっすら〜 WHISTLER!!! 雪だ〜！なかなか寒いです。[:ゆき:]今日は山へは上がらずに映像とかまとめてたりしてましたが、明日はちょっと滑ってこようと思ってます。

Snoooooow! It’s cold in Whistler.I didn’t go to the mountain today because I was editing parts of the film.Tomorrow, I will go snowboarding.

昨日から新作ビデオを編集するノブ君とも合流し、明日はアキ君、コニ、ショータ、フィルマーのタローさんがカナダ入りです。またにぎやかになりそう！楽しみだ〜

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.

夕暮れ時に通ったバンクーバーにあるスタンレーパーク。Stanley park in Vancouver. 今日は暖かいみたいだったけど、まだまだ雪はあるっすよ〜！楽しみ楽しみ〜〜[:イヒヒ:]

Today was warm but there is still so much snow. I’m excited!

I hadn't gone snowboarding in such a long time… There was a snow storm.In the morning, I checked my fortune on a TV program and mine was the worst.I should've listened to the TV because it sure wasn’t my day:( Bear no relation to this topic, I will change my cell phone tomorrow!I hope something good is going to happen tomorrow. My blog is like this and I’m going to upload some fun info and photos from now on.I’ll keep you posted!

どもども！フィルマーのケイジです今日は新しい機材を求めて、秋葉原のマニアックなビルを探索してきました〜　[:見る:]か〜な〜り、アヤしいお店がいっぱいでしたよ。中野ブロードウェイ（知ってるかな？）をさらにマニアックにした感じで、アブなそうな人達でいっぱいだったな。。。（苦笑）

2007.03.05 Mondaymoon park 03

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^;)

そんな話はおいといて、先日のmoon park sessionの追加リポート〜　[:カメラ:]

Besides AKIHABARA, here is another report from the Moon Park Session.

このセッションは始めに設置してあったヒップを作りなおして始まりました！アイテムの形はスケートパークにあるスパインみたいな感じで、正面クォーターが2個くっついたようなイメージです。（説明ヘタでスイマセン。。。）

We remade the hip and started a session.The shape of the item was like spine at a skate park.It’s like two quarter pipes stacked.Can you imagine? Sorry for the poor explanation…

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.

きれいな夕焼けの中、みんなこのセクションで熱くなってました。(^^) ビデオ、雑誌ともにmoon park特集お楽しみに〜！

Against the beautiful sunset, they were excited. (^^)Please check out the Moon Park feature in the magazine and in the video!

03/05/07

Live Show!! Helloooooo! This is Tadashiiiiii.I went to the Laughin' Nose’s live show! It was so cool! I’m telling you!The members were me, Aki, Taro, Aniki, Ishida, Dai.Aki was so excited!If Zizo was there, I can imagine that he would have been super crazy too!!Anyway, it was really fun.I’m very happy that I could see such a cool live show before I went back to Canada.

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。

We just finished our 3 day shoot at “The Moon Park Session” with no problems.

今回の"moon park sesion " は、布施忠のパークのイメージとそれを形にしたbrave project、滑るheart films のライダーと撮るheart filmer,Transworld Japan＆zizo,そしてTransworld Us＆Dice-K などでの協力でかなーり素晴らしいセッションになりました。　集まったみなさんお疲れでした！！そして、DVD＆写真　乞うご期待！！！

The Moon Park Session was incredible! Tadashi Fuse’s vision for a fun park was built and created by “brave projects."All the “heart films” riders rode great and the filmers captured some sick shots for the DVD, HEART FILMS vol. 2!Transworld US cameraman Dice-K Maru and TWS Japan photographer, ZIZO, were there shooting the nonsense.Special thanks to everybody who came to the park!!The DVD and the photos will exceed your expectations!Don’t miss it!

Snowboard News: CHILD SUPPORT Filming Update May 22nd, 2007
By: nomisdesign

CHILD SUPPORT" filming update May 22nd 2007  Last week we spent in the bush at camp Child Support. We filmed in the bush all week and people started to go a bit nuts but we got some good stuff of Risto, Sexton, Cartwright and Fredu.

Fredu and Risto then headed back to Finland for a well deserved fishing break. Simon and his brothers went back to Ontario to help dad put a new roof on the house and do some fishing too. Andre caught a fish that looks just like him. Poor Andre always catches the smallest fish.

Sollars and Wimbles are still going for it and Sexton has been getting into shooting photos as well. Sexton recently saw Shrek and turned himself into Shrexton.

Here is the wedge that took a few days to build and Simon is flexing beside it. Half of us are editing and the other half of us are still filming.

Ilari has been tanning and is looking for the woman of his dreams.. and California entrepreneur Chris Edmands is starting his own snowboard sock company called Wack Socks Inc. You can find prototypes of Wack Socks outside of Edmands’ truck every morning.
