By: roninsnowboards.com


Quiksilver King Of S.N.O.W

Welcome to the first global online Game of S.N.O.W – the Quiksilver King of S.N.O.W. Hampus Mosesson is submitting the first trick and you are pleased to copy it! Switch BS 180° Indy is the trick of the hour which you should copy on every similar kicker on mother earth and with as much style and power as possible. Don´t forget to show your face right into the cam after you did your Switch BS 180° Indy!

This round’s winner will get a nice Quiksilver Package including: Quiksilver Travis Rice Signature Goggle and the Quiksilver Premium SnowPack (thechnical snowboard features, suspensions system, LED lighting system und premium audio components – make the backcountry a whole new experience)

This winter is going to be one giant worldwide session!

From now on every 14 days one of your favorite Pros will present a trick you have to imitate within two weeks and on a similar obstacle. Once you have sticked and – hopefully – filmed the trick you must upload it as video file to the Quiksilver King of S.N.O.W platform. Needless to say that you should try to redo the trick with as much style as possible in order to get as many judging points as possible in the worldwide ranking. Because in every single round – that means every 14 days – the most gnarly and styled trick will be rewarded with a massive stuff package.

We will make you rich and famous!

The top four snowboarders that have earned the most judging points after Round 7 will be invited by Travis Rice and Mathieu Crepel to their invitational-only event in La Plagne, France – called Chromatophobia. Quiksilver will assume just everything – flight, accommodation and catering – no matter from where on this planet you have to travel.

T-Rice will present the final trick in the Quiksilver King of S.N.O.W snowpark the four finalists have to copy. A camera team will capture every single trick and finally upload it to www.king-of-snow.com. Afterwards the tricks will be judged one more week for the very last time. The one with the highest score may be pleased about 5.000,- USD cash and short interviews with all our media partners worldwide.

As a special goodie the four lucky finalists will get a wildcard to compete with Mathieu, Travis and many other topguns at the Chromatophobia.

My Blog: Airblaster's August and Think Thank's Stack Footy
By: Porters_Tahoe




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

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

Snowboard.com News: Infamous Management Signs Kyle Mack, he's only 11!
By: Snowboard.com


 

 

11 year old snowboarder, Kyle Mack is added to the Infamous team?

British Columbia - September 8, 2008 - Infamous Management is proud to announce the signing of young snowboard phenom, Kyle Mack to a multi-year contract.

Kyle has been a force on the Burton Smalls since his introduction to the team in 2005. As a part of the Smalls crew he has shot, filmed and competed with some of the sports' most influential riders, photographers and videographers. Recently Kyle was featured in two back to back issues of Snowboarder Magazine, a feat for snowboarders twice his age. With his career on the upswing Kyle's parents sought honest representation for their son, and found it in Infamous Management.

"I'm looking forward to being part of the Infamous crew! It's going to be great working with Roberta and getting to meet the other team riders. My sponsors believe that this is a great step in my career, and I just keep thinking that I'm only 11, what is a career? I'm just having a great time shredding. But seriously, I do believe that being part of this crew is going to be an awesome experience all around, both personally and professionally." -Kyle Mack

At just eleven years old Kyle has begun to make his mark in the snowboard industry because of his raw talent and good style. Infamous has taken note of Kyle's athletic ability and achievements, and wants to provide him with direction as he makes the first and most vital decisions in his snowboard career. Infamous will ensure that he becomes a well-rounded and highly marketable athlete, and that his snowboarding will continue to stand out among his peers.

"In an era where there are more followers than leaders Kyle stands out, not just with his talent and style, but also with his knowledge and passion for snowboarding. Kyle knows what a real pro snowboarder is and doesn't let the mainstream market dictate that to him. He respects the riders that are doing real tricks and pushing the sport. In the near future Kyle will be the one setting the standard, I have no doubt about that. He has talent, maturity, and passion,  plus the support of a loving family behind him.  With the added support of Infamous and our athletes he will succeed." -Roberta Rodger

Kyle's ultimate goal is to become one of the best snowboarders in the world, which is why he wants to develop experiences in heli-boarding, the backcountry and at rail events. Not to mention he would like to have continuing success in halfpipe and slopestyle competitions.

Snowboard.com News: Artist Group Interview with Animal Nation
By: Snowboard.com
Group Name:

Animal Nation

Artists:

Steige 'Tall Man' Turner, Mike 'Armadillo Slim' Armitage.


How/What started Animal Nation?

Tall Man - An almost fight between me and Mike about whether or not a certain band was any good. I told him he wouldn't know good music if he made it himself. Turns out he did.

When did you decide that this was something that you two wanted to take to the next level?

TM - I don't remember taking it to the first level! Haha. I mean, it's been about ten billion tiny little baby steps, so it's been more of an uphill climb. Up a steep pitch. And we're both pulling really heavy refrigerators.

AS - And my refrigerator is filled with beer! (for a little while)

What’s your music background?

TM - I guess my dad used to play the drums. He was a studio musician for a while, but he hung up the kit when I was born, so I never really knew about that side of him until I found a drum kit in the garage one day. Jackpot!

AS - I don't have too much of a musical background besides the fact that I used to write a lot of poetry growing up. My mom tried to get me playing the piano and the violin when I was younger but I was too much of a rebel to listen to her. Momma's always right!

Who plays instruments?

AS - We have a house full of different instruments from slide whistles to potato shakers, but for the most part we just use them to jam out with. Steige plays the guitars and MPC and is getting good at the piano too. I just stick to the turntables and my voicebox mostly.

Take us through the process of creating a new song?

TM - We like drink until we blackout. That has nothing to do with creating a song, but we like to drink until we blackout.

AS - Its a really magical feeling knowing that you can create something besides a baby when you are drunk as a skunk and cruising in auto-pilot!

How do you guys get your beats? Do you create everything? Who is more into creating the beats and song flow?

TM - We gotsta do mad hutlez for beatzz! Sometimes we'll trade a beat we've made for a beat that we like that someone else has made. Sometimes we'll buy beats with money we've made selling our beats. Sometimes we'll make beats to use. Mike makes tons of beats, like a new one every other night. It's kind of ridiculous. He loves digging through old records and what not. I used to love the art of the chop (sampling), but I've gotten too much into listening to the music lately. And I always find it hard to sample a song that I want to keep listening to.

AS- The internet has played an integral role in the networking of Animal Nation which, in return, has allowed us to work with producers from all over the world. Hence the title, "TimeZone".

TM - As far as writing the song goes usually one of us will come up with the idea of the song, write a verse or a chorus for it, and give it to the other person. We'll pass it back and forth a few times, adding different parts, or changing the layout of a song, then record it. Recording the song completely changes the song. Halfway through recording you'll realize that you want to throw a couple instrumental bars in, or you'll want to take out the drum track for the second verse or something. Sometimes a song will take two hours to make, sometimes it will take two months.

What is your favorite song to perform?

TM - The corner of broadway. When we recorded it I recorded the entire song as a story, but when we do it live we go back and forth on nearly every line. It's cool to deconstruct and recreate your own music. Bop!

AS - I like to do the 'Aw Man Aw Well' remix produced by my man Matthias Relling in Germany. That one goes back and forth too and it relates to most people’s current financial situation. Cheery-O.

TM - I'm broke again! Aw man!

AS - Aw well.



What is a crowd favorite?

TM - I Never Cared (About the Troubles). That's the track right there! Scamp made the beat and it is amazing! We could have rapped about lasagna and it still would have been a good song. Although people seem to like that song we have about lasagna too, so who knows.

AS - Yeah that song pretty much appeals to everyone’s ear buds! Nuff said.

You guys have built your own recording studio at your place, how’s that?

AS - It’s awesome because we can do everything music related from our house but it sucks sometimes because we can’t always rock out as loud as we want due to the neighborly situation. Overall, it’s pretty convenient, though.

TM - People don't like harmonicas at 4 in the morning.

What was it like to be picked up by a record company? How is it?

TM - It was a thrill at first. Then we quickly started to realize that we could do everything that they can do, but we can do it without wasting time in meetings or wasting money on other people's efforts. I mean, I work 8 hours a day at my day job, then come home and spend another 8 hours doing music. I have no social life and I can't remember what kissing feels like, but at the end of the day we're the ones deciding how much we get out of it, and where we want to go with it. It rules.

AS - Yeah record labels pretty much suck.

You guys did a little trip over to Europe in the fall. How did people take to your shows?

AS - We got a great response from the Euro-Folk! People actually get into live performances and music in general over there. I just wish that all girls here looked like the ones in Denmark... DAMMMMN!

TM - I dunno man, the girls around here are pretty top notch. Too fine to give me any time, hah!

What’s the biggest/most publicity performance you guys have done?

AS - Thats a 3-way tie between the Telus Ski and Snowboard Festival, the pilot we filmed for MTV, and the morning news show we did for Global. The TWSSF was good because it was our first main stage act for a festival, the MTV pilot was awesome because all our fans/friends showed up to make the crowd rowdy, and the morning news was good because that was probably the biggest audience we've ever played for. Either way, they're all fun and games until somebody gets too hammered and needs to be carried home!

TM - Or loses two iPods on the same night.



Do you guys get to ride much?

TM - Dude! I got a pass super early this year because I was so stoked to get up on the hill, and I still haven't gone up once! Right before all the snow came I bought myself a fancy new guitar, so I've been spending most of my weekends locked up in the studio with my head in the clouds.

AS - I bunged up my shoulder early on this winter so I won’t be shredding again until spring. That’s ok, it’s not like this has been a good season or anything. NOT!

TM - Double NOT! Good luck untying that one.

Where can we hear your music?

TM - Check out our myspace page. That's easy. http://myspace.com/animalnation.

Where can we buy your music?

TM - Order it online at myspace for a hard copy, or iTunes for digital. You can get it in most indie record shops. If it's not on the shelves of your favorite record shop hold the place hostage with a butter knife and demand that they stock it!

Snowboard.com News: Interview with Alterna Film's Carlo Wein
By: Snowboard.com


Full Name: Carlo Jose Wein
Location: North Vancouver
Favourite Quote: "It's go time"
 
Your first Alterna snowboard movie came out in 2000, The Struggle.  Is it still a struggle today?

It’s always a struggle but we always find ways to overcome our challenges.
Creating snowboard films is definitely not the easiest of tasks, you have so many variables that need to come together for a film to be successful. Good light, snow conditions, crews that mesh well and solid sponsorship are only some of the various elements that need to work well in order to create a solid film.


What is a typical year like for you?

We pretty much film and travel from when the snow hits until around May of the following year. I guess that also depends on the type of snow year we are faced with, when we filmed Shrediquette a few years back we had the challenge of having hardly any snow, we were forced to go to Argentina in July to make up for lack of footage.

This year we traveled to Norway in July to get some "on the road" footy because we pretty much spent the whole season in Whistler.  Look out for the save of the century which took place on this trip care of JF FORTIN in the beginning of his segment.

As far as going to Vegas for the asr trade show we have been more successful gaining sponsorship outside of the show it seems its more of a good time than a time to do business.

Summers are now spent at our new office on the North Shore of Vancouver editing and going out fishing and boating as much as possible which is not that much. 
 
 
One of my favourite video parts is Travis Williams in Breaking Ground.  Do you have any favourite parts or sections that really stick out for you in your past 8 projects?
   
I guess the parts that stick out the most right off the top of my head are Mike Page's Struggle segment, the Poland section in IN TRANSIT, Trav's Breaking Ground segment, JF's Reflection segment, Beardmore's Fast Food segment this year the new faces like Takaharu Nakai and Matt Belzile stood out.

 
Do you think the internet is killing the video star?

I know that more people are watching our films because of the internet and less people are buying them. When I was in Finland last year all the up and coming finnish groms all had burned copies of almost every snowboard film. Europe is always a step ahead with this technology and North America will follow.  We are hoping that added value to our packaging like the insertion of an Apples & Oranges bandana this year will encourage people to buy the DVD.
 

What do you see for the future of snowboard films?

In my opinion, online distribution is definitely the future of snowboard flicks. People want to see movies right away and if you have your computer connected to your TV like most will in the future buying and viewing your favourite film will be one click away.


The latest project coming out of Alterna is Apples & Oranges.  What can we expect?

We shot the film in true HD so that is also a new element. Expect a 20 plus video layered intro that will have you re-watching it for sure. This year in some of the segments especially in Matt Belzile's part we miked Matt for his entire part.  Apples & Oranges also has the most cable cams and dolly shots that we have ever employed in any of our productions.

 
How large is the crew that put it all together this year?

During the winter there are seven production people together and we also contract out additional help during the winter for certain sessions. Myself and Bryant Bell are full time in the office on the North Shore.


I noticed that you popped the question if people would prefer Blue-ray vs. HD-DVD.  What are you thinking of going with?

It looks like Blue Ray for North America and HD DVD for Europe. 720p Downloads were also a big request. We will be releasing an HD downloadable version of Apples & Oranges closer to Christmas.


What would you like people to take away from watching Apples & Oranges?

Hopefully after watching Apples & Oranges you get stoked to go out and shred for yourself.
 

Where and when can people come out to the premieres?

All premieres will be listed on our website www.alternaactionfilms.com


Any shout outs?

Big Shout out to all the riders, production crew and sponsors involved in supporting the creation of past Alterna films and our latest release Apples & Oranges.

By: kickflipp

Ski & Snowboard Film premiere to Whistler- ‘Lost & Found’ -

Get Ian McIntosh to autograph your chest, then sit back and enjoy the show.

And the icing on the cake… rumours have it Doglotion.com will present the
World Premiere of Paul Cotton’s ‘Gaper Day 2007’ short film; a mockumentary of the biggest Whistler-end-of-season ‘celebration’ yet. Daffies, twisters, rock grinds, one-pieces, stretch-pants, Mexican wrestlers – exposed on the big screen like never before.

DETAILS

When: 2 shows (7 & 9pm), on Friday September 28

And someone's going home with a pair of new
DYNASTAR TROUBLE MAKERS!

About the film...

LOST AND FOUND is the story of the extraordinary season of 2006.07 as seen through the eyes of world-class skiers and snowboarders. With global drought persisting and ski resorts closing around the world, athletes are forced to follow the snow, sending them deep into the uncharted north country of Alaska and Canada – including of course – the
Whistler area. Filmed almost entirely in North America, LOST AND FOUND is a testament to the terrain and conditions that only exist in the Western Hemisphere.

It wouldn’t be complete without mind-blowing performances by some of our favourite Whistler athletes, Ian McIntosh, Dana Flahr, Kye Petersen, and Victoria Jealouse. McIntosh returns to try one-upping the films best breakthrough performance in last year’s film – his own – while Flahr is pumped on his return from injuries, and it shows. Once again, the Whistler crew pretty much shows the pros how we rock here in Whistler, and well, how last winter rocked us.
This film will take you into the vast, unexplored Tordrillo Mountains of Alaska, proving that some of the best big mountain riding in the world is still completely undiscovered. Athletes take advantage of the bountiful winter in British Columbia, hit disturbing park features in Aspen and score over-the-head powder pillows at Skeena Heliskiing.
The winter of 2007 was feast or famine; LOST AND FOUND documents the feast.

Sponsored by: JEEP, The North Face, Rossignol, Dynastar/Lange, Powder Magazine, Recco, Apple, Outside Magazine, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Burton
Local Sponsors: DYNASTAR, Glacier Shop, Rossignol, Whistler Blackcomb

タクミとケイジしか見えない位真っ白で何も見えませんでした。

Too fogy that I could only just see Tadashi and Keiji.

 

タダシは登るのが早い！ Tadashi drives up super fast!

フリーラン♪ 

2007.03.30 Friday

Free riding!♪

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

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


ランチ時には小鳥も寄ってきます。


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

03/28/07

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

  2007.03.28 Wednesday

Fair skies!!

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


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

この２日間でいろいろと映像が残せたのでお楽しみに〜！

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

03/27/07

 Nice day! 晴れるかも！

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

2007.03.27 Tuesday

Nice day!

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

Tadashi and Aki rode double on a sled heading to a kicker.It was very steep like a wall. (^^;)


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! 


03/21/07 

鎌ちゃんシリーズ？？？？？？ KAMA-chan Series! こんなんどう〜！

2007.03.21 Wednesday


大ちゃん誕生日おめでとう！（TWSの編集長）Happy birthday, Dai-chan! (Editor of TWS)

 

03/21/07 

ハラへった〜〜〜！ オレらもやってっどぉ〜！！３月２０日天気も良くいい感じで撮影をやってきました。こっちのメンバーは、タロさ、（ビデオカメラマン）タクちゃん、ショウちゃん、ただぼー、楽しかったよ〜！！ショウタとタクミがウケるんですよコレがまた。スノーモービルでドコまでも着いてくるんですよ。（コイツらさすが兄弟って思うね）彼らは、コレからですね！みんな映像を楽しみにしててね〜（写真もね）

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. 

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

 こんにちは！ど〜も！翔太で〜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！

This is my first time to write in the Heart Film's blog!I came back to Whistler the day before yesterday!


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〜

  Yesterday Nobu joined us to help us edit the new heart film's video and Aki, Koni, Shota and Taro-the other filmer will come back to Canada tomorrow.It’s going to be a bustling town again! I can’t wait!

 ケイジKEIJI 

03/08/07 

やほーぅ！ ケイジでーす。1ヶ月ぶりにカナダに戻ってきました〜！ 入国審査で止められて、かなり足止めくらってました。。。2時間以上待たされてもしかしたら入れないの…？？そんな不安が頭によぎったけど、何とか審査官にハンコを押してもらえて無事入国！人もいっぱいで、面倒だから行っていいよ！みたいな感じだったな〜。（苦笑） 飛行機は偶然にもフォトグラファーのマルさんやレッドアイのシブさん、中井、フミオ、ハク君などが一緒でピックリ。みんなカナダ楽しみでウズウズしてましたね。 

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!

Hellooooooo!! This is Hiromi! I went to Inawashiro, Fukushima to shoot with Heart Films. I came back to Yamagata, and I was in bed with a high fever.Now I am recovered!! 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〜！

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）

 

2007.03.02 Friday

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.

27日の夜は新作ティーザー試写&Party!

27th night, the new TEASER film preview and a party will be held. 

28日はheartライダー達と一緒に楽しくわいわい滑りましょう！

28th, let’s have fun riding with Heart Film’s riders! 



- NATASZA からメッセージ -I'm at the Inawashiro resort for the moon shoot now. Annie Fast from TWS is also here so at least I have one english speaking person to talk to. I went to look at the slope with Keiji today and it looks fun! 



2007/02/24 日本オープン02　／　Nippon Open 02

 

本日の日本オープンは、コニがレールジャムに出場しやしたが残念な事に優勝の3000ドルは、ゲットならずでしたが攻め攻めでかなり男前のライディングで観客も大盛り上がりでした。毎年レールジャムの後に花火が上がるんですが、今年も最高の花火でした。ちなみに、凄さがあまりつたわらないですがこんな感じです。

Konishi entered the Rail Jam but couldn’t win the prize money of $3000.He rode awesome and his riding was damn good as the spectators were goingoff! Every year after the Rail Jam there are fireworks set off. This year, it wasgreat as usual! A photo of the fireworks.

 



- from Natasza -I have seen so many people I've met before here in Alts Bandai...I saw Michiyo, Rieppe, Miki, someone else...I can't remember her name. I had a great time at the Nippon Open! The kicker was so poppy that you had to go into it with a lot of speed and then after that came a huge hip. There weren't any rails which isn't typical of a slopestyle event. But here in Japan it's called park style cause someone bought the rights to 'slopestyle' so they can't use it. I didn't make it past semi finals. I landed my run but I missed the grab on my frontside 540. This is how competing is...one simple grab or not can mean the difference between advancing to the next round or being eliminated. I'm not bummed to miss the podium but a little bummed because now I can't hit those jumps anymore. I met with Keiji and we're going to the moon shoot together and afterwards he said he would help me get to Narita airport. This is a photo of last nights karaoke session...20 sweaty people all screaming into the mic in a karaoke sauna!

2007/02/23 日本オープン01　／　Nippon Open 01

 昨日は日本オープンのハーフパイプセミファイナルがありました。雨が降ってるなか、タカが出場しましたが残念な事にファイナルには進めませんでしたが、ダブル位飛んでスピンをばんばん決めてました。

Half pipe semifinal was held yesterday.Taka entered the semifinals in the rain but unfortunately he couldn’t go tothe finals.But he did hit the jump twice as high as anyone else and did some sickspins!



2007/02/22 NIPPON OPENに来ましたーー。

Nippon Open Begins! 

どーもコニシです。NIPPON OPENに来ましたー。今日はパークスタイルの予選と準決勝がありました。コニシはもちろん予選落ちです。ジャンプとヒップが雪不足にもかかわらずええサイズで出来てたんやけど、ヒップのランディングで角に乗っかって吹っ飛ばされました。 ワイがこけるのは珍しくないけど他のHEARTFILMSのメンツも全滅です。こういう時もあるんですねー。でも土曜日のレールジャムに出るので、そんときはやったろかなー思てます。______________________________________________________________________________

Hello, this is Konishi.I came to the Nippon Open. There were qualifiers and semi finals for thePark Contest today. I didn't do well:( Despite the snow shortage, thejump and hip were a nice size;) But unfortunately I fell on all thelandings:( It’s not uncommon that I fell, but all the other Heart Films members alsowashed out! Now that's uncommon! But on Saturday’s rail jam, you’ll see!


帰りがけに夕日の光がきれいやったからちょこっと撮影しました。ちっちゃいギャップに夢中になって縦回転してました。色がきれーよ。お楽しみニー。

On my way back, the sunset was nice and I took this picture. The color wasbeautiful! 


2007/02/21 

にっぽんおーぷん　／　Nippon Open 

ショータで〜す！今日はNIPPON OPENのPark Styleの公開練習。ちょっと滑って混んでたのでちっちゃいパークに行って滑った。ちっちゃいキッカーで思い切り逆エッヂで飛んでいったけど、シャバシャバだったから助かりました。 明日はトリプルバックフリップしちゃうかも〜！（ウソ）見に来てね〜 


Hey this is Shota!Today is the public practice session for the park for the Nippon Open.I went to the small park because the other main practice area was socrowded. I hit a small kicker and almost died but thank god for the slushysnow! I’m going to do a Triple-back flip tomorrow--! (Just Kidding!)Come and see me! ___________________________________________________________________________ 

ただボーで〜す！今日、北海道から福島のアルツに着ました。（NIPPON OPEN）オレもPark styleにでま〜す。明日は、どうなりますかね〜？とりあえず頑張ってジャンプしないと！でも〜。。。。。２６日からあるHeartパークセッションが楽しみなんだよね〜（笑）こんな事言ったら怒られるね。（ゴメンなさい） 話し変わるけど北海道はいいネ〜雪がいっっっっぱい！やっぱりスノーボードは楽しーよ〜〜。。サイコ〜〜〜！こんな感じでビール飲んじゃいま〜す。ほんじゃ！ 

This is Tadashi!I came here to Alts Fukushima from Hokkaido for the Nippon Open.I’m going to enter the Park contest. What will happen tomorrow??I’ll just do my best!But actually the Heart park session is what I am really looking forward too(Oops, maybe I shouldn’t say that...) (^^;) Meantime, Hokkaido is a very nice place!So much snow!I love snowboarding after all! It’s the shi*t!Going to drink some beer. Bye now!


  \

北海道最終日。忠の1発目はindy！The last day in Hokkaido. Tadashi’s first trick was an indy! 


2007/02/20 晴れ待ち…　／　Waiting for the sun… 

今日は新しいポイントへ！メンバーは忠、アキ、フウタとフィルマーのケイジ。 ハイクして何か面白いことができないかと探し回り、いい斜度が見つかったのでキッカーを作って撮影してきました。[:カメラ:]

We went to a new spot today!The members were Tadashi, Aki, Futa and Keiji (filmer). We hiked to find a fun spot and found a nice slope for a jump. We made akicker and filmed.

天気はいまいち。どんよりと曇った空から時々顔を出す太陽。よりいい映像を撮るために晴れを待ってのジャンプ。

The weather wasn’t good.The sun come out once in a while.We had to wait around for the sun to get good footage. 

集中力も途切れるくらいの長くツラい時間…

We had a hard time waiting for the sun and it tampered with the rider'sconcentration. 

結局明るい時に飛べたのは2~3本。自分のタイミングで飛べない難しい状況でも、3人ともカッコいいジャンプしてました。(^^)

They could only hit the jump a few times in the daylight.The riders killed the jump despite their difficult situation. (^^)


ファーストジャンプでBs180を決める忠　／　Tadashi did a backside 180 on the first jump.

   待ち時間が長くていつもと違う疲労感。今日はなかなか厳しい撮影でした。。。[:プシュー:]

Today, the waiting time was very long and tiring.It was a tough filming day… 

明日は北海道最終日！忠はアルツで行われるNIPPON OPENへ向かいます。晴れてほしいな〜

Tomorrow will be the last day in Hokkaido!Tadashi is going to Arutu to go to the NIPPON OPEN.We hope for some sunny skies!


2007/02/19 ジャンプセッション！　

Jump Session! 

TOYOTA後の撮影で怪我をしていたアキ君が合流！今日のメンバーは忠＆アキ＆ケイジの3人。札幌でアップ系キッカー作ってジャンプしてきました。[:チョキ:] 天気はイマイチだったけど、キッカーセッション盛り上がりましたよ〜休まないでかなりの本数飛んでたな〜。(^^;) ２人とも新しい技にチャレンジしてましたよ！今年のビデオで披露されると思うのでお楽しみに！ _____________________________________________________________________________ Aki, who was injured from shooting after the TOYOTA X-Trail, joined us.Today’s members were Tadashi, Aki and Keiji.We made some kickers and rode at Sapporo.The weather was not so good but we had fun with our kicker session.They rode non stop without any breaks. (^^;) Aki and Tadashi were trying to do new tricks!You’ll see the new tricks in this year's HEART Films vol. 2.Don’t miss it!

 

2007/02/18 プチ試写会／Preview party 

2/17(土)岳温泉　居酒屋'萬屋'にて06/07HEART FILMSティーザーを流してのプチ試写会開催しました！集まってくれたのは、鹿児島〜地元福島のスノーボーダー約60名かな？布施忠、西田崇君や田口美樹ちゃんも来てくれてかなり盛り上がりました。1パートずつ歓声があがって、できあがりを楽しみ！ってみんな言ってました。[:わーい:] _____________________________________________________________________________ 

We held a small preview party for the 06/07 HEART FILMS at Yorozuya inTakeonsen.There were about 60 snowboarders from Kagoshima to Fukushima.Tadashi Fuse, Takashi Nishida and Miki Taguchi were there too. The partywas really exciting.Everyone cheered for each part of it and everybody said they can’t wait tosee the completed version.

 

2007/02/17 晴れた〜 (^^) 今日は6時出発！天気予報も当たり、いい感じに晴れていました。(^^) 十勝岳のクリフを攻めた後は、前に作り置きをしておいたポイントへ移動。ジャンプしたりパウダースプレーを上げてみたり。日が落ちる寸前まで撮影してきました。やっぱり天気がいいとテンション上がるな〜！

 _________________________________________________________________________ 2007.02.17 

SaturdaySunny--- (^^) We left at six in the morning today!The forecast was right and it was sunny today. (^^) After we hit cliffs at Tochigatake, we went to a spot we had set up earlier.We hit a few jumps and then rode some powder.We were shooting until the sun went down.That’s how it should be! The sunny skies lifted our spirits up.


きれいに晴れた旭岳。Asahidake was brilliantly sunny.


何とキツネが登場。かわいいヤツです。

Wow, a cute little fox appeared! 


2007/02/16 

かまくらランチ♪ どもです！忠と潤君、フォトグラファーのヌマクさん、ケイジの4人は朝から十勝岳へ行ってきました。(^^)風邪がスゴく強くて天気も悪かったけど、ツリーの中は風もなくていい感じでした。パウダースプレーをあげたり、マッシュからジャンプしたり、その時その状況で出来ることを撮影してきました。[:カメラ:] 


2007.02.16 

FridayHaving Lunch at KAMAKURA (snow cave) Hello!Tadashi, Jun, Numaku (photographer) and Keiji went to Tokachidake from themorning. (^^)It was windy and bad weather, but in the trees there was no wind at alland very nice.We shot sprays of powder, mushroom lines, and whatever we could shoot inthose conditions.

 

雪が降っていたのでかまくらを掘ってランチタイム。

It was snowing so we made a snow cave to have lunch.

思ったより低かったので首曲げながら食べてました。（笑）

The snow cave was lower than we thought that we had to bend our neckforward while we ate. :) 

タクミ&タローさんは札幌方面で撮影してきたそうです。明日は晴れ予想！みんな合流してがっちりやってきま〜す！

Takumi and Taro-san were shooting around Sapporo.Tomorrow will be sunny! We will all get together and do our best!

  2007/02/15

 大荒れ…？？ 

大荒れになる予想だったけど天気は落ち着いてますね〜昨日まで-17度とかだったのに今日はプラスまで温度が上昇。街中は少し春みたいです。 …当たらないな…天気予報。（苦笑） 昨日に引き続き、今日も何かできそうなポイントを探しに行ってきました！ しか〜し… 目星を付けておいたポイントに行ってみるけど、実際近くで見てみるとちょっと微妙。他のポイントに行ってみても雪がいまいち良くなかったり。そう簡単には心がグッと引きつけられるようなところは見つからないもんですね。。。 今日もかなり車を走らせて探しまわったけど撮影できず。残念デス。。。 また明日頑張ります！ 

2007.02.15 

Thursday Stormy…?? 

According to the forecast, today’s weather is supposed to be stormy, butit’s calm.Until yesterday the temperature had been minus 17 or something but it’splus today.It’s a bit like spring in the town. The weather forecast can’t be right… Today, we went to look for some good points. BUUUUUUUT… Went to the point which we had marked out, but actually it’s not that good.At other spots, snow was no good either.We can’t find good spots easily… We drove the car here and there but couldn’t find any spots and no shootingtoday. Too bad. Maybe tomorrow.


何かできないかとイメージ中の忠。

Tadashi was thinking that he would do something.


たまたま走って見つけた氷の滝。すごい迫力だったな〜

We happen to find the iced water fall. That was really something. 

2007/02/14

 走りまくり。

Run and run. 

寒い！今日もがっちりマイナスの世界です。（笑）

It’s cold! Another cold day today. :)

 

旭川からいいポイントを探しに車で移動。まずは名寄目指して北上します。

We left Asahikawa to look for good areas by car.First, we went up north toward Nayoro.

 

途中で面白い人口ログみたいなところで撮影した後はほとんど移動。人生初の流氷見てから戻ってきました。もしかしたら400km近く走ったかも。（苦笑）

We shot an artificial log along the way, but mostly we continued on.We saw an iced waterfall. （That was my first time seeing a frozenwaterfall.)We drove nearly 400Km today. 

明日からの天気はかなり荒れるみたい。雪降ってリセットしてくれればいいな〜〜！

It seems to be bad weather starting tomorrow.Hope to have snow to make everything new! 

2007/02/13 

朝、車の外気温の表示をチェックしたらなんと-17もありました。

静岡では桜が咲いてるのに北海道はまだまだ真冬です。本日の撮影は十勝岳。天気良くなる事が少ないと聞いていた十勝岳が、がっちり天気が良くピークまでバッチリ抜けてました。初めて行ったんですがかなりごつい山でした。


午前中はクリフでセッション、午後は前日見つけた凍った滝の前でスラッシングタダシ、ジュン、フウタで各自攻め方もいろいろで今日もいいセッションが出来ました。




2007/02/12 

寒い！。。。ヤバイよ〜！ 　今日は、チョー寒かったよ〜！（北海道の十勝岳）メンバーは、鎌ジュン！フ〜タ（福島の？？？）今日はですね〜何をしたかとゆうとまずは、ハイクをしまくった（かなり疲れたよ〜）しかもオレが先頭（笑）んで、ヤバイジャンプを作り明日にむけて帰って来ちゃいました（笑）ホントいい感じだよ〜（ちょっと気になるっしょ！！すいません）ハハ〜お楽しみだよ〜！。。。。。。疲れたからまた明日[:ビール:]。。。おやすみなさ〜い。



2007/02/11

ふらの 今日は富良野スキー場へ！メンバーは忠、潤君、今日から合流したフウタ、そしてフィルマーのタローさんとケイジ。天気は曇った感じで、フリーランしながら撮影ポイントを探しまわってました。日曜なのにそこまで混んでいなくて、パウダーもかなり残っていて良かったな〜。みんなハッスルしてました。マッシュや、いろいろ撮影してかなり楽しく笑った1日だったな〜。[:温泉:]


潤君とフウタ。テンション上がってます。


思い切り踏み切って飛んでいくフウタ。この後スゴい事しちゃいます。ナイス！ そうそう、TOYOTA BIG AIRでアキ君、ショータがbest8に入ったそうです！ショータと話したんですけど、かなり気持ちよく飛んでたみたい。TV放映楽しみですね！ 2007/02/10 探索！！ 朝7時にホテルを出発！旭川から車で1時間半ほどのところで撮影してきました [:カメラ:] 車を走らせながら撮影できそうなポイントを見つけると、スノーシューに履き替えてハイクアップ開始。今日の気温は何と-23度！寒いっス…。ホントにしばれます。（苦笑）

　

忠はいきなりハードなラインをメイクして、　みんなを驚かせててましたね。　[:イケテル:]

　

潤君もかなり楽しそうに滑ってました。(^^)

　

フィルミングしているアヤしい忠。（笑）


久しぶりにいっぱい歩いたな〜川にハマるハプニングもあったり、天気良くて楽しい一日でした [:温泉:] 


2007/02/09 

in hokkaido 

雪の少ない仙台から、ジュンと北海道にやってきました。しかも札幌は、雪祭り&トヨタビッグエアーでかなりの盛り上がり。しかも、その両方のコラボレーションで大通り公園でトヨタビッグエアーの日本人アマチュア予選を行うと言う、かなりナイスなイベントをやってました。


それを、軽く見た後タダシと合流して3人でテイネハイランドに行ってきました。この日はナイターセッションで軽くゲレンデ脇のパウダーを満喫したり、壁を見つけて当て込んだりとかなり楽しいセッションが出来ました。

ほっかいどう。 どもです！ 北海道では忠、潤君、タローさんが合流してナイターを滑りに行ったみたいですね。30cm位昨日降ったみたいだからパウダー楽しそうだな〜[:ゆき:] ヒロミは安比から移動中で、２月前半は山形で撮影に励むそう。やりたいポイントがあるって言ってたんで映像見るの楽しみですね！ そうそう、みなさんTWJの3月号についているDVDに、昨シーズンやったモービルキャンプの映像が入ってます！メンバーは忠、アキ君、maruさん、と自分の4人。アラスカロードトリップから戻り、その次の日も早朝から撮影してから行ったキャンプ。。。 楽しかったけど、そうとうハードスケジュールだったな〜（笑）スノーボード以外にもこんな事してるんだ〜って感じで、まったりと見れると思うんでチェックしてみてくださいね。[:猫2:]

 

明日から自分も北海道に出発しま〜す！楽しみだ〜〜[:チョキ:] 


2007/02/07 

日本。Japan 帰ってきました〜〜ハイウェイでも何もトラブルなくてよかったぁぁ出発前日は一睡もしなかったので機内で曝睡です。。。[:月:]危なく機内食のタイミング逃すところでした。（笑） そうそう、同じ便にトレバーも乗っていました！TOYOTA BIG AIRに出場してからライブするらしいです。（東京なのかな？）相変わらずメローでフレンドリーでした。 TOYOTAと言えば、heart filmsからもアキ君、コニ、タクミ、ショータも出場します！楽しみだな〜！みなさんも応援してくださいね！！ 忠、タローさん、潤君が北海道に明日到着。自分は明後日合流しま〜す！[:ゆき:] 2007/02/05 連続… 昨日土砂崩れで通行止めになったハイウェイで、今日はバスとトラックの大事故があって通行止めになってしまいました。。。[:びっくり:] 忠は明日の早朝の便で日本へ帰国する予定で、夕方にウィスラーを出発。しかしこの事故で何時間も足止めされることに。電話で話したけどかなりツラそうでした。 事故処理が思うように行かずにハイウェイはもう大渋滞。夜遅くなってやっと通行出来るようになったみたいです。 明日の早朝に自分もバスでバンクーバーに向かうんですが、こうも連続で事故があるとさすがに不安になってくるな〜…頼みますよ〜[:あせあせ:]（苦笑） 2007/02/05 帰国 今日帰国するのに空港に向かってたらバンクーバーの手前で渋滞になったので、送ってくれたyuhoと様子を見に

いったら、　　　 なんと！！ 落石 

落石で道路が完全にふさがっていて、なんと先頭にいた車がレッドアイクルーの車でビックリしました。 周りを見てもいつ崩れるかわからない感じの壁がまだ何カ所かあったので通る人は要注意！！ 2007/02/04 春？？ 今日は忠とゲレンデへ！暖かいっすね〜。朝降っていた雪も昼には雨に変わっていました… まるで春デス。。。 リフトで雨に打たれるのに耐えきれず、短期集中で滑って下山しました。でもカチカチだったバーンも少し柔らかくなってカービング気持ちよかったな。


『みんなあつまれ〜』って感じです。 今朝出発したショータとタローさんですが、バンクーバーに行く途中のハイウェイで落石が道をふさいでしまってフライトに間に合わなかったみたい。。。巻き込まれなくてよかっですね…[:冷や汗:] 2007/02/03 いざ日本へ。 今日はショータ&タローさんがカナダ最終日。忠のところで飲みながらいろいろ話してました♪ 明日の飛行機はマンモスに行っているアキ君と同じ便みたい。他のクルーも同じ便らしいので、かなり濃い空の旅になるような気がします。[:ピピピ:] 残念ながらカナダはしばらく雪降らなそうです。。。もしかしたら近いうちに忠と北海道に行くかもしれないですね。雪を追いかけなければ！[:パンチ:]

　

雪が良かった頃の景色。懐かしい… ショータちゃんと起きろよ〜〜。（笑） 

2007/02/02 

久しぶりのオフ 今日は激ハードなロードトリップから帰ってきて初めてのオフ。忠も今日はゆっくりできたみたい。 ショータとタローさんはheart house近くのモービルポイントに行ってきたようです。やっぱり雪はカッチカチで、キャタピラも空回りするようなくらいツルツルだったみたいですね… ちょっと怖そうだなぁ… 自分は1日たまってきた映像をまとめたりしてました。ホームページでも映像見れるようになったのでチェックしてくださいね！ 

2007/02/01 

カチカチパーク 今日はブラッコムスキー場のパークに行ってきました！メンバーは忠、コニ、ショータ、フィルマーのタローさん、ケイジ。 タクミは1ヶ月半、カナダでの撮影を終えて日本に向けて出発。みんなも2月は日本でTOYOTA BIG AIRや NIPPON OPENなどに出場する予定です。 久しぶりのゲレンデは、雪が降ってなくてかなり固い状態。天気は最高なんだけどね。パークもかなり気合い入ったアイテムばかり。見た目に圧倒されます。（苦笑）みんな調子を見ながら滑って、最後はクォーターでハイクしてハンドプラントセッションしてました。[:イケテル:]


夜はみんなでウィスラーでお世話になっている『寿司屋』のヤマさん、フォトグラファーのmaruさんとご飯食べにいってきました。

奄美にて

コニは明日帰国。また日本でね！

2007/01/28 レベルストーク撮影3日目。　／　3rd Day filming in Revelstoke. 

天気は快晴！今日は新しいポイントに行ってきました。朝日の中、樹氷の間を気持ちよくモービル走り抜け、撮影出来そうな場所を探します …が 尾根を行けども行けども、地形がフラット。トレイルの最後は今まで見た事ないくらいの断崖絶壁で行き止まり。。。 少し撮影出来たけど、今日のポイントはちょっと選択ミスでしたね。モービルデートにはオススメですけど。（苦笑） こうやって学んでいくんでしょう！明日も頑張ってきまーす

 ______________________________________________________________________________ Today was a sunny day!We went to a new spot. We were looking for a spot where we could film ice covered trees in the nicemorning sun except all the spots were flat. At the end of the trail there was an overhanging cliff that I had never seenbefore. We could have filmed that but we kept going. We need to learn thetrails and learn from our experiences here. We'll keep gong tomorrow!

夕暮れ撮影


先々日、ナイターにかけてバンクーバーの街をバックにライダーはタクミとショータ、スチールはジゾーでビデオ自分（タロー）で撮影してきました。ちょっと設計ミスっぽいヒップでしたが、こんな感じでした。

2007/01/29

Shota's filps ! Nite shoot at the HEART films house.Shota flips a no foot and lands 15 feet down a sketcky icy driveway!SICK!!!

\shotas flips01 

2007/01/30ハートハウスで遊んでみました。　／　We hung out at the HEART House.


ちょい前からHeart house で撮影しようってタクミ、ショータ、オレ（タロー）とで話てたので、実行してみまた！! 前の日バンクーバーで夜の撮影した次の日だったので、昼のうちにゆっくり段取りして夜に撮影開始。この日は、カメラマンのジゾーとYuho（参加差し入れピザありがとう）！！寒い中ご苦労さんです。 

TAROSAN - FilmerI planned to shoot Takumi and Shota in front of the HEART House since wemoved in and finally we were able to set everything up. Last night we filmed in Vancouver at GROUSE Mt. so we spent the day preppingthe site so we can have a night shoot. Today we had two photographers, ZIZO and Yuho. (Thanks for the PIZZA!) Thanks for shooting despite the cold! 

タクミ、ショータとも狙う所が違うので交互にスタート。ショータは、木の手すりからドロップ。しかも、2回で、凄い！！

Takumi and Shota were hitting 2 different spots. Shota was trying a no footflip down a 15ft icy driveway and Takumi was trying a gap to wooden handrailto dropping onto the same icy landing! Shota landed his knarly trick. Itwas SICK!!!

shota_nofoot

これがその瞬間です！！This is the sick shot! 次のタクミは、ジュンプ台からジャンプして木の手すりを走り下の雪のバンクに降りる感じです。しかも、ジャンプと手すりの間が結構離れてました。これは、ハイスピードで細い手すりに乗るので攻めるのはかなりのピンポイントです。

 

こんな感じで第一回Heart house 撮影会終了。また、第二回Heart house撮影会を企むのでよろしくです。 

Next Takumi gapped 12ft onto a sketchy wooden rail 15ft above a flat icydriveway. The gap was knarly for he needed to hike up into the woods andride down an icy path through the woods to get enough speed to gap onto thewooden rail. Check out the footage in HEART FILMS vol. 2! www.heartfilms.com 

 2007/01/30レベルストーク4日目。　／　4th Day Filming at Revelstoke 

コニシです。今日は天気が悪かったー。ので山に上がるのはやめて久々のオフー。のはずがジブやってました。宿から３０秒のとこにええのがあったんです。当て込んだり、ジャンプしたりおもろい事してました。 ケイジです。今日は庭でみんなでアイディア出しながら撮影してました。コニは『恥ずかし固め』されてました。[:イヒヒ:]映像にも残っているのでお楽しみに！_____________________________________________________________________________ 

This is Kony! The conditions were not too good today:( We thought we would take the dayoff but we found a super fun jib 30 seconds from our hotel so we had funjibbing that. This is Keiji. We filmed a lot of miscellaneous items from the junk yard. Kony had somepretty strange balancing acts and it was pretty funny. [:イヒヒ:] Check it out inHEART Films vol. 2! 

 2007/01/31レベルストーク最終日！　／　The last day filming in Revelstoke. 

今日はスノーモービラー（スノーモービルでジャンプしたりするヤバい人）達から教えてもらった新しいポイントに撮影行ってきました〜 ハイウェイを渡りトレイルに入っていくんですけど山頂までの道のりが遠い遠い…バンプ（ボーダークロスのウェーブみたいなもの）が始めから永遠と続いていて本当に運転が大変なんです。。。根性根性、もう部活ノリです。[:ニョロ:] モービルで撮影しにいくと1日でだいたい100km近く走ってます。今日はライン系やクリフジャンプなどで撮影してきました。 撮影から宿に戻り、速攻でパッキングしてウィスラーに向けて出発。忠と自分の2人は寝ずに10時間かけてウィスラーへ帰ってきました。到着したのは早朝の4時過ぎ。長かったぁぁ〜…本当に長かったなぁぁ〜睡魔と幻覚に戦い、ナチュラルハイでおかしくなってました。 5日蓮続撮影してそのまま10時間ドライブ。。。アラスカの時もそうでしたが、やっぱり忠は鉄人です。超タフ。運転お疲れさまでした。 今回のロードトリップはオフなしでみんな頑張って走りきりましたね。毎日発見があるし、スゴく刺激的でした。ロブ、コーディー、デイブ、モービルを貸してくれたナターシャありがとう。_______________________________________________________________________

The last day filming in Revelstoke. Today we checked out a spot that the sled necks were jumping with theirsleds. It was pretty COOL. We had to cross the highway and continue on thetrail forever! It was super far to the top of the mountain. The trails were crazy bumpy all the way and it was torture! It was a SBXfor sleds. We pushed on harder and harder...It was like we were in atraining club![:ニョロ:] We usually ride about 100km with our sleds to film. Today we filmed a cliff. As soon as we arrived at the hotel, Tadashi decided to leave Revelstokeasap. Keiji and Tadashi drove non stop and made it into Whistler 4 in the morning.They drove for 10 hours! Too long!!! They endured and stayed awake. They kept hallucinating and were on anatural high that made both of them think they were going CRAZY. Non stop filming for 5 days in super hard sledding conditions to a non stop10 hour drive...TADASHI is a super tough guy...MEGA TOUGH! It reminded usof our Alaska Trip last season...CHECK IT OUT in Heart Films vol. 1. Thanks for driving and getting everyone home safely, Tadashi!!! Our road trip was a success. Despite our non stop schedule, we discovered alot of new terrain and everyday was super exciting! ROB, GORDIE, DAVE...We appreciate your help!!! Thanks to Natasza for lending Keiji a sled so last minute! Translated by Sachi and Yuho.

スゴいっす！ここはスノーモービル天国ですね。駐車場にはスノーモービラーだらけ。しかもみんなかなり攻めそうな人達です。（笑）駐車場でスキー場でリフト券を買うようにトレイル使用料を払い、スノーモービラーのロブにポイントの入り口まで案内してもらいました。初めての場所なので探りながら前に進みどんどん奥へ。雪は思っていたよりも良くて、何カ所か撮影する事ができました。[:カメラ:]ウィスラーでモービルを乗っているときよりも緊張してるし、余計な力も入るわで、帰る頃にはみんなグッタリ。。。今日はビール飲んで早く寝ます。（笑）おーし！明日も頑張るぞ〜！

コニとフィルマーのケイジ。快晴です。_____________________________________________________________________
AWESOME!!!  Revelstoke is a sled neck's paradise!  The parking lot was fullof sled necks and the testosterone levels seemed high:)We were charged to use the trail sort of like a lift ticket at a resort.ROB guided us to the trail head.  We continued further but carefully for it was our first time.The snow was better than what we expected.  We filmed a couple of spots.  We were super exhausted by the time we got home for we sledded with extra care compared to sledding in Whistler.We are going to drink a few beers and go to bed early:)YEAH!!!  Super excited for tomorrow! 

_________________________________________________________________________

今日もモービルで撮影行ってきました〜！山の下は曇りだったけど、山の上は晴れ間もあっていい感じ。コニはモービルで転がったり、しがみついたり、振り落 とされたりしながら、毎日格闘してます。[:イケテル:]2人ともシュート、クリフなど攻めてました。男なラインだったな〜。かなりカッコ良かった。忠も コニもハイクもしまくって今日はかなり疲れた様子。駐車場に戻る頃にはみんなグッタリ。。。（苦笑）夕飯は忠がトマトパスタをみんなに作ってくれました！ うまかったな〜お腹いっぱいです。(^^)明日は天気どうなんだろう？がっちり晴れたらいいな！ _______________________________________________________________________
We went to the mountain to film today.  It was cloudy going up the mountain but sunny on top.  That was so nice!Kony is having a hard time everyday struggling with his sled.  He is keenand tries super hard though despite getting bucked off his sled so many times! Kony and Tadashi filmed a cliff that was super steep and it looked sick!They hiked non stop so they seem pretty tired today.  We were all completelyworn out by the time we hit the parking lot...Tadashi whipped up some tomato pasta for dinner and it was so good!  We areso full.  We hope the weather will be good and sunny tomorrow!

ウィスラーを知り尽くした忠も、レベルストークは初めてなようで興奮気味。(^^)
明日は様子見ながら撮影してきます！[:カメラ:]

My Blog: session: handrail outdoor swimming pool
By: teamhallfactory_alex


On februar 8/2007 we (Team Hall Factory: Timo (rider) Andi (camera) Janna (supporting) and myself (camera) ) decided to leave school to go to the outdoor swimming pool in the town next to my home town.
 
We are on to make a video to get our friend Timo K. sponsort.
After a lot of filming in an Indoor-Skihall we were planning to film some handrail.
Searching for a good rail, Timo decided to ride one of the handrails in the outdoor swimming pool. After climbing over the fence we checkt the place out to make sure there are no other "spectators". It was the only snowfall this winter, so the drive we build wasnt that good, and it was also not very cold and it was bout to rain, so we had to hurry. Two dudes had to drag Timo, that he got enough speed for the jump.
Every thing work very well and in the end we got 25 min of film material and a bunch of great photos , cold feet and Timo hurt his knee. (We even filmed from the top of the diving platform)
So check out my photos and the short video (for video search for member: teamhallfactory  .!!!) of Timo K. riding!
