The Shred Remains.

Filming a team video was something I advocated the day I interviewed for a gig with the SDS. Two movies later and the third on the way, I always thought it was rad to have team movies as that's what skateboarding had done for years. I'm stoked to say that piles of Midwest kids are getting a chance to be in The Shred Remains. We lost a few winter soldiers along the way in this process but the likes of Viktor Simco, Cameron Strand, and Mark Wilson stepped up to put it on the line to film for this project. All these guys had other stuff going too, but piled in a van for months. Marie Hucal is coming off surgery on her shoulder after filming for two project the season before, but also piled in with the doods for months. Also Kevin Castanheira a Midwest grom when I first meet him is also helping put a touch on this film. It has me super excited to see it. I know there are a ton of movies I excited to see, but this really is close to my snowboarding heart. This is why we are behind Rome SDS, it's us, we're inclusive, not exclusive. We are you too.

There's to the real shit.

Minnesota Minors Teaser.

The Midwest youth movement continues to grow. With so many riders coming up from MN, plus the continuous flux of pros and manams to our wealth of street spots. It seems like kids don't know the ledge round here, I like that, check some of the heavier spots. I was wondering if this crew of kids were planning on putting something out. A month ago it sound up in the air, but now it looks like they pulled the cord, nice to see fresh faces stirring the drink.

Let this kids play.

Spring Boarding was the plan and Jason and the Boyne Highland's Crew had a super fun set up on Saturday. Props to them for making it happen, many came to enjoy the 60 degree weather and get some final days in. With skateboarding on the mind, unique lines, halfpipe single hitters, and channel ollies we're laced all day. Post game a bunch of friends skated at small park in Poteskey, while others were beat from a day of rippin mashed potato snow and choose to retreat from the suns rays.

That evening a mucho meals was made and shared, celebration enused, birthday wishes were shared. Some choose to camp with fire in tow, i hear the night was long. We awoke to the sound of thunder and rain. With the prospect of riding diminishing and a heavy headache, the phone rang. It was Jason from Boyne saying that the second day of riding Spring Board Meeting wasn't going to happen, Area manager wasn't down. We slowly cleaned out the condo and asset the situation. Rich Whinnie made the call to Charlie Hoffman, Nubs was a go. Last Day. Lets go.

April Roll

Make it snow, on its way to show, the my way, I roll to the north in search of the warmth of friends that share this same desire, i swear, i need to feel that wind that glistens sin of a free feeling i bare once i'm there, just check that rear view because it's still loaded with the white lines of memory that washed in from the past, before, where we drop deep to slash away from our day to day, no play and it's meaning less rodents who steal that cheddar that you worked so hard to care for, when you know i doesn't matter cuz it's only matter.

Well now thats off my mind.

Edgy

With snow not showing it's face due to us ripping it so hard. We started setting out deeper to get the goods. Found it and some great features to shred and film. Cam was fired up. 

Our accommodations have been great. Can you spot the Wolfe?

Went out to eat at a great spot called Rin. Tasty and fun. 

Squid fries for those American eyes. 

Rin. Shoes off.

Sun smiled on us. Off the top for some open bowl turns. 

Kop burning that turn. 

Hey Cam go stand on the Cornice. 

Pop goes the Cron. 

Our man with plans Simon Ramsay pop his bowl. 

Ramsay Park built by Wolfe. Ollie by Wolfe.

Sushi boots.

Medi O Core Family Dinner plus Cam. 

Rolled out even further for the goods. Tiene Sapporo. Cavan missed this spot, serious party foul.

We hiked the moon. 

Ripped while these people worked. 

So deep, So deep, but that leg to sleep.

Ramsay blast.

What a awesome day. Believe. 

Niseko nights. 

So many good times are being enjoyed quietly over here. We've been far enough north that while cancelations in this area leaves it light with people, we haven't been directly effect in any other way. 

Returning to spring shred in the Midwest is sounding awesome. 

Japan Has Been A Interesting Few Days.

View From a window in our Spot. Holiday Niseko fellas hooked it up! Travel time was long and we made all the connections and bus. That was a nice start to the trip. Kop and I have been here so we had a idea as to what we were in for, but Terry and Cam well that was another story. 

With a first night hang and bed behind us we headed out for a Friday morning for some famous North Island pow. Needless to say it was found. 

Rode with Perrin from Niseko Holiday for a while on day one. He showed us some lines and was ripping. Introduced the boys to the sweet Japan pow, styles, and people.  

Super fun? Yes! 

Mad Cam beyond the Gondola. 

Terry Hyped to rip so much bottomless pow. 

So much energy. Happy humans doing happy things.

We came home for lunch and everyone in our sweet third floor spot. With so much travel coupled with lag and a drink or two the floor seemed to be moving. We looked around at each other and wondered if the other could feel it too. The earth was moving, it was a earthquake, about 3 or 4 in our area. 

We watch TV as the tsunami came in. Crazed, we ran some errands and took in a night session. When we returned we saw the massive destruction all over the media. Our hearts go out to all those who lost life, family, friends, and belongings. 

The second day we decided to ride away from it and rip some more pow in a new zone. 

Cam practicing with some tail. 

Great crew day two. More to come. Long story short, this is what it's all about. 

Ultraman Revisited

-Loved this show as a kid. Makes me think of my next destination. Last time we were in Hokkaido we build a jump on Nakayama pass which we apply called the Ultraman. Well here's to Ultraman 2! If you want to go to Japan hit up Ashley and his crew Holiday Niseko. Killing it. 


-Rome SDS crew is haunting the middle presently. Look for Larry's good looks, Listen for Lazz's vocal lashing, spy Viktor swooning the ladies, and be still you might see a Mark Wilson. 


-Events Events Events. Just saying if you be your facebook, hello it's blowing up. Late season is always loaded with fun times. Make it count. 


-Have you noticed the mass amount of MN b roll out in the mix?! Big Things. 


Thank you to all the shops and homies for all the support this season. Although it's not over, I thought that need to get shouted out.

Corduroy Lifestyles Presents Corduroy Shorts #9 Test Fest

Posse Bomb sessions revel the truth behind the lens of real vs surreal. Partying into the late night with all ages loosens the vanity of youth. The cold screw turns intensify the volume in which one may consume. All in a harmonious blend of ego, tech, and hustle. AH the demo.
