Return to Thunderdome

Friday, September 11th, 2009 | No Comments »

With all the kids starting back at school, the summer has finally come to a close.  If it weren’t for the numerous snowboard video premieres coming in the next few weeks, I’d probably be bummed.  But I’m not.  Soon the sky’s will turn grey and the clouds will unleash that beautiful white fluffy powder, and snowboard season will be here.

I’m really looking forward to a good winter.  Having completed my internship with Snowboarder Magazine, I am back from California.  It was an incredible opportunity to redesign and rebuild Snowboarder’s website from scratch.  I learnt an incredible amount in the 8 weeks of design and development, and am looking forward to continuing development on their site! The guys at the mag are a great group of people, and so HUGE shoutouts to everybody back there in Cali!

Since being back for almost 3 weeks, I’ve only spent 2 nights in my own bed.  For some reason, I’ve decided to travel throughout the interior of British Columbia and elsewhere. I kind of feel like Mad Max, hence the post title. I’ve also been spending some time in Vancouver and have really taken to this city. I’m going to do my best to actually move out here and spend at least a year on the coast.  The fact that the ocean and the mountains are so close is incredible, and I don’t want to miss the opportunity to experience the city.  And speaking of ocean’s I leave you with a pic of me learning to Wake-Surf.  It’s not really an ocean, its just Shuswap Lake, but enjoy nonetheless.

Just wrapped up a new project!  Dubs Brothers Films is a production company based out of Fernie, BC and and currently Stirling, Ontario. The company was founded in 2006 by Matt Westcott and is a reflection of his love for film, sport and his roots in East Kootenay mountain culture. The company run by two very good friends of mine, Matt and Thommy Westcott, and I’m extremely proud of their work and super stoked to have the opportunity to collaborate on their site with them.

Everybody needs to check out Extra.Ordinary. An HD insight into the overlooked shred habits of everyday riders. The film is currently in production and will be available in September. Pre order your copy today, just send the boys a message! You can also watch the trailer for Extra.Ordinary!

Check out their site, they’ve got some sick footy!

It Was Magical

Sunday, July 19th, 2009 | No Comments »

I use to joke with my brother about never going to Disneyland as a kid, and how it totally ruined my childhood. We were never really serious because we had never been to Disneyland and didn’t really know what it was about. Of course we knew it was full of people dressed up in Mickey Mouse costumes and you could ride the Mad Hatter’s Tea Cup ride, but we really didn’t understand the “magic” of it.

Well at the rip age of 24, I finally made it to Disneyland.

It was magical.
