The Big Show

This weekend Mackey and I adventured up to Aspen for the X-Games. We drove up Friday night and stayed with some friends in Beaver Creek. Woke up early Saturday morning to the smell of a mans sized breakfast and then took a few runs at BC. Then off to the games. I am working on an edit so keep a look out for that coming soon.

Our Breakfast for Saturday

Jeremy and me

 

Macks and Jeremy

 We got to hang out with Jeremy for a little bit and met his family. Super nice people! Got to check out his board for next year. It looked and smelled really good.
The snowboard street event was way cooler to watch for me than the big air and even the super pipe. I can actually understand the tricks that were happening and think about trying those myself. probly wouldn't actually land most but at least I can figure out how its done. I dont even understand the big air jump and how you can feel so comfortable just hucking your life away over those jumps. Dudes are nuts. And I will never get how Shaun White can get 25 ft above the deck of a 22 ft high half pipe.

Crazy skier going sooo big

Mackey snapped this off of Shaun on his first hit in the super pipe of his winning run

Half pipe was pretty fun. We charged our way through the gates and kinda just "head downed" our way through security and no one ever said anything to us so we just kept going up. We ended up here where Mackey was able to catch this photo. It's wild to have these dudes flying over head so high.

Just finished up my first major, professional video project. Check out www.freeyourlegs.com for the full videos. The website was designed by Mackey Hooker and he did an awesome job.

Thanks to everyone for all your help! More to come in the near future!

Myself,  my wife, and good friend Nate West took a trip to Des Moines for a family/rail filming mission. Unfortunately we got kicked out of some of the best spots but we still managed to get some shots and have some fun. Short Edit coming soon

Merry Christmas

Ugly Christmas Sweater Party

Last night we had our first annual Christmas party at the farm and blew it up with an Ugly Sweater party. It was way fun. It was way cool to see how creative the kids got and how a few of them weren't to cool to be goofy.

These guys did awesome. Got super creative. Best sweaters hands down

Tunnels

Yesterday I was out looking for Jeff and Becca's dog Amos and I found this system of tunnels by our house. Shortly after I found them Nathan Kirkpatrick and my lovely wife gladly volunteered to search them with me. I hate to admit it but I am super claustrophobic and this was really hard for me. Katie was the bravest and went first

One of our stopping points

The tunnel was super tiny. We had to get our longboards and crawl through them on our belly.  Which once we got into the tunnel proved to be super difficult since there was about 2 inches of sand and dirt in the bottom of the tunnel.

After we got a ways into the tunnel we kept getting caught in spider webs and the walls were completely covered in mosquitos. So we decided to bolt. This is Nathan on his way out.

They were pretty gnarly. We couldnt even see the end of them or even a light at the end of it.
