Volcom ‘9191’ Review
9191 focuses on my two favorite things about snowboarding: shredding powder and riding with the homies. 9191 takes a new approach to making a snowboarding film. In lieu of a traditional team video, Volcom created a movie based on the travels of Gigi Ruf. … read more
The Arena Premiere @ U of U Fine Arts Hall...
It seems that the question for riders of our generation is: What to wear. Tight pants or baggy? Which school of thought do you associate with: tree-huggin’, g-thuggin’ or tight-pants, wide stance? How do you decide? The pros you look up to are a good indication of what size you buy your pants… … read more
Jeremy Seegmiller: Too Hot to Handle
Last May, a small but dedicated group of friends and fellow shredders, including Jeremy Seegmiller and I, made the trek up to Mt. Hood. The plan was simple: shred, camp and rage, all while being as dirtball as possible. About two weeks into the adventure, things went terribly awry. A thirty-bomb of Milwaukee’s Beast, a can of white gas, and an unruly campfire later, Seegmiller was in the Portland burn center with second-degree burns covering most of his legs. … read more
F*#@ It Premiere @ The Complex 10.15.10
Forum knows a few things about diversifying their riders—and I’m not just talking about Stevie Bell. Forum’s new movie Fuck It brings something to the table for all types of shredders to snack on. More than any other movie that dropped this fall, Fuck It covered all the shred basics– urban jibs, massive park jumps and backcountry powder goodness.

Summer Huh? Almost Made It!
A late June Sunday usually calls for a celebration, a picnic or BBQ with the family, maybe even a bowling outing. Not this Sunday, nope this year on Sunday, June 20th, marked the end of yet another epic winter in Utah’s Wasatch Canyons. Snowbird welcomed the snow community for one last rendezvous 11,000 feet up from sea level. With over 600 inches of snowfall this past season, the Bird was able to extend our beloved season almost into summer (marked by June 21st, also Go Skate Day! What a week!). Despite warm temps and the rapidly depleting base, conditions were far better than most could have expected and made for some spectacular riding and skiing.

Photo Feature: Chris Grenier
Every year, I think I’ve taken my last photo at the rail garden but somehow this place just keeps producing shots. I had just gotten home the day before from a long, somewhat disappointing trip to the midwest in search of this very kind of snowboarding. I was up at Brighton taking some soul runs to get the stoke back and got a call from Grenier to come shoot something at the rail garden. … read more
