Friday Video: “Oh the Quality!”
When I’m skiing amazing powder, I’m generally not prone to whooping it up like many people. For some reason, using the brain power to think about something to say whilst getting hammered with face shots is energy misspent. I’d rather be focusing on the sensations and internalizing it all instead of releasing it in a…

Friday Video: Niños Jugando en Patagonia
It’s a bit early to post a ski edit, simply because there’s no skiing in Utah right now. But if you go to South America, there’s all the snow you need this time of year to farm some corn and shoot tons of video documenting the experience of skiing in the summer. We’ve been posting…
Friday Video: Candy Mountain Fun
Mountain bike videos, like ski movies, are usually just a jumbled collection of radical-dude shots edited together with flash frames and sick slo-mo that make Red Bull chuggers get the vapors. But it is possible to make a mountain bike video that actually tells a story (you know, a narrative that has a beginning, middle…
