January 23/24

Above is a photo of Gord that I shot yesterday while we were filming. We have been filming a lot in the last couple days and are seeing some good results. We have had night missions, bowl sessions, and powder in the last 2 days alone. We have a new addition to the crew. Andrew just moved in from the island and we are all stoked to have him riding with us! I will post a few more pictures later.

New things!

For our first time ever we have been trying to shoot street stuff. I realize we are pretty behind on this. I would say we had a very successful first try at a late night mission last night. Maybe its beginners luck? We are hoping its not!

Things i learnt today

hookay so...

tip number one:

Dont drink to much apple juice(around a litre) and hit the slopes...

Bad things could happen and you dont wanna know what!

Update

Its been a busy week for everyone. Tristan, Scott, Gord, and Brock headed to Revelstoke last week to check out the new mountain. From what I have seen in the footage they had a ton of fun. Mac and I headed to a slopestyle contest at Big White. The full park is up at Sun Peaks now and its super fun. I will try to get a new blog video soon.

Jeffs photos

Jeff Conner came up with us the other day and took some photos. 

Thanks jeff! Check out more of Jeffs photos!

Slam Poem 1

From play dates to hookah mondays

With these times in which we live

I laughed at the thought we will ever be the same

But lets get real here, who's keeping track

And for anyone who is, good luck keeping up

There's been highs, and lows, who are we kidding? They were all highs

And I'm not talking those crazy stereotypical 70's highs either

I'm Talking the real deal! The whole Shibang!

Take me to the riot, young hearts be free tonight

King of like, making love, while listening to Death From Above

So what I am trying to say is...

Bob Dylan said it best, the times they are a changing

So there I lie, awake in bed

Reminiscing on the days to come and the teachings of Don Juan

When I realized!

So what if I like slam poetry more than sportsnet?

If there is a problem, then two protein shakes on me bro

and sorry chief, I didn't realize you were in the fuckin zone!

    Burning passion, hot sex! Tyrannosaurus Rex?

    There I go again with procrastination

     On and on kind of like life right?

Pause Not! Lets face it were getting older by the minute

So a jagger bomb to you my friend

and Three for me! Cause god knows this poem couldn't get any worse!

What I am trying to say is

Mr. Dylan Put it best, the times the are a changing

Now most importantly ... tight pants wide stance

Keys to life right there my friend, I'm serious

Memorize it, write it down, for god sakes i'll text it to you

Just trust me on this one guys, you'll live to thank me

Stick it to the man! And be down for the fuckin' cause

You know the drill, dance like no one is watching

and belt out your favorite Maverick Way tune

Your only given one of these things called life

Which makes me wonder how you guys sat through this entire, awful poem

So heres to Maverick Way, Party Bar, and Rippa Pub

Sir Bob Dylan said it best

The Times they are a changing

-Mac Lefebvre

Fun Run

It may seem from our blog like we have a monkey that holds the camera and rides behind us. I can assure you that this isn't entirely true. We are trying to balance gathering footage for our movie while still trying to entertain the internet world with B footage snowboarding. To make sure we aren't getting all super sweet footage all the time we like to take runs with the camera in our hands the whole way, passing it around like a hot potato. Heres a video from today! (with special guest Daruda!)

Bad days?

Every once in a while you come across a day at the hill when the only thought that goes through your head is, "maybe tomorrow will be better?" Today was one of those days. The tourists have packed the snow on the hill down to ice with a thin layer of dust to slow you down. The lift lines were still long. Tripods are still heavy. Mac realized his board was broken (probably from the switch euro carves we were doing all morning!) This video would have been longer, possibly cooler, except the camera got to wet and decided to not work anymore. So this is a video that was never meant to be good, just a reminder that bad days are still fun.

New Years!

Happy New Year! Sunpeaks First Flight Demo went down last night. Mac, Tristan, and Gord all rode well. Some sweet tricks were thrown down for the skiers too. Finally got some filming done during the day too. Hopefully we can be less lazy in the near future and get some stuff done!
