Nothing to post about!

Dang since RB Shlittentag, I've had nothing to really talk about except the craziest damn college parties we've done with the MXT so far!!! hahaha. Rolled the MXT down to Champaign IL this past weekend to hook the kids up during their Unofficial parties. Man they were off the chain. First day the coppers just weren't having us at all! Two spots shut down at both! hahaha.

The next day we got over to EIU and damn son do those kids know how to party! So nutz! First party was great, then they ran out of drink and some dumbass kids hucked an egg at a cop car! hahaha, that ended that party pretty damn quick. After that we rolled out to a frat hose. It was pretty cool not as busy but the kids were way rowdier. Just got done cleaning the rig from that party. There was mud on the TV screens! Damn you EIU kids get out of hand! hahaha. Anyway that wrapped up a rad weekend. This weekend I head to a Buttercup at Devil's Head Resort then roll out to NYC for the Red Bull Arena grand opening. Planning on taking the camera with me out there. Maybe catch some epic photos of who knows what! hahaha

Red Bull Winch Sessions!

Dang! Its been quite the week! We finally got the rig back from the shop with a brand new motor in it! Thanks to Boyer Trucks for taking damn good care of me and makin' sure the problems with the truck got dealt with properly this time! So we should be set and runnin' for a while now!

Alex Horner the video guy for Red Bull Winch Sessions bailed on us for the beginning of the week. So I head out to the Miller Compound for a fun session with Alex Miller, Josh Tranby, and Shane. After quick session we start talking about getting the spot ready for the shoot a couple days away. So many ideas was flowing that I thought a fight was gonna break out! hahaha Thursday rolled around and we headed out to get a shot at Tilsner Gap with Josh...that didn't so hot, he locked on then fell damn near 15' to flat on his heels. From talking to Josh today he still hasn't been able to walk normal yet! He bruised those suckers up good trying to get the shot! We'll be back to claim that sucker this spring yet! After that shoot we headed straight to the Miller's Compound to get crankin' on the BIG multi feature. Shawn Rowland who has a local back yard set up as well hooked up us up with some rad pre-made features to sprinkle about the set up, so Thanks Shawn! Super appreciate the use of your stuff! We cracked off a few shots, George took a rib shot on the wall we had set up. So two down in a day. Peeps are getting tired!


Headed in with Horner and we cracked out the interview crapola. These guys are hilarious should make for some funny stuff in the edit. Friday I loaded up and rolled home to Chicago.


Saturday got up bright and early to run up to Red Bull Schlittentag in Alpine Valley WI. So sick. Its like Red Bull Flugtag for snow. So much fun! The best guys were the cats that were skiers, they tossed big time! Helmet cam coming soon! hahaha


Anyway don't expect any posts really this week. Headed to meetings...laaaame! hahahaha

van rallyin' and Life is Good 2!

Whoa! What a weekend it was! Started Saturday off bright and early down at Red Bull Open ice, it was pretty ill. A team from Minnesota rep'd well and took the top spot over all the other teams, I spent the day helpin' set up the after party spot with the local crew...we had to carry a couple hundred pound DJ stand up a couple flights of stairs because it didn't fit in the damn elevator. Note to builders: Next time measure some shit out and stick some wheels on it so its easier to move, damn!. Spent Saturday evening runnin' the drunk bus for the hockey players. So rad. If they'd never been scared in a shuttle bus they sure as hell have been now! hahaha. I put my cat like reflexes to work along with my ability to hammer on the gas harded then a nascar driver to get the athletes back and forth as fast as possible cuz we all now time is money! hahaha. A couple close calls with some buses, a ped or tw, ando we had ourselves one hell of a good time! New York team was a riot mooning every car we were next too! To much that crew was, I even got a 4:30am wake up call from them. Thanks guys! (Buck flippin' the middle finger, hahahaha)

Sunday morning started bright and early at 6:30am, rallied some Red Bull up to Pugfest a XC mountain bike race run on a track groomed to a snowy perfection by Dirtwirx the trail crew at Hillside Park, Elk River, MN. Wanna see some crazy athletes, that's the place to go! Such a cool event! From there I headed to the Miller's complex. They have transformed their yard into a one of a kind winch playground. After doing a single test run on all the features with the Red Bull winch we decided everything was good to go for the contest. We headed inside to get some grub! Thanks to George for wippin' up some great scrambled eggs and toast, that was clutch after almost no sleep! We headed back outside got the course all dialed in and groomed up and got to winchin'. Illest day I've spent on the winch in a long time. Riders were slayiin' the course! Riders with a wake background definitely had an advantage. A cat named JD was doin' the raddest tantrums over the big gapper, Josh Tranby was slayin' the mulit feature. Check the video that WCCO put on the TV.

Life is Good 2!

Winch sessions on the roll!

So stoked! The last two days we have been killin' it with our winch session shoots. Sunday we built up a hit, showed up yesterday after dark to get the prime shooting conditions we were looking for and it was a grand slam!Riders were sending their tricks, Alex Horner was on hand documenting the madness, and Ryan Taylor was there gettin' the shot! Jordan, Tranby, and Alex M straight killed it all night long, takin' pull after pull so the protographers could get the shot. Then some of the local ST Paul PD showed up and cheered us on for an hour or so then did a Superbad style exit blowin' some mad donuts all the way out of the parking lot! hahaha So sick! Once we wrapped there we rallied across town to another shoot we had lined up with Skier Steve and Willie. These guys had a big 'ol step down gap deal set up over the top of this concrete wall, 100% blind take off to a quick sniper tranny.So it was pretty rad to see those guys sendin'. they know we are trying to get some shit done so they were running back up and hittin' over and over until about 3am. So sick to see these guys gettin' it done. They were takin' some hard hits and getting right back up to do it again! This afternoon we hooked back up with Tranby and Jordan to kill another spot, got some dope shots in and tomorrow we are hittin' it super early to get some shots with Tranby on this super huge gap...Should be insanely epic, I'll have photos of the hit tomorrow as we wrapped up the night building and getting everything ready to go for tomorrow mornings shoot!

Keep 'r pinned!

More Winchin' and BAT down!

Dang what a hectic couple days! Back in the shop with the rig and they had it stripped down to the block! They are going through testing it part by part and can't seem to find the issues. Should know more by the end of the day tomorrow! So we went and grabbed the winch off the rig and went out today to do some damage. Started out as a beautiful blue bird day and quickly turned into a snowy crappy day. So we built up this hit, did a couple run ins and decided to come back and a later date. So to be continued. This week we'll be out everynight winchin' so hopefully I'll have some more pics for ya all to peep. The global finals for Red Bull Open Ice are this weekend at Lake Calhoun, I'll be out there for the duration stop by and say what up!

Winchin'!

What up folks!

Been a crazy week! After Open Ice went down we started lockin' in winch stuff for Red Bull Winch Sessions. Was going great till we had a nasty spill with one of the guys we've been working with George Miller, he slays it up here along with his bro Alex Miller who brought us to this spot. So dope. Took yesterday off to chill with family, now I'm up in Roger MN gettin' the rig looked at something is messed up with the heat again.... Next time I'll have some photos of a dope spot we are lining up to winch in the next couple days!
