Turner Thorne put the finishing Touches on his 90 second Kendama Edit, just in time for the new Years Deadline. He is gunning for the win in the Kendama USA contest, to be on the Kendama USA Pro Team. Which means you get to be a kid for the rest of your life, travel to Japan, meet the best kendama players in the world, I hope he wins!
His edit is solid, and I am proud of his accomplishments with this wooden toy, he surpassed my skills on the second day he ever played with one so he no doubt has some gifted abilities with this thing… maybe he is part japanese?
We get really stoked on the photos people post to our fan page on facebook, really cool to see that the gear fits and people are stoked on it! That being said, this cutomer Alex Collison took it to a new level with this vid of his double front off a cornice in the lobster jacket ecto pant, so dicey, send it tone!
Some more customer photos from all around the world, everyone is lookin fresh in their new kits!
We also want to see some pics of people in their new t-shirts when they start arriving, keep us posted.
Skype is the best way to stay in touch. It is like you are actually in the Saga Office when you have a skype video conference. Since I am on the road so much, and there is no place I would rather be (while I am not skiing) would be to be at Saga Headquarters (testing and Sampling new goods, sampling coffee brews from distant lands, re-arranging the furniture, editing Durtschi Diaries the list goes on…) I use Skype to my advantage.
I mean look at these new toys they are playing with they are making a solid collection of rare Pez Pieces.
Waiting patiently for a response from the Saga Office, I don’t want to be interrupting any business calls or meetings, so Sometimes I will wait for hours

Very Rare Batman Pez, I have been searching for this gem for years

So I’ve been a a bit lax with lack of time to blog but with school finally over and the season well upon us you can gurantee some regimented blogging from yours truly this season…. to start the winter off I want to introduce this edit from Freedle Coty from our trip to mt baker and anotehr one he did with rainville and liam to Wolf creek in souther CO….
On December 24th for one day only you can receive 20% off of all purchases in the Saga Online Store of $100 or more. What inspired such a discount you ask? Well the movie Avatar of course! I recommended that everyone go see this film in the theaters so you can get as hyped as us on the special features. Also, go straight to seeing the 3D version, no need to have regrets walking out of the theater, like “the movie was good but I should have seen it in 3D”.
Be advised that all discount purchases are final with no refunds or exchanges. Normal warranty policy does still apply.
This is a Webisode from Last year, but Basically this is what Whistler was like all week!
I am on my way to celebrate Christmas, thanks to Saga for the T-shirts that i am going to wear every day, just like the stinky kid in your math class who uses a lap top in class because his hand writing is to non-legible.
Whistler was great, I am excited I came and am equally happy with the shots I got here, always fun filming, also filmed some Durtschi Diaries which is always fun.
With a few days of down time, I have lost track of what day it was of this whistler trip. Some Avalanche danger kept us grounded and left us with some time to do some urban in Whistler. We did a drop gap and some other fun stuff for Durtschi Diaries, like this Railroad crossing rail that was really fun. Dan Carr took some sick photos as well.
Durtschi Diaries 4 is gonna be fun, I am gonna film my winter Vacation to Alyeska Resort, the Resort that I grew up skiing and where the pow is deep and the crowds are nowhere to be seen!
I also had a blast in Whistler if you were wondering, and I cannot wait to make a ski segment with the terrain up here, I have graduated from Utah sledding, Oregon Sledding, Tahoe Sledding, Montana Sledding school and am ready to take my sledding skills to the vastness of Whistler backcountry (utterly Endless).
THANKS TO BRANDON KELLY FOR TAKING THESE PHOTOS!
This Rail will be in Durtschi Diaries 4, Short yes… but real fun
Saga Facemasks will be selling on the site soon!

Yesterday I went up to the Canyons with Witt Foster and Saga Friends Brady Perron and Sam Webb to hit the 196″ Box named Boxzilla. It was a fun day the box was much easier for snowboarders to hit, I 50/50 it and actually made it to the end. Hennie VJ was there filming for us so he made an edit of the day which is down below for you to watch. This is Steph, she has good taste!
