What’s my lap time?

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

We are doing everything possible to keep our minds off the upcoming snow season that is quickly approaching, snow in the Wasatch, shitchyea! Lately, we have been exploring some of Utah’s finest recreation with the Saga Outerwear friends and family. Turning and burning go karts is the answer, non of that imitation stuff, these are the real deal at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah. You can get deadly on these and we would expect nothing less to have a good time. Below Andy forges a signature on the waiver while Wiley blesses jah for karting.

Andy Partridge came to race.

Moon senders.

They scrambled for kart #14, “but it’s the fastest”, you better bring home a trophy.

The area to the right was the fastest part of track, I got all the beta.

Miller getting aggro on the turns, he brought his own helmet, that’s enough to say he wasn’t here to loose.

Scott hit “the puddle”, should have seen the rest of him.

Tony showing the proper straight-away form.

Now i’m just being the track photographer.

Look who got kart #14, hmmmmm.

Alright enough go kart photography but trust me there is more, it was a tubular time being out there with the homies.

Austin and I even stacked enough footage during the afternoon that I could cut together this Days of Thunder style edit, low fives for a job well done. How epic is the native flute in the background, Watch the edit already!

Wake Surfing

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

After my injury at Mt. Hood put me out of commish, I got some down time to relax, and think about things other than skiing.  I went to my families lake house and messed around on a wake surfer.  It is amazing how a sport without bindings is so much nicer to your body, no wonder Wolle Nyvelt is so into that noboarding scene.

Wake surfing is as close as you can get to wave surfing, it actually feels the same and you get 10 times the length of the ride, you can ride forever essentially. The wave never ends, its really fun and a good way to get practice for wave surfing in the ocean, so your not just a dead paddler out there, like I usually am.

Water makes up 60% of our bodies, and it seems like I spend at least 60% of my time on snow, or in water.  Summer is not so bad after all.

Glassy cool refreshing water

All the gear is here, shorts and a board, so simple right?

Julies braclets

a different kind of water, muddy yes, fun still? yes

Balance, at least its water.

Good Times in Grizz

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

The Wasatch is finally looking filled in and we’ve been enjoying some great days in the backcountry recently.  A lot of time has been spent in Grizzly Gulch, hitting some really fun jumps and finding delicious pow stashes.  Today we hit a jump I’ve been looking at all season, and under bluebird skies, hammers were dropped.  It was myself, Witt Foster, and our homie Dale Talkington sending this fun little number, getting shots for the next 4bi9 flick.  Friend and photog Max Webb snapped these epic photos and was kind enough to let me blog ‘em!

Buttering out of some switch pow turns. yummy.

Witt gets real steezy on this cork 7. Stomp.

Kevin Steen, he gets the shot.

Switch 7 Blunt, beautiful Little Cottonwood scenery

keep it movin
