PBP Update: Upside down Butress Revealed

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Shooting continues at Mt. Bachelor through the Month of May. I want winter to last forever, and this winter it seems to be acting that way. LJ Strenio came back from Sweden to hit up the Bachelor Features which are plentiful, yes plentiful. The Wallride Feature went down, a mellow transistion into some bigger stuff to come throughout the month. I was messing around on this wind lip feature and did an outrageously stiff hand drag, I was excited with the photo. LJ and Sammy Carlson just destroyed the gap rail feature, I enjoyed watching them ____ over the gap. Here is some Jonathon Chandler Photography :)

The side of the Wallride had a nice flip jump

Flatspin Japan, name a pro that doesn’t do this trick

Starry Skys, tail riding

Its like 3 wallrides big

Some Spring natural features were lurking in the shadows

I reveal my new Trick… the upside down Butress

Kendama Contest

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Today was a fun day in Oregon, people are still skiing on the mountain and today some fun action went down downtown at Wabi Sabi (a small Japanese shop that sells Kendamas),

Turner helped put on a Kendama contest.  Lots of kids came out to hang out and compete for some special kendama prizes. I personally have never seen so many kids with Kendama’s in one place so it was a fun time to meet some of the kids who are hooked on Kendama.

About 30 kids entered the contest, there was beginner, Intermediate and Advanced categories.  The Local Media was very interested in the new little crafty toy.  The newspaper did an article on the little shop Wabi Sabi and the KOHD news was there to get a story for the 6 o’clock news.  You can check it out here!

The local news came out to cover the event.

Food vendors were out for the event

The game, similar to HORSE played in basketball, elimination rounds were had until the winner was determined

Yet another Battle

Robots on the sidewalk chalked up

Wabi Sabi is the coolest little shop in town
