Back To School….your kilming me here..(lame pottery joke)

Friday, March 19th, 2010

On a boring Tuesday Morning we received a call from our friend/Kyler Cooleys Girlfriend Ms. Porter.  She happened to finish class early and invited Alex “Legit” Altmann and Myself in to throw some clay on the wheel.

As you can see Alex displayed great form and payed attention while Ms. Porter was instructing us on operation of the wheel deal.

As you may notice my wheel isn’t spinning.  I shunned all tutalidge aside thinking to myself, “Hey, I’ve seen the movie “GHOST” and if Patrick Swayze can do this so can I.”  Unfortunately I epically failed and decided to sculpt without assistance of the wheel.

I made my friend Scott (misspelled intentionally on the mug SKOTT if you look closely) a birthday coffee mug.  I’m hoping he doesn’t cut his lip on the rim, I’ll have to use a ton of glaze before Ms. Porter Kilms aka fires it for me.

My second cup I made for myself turned out quite a bit better.

I also made this really crappy bank Deal.  Lucky for me, Ms. Porter invited us back next week to finish these projects and hopefully do some more.  Alex made a bowl and a cup, I was to jealous of his to take a picture.

My good friend Troy Costa decided to make a short slow mo edit with Myself, Jonathan Chandler, Michael Ferrante, and Chris Larro.

Enjoy!

Yet Another View on Chads

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

MIKE WILSON was the one who decided to film Chad’s Gap for his TV Show.

HARRISON COLE is the main filmer who follows Mike around the World to film for his TV show.

Harrison took some of these Screen Shots from his RED CAMERA.

He took them to send to Jonny Decesare so he knew that CHADS GAP was going down.

A nice Lifestyle on the lip of Chads.

A Speed check, 50 to Zero in 30 feet.

Pump the brakes.

Leo Ahrens gives it a check.

Getting there, shovel by shovel

Long Day of shoveling, I had to stay positive.

Chads Gap The Spectators Perspective

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

We got an E-mail at Saga Outerwear from a guy who was skinning up the Gulch March 6th and got a great view of our Chads gap session.  The reaction is funny, and I am happy the guys know that I am OK.  I am OK.  You are going to have to wait for the movie Revolver to see the close up zoomed in shots ( I had to watch it twice to even see the speck fly across the youtube video).  The guy names the video Kangaroo, maybe it looked like that from far away, but it was a double flip.

Not a Windlip, a Moraine

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Today was my first day out in the helicopter and it was a good day to check things out and get myself ready for this trip.  I am strong as a horse and after today I am feeling ready for the next couple of sessions we are gonna have up here with Pep and Dane Tudor.

We went to this cool feature, it is a big glacial moraine.  It appeared smaller from the heli. Once we got down there it was way bigger than it looked!  It had a ton of flat bottom and we thought we were just going to be able to boost off it.  A moraine is a big trench of glacial debris left by a receding glacier.  It makes for a nice steep landing thats for sure.

I want to thank Smith and Atomic for helping make this trip possible, and of course Saga, Look for more daily updates from south east coastal ALASKA.

Go Pro outta control, Pep and Julien

This is a Moraine, it is way bigger in person, when I skied up to it I was suprised.

The speed of the blade is too much for my little Iphone, it looks like we lost a blade captain
