So finals day … comp on hold cuz of the wind from 8:30 … until 13:30.

Ahhhm Japanese fans, nothing else to say.

The media monkeys in full expresion. Shaun White is in the middle by the way.

Another one. All of them trying to get the guy in the sky shot publish in the local newspaper with the 70-200 mm. Good times.

it’s really amazing how many crews are around … specially in the good days. So many people going out there, racing to get to the well know spots. That’s kind of what happend here. After we driving around for a while, we get to the jumps spot to realize that there’s 2 other crews already there. Ups!. I jump into plan B quickly and the riders decide to use another run in into another landing, more work but at least we got something. In the pic, Crew 1 and Crew 2 checking the work done by Crew 3.

Nick Poohachoff working on the take off over the rocks ….scary. Those rocks were taking riders down later on …

Crew 1 saying “kiss my ass” to Crew 2 and 3, ready to go to another spot.

Quick session at Heavenly, Nick Poohachoff needed a few shots, so we started at the park, waitin for the weather to clear.

Then Spencer Falls showed up and we went to hit this mini jump. Here’s the boys doin some team work.

Jumps done, shots done and some happiness all around the place, hahaha, can you see?

Day off from the resort, but not from snowboarding!. After hours urban session. First, the spot above, a picture of the run in that Nick Poohachoff is workin on.

And then another spot, a skinny round wood rail. Aaahhh!!!. Scary. Stefi Luxton stoked on the rail.

The looks from the run in. Pretty tight.

Yeap, that’s right, a Rail Jam hosted by a Casino. It’s Nevada baby. Actually the name should be Box Jam. I decided not to shoot, so I was foolin around with my point and shoot. Good fun, nothing serious. Here’s a gallery.

And a couple of videos.

I finally met with Nick “Pooch” Poohachoff, we were playing seek and hide between Colorado and Tahoe for a couple of weeks. No shooting today, he did the Dew Tour and I was sore from sleding the day before, but I did some follow cams in the park. Here’s the video.

A few steps from the chairlift and … here we are, at the Cardrona “Backcountry”. Some “not that” fresh snow, a few rocks and let’s shoot with Joram Makuru and Nick “Pooch” Poohachoff.
