Robot Unicorns Attack!!!!!

Well aspen open was fun i guess? Snow and some wack judging is what happened (condolences to McRae Williams, who got royally screwed in semis).

However it wasn't a total failure. The Polar Bear (Mr. Jeff Keisel) got himself into finals with some super steezy runs that consisted of (gasp) NOT A SINGLE DOUBLE FLIP!!!! Bout time someone with steeze gets noticed! Leo and Keefer both made it to semis. Unfortunutly Leo came up short on one of the jumps during practice and strained his knee, he fought through the pain and laid down a solid run to get him into semis. Lets just say he threw the most ridiculous back flip off a massive jump to seal the deal!

Besides the comp we also shredded around the mini park. During this shredding we filmed a little edit. Yeah thats right...ROBOT UNICORN ATTACK

Some Aspen Open

So this weekend is the aspen open up at buttermilk. The contest is on the X games course so its pretty sweet. Wednesday was the first and only full day of practice before the qualifiers on saturday. All sorts of PC friends and most of the steeniez ski homies are out here. Thirdward West just put out an edit of the practice and Nick, Leo and Crow have a few shots in it. Lets just say nick has the most banger opening shot ever!

Thursday also had the halfpipe qualifiers with mini shred and all round slayer Andy Partridge competing. Big ups to Andy for making it to semi's which are going down today!

Check back later for a possibly epic edit coming from some homies out here!

Some Pow Mow Shredding

Last week Colorado native and filmer Scott Klumb made his way out to Utah to film at Pow Mow. While the weather wasn't the best and it didn't really snow like expected Scott made the most of his time and was able to put together a lil edit. I was lucky enough to have Weston call me and ask to come shred for one day and see if we could bang some shots out for Scott. It was definitely a good time and I'm thankful for the opportunity.
