On the last day of the WSSF Bind Mute Productions and Crispin Lipscomb put together an art show in Function Junction. Blind Mute took care of the artists and Crispin decided it would be a good idea to get a bunch of white Ipath shoes that could be painted and then were auctioned which raised a total of $725 for the Whistler Skateboard Association. The event had a good vibe and a whole lot of sweet art from over 50 different artists. Thanks goes out to Pepe and Randy at Blind Mute Productions, Crispin Lipscomb and all the artists for making the event possible and thinking of the Whistler Skateboard Association.

I did a little interview with Parker Newman about his new skateboard design community website: POPDECK.COM . It’s a pretty cool concept where anyone can submit their own drawings/graphics and the community votes on which boards should go to production. If you win, your design goes to production for a limited run of 20 units, where anyone can buy boards for $40 and you get a board and $200. Read the Interview on 33mag.com and be sure to enter the contests to win a board. Different contests on 33mag and SkateboardVillage.com.

Been awhile since I made a post. Since my last update I went to Tofino with Sarah to get away from some work and just relax. We stayed in this sweet bed and breakfast and just took it super easy. We went on a bunch of hikes in the woods and I used my flashes for the second time. It was really nice to get out of town and use my camera on a little road mission.
Logs, About to get washed away by wave, Pathway, and Tofino beach.
I also flew home (Montreal) unexpectedly for my great grandmother’s funeral, 97 years old. It was a good time for her to go, she lived a great healthy life. While I was in Montreal we got dumped with snow. March 8th, was the funeral so my folks, bro and I commuted to Lachute for the ceremony and then I ended up getting dropped off in Avila for Axis slope-style contest. The finals were actually cancelled to harsh snow conditions. I caught up with some old buds and had one hell of a pow day on Avila, which doesn’t happen often. So I started heading home with my bud Mike in the snow storm, we ended up having to take a detour since the highway was closed. After an hour or so on the road in deep snow Mikes tranny started to slip. Mike had fixed his tranny a few times and was bummed to see that he would have to fix it again. We debated just going to his house and making other arrangements for me to get home, but I convinced him to go for it. So as soon as we pull off at my exit his car dies in the middle of an intersection. Long story short, its midnight and we leave the car overnight and call CAA to get it towed. We end up waiting at my house for a phone call but end up passing out, we wake up the next day and 18 hrs later CAA is still backed up towing cars out of ditches. So we call all the private tow companies in the book and finally find one to help us. I was planning on getting some fresh turns with my pops, but am pretty beat dealing with the car. The rest of my trip was a blast, it always is nice to come home to see my folks and old friends.

Today Westbeach stepped up and organized one hell of a dope ass event. There are different types of snowboard events out there but this one definitely was prob. one of my favorite events that I have participated in. Next year I want to race. Dave Rouleau, Dave Brockelbank from Gnarcore.com, Pete, Cory, Lucas and I all teamed up to cover the event. It’s 1am and we got a jam packed news post on Gnarcore.com of some of the highlights and will be working on the video over the next few days. Well, actually some of the guys will because I am off to Tofino on Sunday to relax for a day or so. 5 out of 6 tapes logged already and Im take a peak at some of my pics. More content to come…

Johnny “Fatts” Conway from ATG Media has been working on a short film and sees to change the way films are distributed. Instead of filming all season to create one video with different riders parts. The “Translocation” project aims to take a different approach at delivering it’s content. The videos will come out in Shorts highlighting each location riders visit throughout the year.The above video is the first release and features the riding of Andrew Burns and highlights from Craig Beaulieu and Chris Coulter.

Super excited to have GnarCore.com finally online. All of their films including this years “The Power Normal” is online for free through a streaming full screen flash player. A higher quality download will be available in a few days. Thanks goes out to Kole from Zapp worx who put the site together. I would of liked to be completely in charge of the production but I had a few other projects I was working on at the beginning stages of the site. I am really happy with the way everything turned out and am looking forward to contributing to the site. I got some Billabong Ante Up footage logged and will try and get that edited up in the next few weeks. GnarCore.com will be updated on a regular basis with blogs, videos, photo galleries and much more.
