Sammy Carlson and Scott Rowley Bike for Autism

David — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 22:26:14 +0000

Three time X Games medalist Sammy Carlson and his best friend Scott Rowley recently biked over a thousand miles from Oregon to Utah with the goal of promoting autism awareness. The trip, which they called Hood River 2 Ogden (H20) took ten days. Along with promoting awareness, H20 also has a goal of raising $25,000 for Talk About Curing Autism (TACA), a company that provides support and information to families affected by autism.

One in every 91 children is diagnosed with autism or an autism spectrum disorder. This is the fastest growing disorder in the United States. As of now H20 has raised 10% of their $25,000 goal for TASA. Please donate to this important cause! Visit www.tacah2o.com to donate or to learn more.

CWGKA Throwdown Video

David — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 07:25:50 +0000

I first heard of the Chicken Wings and Grape Kool Aid Throwdown on Skidazzle.com. A snowboarding competition in the middle of June? I wasn’t sure what it was going to be like and I didn’t know anyone who was going. As I was driving up the Los Angeles Crest Highway I got to a stretch with a mass amount of cars. I saw a patch of snow in the distance and slowed to a stop, leaving my camera in the car. I walked up to find “The Patch”, a last bit of winter lingering in what was almost mid summer.

I grabbed my equipment and filmed the rest of the day, getting a killer farmer’s tan in the process! I had a lot of fun at this event. I saw lots of talent, along with all the great falls you saw in the previous blooper video. The event was put together by Snowdogg Carter and sponsored by S4 Optics, Flow Snowboarding, Anenberg, Thug Bunniez, Revolucion, Tyrant Snowboards, NXTZ, and Thug Crew.

It was split into three groups; Women, Grom, and Men, with three winners in each. Women: 1st Melissa Spillman, 2nd Jamie Madrid, 3rd Kaz Palomino. Grom: 1st Gilbert Madrid, 2nd Sean, 3rd Moe Kastari. Men: 1st Jared McDaniels, 2nd Ryan Dougherty, 3rd (and best trick) Mike “Broke off” Eggleston.

I decided to bump this video in front of the others. I felt that time was an issue and wanted to finish it before the summer ended. The song featured in the video is Get Better John by Mux Mool. It’s a great song from a promising artist.

Enjoy!

Youthful Days – Park City Video

David — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 23:51:39 +0000

Youthful Days, our latest video, showcases some awesome skiers and snowboarders at Park City Mountain Resort!

The goal was to make this video reflect the fun and exciting atmosphere that day on the slopes. We needed to find an awesome song to make this work.

We found the ideal tempo for the video with the song Undercover Martyn by Two Door Cinema Club.

As you can see in the video, King’s Crown Terrain Park is one of the best parks around! It attracts amazingly talented skiers and snowboarders with its world-class jumps, jibs, and pipe!

We utilized the editing process so that the tempo of the video would keep up with the upbeat song. The rhythm of this video is similar to our Mountain High video and our second Bear Mountain video.

You might notice a few things we added to Youthful Days. We wanted to continue exploring the use of motion graphics in our videos using Apple’s Motion. We like the way subtle graphics adds something new and different to our videos. We would love to know what you think of this added touch!

Enjoy!!
