Just finished up this little edit for the Nimbus Point & Shoot series. My week long Olympic trip compressed into less than four minutes. Enjoy.

Nimbus Independent's - En Route: Departure

Yeah, yeah, slacking with this...came out last Friday, but if you haven't seen it yet, see it now! Official press release below, with a bit of extras...
Nimbus is back. Our first webisode of three for the year; En Route Departure takes viewers on a two month adventure. Skiing everywhere from a North American military base, to Mammoth California, the matterhorn, Rome and finally Monte Bianco in Italy.

En Route Departure is a full length 40 minute ski movie featuring the original Nimbus crew: Pep Fujas, Eric Pollard, Chris Benchetler, Andy Mahre and Blake Nyman. The movie also features Anthony Boronowski, Bene Mayr, Dylan Hood, Christian Sirianni, and friends. The full length version will be available for download starting on March 15th 2010

Point and Shoot is a new video blog series available only at www.nimbusindependent.com. Point and Shoot explores the perspectives of each Nimbus crew member throughout the entire year. Each movie is skier filmed and edited.
Some crew photos from a trip or two and the En Route Short - teaser for the 40 minute feature...

Eric and I, thumbs up ferrr shurrrr

Pep and I, jump prep before sendin'er!

It's easy to get past the lame dialogue at the beginning since the filming/riding is pretty amazing. Makes biking look that much more appealing...

Noise

Thanks to Alex and Ian for introducinge me to Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. Haven't heard a band that gets me yelling their lyrics at the top of my lungs in awhile, especially with their song "40 Day Dream". Highly suggest a listen. If Arcade Fire got you, then this surely will.

Just returned home from a week long stint in Aspen, CO, with my semi-recent new outerwear sponsor, Spyder. It was a super fun time being a part of such a rad team backed by a rad company. Met lots of new people, had some great meetings and shot some quality cat skiing and park shredding photos. Psyched to have a hand in what they're doing and looks like there is some top notch stuff in order for the future.
We had the largest company gathering to date for the company. Almost all the staff and all but two of the athletes were present. In the above photo we got Joss Christenson, Josh Bibby, myself, Julia Mancuso, Jake Zamansky, Daron Rhalves, TJ Lanning, Alex Schlopy, Mitch Gilman, Jess McMillan, Colby West, Ted Davenport, Chris Davenport, Roz Groenewoud and Duncan Adams. Missing a few others in there like my brother Steven, Julian Carr and Tommy Moe. I think we've got a pretty solid roster...
Putting together a Nimbus Point & Shoot edit of the trip so keep your eyes peeled for that.
Thanks Spyder for letting me be a part of the company!!

Ripped this one off of the Surface blog-o-sphere, but that's okay (I know them!!). Haven't been doing much wave catching on the www, but seems as if they have, so thanks for that. Here is a solid little video from the realm outside of skiing. It's good to catch some fresh air...

Here's my man, Big Tone, showing everyone how its truly done. Good work Crook Kid. Ski soon??

Nimbus Independent's - En Route teaser

Eric released this beast earlier this week. Getting me so pumped to ski! A second wind is what I'm needing while skiing 60 degree weather in Aspen right now. The full length version will be released tomorrow (Friday, March 19) and is available at www.nimbusindependent.com. I'm psyched to see it...hopefully you are too!

Under the Rug

Been hammering out some time on my skis the past couple of weeks. It's been good in the Wasatch and we've been working hard to get our share. Nimbus Independent's first webisode of the season will be coming out in less than a week and I'm pumped to see what Eric has put together.
Just got in from another day of snowmoskiing with Joel "Jah Raven" Whalen. It was a decent day as things regularly go, but not quite par in comparison to our current standard.

Anyway friends, this post is more a quick update than anything interesting. Some good content is right around the corner...

And that is a photo of my bathroom rug made out of plastic bags. I like it.

Nimbus Independent's Point & Shoot series

Been editing non-stop the past two days for Nimbus' new series called Point & Shoot. There should be an official release about the series in the coming weeks, but as for now, stay tuned to www.nimbusindependent.com for almost daily videos of our happenings.
Back to editing. Rendering sucks and is extremely boring...
