Temper tantrums, tightrope walking, and the snowy south Denver streets
I encountered this business complex during my first night of exploring the snowy streets of Denver, CO in February 2015. It was hard to convince myself that I would actually ride down the terrifying ledge coming off the...
I'm sure you are all familiar with the bunch. Some may have found their first two full length films, "Far out" and "Finesse" hard to wrap their head around, while others have acclaimed the flicks a work of genius. The Bunch continue to evolve, seemingly oblivious to the hype surrounding their...
Due to budget cuts and ongoing pressure from sponsors (Red Bull Media), last Wednesday we were forced to make some late season modifications to the team. We pride ourselves in featuring highly motivated energetic athletes in our annual films but every so often certain riders “burn out” and can’t...
There is no doubt that skiing is the ultimate form of satisfaction. Spending your days deep in the mountains, building spots through the night in the city or lapping the park on a sunny spring day is just hands down the best way to spend one's time. Off the top of my head I can't really come up...
Lets get one thing straight, a summer at Mount Hood is probably not for you. I'm sure you've seen plenty of Windells edits, glorifying the summer shred lifestyle, full of smiling 13 year old rich kids and perfectly manicured parks but for the most part this is an image fabricated by filmers and...
Matt Heffernan is no stranger to the Utah ski scene. After spending last summer living out of his car in the Oregon woods he has spent his fifth and possibly best winter yet in the beehive state. On any given day you can find Matt slaying handrails in downtown Salt Lake, going on tours miles...
A little delayed on this post but, between finals, skiing, and traveling home..I wasn’t too focused on tumblr. I’ve made it back to SLC just in time for the new year and to get a bunch of days in skiing before my final semester starts back up. My schedule is set up for 12 credits as well as...
As a little background, I grew up hitting rails in Ohio because when it snowed, the park was too slow and flat to ski. Since I've moved to Utah I haven't had much luck hitting urban between getting busted and injuries.
Over the past few seasons, I've watched street skiing take such a fresh and...
SUMMER2K13
Late June: Sandy Glacier: Mike Briggs, Meeks, Maximilliam Smith
"Last chair!" The Palmer chairlift operator gave the daily 2 o'clock shout letting skiers know that their long day of shredding was soon coming to a close. This late June afternoon most every skier on Hood was heading...
It was July first and Danny "Freed" Schwartz was stoned out of his mind standing on top an in-run of the biggest hit he had ever stepped up to. The Palmer lift might be the most well known chairlift in summer ski operations around the world and it just happens to play home to an enormous...

The shit show of a summer started out in May when an army of cops tore through a birthday party...
It was mid March when Mike Briggs took his final test before spring break 2k13. Biking home from the University of Utah he had one thing in mind, stacking some banger shots for The Hood Crew's newest movie "Freed the Streets". Upon arriving at his house, he received conformation from the crew's...
