i absolutely love designing, building, and shooting. there isn't a day that goes by in my life that i don't think about these 3 things. i try and shoot in the snow from october to the end of june. there isn't one genre i like more than the other. park, street, bc jumps, bc big mountain, scenics, all of it has equal value to me. i believe no matter where you are, if there is snow, you can always make something new and different happen. and to the guys hiking and shooting themselves, i've done that and it had its high points. sure its tough, but you are out in the snow hiking to hit a jump or rail and capture the moment on video, how bad can that be? i've been shooting since i was 19, so almost 18 years now at 37 in april. i feel more motivated then ever and i'm stoked that skiing is progressing each and every day; not only in the tricks, but the media as well. i can remember every single shot in this edit like it was yesterday. part of me wishes i would have spent a week or so editing this, but really, who cares? i don't. i have a place in my heart for all the skier's and snowboarders shown, without them, i wouldn't have the smile i do right now when i watch this. remember, every one of us is incredibly lucky to have the health and opportunity to be in the snow on skis/snowboard, let alone a camera to capture the moment. praise to whomever or whatever created all of this life and earth.
