JANUARY (up until now)

Although it hasn't snowed in the city recently, the snow has stuck around thanks to the inversion, which is the worst I've ever seen. 5 Utah cities have ranked top 5 worst air in the nation for about 5 days now (Logan, Ogden, Salt Lake, Provo, & some random place). Blotto decided to leave his downtime in AZ to come up & shoot/stay at Sean's so we've been out almost every day in this crap air. I've actually only been out maybe 7 days total this year & still have yet to film a single rail.. Well, a single rail that doesn't involve a gap to it. Either way, the edit with all of these features should turn out pretty sweet & definitely is on the creative tip. I've been trying to compose my shots of these spots with more of a photographic eye & I'm real happy with most of them that I've been able to do so with. It has also been very helpful to have other filmers around for 2nd angles that can capture the action from other views to compliment it. (Thanks to Aaron Leyland, Sean Lucey, & Mark Dangler for the help shooting with Alex Andrews, Sean Black, Tucker Andrews, Brandon Hammid, & Zak Hale.)

Good thing it's winter & wasps are dead.

GTSing Blotto GTSing.

Alex examining other possibilities. There's a lot of cement here.

Shovels, propane tanks, torches, bungees, $5000 cameras, etc. Ridiculous.

Sean's shot on this is going to drop jaws. I've never had to shoot something in the street so wide.. 35.5 feet, lip to rail.

Brendan Gerard: Scarecrow.

Keep out of reach of children.

As gross as it is, the smog creates some crazy sunsets.

Putting the Banshee Bungee to good use this year.. Haven't used a drop in once.

Get this guy off school property!

Jeremy came out with us & we went straight to a spot but were still undecided.

When I first noticed this possibility I thought I was being unrealistic..

And it is probably the craziest/most awesome thing I've ever shot or witnessed in person.

Just thought the composition of this was cool.

Jumping rooftops.

Blotto is always in a good mood, & eating sandwiches while driving.

Algae, fungi, mold, whatever you wanna call it.

Alex unfortunately ruptured his spleen & had to get it removed, which is actually better now since he won't have to sit around for 2 months letting it heal.
