What went down was nothing short of amazing. Both T-Mo and Haldor killed their hip stye booter and called it day stoked.

Lonnie is a bad-mofo. He sent his shred stick well over 100ft cab 5 and fs7 into his appointed landed. He so stomped his 7 it looked absolutely effortless. Killer Lone Wolf strikes again.

Moments before he hit that thing he yelled out “Haldor” as if channeling his jumping ability,, then proceed to stomp the shit out of his jump.. Insane…

I also got to go explore downtown Park City one night too. I have never really spent time in park city before and I love the feel of the town. I got to see a piece of priceless Banksy art that was painted on the side of a restaurant from the Sundance film festival this year. If you haven’t heard of him look him up. He’s got a pretty cool story and history behind his art.

I took a bunch of photos so you all can get an inside look at the lab If you ever get a chance to go there its a pretty sweet place! Enjoy! Thanks again Reel Comp

The Arizona desert is a weird place. Maybe it’s the 700 year-old cacti, the awkward co-existence of frat boys and gypsies, or the fact that it just snowed more in Flagstaff than anywhere else in the country. Regardless, the crew from the Campus Rail Jam Tour was stoked to explore Tucson and feed their appetite for the bizarre. Check the first Weekly Update video below to see what went down before the event.

With an amazing debut in Tucson last February, the Tour is no stranger to the University of Arizona. The crew was welcomed with open arms as they skated through campus spreading the stoke and making friends with every attractive girl to walk by. Tucson may not be the breeding ground for the next LNP or Tom Wallisch, but the locals sure do love snow. That being said, the crew was psyched to add their own blend of bizarre to the desert and swap sand for snow in the middle of campus.

If there’s one thing learned from last year, it’s that Arizona locals love to skate. So when students walked out from classes to the sight of snow and a brand new mini ramp, it was like Christmas came early to the UA campus.

When the event kicked off at noon, classrooms must have been emptier than a box of doughnuts in a cop car, because over 3,000 kids were on-site enjoying the snow and skate. The UA students must have liked what they saw last year, because over two times as many people applied to ride in the contest. Not bad for a place where most people have never even seen snow! Snow-hungry co-eds flooded the sponsor booths, making custom t-shirts at the Cricket Wireless tent, and entering to win the FordDrivesU Ultimate Snowboard Getaway.

Only two female snowboarders came out to play in the big snowcone pile, and both walked away with more product than they could carry! Kristin Swanson was all smiles and took home second place along with a limited edition snowboard from Ford. Tour veteran, Emily Astiz started things off with mellow slides on the rainbox-down box but soon started eyeballing the 10-foot gap box. With the crowd roaring, Emily flawlessly floated the gap and powered through the box. Needless to say, Emily landed in first place with and new banana traction board from Roxy snowboards.

For many of the male shreds, the three rails on the new setup were bigger than anything they’ve hit all season. However size didn’t seem to concern the AZ rippers as they attempted to pull out everything in their bag of tricks to impress the judges. Colin Ofloy went into the finals dropping hammers with 270s and 360s onto the gap box. Judges awarded Colin third place and a full kit from Bonfire Outerwear. Second place went to Tempe local, Loren Brinton for his proper 5-0s and frontboards on the kink. At the end of the day it was David Biner in first for his buttery combos and smooth style. David slayed all three rails and was hooked up with a new board from Salomon Snowboards for his effort.

Skier Alex Gaynor came out on top for the two plankers and walked away with a fresh pair of Coreupt Skis after throwing down stylie 270s on the gap box . Andrew Salter followed closely in second and was rewarded for his efforts with some sick new Bonfire Outerwear. Last year’s winner, Nate Johnson rounded out the pack in third scooping up the Neff x CRJT collabo hat and some other goodies.

As all of the televised capable world knows, Shaun White was stellar yesterday and got a very deserved gold… Ad another million or so to his pile.. Congrats for the insane run.. Imagine if Kevin Pierce was there, it may have been a USA dominated podium.. Heal up Kevin..

Been shooting a bunch and lemme say things are on blast. I really look forward to the return of winter because there is mad potential for amazing backcountry potential. I scouted areas that are literally in my backyard and for some reason, I never looked at. Lemme me know where’s it going down, what’s going on. I will keep you posted on what I know and where things may be headed.  Keep looking out for the premiere of our Photo Gallery it is going to be amazing, we got some heavy hitting photogs getting ready to bring some eye candy your way… Ciao for now. Stay tuned.

This was REELcomp’s first women’s contest and we were happy to get such sweet footage from these ladies. These girls ride hard and I’m sure have guys staring in awe as they cruise by. The winner, Celia Miller, goes bigger than most girls (and guys for that matter), and tears it up in the backcountry! She is sponsored by Bolle Goggles, Bula Hats, Evo Energy Drink, Keystone Resort, Betty Rides, Pow gloves, Ogio, and K2 Snowboards.

The next two weeks it proceeded to dump and super shreds from all over the globe poured into Tahoe. Got to have some freshies with Mads Jonsson and EJack. Marius Otterstad came rolling through for a brief warm up before he heads out to India then Turkey.. Stay tuned on that one as I will be receiving updates on how that mission is going. Marius of course of broke it off in the Donner backcountry and didn’t bounce before he stomped the trick of the season, dbl cork 10.. Funny thing about that trick,, don’t forget it was David Benedek who was the first to stomp that thang over 5 years ago, now its the trick to know if you have any aspirations of going anywhere in snowboarding. Progression is a funny thing.. Oh yeah and Freddy Kalbermatten was the first I saw stomp it off a straight jump some 5 seasons ago. Back to the future, I guess.

This week brings more snow, more fun and more SHOTS… Speaking of shots, stay tuned for the introduction of REELcomps PHOTO GALLERY.. Ya heard? I’ve recruited some of my photog friends to join me in building a eye-candy photo filled section on these lovely cyberpages… In the works now and it will be nothing short of awesome. This just in, 2ft at lake level over the next few days… If your in the area drop a line. Be stoked to hear from you..
