I know this is a little late but finally found the time to post these photos.

Boardpusher held a comp at Denver park for Go Skate Day, it was a blast. The sun was blasting and so were the shredders.
First up is the Pro/Am comp in the peanut bowl (9ft)

Been skating everyday after work, best thing to get you through the day. I have a few photos to share.

On Memorial day we were setting up at the Golden Mill which is a feed store in downtown. It’s not a huge spot but a good place to warm up. After about three attempts the cops roll in. Happy Memorial day. Two filmers, Ian and I were ticketed for trespassing. Which brought Ian to an  all time high of four tickets in one week. 

The sunsets have been pretty good for the last few days so we decided to do some shooting around that time. We were a bit late but had a blast on this little known mini. It’s amazing to skate this ramp, especially once it starts to cool down.

Its rolling into summer really fast here in Colorado. I had the chance to go shoot some skateboarding, here are a few shots from the last week for you guys. Hope you like them.

I was up at Breck for the last few days since they have shut all the lifts down as of Sunday afternoon. It could not have been better, going from 2 feet of blower pow on tuesday to perfect slushy spring time shredding by the weekend. Saturday was action packed all day, I did a bit of shooting with Colin Spencer who was wrapping up his park filming for the season. Alex Martini pulled some amazing in-air video work. 

Shame they are closing with full coverage, prime parks and perfect pipe. Until next year. 

April 1st at Breckenridge has become a huge party day for all the local shreds. Its sick to see the whole snowboard scene together on one day having what seems the most fun you could have on the mountain. Hunting down a good set of retro gear, setting you stance back, maybe cutting a swallow tail, spraying everyone and everything in sight, and slashing like all the old school shredders is what its all about. 

We were on the hill pretty early, the local holiday was still pretty low key but there was a good foot of fresh to be had. We headed directly for the T-bar and Imperial lift. After a short hike (around some very winded Welsh blokes) we had reached the summit of peak 8 with open powder fields in all directions. Once we had exhausted the new snow and some clouds rolled in we blasted our way to Park Lane. We were immediately surrounded by neon and snowblades, it was chaos. Constant soul trains with 2-4 people on a lip at any time, spread eagles, and the all mighty method were being thrown with screams of delight. 

 It was getting pretty dangerous in the park, after seeing more than a few wrecks we were thinking of calling it. Breck beat us to it. Soon the parks were closed to anyone wearing a “costume” and therefore empty except for the a few steezy shreders here and there, apparently the resort was not as stoked as the rest of us. Didn’t stick around to see the “gapers” unleashed on the rest of the mountain.

A few riders and I drove down to Red Mountain pass to grab a few shots. Turned out that the snow was really baked. We managed to salvage a few spots before Jeff (Cormack) took a hit to the knee. With Partly torn LCL we drove back home.

I had the chance to go back to the church rail that we did earlier this season, I tried to step it up this time. The snow literally melted out from underneath us as the sesh wore on. Fun one( click images to see larger)

Unknown shredder Jordan Morrisette is right on Kegan’s heels taking the flying squirrel urban.  

When a friend of mine asked if I was interested in a road trip to out to California for a week, “hell yeah.” The plan was to leave friday morning and stop at Aspen’s big air event they hold at 3:00pm on fridays. Mark (Hoyt) and Colin (Spencer) were going to try to take the event and some extra cash for the trip. Turned out the locals made it to finals. We stopped at a bridge on the way out of town to see if it would be possible to hit real quick. We all agreed that after they both got a nose press we would roll out. They both landed the press after a few tries and started the switch press attempts. Colin came off the rail and caught his chin on his way down to the icy water. “we can go and get you stitches or get some glue and fix it right here, your choice.” Next Mark is on a quick trip to the kiwk-e-mart for some superglue and hydrogen-peroxide and soon enough we had the bleeding stopped and chin back together. On to Grand Junction. 

We stayed the night in Grand Junction, picked up Bret a filmer for Cuff Productions. On the way we stopped at a random little town which was full of snow. Turned out there was a sweet little kink at the local Chiropractor’s office. Colin Landed a front board and we were off to stay the night in Reno.  As we pulled into town we were in the middle of a 48hour storm, I have never seen snow flakes so big.

 The next day we found a truck buried near a local mountain and gave it a good slashing with the help of our truck, it was still snowing into the night. We woke up to a perfect day, sprint to the backcountry…I wish. We got up there late but found some amazing cliffs and a few spots that would fill the next few days. The guys we were staying with had built a quarter-pipe, using the roof of the house as a drop in. Pretty fun to be able to sesh all night and work with the light and riders without worrying about getting booted.  

Last night I met a few shredders at Ruby Hill, near downtown denver. I haven’t actually ridden the free park yet. Ruby’s goal is to make snowboarding accessible to more people. Its working, there are a lot of  beginners shredding the boxes, they will have a great head start when they take it to the slopes. Ruby is like a gym for jibbing, I have never learned so much in so little time. I took the camera out after the lights shut down at 9pm. (the park is open till 11 though)
