Trip to Park City to chat with Ego Sports

I had the chance to take a trip up to Utah over the weekend and visit Michael Spencer in Park City. Michael, an ex-pro mogul and aerial skier, run’s a sports management agency called Ego Sports, and Seshn has been lucky enough to have the pleasure to work with them. Ego Sports is the agency of choice for all kinds of amazing action sports and outdoor athletes. Two of their biggest names are pro freeskiers, Simon Dumont and Jossi Wells. As luck would have it, we worked out a deal to bring Simon and Jossi into the Seshn family and we couldn’t be more pumped.

All in all it was a great trip to Utah. Short… but a good time as always. It was great to learn more about Athlete Management and how it all works. We are stoked to work with Ego, and from what I could tell, Michael is pretty pumped about Seshn as well. Here a few photos from the morning meeting with Michael:

The Ego Sports office lounge area. Super chill.

Always a good sign... Red Bull fridge stashed with fresh beverages -- and macaroni salad.

Simon Dumont Oakley poster. That would be nuts to see yourself on posters.

Got hooked up with Transitions. Right straight home and peeped it. Learned a lot about freeskiing history.

Red Bull Snowboard Performance Camp down in NZ

Are you kidding me with the level of talent kids have these days? When I was there age, I was running around having water fights, or jumping on the trampoline. Not these kids, these days. That kind of stuff is weak sauce, especially to these kids down in New Zealand at the Red Bull Performance Camp. The future of Snowboarding has been spending their summer, south of the equator, down in the land of the long white cloud, learning from the greatest Pros and instructors out there, as these little groms have their hearts set on being the greatest, in the near future.

The second week at the Performance camp couldn’t have got off to a better start. Mother Nature flicked a switch and turned winter on again freshly coating the surrounding mountains with fresh snow. The crew for Week Two consists of some of the most talented up and coming snowboarders from around the world.

The younger riders were full of energy and enthusiasm when they saw the setup that stood before them, they hit the ground running to get their boards on and get out there. It wasn’t long before these pint-sized rippers were hitting the bag jump and trying new tricks, at least half of them throwing down double attempts on the first day.

Stale Sandbech (NOR), brothers Nils and Hans Mindnich (US) and Kyle Mack (US) were all working on different doubles and even 10 year old Cody Warble (US), the smallest rider by far was throwing 7′s into the bag.

We are fully stoked that Skateboard Pro, Jordan Hoffart has decided to join the ranks of Seshn and our growing family. Jordan is quickly becoming a dominant force in Skateboarding, and what’s sicker, is that he loves technology and connecting with Fans via Twitter and Facebook. This kid fits the bill.
