On Saturday I was lucky enough to see a large amount of the skate industry come together in support of a fallen shredder. Levi Huffman suffered a severe head injury on International Go Skate Day, he was in the ICU for weeks. The reason that so many people came together for Levi is his amazing character. I have a huge amount of respect or Levi, he is the kind of person who will go out of his way to help anyone he can.Like how he takes a group of little skate groms to a different skatepark that they wouldn’t normally have access to each week. Every time I skate with Levi he goes out and teaches someone something new or give them the confidence in themselves to do more than they thought the could. Levi and his fiancée are expecting their first child later this year, he will be an amazing father.On the 12th Board Cartel put together a skate contest along with Woodward to raise money for Levi and his family. The people at Cartel got everyone they could involved and before we knew it there were over 20 sponsors sending product to help Levi.  Product from Circa, Fallen, Mystery, Zero, Black Box, Anon, Nixon, Oakley, Element, RVCA, Bern helmets, Neff, Etnies, and boardpusher.com. 
The local shops, Thirfty Stick, 303 Boards, and Board Room also pitched in and each gave out package of gear for the event.

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.
