We are living in the age of negotiation… destruction with the goal of creation, participation without purpose and machines crazier than the people who use them. Humans act as electrical sockets in post-cultural societies to slow cook a global crock-pot of bullshit. Fax machines are played out and cubicles burn with black smoke.

There comes a time, when the tide is just not right, and there is an incredible itch for radicalness that just MUST be scratched, that you simply need to kick the fins off your favorite Murder Machine and head for the hills for a little bit of ShrubShreddin’!! Luckily, we happened to run into one of the planets premier Freestyle Foliage experts Brendan “BushBaron” Buckley, and witness what we can only describe as an indescribable session of his shrub shredding prowess. Believe me ladies and gentlemen, this kid knows a lot about bush….
(notice the bush photographer)
He took us on a 16 mile hike, barefoot mind you, to one of his top secret spots….
To illustrate the level of gnar possessed by the BushBaron, this is how he warms up, by charging down this monstrous and potentially deadly BEAST of a dirt wave. This is like the Waimea of this discipline folks…
Being the absolute, hands down BEST at what you do does not come free; the current consensus is that there are already a total of 665 gallons of the BushBaron’s blood in these hills. Here, he is adding the last drips to gallon 666….
The BB don’t mess around with weak ass chop hops in the water. He sure as hell won’t be bustin’ no jive ass crop hops in the bush….
Being a world class Hedge Hunter, an accomplished Slave Raver, an orthopedic surgeon, and regular volunteer at the O’Reily Institute for Diarrhea Research doesn’t take away from what the Bush Baron is at the core,……a Patriot.
The man has one simple dream, to jump off the edge of the world, into the universe’s biggest and baddest bush, wherever that may be. Maybe it is where the horizon lies, maybe it can only be found within. Whichever path he decides to take, the Baron of Bush will remain a legend, and myth amongst men….Viva el Pinche Baron

Eddie Wall’s career as a professional snowboarder stems from his beliefs in hard work and sacrifice. He began his dream as a pro snowboarder by standing on his sled in his backyard in Pennsylvania, two hours from what he like to describe as “the smallest hill imaginable.”
Seshn: Yo Eddie, what have you been up to?
Eddie Wall: Filming filming filming, just trying to get a lot of stuff done for the new forum movie dropping this sept! FORUM OR AGAINST EM.
Seshn: What do you think of all this global warming bullshit with these massive pow dumps we have seen over the last few weeks? Is it legit or just another government hoax?
Eddie Wall: Whether its true or not, keeping less fumes in the air and cars off the road is good. Keeping everything we do super environmental is the best trend we can get into anyways. No matter whats happening its cool to see people trying to do shit about it, whether it has to do with global warming or not.
Seshn: Who are your sponsors these days?
Eddie Wall: forum, foursquare, dc, smith, vestal, mammoth, jacks.
Seshn: How supportive is a company like DC and do you feel like the support they have for their riders has been a big part in their success?
Eddie Wall: DC is the shit!! They back their team so damn hard! its insane. They really give a lot of credit to the team for their success. They are basically the best company in the industry in my eyes, them, forum, and burton are the dopest. Ken Block is the man.
Seshn:What was your best memory of 2007 and why does it stand out above the rest?
Eddie Wall: Filming in NZ with the DC team for the new video, with ken block’s rally car, it was long days of filming, and scary shit, but the outcome was rediculous. some of the best footy i have ever been in for sure.
Seshn: What are your plans for 2008?
Eddie Wall: x games and film for FORUM OR AGAINST EM the new forum video.
Seshn: Who are your favorite homeys to ride with and why?
Eddie Wall: pat moore, bell, kennedy, welch, basically the whole forum and dc teams. and when i am skating its with Tony Tave, Denis Durant, Josh, Abdias Rivera, Ice, Windsor (all the Circa homies)
Seshn: Where are you calling home right now and what’s the scene like?
Eddie Wall: I have a house in mammoth and in san clemente california. I travel the entire year, so I am only home in mammoth a week or so… so I don’t know the scene there. In san clemente the scene is dope,,, hang with all the Circa homies, DC Forum and all sponsors are down there, and my girl lives there too . i like it there
Seshn: If you could pick one favorite photog who would it be and why?
Eddie Wall: Ian Rueter has helped me out the most, gotten me like 4 covers,,, and interviews…
