Wow, with another year behind us it’s getting hard to believe the pace of life these days. I'm proud to say that in 5 of the last 6 years of my life I have spent over 100 days out of each year sitting on chairlifts, touring and hiking for pow and chilling with some of my favorite people ever, in the mountains skiing and snowboarding. The last 352 days have been spent at Mt Bachelor, Hoodoo and Mt Hood. Filming, riding pow, tuning skis and being with my friends have kept me on snow on a regular basis and healthy.
One of my favorite edits, shot in a single day of hot laps with some of the guys I gotten to film with on a regular basis for a couple seasons now. I think this is the only park edit I was in front of the lens for (except the last one, where i got knocked out). The best parts about this edit is the fact that we filmed the whole thing in a single day, it was my first edit of 2010 and . . . it was my birthday.

I've also had the opportunity to work with a very talented up a coming skateboarder here in Central Oregon. I filmed with 8 year old James Stewart for 6 sessions to put together some raw footage for him to use as promo footage. With all the footage I edited up this clip as a sample for my own portfolio and the Truck Stop Skate Park, here in Bend Oregon. James is definitely the future of skateboarding, super motivated, versatile in his skating and a perfectionist (yea at 8 years old). He skates transitions fast and with style, while charging on the street as well. James would show up to the sessions with a trick list in mind and just go to work, there was one trick that James tried well over 80 (probably a low-ball guess) times over 2 sessions to no avail, but he got up time after time and never came away empty handed.

2011 is coming, I will conclude my 7 year conquest through college academia (with a 3.1 GPA, a Bachelors in Tourism and Rec and over 600 days on snow), I'll have a business (tentatively) and I'm going to have a new freaking camera in March. Not sure if this will be my last edit of 2010 but here you go, I'll 'see ya in da mountains, eh?'

My new years resolution: to get after it, in all aspects of my life, and keep this blog up to date. Thank you to everyone who has kept me motivated to succeed; my parents, girlfriend and friends.
