A friend just sent me this..

I love it when the sounds of the clip are used to make the track.
The break down on the Master Chef one is seriously genius.
It made me thing back to this video

Ruby Tubesday!

It's that time again!


This. Is. Awesome! technically not amazing, but the drawings and idea of it all are amazing. Technical pen drawings are some of my favourite kind of art.



Catz rule


Dogs are better though

WERRRRRRRRRD!

Been away for the weekend, so no time for updates, but also now have my laptop back after smashing the screen on the 3rd day out of a 6month stay in Canada. good one dick'ed!!!

Seen a few cool videos over the last 24hrs though, so here's just a few of them....


More Snowboarding Videos
All girls snowboarding teaser. Jenny Jones and Aimee Fuller holding it down for the UK girls and doing a damn fine job of it.
Would be cool to try and get hold of the full film when it comes out.

Always a favourite of mine, the Provo Brothers doing there thing on the summer solstice out in Utah

Some questionable editing and filming, but the whole feel of the trips they take just gets me super stoked to go skiing.

Dubbed 'the funnest place on Earth' Windells summer camp has got it going on!
The skateparks they have there look so so dope. would love to go ride them, and the spring park they have up on the glacier of Mt Hood is epic.
Check it. Week 2 edit.

One Way To Brighten Up Your Day.


The fact that this makes my mum crack up is a true sign that its funny.
Cannot stop watching it......similarly to this video as well...


And for those in the know.....

All.I.Can

Jackson sent me this this morning.
HOLY.SHIT.
This is what im talking about when I say I want to post creative stuff. Cannot wait for this to drop now.
Global Warming is obviously a huge factor in the skiing world and anything we can do to try and save our winters is a good thing.

Featuring Kye Petersen, Mark Abma, Eric Hjorleifson, JP Auclair, James Heim, Chris Rubens, Mike Douglas, Dana Flahr, Rory Bushfield, Ian McIntosh, Lynsey Dyer, Alexi Godbout, Matty Richard, Chad Sayers and more this looks like it will be an amazing film.
Hopefully standout sections for me will be JP, Chris Rubens and Ian McIntosh.

It's TuBesday

It's Tuesday, so therefore its YouTubesday!
This is actually amazing!


Now I know its not on youtube, but this is fucking SICK!
UK showing how its done on the urban scene.
some serious bangers in here.

More Snowboarding Videos

This is my good friend Mr Jason Colledge a.k.a Fooman

Filmed and Edited by Will Evans who is a legend. Damn good rider, filmer and all round farmer!

How this still has less then 1million views I do not know. This was first term at uni in video form.


This is still epic. Full on legend status

Gypsy Livin'

I had forgotten all about this edit until my mind wandered towards skiing during work today
Just remember kids, skiing ISN'T fun!!

Friday Night Playlist...













It's been a pretty eclectic evening.

Foto Fridays

My laptop is still away getting fixed, so you'll have to put up with some other peoples photography. probably will be more enjoyable anyway!

Max Wanger
Saw this guys works in a tiny little section in the paper today, so did the usual n google'd him. Really really like his work. His wedding photography a few posts down has an amazing feeling to it. The way that he combines very classic composition but then throws in very unusual composition and focus.

I also said this would be a blog bigging up my friends as well, so here we are:

Piers Cunliffe
A very good friend of mine who has really carved out a solid position for himself working as a freelance photographer in Bath.
The link is to a recent project of his with an aerial artist. I love the way she sits against the background of the trees and the way that it is lit. Check out the rest of the blog as well.
Piers keeps it regularly updated with his stuff and they are always awesome photos.

Rob Young
I met Rob through two mutual friends down in London who he lived with. He works as a designer so has an eye for composition and his pictures have just got better and better.
The use of flash in the photo is amazing. I've seen it used before but not as effectively as this. The way that it has caught the rain as well. Just awesome.

Kate Owen
Now not photography, but shot on a camera so im gonna claim it.
Kate's final film for her course at university, Documentary Film and Video at UWNewport.
I saw it as a rough cut and it was good then and the final cut is even better. The story of the video flows really well. Stunning cinematography helps to solidify a great story told in a different way showing how one place can bring people from different ways of life together.

Downhill Street Race


Downhill racing taking to the next stage. I really miss riding bikes with big tyres and squishy suspension.
Wish I had never sold the Kona I built up. Don't get me wrong, I'll never stop riding bmx or fixed/road, but downhill is so much fun.

My kinda style...

Adam Banton Edit
This is my kind of riding. Adam Banton has been a favourite rider of mine for as long as ive been riding. Pure tech style and always finds quirky stuff to ride. Doesn't have the latest and greatest tricks but would put most people to shame.

Sorry for being so slack.

Just been busy the last few days really, so havnt had time to post, plus I'm not on my laptop so I'm not online as much.
Ive set myself a challenge once my laptop is back and I have the ability to edit photos again and that is to upload a shot each friday. Foto Friday. This'll be something new for me and to get me off my ass and get shooting more often.
Also been looking at getting some stickers and t-shirts done. Just for a laugh really, but they [the t-shirts] will of course be in rediculous sizes!

Music....

I know its pretty cliche but music is a pretty big part of my day.
It feels weird not to have music on when I'm just chilling around the house, in the car, riding, etc....
Music is always the most important thing when it comes to an edit as well. Been watching a lot of ski films lately and just some standout tracks/sections that just fully work, in my opinion, and make the section even better.

Enough 'awesome' for us all

No style off jumps, but soo much steeze on urban rail. tech as fuck too.
Brutal slam at 0:38 as well
Travis Kennedy....peep it!

Not a whole lot of awesome happened today

I finished work for the week.
Shot some photos.
Drank a beer in the sun.
Listened to this song lots.
Giggled at this photo
Im going straight to hell.

Daily Awesome


This isn't the most awesome thing from today, although this is fucking amazing.
Best thing about today, is that DFTU have surfaced again! Standing for 'don't fuck the underage' or 'distribution for the underground' changed the face of English BMX back in 2004/5/6. And being from just 2 villages over from me back home, thats pretty awesome.

FUCK YEAH!
all the new tricks in bmx are pretty dope, but nothing compares to this kind of riding for me...

This guy sends it!

Love the simplicity of this shot and how the long exposure really makes the colour of the flower pop from the background.
Bigger size after the jump

Maude Raymond Summer Edit

Dope style.

Daily Awesome

Please don't judge from this....
I am in no way a football fan, but we were talking about the film Four Lions at work and this song came into my head and has firmly remained there.
Pure anthem! loves it

Content

I currently have an exceedingly boring job, marking exam papers, so my mind tends to wander a little bit from what i should be doing.
During one of these brief forays from the conscious today I was thinking about what im going to put in the blog. I've had other blogs before but Ive done one post and then forgotten about them/the password and have subsequently posted no more stuff, but that shall not be the case with this one.
Im going to basically use it to big my mates up, as they are all pretty rad people (hence why they are my friends) and a lot are pretty creative in their ways.
I was thinking of a some questions for mini interviews and a little showcase of their work. For me, they will all be connected to what I love to do as well; Ski, shoot photos, make/listen to music and ride bikes.

Also I'll try and get a daily bit of awesome up on here as well. So a song, video, photo or something along those lines.

And....last but not least, I have given the login details to a few other people, so hopefully they will show their faces and post some stuff from time to time too.

Bonjour...

This is what this blog is all about......Gay blades and Onesies!
Im missing skiing, so just a place to keep all random shit to do with skiing and general shit in one place.
Gonna try and get some help with this, so its more regular and interesting.

Thought of the day...the number 4 is the dullest number around. it just can't said to sound positive.
Big Tune.
