Panama 2006

  • The Price
    In the spirit of adventure and having new experiences together, the Missus and I rolled the dice on some informal recomendations and an ad from the back of Surfer Magazine for a 'Private Surf Island' off the coast of Panama. Suffice to say - we had a great, diverse crew on the island, scored some of the best - and longest waves - I have ever ridden and already have the island booked for next year. This is the DL from Morro Negrito - 2006.

'Round The Hood

  • Canute 2006 - Bring It On
    So, we live at 8,040 feet. We commute via bike some 17 - odd miles and 3,200 feet of vertical down to Boulder, most days. On the other days, we are running, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, drinking beer in the meadows and ridges around the house. The natural environment is something we are immersed in every day. This album is an attempt at reflecting on and capturing some of the beauty that we are immersed in every day. After a decade and a half of this - I am just getting warmed up and feel like a tourist seeing it for the first time every day. All these photos are in the hood - in the yard. It's a hellofa yard.

Colorado Trail 2004

  • Day 8 - Kennebec Pass
    In August of 2004 an assortment of riders from Nederland, Belgium and Northern California set out to ride some 320 miles of trails across the amazing state of Colorado. This is their story.

Snow

    Being that we live at 8,040 feet, weather, and snow are both a huge part of life. We shovel it, ride through it, ride on it, pray for it, curse it. We love it. Whether it's burying the ramp, blowing into hug lip launches at Edlora or carrying us over a cornice in some distant part of the state - it is a huge part of our constitution.

What we craft from the wreckage is entirely up to us

Frame 1. Q railing it op hard this am in 40+/- mph winds in a lame ass winter with no snow and freezing temps and just the entirety of the wrongness we have wrought upon ourselves. He is riding on the detritus of the 70 trees we dropped last year due to the iminent threat of fire here in the hight country, a direct result of the collective 'we' ass-fucking the planet with quite literally, a sand-paper condom. Frame 2. More clear-cutting as a result of mitigation which is french for 'cut all the trees down' as a result of us ass-fucking the planet in our single occupancy vehicle miles and our inability to be flexible - at all. Where there once was soul - filling trail - now there are clear cuts. And we do - literally deserve this shit and more. Finally - a moment of literal levity as E-Fry launches the jump on his wide - berthed steed of love. The key thing is - we got out today. TODAY. There is no other day that matters. This is it, folks. If you are waiting for a sunnier tomorrow - go ahead and eat that bullet now, and ask your friends/spouse to burn your corpse up in some environmentally friendly way. Ain't no one else going to make your way or make it easy for you or find meaning. That's the trip. It's up to each one of us, individually. The beauty is - if we all make the right choices we can literally change the world, collectively.
