That's It, That's All - Soundtrack

I know a ton of people have been looking for this so here it is, all the music from That's It, That's All.

Head on over to Hybridsessions to peep all the rad tunes!

I also wrote a pretty extensive review of the film that you can read here.

Absinthe "Ready" Fort Collins Premiere Photos

Way back in July or whenever it was that Absinthe released the trailer and tour dates for their latest shred film Ready, I was a bit surprised/stoked they would be rolling through Fort Collins for a premiere. Usually all the films head south to Denver so it was rad I didn't have to spend the 40 bones in gas money it takes the Love Bus to get down and back. I loved last years Absinthe film, Optimistic? so I was pretty hyped to check this one out.

So fast forward a few hours and we're on our way to the premiere. At the last minute JB decided to attend in lieu of going on a movie date with a hot babe... Nice choice dude. We arrive, lock up the bikes, and the festivities begin.

Artist David Hale Interview

Photobucket

There have been but a handful of moments in my life where something or someone has truly had a profound effect on me and the way I view my ever-evolving existence. Discovering art and music, especially punk, (70's & 80's punk that is) and learning how to play an instrument is one of those moments. The first time I rode powder on a snowboard, spending the whole day front- flipping through the snow, being stuck and digging myself out, but on the last run of the day finally figuring it out, getting huge turns in all the way down the mountain and being the most stoked I might have ever been in my life, is another. Recently my sister and her take on life and the current adventure she's on have had a major impact on me. There are constant sources of inspirations around at all times but only few that leave lasting impressions on us. That being said, I just might have stumbled onto one of those moments...

08/09 Bent Metal Binder Machines

Another one of Mervin Manufacturing's magnificent marvels, (God I love alliteration) is their Bent Metal Bindings. After a long period of wanting, I finally got my hands on a pair of these last season after my much used Tech Nines exploded. See, bindings to me are a little like skate trucks... once you finally get a pair dialed and you get used to them, it's hard to ride anything else.

TJ Schneider - Pro Artist

Photobucket

So you all probably know TJ Schneider as the grizzly bearded, method grabbing, tattoo sporting, Air Blaster Leg Bag wearing pro snowboarder, but how many of you know about TJ Schneider the professional artist? When TJ is not shredding some fresh pow, he is often hard at work shredding the canvas. His work is raw, unpolished, abstract, vibrant, simple, unique, meaningful, soaked in human emotion and feelings, and most of all really rad. I think the best way to describe TJ’s art is visible emotion. He draws and paints what his feelings and emotions would look like if they could be seen. That’s the way I look at it at least… He’s not the product of an art school or hasn’t been classically trained but that doesn't mean shit... his style is very unique and original and that’s what creating art is all about, self-expression, no matter what the hell it looks like. I've been stoked on TJ as a pro snowboarder for a long time and even more now after discovering his amazing art. Head on over to
Hybrid Sessions to read an interview with TJ and check out more of his super radical art.
