I ride with @ming.t.poon a lot. In theory we are doing the serious work of “shooting snowboarding.” 😉
In reality we mostly just snowboard.
Today is his birthday. Congrats on another lap around the sun buddy! Here’s to lots more laps, both like this and around the sun!
Listen to the audio. I am not sure who is more stoked in this video, me or Ming.

The toe to heal hop turn over exposure and in firm/variable snow is the trickiest and most dangerous turn in snowboarding for two reasons.
-If you catch the tail mid hop turn you can fall.
-There is more edge hold on a toe edge. You can have plenty of control on the toe edge, hop to the heal and unexpectantly not be able to hold your edge. This is why I started riding with my axe/pole in my front hand.
My main focus is to get my front hand on snow as fast as possible. This also helps solve the common mistake of not getting your shoulders around and getting stuck mid turn.
The first turn is always the most scary because you are not sure how your edge will hold.
If your heal edge doesn’t hold you need to stop the fall immediately.

I splitboard because…
We rode some spicier lines earlier in the day that rarely fill in but this is the line that still holds the most space in my mind. Especially the toe turn on the wave half way down.
@forrestshearer track is the lookers right one.

“I saw a couple nice lines” @mia__jones_ said after a recent summer hike.
It’s all I needed to hear to fire up the bikes and take a look.
I must admit I was skeptical looking up from the valley at the bare mountains that we would make turns but she was right.
Wild flowers, single track and late August turns on some of my favorite lines made for a memorable day.
Extra grateful to get a bonus day of summer shralpinism with her before she heads to college!

Closing day vibes. What started 10 months ago lapping the white ribbon of death on opening day has finally came to an end. What a crazy ride it was. So fun to celebrate a “full pull” with old and new friends.

August vibes. @andrew_miller is a magician with his camera. You mostly just snowboard as he secretly snipes shots. Every once in awhile he will ask you to stop for a second to line up a shot.
Eventually I will see shots and wonder “when was that?”

WOW! Back in a high action, full throttle snowboard film directed by Mike Hatchett?! Brings back so many memories shooting and editing with Mike over the years.
Our conversations around this film sounds much as they did 20 years ago.
“Don’t over cut clips, show top to bottom snowboarding and don’t be afraid to trim the fat.”
Buckle up, TB24, I mean #tgrflyinghighagain will be taking off to a town near you this fall!

Hyped to share the big screen with these chargers!👇
