happy new year from canada! well the holidays are over and we are back at it again filming some rails for FORUM OR AGAINST EM, the new FORUM movie the will drop in SEPT 08!

It is raining here right now so we have to sit in the hotel everyday and watch the snow disapear , but that is how it goes sometimes... "it not always easy" thats what kevin jones always used to say, and at first i though he was being sarcastic, but after filming year after year, you realize that it is never easy, basically never... there is always something going wrong with the rail or jump, or in run, or out run, or weather... it is a real mission to even get one shots... it can take three days to finally get one shot! and in the video it passes by in about 3 seconds! so for every three seconds there could be over three days of work behind it... pretty crazy to think when a video is 30 minutes long, and thats after editing it down a bunch...

nothing to funny or crazy happening on this trip right now cause we are waking early and sleeping early. well one thing kinda happened...

Kurt Hiene builds these drop in ramps that fit into board bags, its what MDP and a lot of other film crews use.... well Pat Moore brought his on this trip, (oh i forget to mention they are 2000 dollars to have him make one for you) ... anyways... Pat had his in the back of a truck,,, and a few nights ago someone stole it, or something,,, because it isnt there... so pat was out 2000 $ and i had to get mine fed exed out here over night which probably cost a fortune, but forum picked up the tab on that ... anyways, we got mine here which is the new and improved ramp anyways, and needless to say, its locked up.

hope all is well!
