Trick: Ollie

There is always one kid anywhere who is down.   Doesn’t matter if your going to set up a 30 stair,  hike for two hours for one line, jib a picnic table or in this case set up skatepark bowl.   Jeremy Black is one of these kids… He was cool enough to solo mission it with me to the local skate park not sure what we were going to hit just that I convinced him it would be a rad photo.  This is not the hugest trick and by no means gives Jeremy’s talent justice but it represents just having fun and being stoked to shred anything.  Our session was just a test run;  The park has so many options and we will definitely be back once it snows again.

Trick: Layback or Slash if you prefer

I began to write this post and got to were you fill out the trick info but was wondered what the hell to call this…… A Layback, Spray or Slash? Well I figured I could turn to the all knowing Google and typed in layback - spray - slash - snowboarding. This it was I came upon first: Snowboardinghelp.com….haha (go figure). They go into a in depth and detail report on the origin of the “layback” and “slash” plus a step by step on how to master both of these extremely advanced skills. Pretty funny check it out the article HERE.
Anyways I have decided thanks to snowboarding help that the first photos would be more of a “layback” and 2nd photo would fall into more of the “slash” category. So I guess I’m satisfied with providing you with the correct term. I will wrap this up with a bit from the article:
“As you can imagine layback maneuvers are fairly hard to achieve but are also very glamour and very impressive when completed. Having an extremely advanced snowboarding ability is an absolute must before attempting as is having the proper safety gear. However, the work and effort are more than worth it once you too can do this and impressive everyone on the hill..”

Well here you go a man who is a master slasher- Johnny Centi smacking Dave’s other wave in Mammoth. Like totally sick brahhh!

Yup this is looking like a good week….. I just got a Mark II last week and had to send it out right away ( because a shutter at the end of it’s life) which sucked. But it was a quick fix and it comes back this Thursday and I’m ready to put that bad boy to use.  Not to mention the forecast for the Waaaasatch Mtns here in Utah is looking pretty good.   In more news be on the look out for two new Photo Features coming to the Revolution and Photo blog :
The Brighton Bunch and Park City Premium.
These will be added to the list with the growing popular DOUBLE | TAKE feature.
Stay tuned in… more info on those coming soon!
