Post season wrap .

Ive been back in N.Z for over a month now an looking back this past season was everything that good times are made from .

I lived in BC for about 4 months an although they have alot of Grey an snowy days which can be challenging to film in , they had a great snow year with tons of pow  .

I travelled around abunch , rode with different people an made some rad new friends .

Filming for VG was a real honor an truely an awesome experience  , something that Im pumped I was apart of .

The movie comes out in September , so until then here are a bunch of images from the  last few weeks filming 

I also took a few days off to film an Episode for Airtime , a TV show here in NZ

Enlighten Winter

This Winter here in Canada has been a great learning experience an good times .

Ive been lucky enough to be invited to film with Video Grass crew for there latest project Enlighten which will be out in September .

The crew Ive been spending time with are rad an very motivating to learn from an be inspiried by .
some of the riders I film with Ive looked up to most of my snowboard career so its a humbling experience to spend time with them an enjoy winter together .

As any winters go Ive had some up's an down's but for the most part its going great an everyday someting new an always fun times .

Here are some images form the last few weeks an the Englighten teaser to get you amped .
