End Search
I finally got to see End Search and it did not let me down! Everyone involved with that video handled their business, that's for sure. Amazing parts all around, by my 3 favorites had to be Will Love, Dave Dillewaard, and Ryan Nyquist. Freaking nuts. I had to leave the crash section alone, though. I hate watching my friends get broke off.
The Evens and William Shatner
I got an iTunes gift card for my birthday and it's been a slow-go turning it into actual music. Let's just say I get picky when spending money, even when it's a present. I finally bought two things, though. "Common People" from William Shatner (you know it's good) and the album from The Evens. I wasn't too into The Evens until seeing them play in Dallas with Mike Vincent, Brian Tunney, and Mike Ardelean. I'd rate the live show a bit higher than the studio tracks, but it's still a good listen. After all, when Mat Hoffman gives something a thumbs-up, you know it's good.
Spots in the Desert
Just got home from a Phoenix-Vegas road trip. Spots aplenty, and we got to hang out with Smoker Dave who is cancer free. It was a great trip and two things are for sure. First, if you live near the Chandler Bike Park, you are stoked. Second, long live the Hard Rock.
Woodward Winter
I had to shoot photos at Woodward for a couple days, and the shoot just happened to fall on the launch of the new Vital BMX. I hope you are all into the new look, and thanks for all the feedback that's been coming in. Aaron, our main IT guru is constantly making tweaks, so the site is just going to keep getting better.

As for Woodward, the snow was dumping outside, but the stuff that was going on inside Cloud 9 was just plain stupid. Vert riding in 2008 is flat-out nuts.
That's It=The Best
I've been watching a ton of videos lately, and the 50/50 video titled "That's It" is the one that blew me away the most. So much great riding, incredible filming and editing, and it shows these guys simply have fun. But what else would you expect from Elf, Mike Aitken, Skier, J, Beringer, and crew. There is one kid in the video named Tate who just may become your new favorite rider... Buy this.
Leopard Attack
I’m a sucker for new Apple stuff, but today has been a nightmare. Last night I bought a copy of Leopard and somehow it went crazy during install and required a complete system re-install—not psyched. Luckily I had a backup from a few days ago, but getting everything up and playing nice has been beyond lame. Leopard is pretty sick, but make sure you backup everything before you hit that “install” button just to be safe.

Also, the Time Machine backup system in Leopard is pretty nice, but if any of you out there have a system you use for archiving video and photo files, let me know. An online system would be ideal, but with big files, even a cable modem ain’t enough. Got any ideas?
