Wondering

... what you'd look like, if you didn't look like you?

Probably like yourself, just different.

No better... no worse...

... just different.

New batteries

New ideas.

New Music.

Everything we do...

... Makes a difference. Aiya and Britt started a blog that might help us all understand this a little more. Check out --> The Truffula Seed ... it's not too late.

"SO... Catch!" calls the Once-ler.
He lets something fall.
"It's a Truffula Seed.
It's the last one of all!
You're in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds.
And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs.
Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care.
Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air.
Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack.
Then the Lorax
and all of his friends
may come back."

"The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss

This will make you a political gangster

Obama here we come!

This will make it all ok.

It's been days now.....

... since I last posted something. I can't remember where I've left my camera battery, and therefore haven't taken any photo's of late. Here's the latest Eh Team webisode to hold you over til I get creative again.

Getting creative....

... something we should all try to do a little more often. Check THIS out!

Salt Spring Slope Style

After the Salt Spring Slasher attacked earlier this summer, the Coast Longboarding army decided to make their presence know on this tiny island in an attempt to ward off any future attacks. After practicing our touch-and-go's on Juniper (the race course from earlier in the summer). We partied and camped at an undisclosed location. Under starry skies we consumed many beverages. Fortunately Ladner Division showed up before our rations ran dry and the party continued late into the night.

The following morning we rendezvoused at Salt Spring Island coffee shop, and their peppermint tea did wonders to calm the stomachs of all those who over indulged the night before. After replenishing our rations we began our convoy to spot number one and two. Style was thrown down by all participants, and rivaled only by the amount of urethane spent over the course of the day. Bombs were dropped on the private residents at the top of Musgrave, which were met with little opposition (only one axe wielding resident, and another who was shocked that we disobeyed her orders to cease and desist). After this small incursion, the slopesyle continued. Spot three and four were shredded a new one, and when the dust settled... Dylan and Travis, of Summerland division walked away with the Outlaw key. Day done, battle won. Over and out.

Party for the Cure!

With Push for the Cure happening in a couple of weeks, and Hayato moving back into The Stoop, we decided to throw a party to raise some money for the cause. Big thanks goes to Pilsner for kicking in for one of the kegs.


Here are some of the beautiful people who poisoned there liver in the name of breast cancer. Thanks for coming out guys!

These kids have style...

Slopestyle that is. The event went off without a hitch this year as it always does. Big thanks to Mike McGoldrick, the West Vancouver PD, and everyone's favorite mom... Erian of Deepcove Outdoors.

We are.

Chillin out...

maxin, relaxin by the pool. Well it was the neighbors pool... but who cares, that's not the point. I spent the weekend on the sunshine coast, hanging out on my aunt and unkles new deck, drinking G & T's with my Nana (isn't she the cutest). They moved to the coast on July first and couldn't have scored a nicer pad. The view was wonderful and the garden was epic. Thanks again Auntie Kim.

Hitching to great success.

I had my first real hitch - hiking experience this weekend, and I don't think it could have gone any better. I got picked up in Nelson (after waiting only 20 minutes) by a lovely gentleman who was going paragliding in Ymir. After being dropped off just outside Yimr, I waited a mere 5 - 10 minutes and was picked up by two beautiful people named Malorie and Kevin. They were on there way to meet there friends from Cranbrook in Creston to go swimming in the river. So we stopped in Salmo for beers and subs, and continued on to Creston, to the best rope swing I've ever swung on. After a refreshing dip Malorie's friends took me to Moyie were they were going to visit some family. I took a photo of the road sign outside of town and turned around to be picked up by the Eh team van... What a ride. The Sullivan Challenge was as rad as it always is.... well, more so I'd say due to the extreme amount of new potholes to be found on the course. Thanks Jody!!!

Down the rabbit hole

Alice in Wonderland descended upon Trout lake this Sunday, and Neaqeah and I creeped on it.



I'd like to give a big shout out to Vanessa for helping me to "GET SOME".

Hey You...

Get...

...Some!

Here's a ride ....

... that I'm sorry I missed out on.... enjoy.

South Van....

... has a lot of banks. Maybe one of them will give me some ducets.

Babes on bikes

The weather cooperated on Friday and made for the largest Critical Mass I've experienced to date. There must have been well over 1000 people, and with June being bike month, I expect that number to at least triple.

The Gold Rush is done...

... and Danger Bay has been won. It seems like the Brazilians are taking over. Sergio won the slide comp. Dalua won DB... and got fourth at Britania. Big Thanks goes to Lee Cation for putting on the Britania Beach Gold Rush Challenge. Check out Unkle.ca for more photo's from the event.

New lens.... new perspective...

Pulling race entry fee's from my ass

I'm going to be printing up some 8X10's for those that are interested. You can pick them up from me at Attack of Danger Bay next weekend. But you must let me know which photo you'd like printed by this coming Tuesday (May 12th) otherwise it won't be finished in time for my Friday after work departure. The price for one photo is $40, but if you want two it'll be $60 (for the pair). Here's some links to online gallery's, and if you've seen a photo that I took over the years that you'd like, email me and I'll do my best to track it down for you.

Photography is dangerous

The Salt Spring Slasher (2nd race of the season) went off without a hitch. Maybe a skitch or two... thanks Gord! Adrian put a bunch of us up at the English family homestead, and after a day of racing we tested Kevin's new incence burner while sitting around the fire. Mr. English made us breakfast the next morning before we departed for the campsite on the side of the racecourse where we hooked up with the remaining troops that were down to free ride the island. There was a slight mishap and I unfortunately used my face to smash my camera lens on the pavement. So if you'd like to see the last set of photos that lens will ever take, check out UNKLE.CA or click the photo on the right.

The Weekend Adventures...

Seem to never end. Last weekend we hit up Vancouver Island. Mt. Tolmie in Victoria provided for some awesome photo opportunities. We also kicked off the race season with The Sultan of the Shredder, where Andrew destroyed his competition.Check UNKLE.CA for Tolmie and Shredder photos. Next up... The Salt Spring Slasher.

It's been...

A crazy couple of weekends. First the rash, now Summerland.... Here's the footage from today.... Thanks Miller ..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA!

Dog Pro - Miller Goes Outside. from Adam Auger on Vimeo.

Here's Hoodie and Striker going to work on the rash.... or was that the airport they were headed to?

Almost winning.

The fine art of sandbagging, brought to you by Strike. Lee and myself threw this footage together last night, after a beautiful sunset seawall cruise. It's a little rough, much like this race. Cut us a little slack though for our first time with i movie, she's a tricky one.

Happy Birthday Me.

I spent the weekend in Nelson with my moms. We shredded the Gnar and got fresh turns. Saturday was retro day so I rocked the one piece and held it down with old school style. Back scratcher for the win. Didn't bring any cameras so no footy... but enjoy this instead... TURN UP YOUR VOLUME! ... and PUMP it outside!

How to ...

Climbing out of 5 mile basin

The end of this ride...

For Liam. Camping in 5 mile was great. The snow was the best of the season. And we learned lots about winter camping. 1. Bring a Write in the rain book so you can remember all the things you learned about winter camping. 2. Let the snow for your shelter settle before carving it out. 3. When it snows you may loose your shit, so keep track of it. Once again the polls have closed... and apparently willy D is a pimp yo. Pictures to follow.

Brown horse is mad at White horse...

... and there's clouds in the forecast. Today we're headed back into 5 mile basin to the base camp we set up Saturday night. Tommy is going to feed the animals, as we'll be gone for 2 days. Hopefully a large angry badger hasn't moved into my quincee overnight.

Semi stranded

So the girl who's house we're looking after had some "car troubles" in Grand Forks. Phillip subsequently drove to pick them up and take them to the airport. This has left me with lots spare time at the farm. I edited together two slightly different versions of a run Jim Z took with the helmet cam, and I'm curious which is better, I couldn't decided myself. So it's up to you "The People" to vote in the pole on the right... so VOTE! I'm off to hitch hike to the hill.

Yimr's Valentine is Ullr

I fell in love with another town. How could I not with the way they love the snow. Home baked pizza and hot chocolate while watching a game of pickup. Drinking beer with friends while snow sculpting and watching the locals duke it out on ghetto old Skidoo's. For nothing more then bragging rights and good times. There was also
a jump being built, and huge drop-in off the Yimr Palace for the big air comp... "a bit of a crowd pleaser" as they put it. So thanks, to Emma for throwing a rad party last night at which I met Morgan, who informed me all about the valentines festivities.

Into Thirds.... for your reading pleasure.

I split up this latest post because of the laps in time and sheer amount of stuff that has happend of late. unfortunatly none of this stuff is snow sports related. We've still been making it to the hill, there just hasn't been much in the way new snow, so there hasn't been much exciting skiing. I went to see a live production of "You're a good man, Charlie Brown" on Friday and learned a few things. Snoopy is the man (or in this case the woman), and its the clouds that make the wind blow, and the bugs that make the grass grow. Best show I've seen in years. Afterwards we went to Emma's house for a party... and party we did.

Lack of internet = Lack of communication

First and foremost, I'd like to thank Benjamin Keren and Carlos for there incredible hospetality. We stayed with them for the first part of our journey here in Nelson. Benjamin bakes delicious bread, Keren gives great hugs, and Carlos is a master of Carcasonian stratagy. Unfortunatly Phillip couldn't sleep too well with my incesent snorring. This lead us to search for more spacious accomadations. And by search, I really mean have our new place fall into our lap, like everything since arriving in Nelson. I've said it before and I'll say it again... this place is special. Now we're staying at our friend Caroline's house and watching her pets for her while she and Laurel are in Mexico. Caroline lives on Tommy and Connie's farm a way out in Blewit. Which is acctually only 15 min out of Nelson. There are peacocks, chickens, geese, horses, ducks, cows, and various other barn animals. One of which is the magical luck dragon named Miko. A very close relative to Falcor. Now lets hope that Kya, Tootsie, and Boo Radley are good while their mommy is down south.

There's snow in the forcast....

As it turns out, we had eggs Florentine, not bennys. I think Phillip likes the colour green. The holendaise sauce (from scratch) was divine, and esspecially nice with our sides of buttermilk pancakes, french toast, hashbrowns (with yams),and mimosas. After spending the afternoon at the hill, we went to The Sugar Shack for some live acoustic. What a venue, Erin, Tarynn, and Jody's house is amazing. Jody plays banjo and sings sweeter then anything I've heard to date ( http://www.missquincy.net/ ,no offence Duncan), and they served up homemade soup and pie, that was also some of the best ever. Met a gent named Tim Dennis who showed us his converted Landcruiser that he's making his way around the world in to raise awareness for www.streetkids.org . He left form Scotland and headed East. Can you say RAD, check out his website http://ramblingrat.com . Wow what a night. We topped it off with a kegger... thanks Steph...

Sunny, sunny, sunny days.

Our tans are coming along nicely. However, we're having to work much harder to get fresh turns. Today we skinned up the ridge to Prospector (which overlooks to resort... on the right ---> ). Then skied the knife edge back. Pad Thai and pizza for dinner. Eggs benny for breakfast.... Nelson is a magical place.

Tomatoe is no more

Apparently Whitewater accidently gladed through tomatoe last summer... we stopped looking and went to find some fresh backsides... hooray for hitching back to the resort, and the drivers that pick us up.

Finally more snow.

It snowed all night, and all day. Today was like a dream. Tomorrow however, is fixen' to be epic. I'm going to go wax my skis.

The polls have closed

An overwhelming 32 % of you think that Jim Z should give Nate at Landyachtz a call ....wait, there's nothing overwhelming about that. That answer simply has majority, welcome to Canada, Eh. I'll remember to remind Jim tomorrow, but I promise nothing cause I voted that he should go snowboarding instead. I'm sure we can find a few more fresh lines, even if it hasn't snowed.

The search for tomatoe

Hopefully we'll have better luck next time.

It finally snowed

And we searched for Tomatoe... maybe we'll have better luck next time.

More Safety Meetings

Phillip and I learned all about the layers of the snow pack. There are a lot of layers.... some might say the snow pack is like an onion.... not I. Here we are ontop of BEAR ridge eating lunch mid day. (well if you scroll to the bottom of the page you'll see what i'm babbling about)

Board Games and Saftey

Tonight we start our avalanche safety course... in the field tomorrow, in class at 5 tonight. We've been playing Carcassonne with our hosts Carlos and Ben... Best game ever!!! Maybe we'll just do that instead of skiing. hehehe, riiiiight....

Safe and sound

It was a beutiful drive today.... the inversion that is happening on the coast extends all the way to Nelson, which made for nice scenery .... not so good for the ski conditions though. But the drive was nice.

A slight delay.

We decided that showers and a nights sleep were necessary before setting out on our journey. We leave 530 tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the snowy mountains and the crowsnest highway. Road Trip!!!

In the begining...

The innernet was used only to hold your bidness in place. Since the rise in popularity of the Board shorts however, the innernet has gone the way of the dinosaur. So lets bring it back!
