Athletes

It?s summer time!!!!! The summer glacier is in full swing and the bike park is open but winter is still on my brain.

Untrackedlines.com has seen its first full winter. Along with our featured athletes, we kept our noses to the stone to keep you in the loop about everything going down in the coolest ski town on the planet!

Our amazing group of Whistler Blackcomb athletes, as well as many other athletes that came to visit us, told you why they come to ride, stay, or live in Whistler. There is really no need to explain once you have been here, you can be on the snow all day, hit up après, grab a nap or a hot tub and then head out to paint the village red (not literally of course, that would result in some serious issues with local law enforcement). There is never a need to wait until the weekend here in Whistler, you can party like its 1999 anytime! (I know the 1999 thing sounded lame but it needed to be said. And, what the hell constitutes partying like its 1999 anyway?)

springtime multi-sporting in full effect. i love this time of year, do some shredding, come down early then go skating, a bike ride and finish off the day with some climbing and dinner at 10pm. or skip it all and camp out on the beach and go surfing.

had some fun surf just recently with DCP and David Aubry. Just the 3 of us out, trading waves and enjoying a beautiful sunset session.

it's gonna be sick on the hill the next few days, sunny, super slush. and tons of snow left. oh and the bike park opens this weekend too. all sorts of stuff to do this time of year.

camp fire and the early morning poke the head out surf check..

I just got a new puppy!!! Another red Siberian Husky, his name is AXL and he's 10 weeks! I flew him all the way from Missouri and it was worth it!! I thought it would be good to get a buddy for my other one Mika, but unfortunately she's pissed! Hopefully she'll come around and realize that it will be lots of fun when he gets bigger and faster!! Well i got my hands full now!!

Saturday, May 3rd marked a momentous occasion for the Sandbox crew and for our new film, 'ALL DAY EVERYDAY'. We finally had our first bad ass helicopter shoot. The Whistler/Blackcomb marketing team, along with the park staff put together one of the best sunset film shoots ever done in Whistler. The jump was perfect and the riders had a lot of time to warm up and get it dialed while the sun dropped below the clouds. We called in the heli and got Clayton and Hockenstein suited up in their harnesses ready to hang out of the doorless chopper. Clayton had never even been in a helicopter before and now he was hanging out of one. By the time the riders, filmers and the pilot got their timing right, the sunset was perfect. The pressure was definitely on and everyone stepped up to the challenge. The pilot got the chopper really low and tight to the riders, Clayton's shots were smooth and the riders stomped 900's and 1080's as the sunset lit up the sky. After waiting anxiously through three days of bad weather and all the work and effort to build and maintain the jump, it all came together in a fast paced, two hour session of flying, filming and riding. Wish you could have been there to see and feel the energy of it all. Can't wait for everyone to see the shots in the new film. Special thanks to everyone who helped make this shoot such a huge success.

I went up sledding at Brandywine the other day with photogrpagher Crispin Canon, it was amazing!! We just decided to go for fun but bring our stuff anyway.. we found this cool gap over a crevasse and decided to build a jump over it. It was super fun and the photos turned out really good.... but you'll have to wait and see when it comes out somewhere..

Here's a few pics from the day..
