My hosting company has just expired so i’ve taken the trip across to dreamhost for all of my hosting needs. they give me a lot more freedom with my hosting package so the first thing i’ve done is to get my blog up-to-date and here it is. i’ll cease to use my old blog as of today and all updates will come through this site. If you were an old subscriber then you can just renew it by the links on the right – either get my updates delivered to your email account or via a reader (whats this?).

This latest blog is designed by myself and i feel its good to go out live now. If you see anything you don’t like or have any suggestions for improvements then just let me know, i’d be happy to hear them. Tell me what you like and tell me what you don’t like.  I’ll be able to fine tune it after suggestions to make it look nice and slick. I’m currently designing a new website for this blog to compliment which i’ll let you know about as soon as its ready to drop.

Huck Magazine has just released its latest edition.

Whilst over in Japan i shot some images of Dick Schulze for this issue. Dick is a 63 year old American who travels the world competing in the Burton Global Open series. Not content with just shredding, Dick enters all of the the Halfpipe competition on a circuit that takes him from New Zealand to Australia over to Switzerland then to Canada followed by Japan and finishing up in America….quite a journey!

Be sure to check out a copy of the Magazine, it makes for a wicked read.

Have just seen the latest addition of Pop Magazine, a free magazine based over in Australia. They ran an interview with Australian rider Andy Lloyd and one of my images ended up included in it. This is my first double page spread from last season. Happy days! 

The magazine is available online for free, you can check it out here.

Ok, i literally just got back from Cardrona where they were hosting the World Cup halfpipe event. It was an all out Japanese domination. They went huge! Kohhei Kudoh took the mens tiltle with one of the highest scores ever given in a worldcup event. just got the results emailed to me and head judge, Ste’en Webster, said Kudoh’s run was one of the best he had ever seen in his judging career. “Every hit in his winning run was sky high. As judges we hang out for years to see a run like that,”

Kohhei Kudoh’s winning run

It was pretty overcast today but i was assured that yesterday was an awesome day for the contest, “great for taking photos” i was told. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it because i had the chance to go heliboarding for the first time. Thoughts of going to the halfpipe event left my brain in milliseconds as i jumped in the car and went to the launch site. I only had a point and shoot camera with me but got the taste of what its like up there. Hopefully i’ll get a commission in the near future for a heli shoot……..its worth keeping your fingers crossed for!

Ummm, Heliboarding!
