Mid Season success!
A quick update to keep you updated. The last few weeks have been on queue with mid season filming. It snowed a bunch a few weeks ago in Tahoe, so we mobbed out from Utah and shot there for a week. We basically posed up in South Lake at the SAGA world headquarters and built jumps in the backcountry. Kyler Cooley and Dylan Natale did what they do best, a bunch of straight airs, and we called it a trip.
We then headed quickly back to Utah to meet up with a few Canadians, Ian Cosco and Mike Mertion. They, greeted us with some Labatt Blue’s eh! Although the wind whipped the freshly fallen snow crystals we decided to build a few jumps for the promising forecast. If anyone gets the chance to build a jump with Ian Cosco, observe his ability to work while sitting on his butt the whole time.
The next day brought an emo kids nightmare, sunshine. With the jump ready Kyler and Dylan headed up to give er a go. Mertion on top of the runway quickly realized that his bowels weren’t ready so he quickly skied down, grabbed Cosco’s shirt and dispensed his waste. Once Cosco and Mertion relieved themselves, must of been to much poutine, The session was on.
With each acrobatic maneuver, and promising cheers from below, it seemed as though our day was going well. Mertion, for a park rat, knows what he’s doing in the backcountry. As he landed his tricks eh’s were being shouted by the Canadian contingency. Team America, fueled by the finest McDonald’s also had great success in their aerial attempts. At the end of the day two features were shared by the international alliance formed that day in the backcountry. In the upcoming weeks this group known now as the G9 will meet in various different world regions.
Hope all is well,
