You'll probably find out in a few seconds anyway so we might as well just tell you, this is more than five. But what were we supposed to do? Tell Colt, sorry, don't want your clips? Hell no. It's Colt Morgan for God's sake and if he sends an email with seven people he's made memories with over the years, well, we're going to run it.

 

Parker Szumowski—Fence Spring Pop Shuv-It:

The spot that essentially gifted our independent video project its title, “Spark Plug” So at this time we had recently obtained a winch. Went to a few spots that day and couldn’t get the thing to work so naturally we boarded on the spots differently. The way Parker chose to interact with the fence really got me hyped. I really enjoy finding new ways of utilizing something, and he did just that. 

Pretty sure after those clips were filmed we discovered the spark plug had been disconnected on the winch, then Peter Cerulo got this uprail over a fence clip.

 

Luke Winkleman—Line:

Riding a snowboard down a snowy street is something I’ve always fantasized about as a kid and then eventually became a reality in my life. Filming this line with Luke was a fun experience that I believe holds a bit of self projection.

 

Jesse Paul—Front Board:

I’d been friends with Jesse for a while, I’d been on film trips with him and knew how capable he was of stunting on his snowboard. So when I got to work on his Real Snow part with him I was excited to come up with some crazy ideas, which Jesse was usually way down for. Thought about airing out of the tunnel for a while but wasn’t too into winches, but with it being real snow and working with Jesse those thoughts just went out the window. Jesse made it so cool and I love his style on it.

Thanks Seamus for shooting the rolling long on this ;)


Jordan Morse—BS 180 on BS 180 Out:

So this was my first project I ever made, and I was crashing in Jesse Gouveia’s bed in Salt Lake. Andrew Aldridge took all of us out to separated down down that formed a kink rail. And after Jordan did a BS 180 on SW BS 180 off I asked him if he was down to get a fish as cut shot and that next try he laced it again. Pretty awesome to meet Jordan then and still feel that impressed by him today. I feel lucky to still see him somewhat regularly after all these years.


Cooper Whittier—Over Vert Wallride:

So many of the clips I’ve filmed with Cooper feel memorable to me. This one specifically was a classic Dustbox, midnight in Minneapolis. This random guy walking by didn’t like what we were up to, tried giving us a late night lecture on respecting the neighborhood and Dan just wasn’t in the mood. Completely ripped into the guy and yelled at him until he left. All because a little snow strip across street.


Robby Meehan—FS Boardslide Pretzel Line:

Grew up watching people board this double line and always thought it was perfect looking. So to have had the chance to film on it with my friends on multiple occasions was cool for me. This one especially in this part reflects strongly on how I like to view snowboarding. Thank you Robby and Dan for being a part of that.
