Cory Cronk – Wallride
Lake Tahoe, CA
Hanging out with the FODT crew last winter was great. Hard working guys and a great filmer. The group had set up a wall ride on a popular feature in Tahoe. Shooting it down the tunnel I felt like I was looking down the bellows and out the lens of an old camera. The silhouette and coloring only added to the photo. See the original on flickr.
Desillusion
Ryan Tarbell – Sugar Bowl, CA
I’m so happy this shot was FINALY published. It’s hands down one of my favorite photographs of all time. Shot in Lake Tahoe in 2009 on my Hasselblad 500C/M. Ryan Tarbell lays down a frontside 180 with the most G’d up style. Knees in the face! Are you kidding me?
This image of Nick Poohachoff is my most successful image to date. It has run as the Cover of Playboard Magazine #57 in Germany as well as a full page in Transworld Snowboard Magazine Vol 23. December 2009 issue. Playboard has popped my cover cherry and very big thank you to them for that.
Here is a little background on the shot that I wrote up for Playboard.
The beam that Nick Poohachoff is Frontside Boardsliding is a beam that supports an abandoned train tunnel that runs threw the backcountry know as ASI around Sugar Bowl Resort. Nick set up this jib and tested it all by himself while we were shooting another feature 500 yards away. Had he caught his nose while he was by himself he easily could have fallen and died and we would have had no idea.
