Tekko and I took the Ruben, Slezak, Dylan, Ian and Joby up to Timberline to meet up with Dre and Toby (Core Magazine) for some kicker and slider sessions on the snow.

Dre was smooth and cool as usual, Slezak is a f&%*ng closet prosnowboarder, Ruben was out of control, but boosting, and the Inept Crew oozed of smooth style on the sliders.
Tekko, Toby and I took some photos and video.

Here are some videos I just finally uploaded.
Check'em out. More to come once Forrest helps me juice up my computer video card.

Jason Slezak (white) going for a rodeo? Timberline park kickers (he nailed this move 2 or 3 other times that I didn't get in video-he's going to kill me for that!)

Wow great chase cam work Pepi... can you give us the names to match the outfits so we know who's who?

Also what did you shoot that with?

Hi Phil :

Just edited the above posts with names of the riders.

The camera I used was a Sanyo Xacti HD 7.1 w/60x zoom. I actually had wanted to get the waterproof version of this, but found this one which is apparently has much higher resolution and lens quality. As an afterthought, even though I got a silly killer deal on this, I kinda wish that I had the waterproof version for on the water filming.
The 60xzoom is amazing for a camera of this size, but it definitely requires a tripod when using the zoom since it is so powerful and the camera is so light.

Here are a couple of photos from the day:
