Four days of snowboarding madness upon the slopes of Mount Bachelor...everywhere you looked or pointed the camera someone was flying off something...totally radicalness thanks to Snowboarder Magazine. Can't wait till next year! Blotto

Made it to Bend, Oregon for Snowboarder Magazine's Superpark event...number 17 went down this week on the slopes of Mount Bachelor. Two hundred fifty snowboarders and countless media swarmed the corn snow to attack the man-made obstacles placed all over the mountain.
You can head over to #superpark17 on Instagram for a ton of images and you can visit snowboardermag.com and look for their daily video drop summing up each day's action. Thanks to Trevor Patterson for the #vanlife photos you see here and taking care of the Burton crew with the Superfeet Premium Insoles. I'll post up some more Superpark images in the coming days.

Nice to be back in Mammoth working with Tyson, TJ and the Unbound Terrain Park crew...they've prepared a very nice snowboarding kicker for the ladies, along with a couple other features. We're working in the same zone where we built some challenging terrain for Burton's Standing Sideways film couple years back. I'll check back in asap...enjoy, Blotto

Next on the schedule is Kimmy Fasani's Amusement Park Photo Shoot at Mammoth Mountain, California. She'll be hosting some of snowboarding's most notable women riders as they fly through the air on the perfectly tailored features created by the Mammoth Unbound Park Crew.
Getting to Mammoth is always a treat as you make your way through the scenic Sierra Mountains. My route started in the Bay Area, with Sonora Pass being the most direct route in linking up with Highway 395. Once again there was no disappointment driving over the pass taking in all this area has to offer from behind the wheel. Blotto

The next few days I'll be at Squaw Valley Resort working with the Burton and SPT crews documenting this big booter pictured above. Day one was good...riders figuring out the in-run speed, jump and landing angles, cinematographers sorting out angles while Adam Moran and I size up some picturesque compositions. Cheers, Blotto
