Winter gets a late start

While December and January provided less than ample snow for the Wasatch February has started to produce. Though the snow is coming in at a couple inches per day we will take it. And that is not to say that we have not had a couple big dumps here and there.

The lack of snow has lead Keenan down a new path, a path which, apparently is in turmoil.



Janky films has been trying out some cutting edge technology that capyures the most realistic POV shots in the business, here are some of the screen shots.




The technology is still being fined tuned but to be frank after this test I doubt it will make it to market.

Winter is now underway and though it took a minute to get here there is no doubt that good things are on the way.

Big Cat gets fat

Big Cat no longer skis, he just hangs out in the parking lot trying to pick up chicks:

Janky journey to Hawaii

Here are a few photos from Justin and my journey to Hawaii.  This is the beach where I learned most of my janky surfing skills.  I'm proud to state that I never cut off or crashed into anyone at this particular beach.  I cannot claim that for most other beaches we surfed.    

Sunset from a beach we camped on toward the end of the trip.  These colors spanned our whole field of vision.
Justin's summer job, I contributed for a week to help fund the trip.  Its pretty obvious who the true meatman is.
An evening at Annini beach park where we camped for the majority of the trip.

Since returning to the GMD I've been loving preseason skiing so I haven't taken a lot of photos but I will be updating the blog more frequently from now on.  On a side note, JP was salty all day for no reason, again.

Cure for the desire to ski found

A cure for the incessant desire to ski was found today in the candy aisle at the Billa grocery store in Prague 6.

Apparently you just eat it.

It's Dumping!!!

So Salty Days is finally finished and can be found exclusively on the NEW JANKYfilms.com.

The Utah syndicate has been hard at work both fishing the movie and getting ready for this coming season. We don't really want to call it training but we have been on steady regimen of freestyle calisthenics and living room jibbing. Apparently it is easier to do tricks when there are bindings attached to the board, these bindings also appear work best when made out of duck tape.

In addition to our cardio work we have been adhering to a strict diet of pasta surprise, rice surprise, and milkshakes. However, there have been contentious debates as to where the best

shakes can be found. Artic Circle took the top spot early on but the recently discovered Iceberg (two blocks down the road) is drifting towards the top, though it is moving very slowly.

What kind of cream cheese is that? Son, that is rice surprise.

While it is still fall down in the valley, up in the mountains, above 9,000 ft, on north facing slopes, winter is in full swing. We recently went to a secret early season zone known only those with an internet connection and the ability to read. The mission started out with some complications as one of the drivers was not informed that parallel parking would be required but thanks to persistence and complete disregard for oncoming traffic the sixth time was the charm.

We eventually made it up the canyon and began our trek on foot. The main attraction of the zone was the rhythm section which took the better part of a day and four shovels to build... at least that was our best guess because we just brought a broom and swept it off! ZAP!

Without divulging too much let's just say there were death defying stunts that have been documented in video. Tree taps, fire gaps, and crisscrossing trains all went down, it was quite the spectacle.

Because we got to up there so early it was quite cold still and a large hazardous fire needed to be constructed immediately. The closer to the jump line the better, we are really tying to one up the bail segment from Salty Days this year so next to every feature will be placed an alternate adventure.

We are anxiously awaiting falling snow and running lifts. Look for a little preseason edit coming soon, on that same note if you know of any new Biggie remixes send them our way we are looking to start this season off right!

In the meantime here is some High Quality eye-candy from Salty Days.
