He’s been pushing the limits in snowboarding and skateboarding from a young age… Now a man, Shaun continues to evolve by landing back to back double flips in a pipe competition this past weekend. Nice work Flying Tomato!

This 4+ minute video is a real time shot of a busy Japanese aquarium. Its amazing. But I just don’t know how to take it. I think the idea is to relax and take in the flow, at the expense of some incredible fish who look like they want to swim. Are they stoked on the fish party I wonder.

So far 2009 has been good to me and my mountain bike. The season started off with a new 6″ whip from Norco and lots of time and energy to ride it. Along the way I captured many hours of helmet cam footage and I recently got a chance to sit down at the computer to check it. Turns out its hard to watch sometimes and many of the shots did’t work out; either a poor angle or just too bouncy, too fast. These helmet cams units are great but I need to remind myself that they’re a work in progress, and anything captured is bonus.

Taking some highlighted clips, I’ve cut a quick video to share some great moments via my helmet. It’s raw and bumpy. Featured are a few of my friends who are some of the best riders on the planet, in order of appearance: 1) Pouch in Park City, 2) Larry in Nelson BC, 3) Gray flying down Windy Pass, 4) Jeremy Schaab in the mud and snow on Verbier, 5) Chris Winter in Zermatt, and 6) wrapping it up behind Mark D on various Swiss Alp gems. The music track is heavy metal for obvious reasons.
