BOZWRECK 3000

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Last night we had a Bozwreck/VG video party with a bunch of homies at Aaron Biittner’s place.  I gotta say that if you don’t buy Bozwreck 3000 you are a filthy buster. This video is an instant classic.  Seriously man, this video will make you laugh for hours. Not to mention its stacked with hamms.  Not an official review here, but some highlights stuck in my head are: Bradshaw on and off his board, Bob Plumb, Keegan, Chad Tarbell, Tim Ronin, Matty, Eacott, DEADLUNG!, BOZUNG!, CALE!!!  Shit will be available for download and on hard copy in August, go to the BOZWRECK site, buy that shit!,  and support snowboarding that isn’t wack!!

I stole this photo from House of 1817, but it’s cool.. I took the photo on Ashbury intern Anthony Cappetta’s camera. This was from our drive back from the premiere in Portland after only 4 hours of sleep. This guy has things dialed.

Pretty sure this is Louie Vito. Halfpipe guys got insane double corks nowadays, this photo is mid double!

VG Premiere: Portland

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

mainWe decided to jump the gun a bit and have a pre-premiere.  The video being 90ish% done, we figured a little leak would be a good time!  In typical junkshow fashion, the audio sounded like it came from a boom box.  None the less we sold out the venue, and from the noise, it would seem that people enjoyed the video.  Thanks to everyone who showed up!! Special thanks to everyone who came, but was unable to get in. We owe you guys!

Mikey was rolling with his video camera, sometimes he got us when we weren’t ready for it. Maybe look for an edit soon?

Gus Engle and Esthera Preda holding it down for the galaxy. Gus has an amazing part in Think Thank’s new movie Cool Story. And Esthera has a cool chick flick coming out, “Peep Show”.

snarskidrunk

The most physically imposing Videograsser, Jan Snarski, came into town and was the life of the night.

Jake Olson-Elm with the new Videograss hat. All you need is an old Video Gangs hat and a sharpie.

Desiree and Lance flirting as usual.

kyleface

Snowboarder’s Kyle Kennedy extended his flight to hang with us for the video. Here he’s pretending to hold a grudge, but he loves us: FACT. See that Thrasher shirt? If you were from Quebec, you’d pronounce it, “Trasher”.

The ghosts came out for Ben Bilocq’s part.

Look at this person on the bottom right, poaching the video with their phone. I guess you’ll be seeing VG on youtube soon.

VIDEOGRASSaturdays Webisode 8: Lance’s Elph Bear compilation.

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

DAMN! A whole week without posting anything…. Sorry but we’ve been busy trying to finish this movie.  We will be sure to have some more content and recent updates for you soon!

week8_imageSince Lance lives so close to Big Bear, and the VG crew spent a lot of time cruising the park, it only makes sense that he put together a mini digi cam video.  Here is a “best of” with the VG crew and friends enjoying the park at Bear Mountain.
