Praying For Snow at the ULLR Ball, Sponsored by Voile...
Two Norse gods were in Salt Lake City on the night of November 9, 2013. One was Urrl, the god of snow, at the Urrl Ball Save Our Canyons Benefit party and the other, a movie featuring some boring gentleman with a hammer. The idea of the benefit was to pray for snow; the purpose of the event was to protect the beauty and wildness of the Wasatch canyons, mountains and foothills. … read more
Film Review: Cold War
Every person wants to be remembered in some fashion. What Sandoval finagled down a 20-stair or what Burman did on a handrail in Philadelphia won’t be forgotten. The Zero crew stuck to their roots and put together another classic video. Cold War is a must buy for anyone who is into handrails, Minor Threat and skulls. … read more
RAMP Bamboozle!
On Saturday, November 2, RAMP Sports in Park City escorted all things snow to the forefront of our thoughts. The Bamboozle, as it’s called, is an eclectic mix of art, music, food and delicious red, red wine (with beer sprinkled in for color). The event featured a gigantic Yeti (think Bigfoot) at the entrance so any excuse for not finding it wouldn’t fool anyone. … read more
Ring Rats Anonymous: UCW-Zero TV Taping @ UCW Arena 11.02
This weekend, the (posthumous) Halloween spirit of mirth and trickery hung thick over the ring at the UCW-Zero Arena. In the crowd, I spotted a hunchback, a few princesses, a very convincing King Diamond and even a Mankind/Mick Foley costume. Wrestling fans have always liked pageantry, and that’s what they got this weekend! … read more
Outlaw Union BMXS
“Ski bike … It’s what you think it is,” says Cameron Wood, local BMX pro (S & M, Lotek, Shitluck), as he explains his new product. “Literally, a ski (or skis) on a BMX bike.” My jaw drops while my brows furrow, and the questions begin … … read more
Brandon: Zee Burning Hobush
The best memory I have about Brandon Hobush was my first day on the job digging in rails for Brighton Resort’s Park Crew. He was the first person to show me how to build and ice over a snowboard lip out of nothing more than some shitty November dust and my ass. That was Brandon’s last winter working for the resort because, pretty quickly after that, he became a big-time movie star out there in the industry. … read more
Beautiful Godzilla: Cycling Behind-The-Scenes with Debbie Larsen
There are a lot of over-the-top personalities in the cycling world––myself included. These people often get recognized because a) they lead a lot of group rides or have some kind of bike-related job; b) they are always out on their bike, rain or shine; c) they’re incredibly loud and obnoxious cyclists. Then there are people like my friend, Debbie Larsen. … read more
Snow Photo Feature: Brandon Cocard
“When in doubt, lay it out.” Not sure how many times over the years I’ve heard this tired cliché, but it’s usually … ahem, backed up with a giant backflip. … read more

The IBM stairs are big. I have wanted to shoot with someone here for a long time, and who better to skate these stairs than Oliver? … read more

Ring Rats Anonymous: UCW Zero Live TV Taping @ UCW...
Festivities began with a recently “heeled” Derrick Janetty full-on inviting the audience to go to hell and a hearty proclamation that both he and Martin Casaus would be holding on to the Tag Team championship, by hook or by crook, to an arena-wide flurry of boos. This was until the American Pitbulls, comprised of Jason Jaxon and “The Captain” Craig Stevens arrived to issue their challenge for the belt, all to take place during the main event match. With the crowd tense n’ ready for the melees to take place, the event was underway. … read more
