E3 2015: Division Street – Day Two
To begin day two, I had to get my hands on one of my most anticipated games of 2016: The Division. Ubisoft initially revealed it two years ago and until now, they hadn’t shown any true game play, or even a playable build of the game. After waiting for nearly two hours to try it out, it was well worth the wait. … read more

Skate Photo Feature: Ryan Lay
I was lucky enough to shoot with Ryan Lay while he was in Utah a couple of months back. He has an eye for unique spots and a nollie reminiscent of Paulo Diaz. This is my favorite shot I got with him: keeping it classic with an Anthony Pappalardo–esque backside 50-50 in SLC.

Mike Brown: Miss Utah!!!
A few weeks ago, I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing the current Miss Utah. The last time I interacted with a pageant queen was when I was asked to show a former Miss Utah how to skateboard on the live morning local newscast. Needless to say, she ended up eating street on live TV

Heaven Adores You @ Broadway Centre Theatre 06.16
