Ben's andretch 360 landed on the cover of the new SBC,  the photo annual.  so stoked on this one,  ben had a killer video part in VG if you havent seen it yet go watch it and also stay tuned at DEJA VU for news and other stuff you are dying to know about the whole crew. this movie is going to rule

you cant see it, but he is smiling 

some stats

So every year TWS have this thing called the exposure meter, they compile every single photo that runs  and give points and add them up. hell of a job for whoever does it... but yeah sounds like I did pretty good!

They are cool in Sweden.

So we were shooting in Stockholm last week, and one night we were hitting this lamp post thing when the swedish cops showed up to see what we were up to. One of the cops just pulled out his phone and started shooting photos of Chris (his timing was pretty on point if you ask me) and then asked if they could get a photo together. the funniest thing is, the next day they posted a story about it on their facebook page! I guess theyre not all dicks.. here is the translation:

From the official Police Facebook page:

"World class!

Sometimes we find the unusual and funny things when you're working. A bunch of snowboarders, from Canada and the United States, went on for hours on a film set last night. This is really close to the police station in Huddinge.

The guy who joined us in the picture is named Chris Grenier and is a worldclass snowboarder. They were here due to all the snow that arrived in Stockholm, and they film for a snowboard movie that will be released later this year.

A very nice feature of one besides gloomy night for many. Take care of each other - we wish you a good weekend!

Midnight in Calgary

Earlier this fall my band (hoopsnake (hit us with a like while youre here) played NOCTIS fest in Calgary. it was the best. Noctis has been going for a couple years now and this year they had on the bill Venom, Speedwolf, Midnight, Pig Destroyer, our buds Ancients from vancouver, and Psycho stick to name a few.. but so many others it was going on for 3 days. sickest weekend ever we got the full rockstar treatment which is almost weird cause we're used to play dive bars and eat pizza. anyways. got around to shoot a few photos of Midnight and then I realized I only brought one roll of film. so thats all I got...
