More footage from Jackson Hole born and bred John Rodosky. The “In The Works” crew happened to be passing through Jackson and hooked up with John for a few days of pow slaying and boosting off booters. The whole 8 minute edit which has featured on Transworld Snowboarding online is crammed full of smooth shredding from the In The Works crew, but if you want to skip through to the Jackson Hole pow-fest, it starts at 6:05.

The Amplid team knows that Cartel rider John Rodosky is one of the best all-mountain riders out there. For the past couple of seasons John has been achieving some great results on the North Face Master’s tour and proving that like a lot of Jackson Hole locals, big mountain riding is in his blood. Last weekend John rode at the Kirkwood stop and was just squeezed off the podium into 4^th place. John impressed the judges and media with his solid riding style and some ballsy fall-line drops, in their report of the event, Snowboard Mag said “Moss Halladay would kick it off for the men and put down a huge fall line cliff drop with no hesitation. His smooth riding would put him in the hot seat for most of the day before Jackson Hole’s John Rodosky would take it over. Rodosky would put down a killer run with a huge fall line cliff drop followed by some of the smoothest riding of the day.” We’re looking forward to John’s performance at Snowbird, Utah where John made the Superfinal last season, fingers crossed John will get a podium this year… he definitely deserves it.

The smell of log fires lingers in the air, snow is falling heavily on mountain ranges all over the northern hemisphere and in just under two weeks everybody will be sat around a dinner table stuffing themselves with turkey. What better time for an Amplid ShrEdit, featuring skiing and snowboarding from the Amplid Cartel and Ambush teams!

A short film about a fun skateboard trip I embarked upon in early summer 2011. Spent a week cruising around to all sorts of skate spots in Johnny’s super sketchy rape van. Sounded like a good recipe to make a skate edit. Hope you like it!
