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!

This is my final project for my Snow & Avalanche class. Scientific inventions weren’t really my thing so I made this film as a tool for me to remember some basic safety steps out in the backcountry, as well as share some knowledge with friends who may not be aware of some basic knowledge. Thanks to David and Joe for helping me out on short notice!
