Even though the stories Andrew Miller put up on the Vans Tahoe Cup are WAY better than just the photos I have I am still putting some up on my Blog. Besides, there are probably like 5 people that look at my Blog and not the stories so these are for you, Mom, Dad, my girlfriends sister checking up on me and like 3 friends, ha, ha. Also, I like walking around the contest with my camera and when people ask me what I am shooting for I like to say “I got a rad blog” when in fact I am shooting Vans, Snowboard Revolution and so on, I still like to say “I am shooting for my Blog” These photos are from Friday afternoon, before any contests really started. Basically, the worlds best were just cruising around the resort, practicing.
We tooled around with Aaron Bitner last season and did an interview, he is a nice quiet guy, lets his riding do the shit talking and his riding can kick some major ass
Louie Vito is one of my favorite riders for sure. Not only cuz he rips but he is pretty much always having the most fun
Don’t know who these two are
Andreas Wiig in practice
Andreas Wiig again, 2007 Tahoe Cup champion, X Games champion - name it
Torstein Horgmo showing why he won the 2008 X Games
Hana Beaman (and Tara Dakides and Janna Meyen) got hurt at the X Games, maybe a torn ACL but she still came out to support
The pipe
Molly Aguirre won the railjam Friday night and I am so stoked, I was afraid she was getting into the model thing too much, luckily I was wrong and she still rips - nice too
Danny Kass in practice. This photo is dedicated to Tom Zikas becasue he says my photos are hot (hot meaning too much light) and this proves he is right. I spent all weekend turning up the shutter speed and flash to darken the snowsurface and highlight the rider. Let me know if you notice a difference between todays and Sundays photos
the Ricky Bobby of Snowboarding - 1st or crash - Andy Finch, love to watch this guy
Elena Hight won in 2007 and 2008
Louie Vito in the pipe
Torstein
Andreas Wiig looking down the course. Just think, just following him, copy what he does and win 25,000 for first place
