Wyoming is awesome, big mountains, gorgeous rivers, lush flora, good people and home to Teton Gravity Research. Driving over Teton pass I was stunned by the bright hillsides covered in native wild flowers. And surprised by the amount of snow still clinging to the upper ridges, and bowls. But luckily as the road wound its way down the snow rapidly disappeared leaving the trail head of the famed “Jimmy’s Mom ” jump trail seemingly clear. While the mission to Jackson was primarily to work in the editing suite with the TGR crew, the alterer motive was riding the bike. I look forward to biking in Jackson all year long, the Jump/DH trails there are top notch, and there is a big community of riders that are super fun to shred with.

This is where it all gos down, edit one with Tate MacDowell. Countless hours are spent here pouring over footage, interviews, music, and at times Jack Daniels. It is a unbelievable task that goes on behind the scenes here, Mad respect to all those involved in turning hundreds of hours of raw footage into a 5o min snow masterpiece.
A critical roll in the post production team are the interns, they get a crash course in every thing related to making a ski movie from shipping to editing, here the interns and I are getting a camera loading lesson from Josh Nielson.
loading film into the camera is a delicate task made easier by interrogation style lighting, once proficient film loading must take place with littte to no light and in a cold winter environment.
Loaded up for some MTB good times!
Tate got this photo of me sending one of the funnest jumps on the trail.
