GoPro Play

I am too lazy to edit and upload GoPro video clips but I can’t say enough how much of a fan we all became after using GoPro this season- So how we got our hands on it goes like this- Nathan, his cousin and Alex went to the SIA show CO in Jan or Feb- Nathan and cousin was there with him too, and he entered a raffle to win a GoPro and won! He gave the prize to Nathan for use for their work and so the experiment started.

The biggest advantage about this little device is that it’s very small and light, and has built-in fisheye view for video/pictures, all the while recording crisp HD pictures and video clips. For active sports lovers it’s such a treat to be able to film yourself or your friends in action without lugging around a big and expensive video camera. The battery lasts a pretty long time and even with the highest resolution setting, a 32 GB memory stick is more than enough for a couple of days of shooting. Operation is simple and straightforward.

There is no LCD so you can’t play what you recorded or see how your shoots went, but it also means that there is no LCD to break should you hit the camera against something, which happens way too often in our world.

It also comes with a waterproof camera case so you can take it swimming, surfing, or wake boarding.

What I did in the pictures is this- I set the camera on continuous picture mode (takes one picture every second) and climbed on the rail – Attached to a ski pole, this little gizmo makes everyone happy.

Nathan filmed me a lot at Mammoth and he’s truly amazing at shooting snowboarders. I tried to copy him by volunteering to film Nathan and he scoffed at what I did end up filming :< That boy has talent. Maybe instead of hitting all the jumps and things he should go into snow-filming!

You can see complete product information at http://www.goprocamera.com/ !

Just had to say how much of a fan we all became.

I had a good experience with their warranty department too- The unit Nathan received was defective and within a week they sent a new device over and it’s been working well since that- kudos.

should i climb this?

let's see! let's lug my ass up here

WCI 05022010

After sending my mom off to Korea and sobbing like a tokki I am, I chilled at the airport – I got drinks from Starbucks and read ‘Samurai Deeper Kyou’ (Manga) Until my laptop broke on me- (Curse you, Toshiba, I am ordering a Dell Studio 15 for my birthday, and I shall not spend a penny on another Toshiba, ever again) Luckily I didn’t have a lot of time left when my laptop broke so I grabbed a magazine on notebook computers and boarded the flight to Mammoth – (My trip was cheap at the total cost of $122 – Because I booked ahead-)

Shaking like a rattle the plane departed the dusty LA sky- Look here- I don’t usually fly during the day so it was interesting to see LAX from the air-

: View from the air- LAX!

After about 20 minutes they served beer and wine so I took the opportunity to sip on free booze. And when I was not even done with my wine, they said we were ready to land- And when I looked out the window, everything underneath was covered in snow- I assume it was the Sierra-

: View switches to this when we cross the Sierra – Snow covered rocky mountains

After nibbling on some food we headed to watch WCI- This was my third year watching the rail jam at night and it was really cold- Everyone did well and I was surprised how young the crowd got compared to previous years-

: @_@ ! @WCI Railjam

We took a good spot but it was very crowded :< And some 7 foot tall guy and his gf stood in front of us blocking everything :< I felt like a midget.

: It’s SO cold every year but it was colder this year- Bonobo got sick from standing out too long :<

: Quack! Yonincy duckly

: This is the setup- Riders seem to get younger and younger-

Setup was pretty basic but the middle kink rail seemed to give people a hard time- Personally I think Tyler did really well too but the prize went to Ryan Paul- I am glad he got it because his front flip 180 really made the competition hot and from what I hear more than anyone he seems to need the money ! 10 grand yo!

Mammoth Treats

3 reasons why I flying to Mammoth is cool

1. Flight time is 1 hour and 10 minutes

2. They serve you wine – after you finish the glass, you are already there

3. I got to take pictures and talk with JP, Simon, Joe Sexton – I mean I’ve seen them at bear before- Passed by them, I eyed them etc, but I never really had the chance to talk- Very cool! Bonobo kind of made me do it too haha- And JP made me say that I suck because he asked if I was representing at Bear after I said I go to Bear and Mammoth almost every week during season- So hearing that I ride very often JP Walker asked me…

JP Walker: So you repping out there?

Me: Uh, actually I kind of suck :< I don’t have a lot of power-

JP: But snowboarding is about finesse too-

Me: Uh…. :<

JP: So you are an all around klutz huh-

Me: Yeah :< My balance isn’t that bad but overall it’s a miracle I snowboard at all-

JP: Yeah but what can you do?

Me: backside slide :<

Simon: Back 5?

JP: Backside Slide-

JP: Do you jump at all?

Me: small ones only!

…. (silence)

Me: But I have a lot of fun -!

JP: That’s the most important part!

Me: -_-;;

At Mammoth Airport with Joe Sexton, Simon Chamberlain(cute and tall!), and JP Walker! What a treat

At Mammoth Airport with Joe Sexton, Simon Chamberlain, and JP Walker - I am not the most outgoing person in the world so it took a while to conjure up the nerves to say meekly "Can I take a picture with you guys!"

Clouds of Mammoth- This too, was a treat

I never thought I’d be riding Big Bear in April!

4월에 베어를 탄건 처음인듯 한데 슬러시했지만 날씨가 생각보다 추워서 재밌었던 하루!

맴미로 올라가는 팀에게는 마지막 날이였는데 날씨가 써니였으면 좋으련만 약간 클라우디한게 흠이였지만 오래간만에 여러명이 뭉쳐서 라이딩 해서 뭔가 시너지가 굉장히 좋았던 날! 사진은 멋진걸 많이 건지지 못했지만 모두들 굉장히 멋있는 모습들 보여줘서 구경하는 재미가 쏠쏠했어요~

나는 여전히 하던대로 했찌만 왠지 나도 같이 분위기 업되서 별로 잘 안타는것도 올라가서 타고 더 빨리타고 무릎아픈지도 모르게 재밌게 놀았네요 ‘-’*

보노보는 그 전날에 아마 술을 마셨기떄문에 컨디션이 별로였던듯 (자신은 아니라고 하지만 항상 술마신 다음날은 별로 재밌게 타고 있찌 않는 보노보!)

모두 열심히 탔는데 이상하게 놀고있는 사진이 더 많네요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 사진에서 즐거움이 묻어나서 기분이 좋아!

정수오빠! 너무 귀여우신 포즈로 SoCal에서 제일 높은 슬로프에 올라가서 찍었음! 내가 베어가 벌써 3년째인데 여기 처음 와봤다는 ㅎㅎ 내려올때 스윗치로 오고싶었는데 경사가 ㄷㄷㄷ해서 너무 무서웠어

원맨- 리프트에서 사람이쳐다본다! 완전 높아요!

알레한드로 감 잡으시고! UFO!

사실은 이번주엔 frontside slide연습을 많이했는데 앞을 보면서 다리를 락하는건 성공했지만 앞다리를 예쁘게 못구부려서 사진 올리고 싶지 않아요 ㅠ.ㅠ 그래서 맨날 하던거 한장 -_-

이날 GoPro HD로 계쏙 찍어줬던 태콴! 스키타니까 멋있음

무서워 보이지만 의외로 성공률은 굉장히 좋은 뭐라고 불러야 할지 모르는 박스- ㅎㅎ 업박스에다가 꽤 길어서 끝까지 힘차게 가려면 속도가 꽤 빨라야하는데 나는 너무 빨리가면 많이 무서워서 오빠들처럼 힘있게 나가지는 못한다는 ㅠ.ㅠ 그래도 탈때마다 사진 한번도 못찍혀서 인증못한다고 아쉬웠는데 보노보가 찍어줬어요!!

일남 플랫레일 내려오는! 나는 항상 그옆에있는 박스뿐 ㅎㅎ 나도 레일타보고싶다!

지누오빠도 오래간만에 파크에서 오래 시간보내서 신나게! 볼컴스톤같이 생겼는데 이게 그거던가 아니던가 - 하튼 멋있어요!

롱다리 영지랑 함께! 나 너무 작아보인다 우우 ㅠ.ㅠ

마지막 날이라서 신난 팀! 관광하로 ㄱㄱㅆ

절대로 절대로 무슨일이 있어도 서로에게서 떨어지지 않는 바퀴벌레 커플! all day 바이오리듬까지 같음 완전 신기 ! 귀여워요!

영지: 맞아야 정신차리지- 매에는 장사 없다!

지누오빠 준규 TK!

뭔가 제멋대로인 느낌의 사진 ㅎㅎ 그래도 분위기 좋은게 느껴져요

단체사진- 나는 왜그런지 진만오빠를 쳐다보면서 다리는 쭈욱 찢고 막 난감한 포즈 ;;

"이제 베어 쫑이다~ 맴미가자~!"

My Knee Hurts :<

My right knee hurts- Especially at night- When I try to go to sleep, I get pulsating sensation on my right knee- I get it sometimes because I think I ride Goofy (For you non-snow/skateboarders, goofy means that your right leg is dominant and you put the most pressure on your right leg, thus more stress on my right leg and knee :<) but this time the pain is here to stay for a while- I don’t think I will go to yoga either until I can figure out what’s going on with it exactly-

I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow to see how serious it is-

awwww.

Sunny Day!( HELL YEAH ) @ Big Bear 02282010

Sunny Day! 전날 온 눈이 거짓말이였던것처럼 그 다음날 베어는 최고의 눈상태를 자랑하며 맴미랑 맞짱떠도 하나도 꿀리지 않을정도였다 - 아침의 눈은 뽀도독뽀도독 다 닳아버린 내 보드 엣지가 다 걸릴정도! 그리고 뉴져지 분들 다행히 일찍오셔서 빤따스띡한 라이딩을 함께 즐겼삼~!

이 fisheye pictures들은 GoPro HD 라는 작은 비디오 카메라로 찍은건데 굉장히 작은 물건임이에도 불구하고 굉장한 화질을 자랑했음 ㅎㅎ 근데 자꾸 찍다가 꺼지는 단점이 발견! SIA show에서 던져준거 받아와서 그런지 고장난듯해서 금방 warranty를 받아야할듯!

I love fisheye lens! 날씨는 꽤 따뜻해서 속에 입었던 thermal을 벗어서 걸어놓고 탔다- 헬멧은 그래도 꼬옥 끼고 탔다 - 나 이날 아침에 완전 날라다녔는데 고프로가 찍다가 꺼져서 한 frame도 못건졌삼 ㅠ.ㅠ

요닝 바보같이 나왔지만 다른분들이 사진에 있어서 올려요 - ㅎㅎ 난 무슨 오징어같아

고태관의 고프로 촬영기 후후 - TK 뉴스쿨 잘타던데~ 스키로 옮겨가라는 전폭적인 지지를 받고 스프링 맴미에서 고프로로 촬영 담당할듯한 고태관군 ㅎㅎ

눈부셔 >ㅆ< 보노보의 빤짝이 의상- 저거 내가 입으면 무릎아래까지 내려오고 난쟁이가 됨 - 키가 크긴 크구나 보노보

뉴져지 분들 ! 사진 찍는 내가 솜씨가 이래서 >ㅅ< 많이 못찍었다 같이 ㅎ ㅔ ㅎ ㅔ -베어에 완전 반해버리신듯- 일루 오세요 이사- 내년부턴 가티 베어에서 캐빈 크은걸루 잡고 같이 놀죠뭐 ! 열정들이 대단하신듯! 모두 재밌게 그리고 잘 타시던데~ 동부에서 저정도면 여기 오심 날라다니실듯

형제들 ㅋㅋㅋㅋTK의 뉴스쿨 티쳐를 담당하는 아마 나이 12살 이상 차이날 로컬 꼬마도 중간에 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

몰래캠 몰래몰래 요닝크 살짝~

헬로헬로! 모두들 꼭들 이사오세요 '-'*

newschool!

Get The Burger Sweet Potato Fries! We were so starving after about 5 hours of riding- We went to Get The Burger I hope the Jersey crew liked it- I know I did!
