KILL SLAYER

 the next trip is about a month away. watch drews edit to see what happened last year. 2008 is from aug 10-12 this year.

Asshole in a snakeskin suit.

Well I just got back form my first trip to Boston. Being that I shared an Apartment with my good friend “Boston” Ben Burnes for a few years, it felt as if I was home in a weird sort of way. While Ben was not around (hes in Africa) to show me the sites I did get to go to a Red Sox game in honor of his absence. NOOO-MAAA! I yelled though I’m not sure he (Nomar Garciaparra) is still on the team. Being in that stadium was like being at the heart of American baseball fans. True heart is poured into every game. Old men that can hardly even walk are shouting and shaking their AM radios the opposing team. The entire place shrouded in reds, navy blues, and this time around bright green for the basketball fans fresh off a win. I didnt know whither to love it or loath it… well who cares give me a Fenway Dog and I’m good.

After the fun and games it was off to work… with fun and games. This time around the mission was to go to Providence RI with pro bowl player Matt Light of the Patriots to romp around in the wilderness with him and his friends. We came up with a Triathlon of sorts for these Giants to head-off with eachother in a “may the best man win” game. Needless to say there was plenty of trash talking, gun firing, arrow shooting, and vehicle rolling. All of course I caught on film for Kawasaki.

The most surprising of the journey was to learn more about Matt and his fellow pro-bowlers. They are all really nice funny dudes, but they also share something in common with me. They really could give a shit about football, and most mainstream sports for that matter. They have a job to do. They go out there and do it well and spend the rest of there time with their families or hunting. “I never saw a super bowl until I was in one” he said to a curious co-worker. And thats all he said about football. I like that. He’s a good guy and he is smart about what he does. 

thanks Julio. Your the best.

This weekend I threw down an idea I have had for a while now. It’s a series of commercials with rollerblading as the underline theme. I cant say much more about it other then I enlisted the help of many good friends for there help and this thing is gunna be huge. Check out some shots from the set. Stay tuned.

This Last week i got to go to Moab Utah to film a UTV ralley. Translation, a bunch of dudes who trick out there golf carts and drive them off huge rocks. It was cool because it was the first time i got to film/ photo out of a plane. We flew high above Moab and Canyon lands park to get some amazing shots. 

Then it was off to Infineon Raceway to film a Road Race motorcycle event. Not much unlike any other event on this planet where the freaks and tweaks come out to get sunburnt for the sake of the sport they may or may not be that into. For me it was a lot more fun under the umbrella of Kawasaki who hosted the event. So we got to run around with the movie stars, super models, and a boxer. Not to mention the fun invite only events that consisted of racing kids size dirt bikes around a mini course. Very fun. 

Part 3 of Kawasaki adventure. I’m not too country and i’m not to rock n’ roll, but I do enjoy shootin’ guns. This last week I had the pleasure of meeting 2 country music legends. Hank Jr. and Hank 3 took me turkey hunting among other things on the land that country music built. I’m sure everybody has herd Hank Jr.’s music (Monday night football), but his rising star son Hank 3 has a different taste. His music is dubbed “Hell-Billy” style and it is a quaint mixture of country and metal. A great time with Shelton Hank Williams thanks for kickin’ ass!
