SIA Recap

Been in Denver for the past week hawking next years Electric product. Long long week but definitely some good times. Here is the highlight reel.

My fearless sidekick/twin brother Jordan Mead and his fresh shades

Straight of the plane we went to a seedy Mexi restaurant and Jordan got a childs size Margi

Ran into CPB mid training for his "How much weight can I lose in 30 days" marathon. Lookin good Browner.

Jordan about to get a pubic urination ticket

What an amazing duo. The Party Sorcerer and the most epic CEO ever

During these trade shows what little sleep we can get is absolutely imperative. The second night we got in around three AM. I specifically asked Nate to NOT set his alarm. He must of thought I meant set all four of your alarms and then hit snooze until Jake throws your fucking iPhone through the window.

Dustin did a top sheet design for our close friends over at Weekend Snowboards. Turned out sick!

This would be the mountain board demo ramp. A little much? Its like a 50 degree slope.

Jordan just picked up this brand. I think its going to be big.

Their first prototype board

We had an Electric company dinner and we asked Amber to stand up in front of everyone to tell them why she loved working for Electric. The girl called out bluff and had the balls to actually do it.

Volcom had their Blizzard Bizarre tour in town so we were basically on stage during ASG (one of my favorite bands, look em up). Seth, Bruce and I thoroughly killed it. I even got hit in the head with a half full PBR tall boy in the mess of a crowd. They finished with two Queens of The Stone Age tracks, fucking ill.

Look how stoked Seth was

Bolts Represent at Cheba Hut

I could eat there everyday just for their Treats. Rice Krispie and Fruity Pebbles. What?!

Got to see RZA as well.

Bobcat and some sweet fur shades

I tried on some prototypes for Jordan, and so did he. EG3.72, you saw it here first ladies and gentleman.

And ran into this guy. Check his cow pelt clogs. Amazing

Monster Trucks

We went last night. Brought back memories from when I went as a grom. Now Jer can tell Cru he took him too. Redneck events are always fun, no matter how old you are.

Packin Heat


My lady was nice enough to gift me with exactly what I asked for this Holiday season. Now I just need to learn to use it on a setting other than AUTO. Thanks Babe!

Back On

Been off the map for two weeks or so and between working my ass off and Christmas in the desert I have had no time on the computer. Here are a few randoms from the past two weeks.

This is what Christmas looks like at my families, masked by alcohol

Dre's new Red Wings, and attitude


Got light up work hats from my Dad, hey it might come in handy come garage time

Dre is such a kid, the ironic part....this cup said "Extra Kool" on it

Snowbird



Nate and I had an appointment at Snowbird yesterday. Too hard to resist temptation, we had to ride.

Dumping Part Deux

So I woke up Monday morning to this...
and thought to myself, how in hell can I NOT go shredding today. Dustin, Bruns and I powered out some powie wowie runs for days. So much fun.

Morning drive was epic looking

Bruns and the stretch(not an STD)

Dustin getting ready for a hernia

Dustin and his MJ moves

Bruns on his "First Day"

Dumping

Sunday I went up and shredded Brighton Solo. The storm was in full effect and the roads were sketch dog.
Hairball

When I got there.......

When I left

Waist deep

Jock-o trucks arent meant for the snow, Sheriff pulling homeboy out

Pride and Prejudice

A little late to the party on this one. Two weeks ago the Jones family threw a Christmas ball with a Pride and Prejudice theme. Here are a few snaps from my camera, and here are some better snaps that Stone and Jer took.

4x3-2+8/2x3

Dre was nice enough to round up my Rat Pack of friends here in SLC to go out for my Birthday dinner last night. I figured a handful of people would show up. Much to my disbelief four handfuls and one finger all came, 21 people in total. We went to the best Mexican food spot in SLC and in my opinion, one of the best I have yet to come across. I was so stoked at the melting pot of close friends that I had in one place at one time. I cant thank them enough for coming to eat, drink, and laugh. Dre had Mint Chocolate Ice Cream cupcakes made for me too, total one upper. Afterwards we attacked the bar and it definitely went from mild to wild. Thanks to all the homies that showed up, and a special thanks to Stone for doing what he does best and capturing epic moments in time. Cue Slideshow.........now.

Dinner is served


Mariachi, you're fucked if you get that word in a spelling bee

.......and TJ couldn't get his thumb out of the bottle all night. Have you tried to drink without your thumb before?


Reppin North County....Hard

My favorite moment of the night for sure. Group shot at the Travelodge with the Stucco slide. Think of it as microdermabrasion for your ass cheeks.

This sign couldn't of said it better

One thing you might not of read on the reviews for the Travelodge West SLC is that it has a beautiful 24 hour pool with a wet bar and lifeguard on duty

Dustin and Chris shooting their album cover

Since Stone was taking photos, we needed someone to impersonate him. TJ did a damn fine job

They went for Kung Fu Panda, I went for footlose

Again, on my own program. Looks like TJ and Bruns are having a battle royale

She tries to be so tough. Great capture of the Jekyl & Hyde we have going on


Disclaimer: These last five shots belong no where near any of Stone's work. However, I am a great point and shooter and these needed to be in this post.

I specifically asked all of our girls to shave last night but there were so many retards out that this was the best anti-douche attracting method they could find, and it still didn't work.

Brothers from another mother for sure



Not sure how the "Hair Blowing" contest got started last night but Stone and Jordan should run special effects for music videos


THE END

Question: Are those mountains in the background

Answer: Yes they are. In fact thats the the Wasatch Range cause there
is now and In N Out in Salt Lake. Yuhuss! The simple pleasures in life.

Holiday for the Birds

Today was another Thanksgiving for the record books. Jordan and Annika have graced SLC with their presence for the second day in a row, and we still have three more full days! We cruised up to Park City this morning to schralp for a few hours before we ate Turkey and fell asleep.

He thinks he can jump higher with these.

I asked Annika to give me her best PKC pose. She delivered.

The lovely Fishers, Mead, and yours truly.

Somebody has been jibbing in their lawn all summer.

Husband Fisher and his flawless style.

Tuck Knee

The Nike's, doing their job.

Wife Fisher just making me question why I even snowboard.

Off to eat with the family in chaos

Snow Treads



Finally dove in and got a set of winter tires. First season I have had some legit rubber for the ice. These things are like Mud Terrains. Hopefully these will reduce the tightened butthole moments when the car is about to slide off the road and into a frozen creek, hopefully.

God's Revolver*

If you are reading this post then I can safely assume that you are relatively in tune with what the fuck is going on in life. With that said, I also assume that you probably follow Bolts//Action or Black List Visual and you might of heard of a little "Utah Supergroup" called God's Revolver. Stone put a little of their music to my ear and I was hooked. These guys rage and in my opinion are a hybrid between Clutch/Murder City Devils/ASG and a little Danzig thrown on for good measure. Luckily for you cheap effers you can download their newest tracks here for free-o. So do it, you aint got nothing to lose. And again, you're welcome.

Season Pass



Went up to get my Oh-nine Oh-ten Brighton pass last week. Found these sweet jams the other day. Memories.

TCV


Watch out motherfuckers, there's a new band in town, and they tear the fucking roof off. Definitely been the freshest shit I have listened to in a minute. I am biased though since Queens of the Stone Age is on my iTunes rotation every minute of the day.

Them Crooked Vultures is comprised of Josh Homme(Queens, Eagles of Death Metal, Kyuss), Dave Grohl(Queens, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, as if I had to even list this), and John Paul Jones(Led Fucking Zeppelin). Can you say killer power trio?! Anyway, they dropped their self-titled debut album today. I have had this thing on repeat for the past week or so.Open your iTunes and buy buy buy. Enjoy, and you're welcome.

Unexpected


Got a sweet gift from the UPS man today. Mr Jordan Davis Mead III sent me a pair of JJ syndicates that I have been on the hunt for and a DDC Field Notes book so I can write "I love Jordan, I love Jordan, I love Jordan,......" 20,000 times over. Thanks Homie!

If you're in SLC....


tomorrow night, then I highly suggest you hit up the Dollars for Doman art show. All proceeds go to help out our friend Dave who has some medical bills he needs a we bit of help on. There are some rad artists and good people.
