After getting tubed in a fake-wave at the Tienda Vans Mall Sport signing Chima Ferguson, Kyle Walker, Curren Caples, Rowan Zorilla, Elijah Berle and special guest Chris Russell hit up Santiago’s Parque de los Reyes for the second demo of the Vans Propeller Latin America Tour and proceeded to get down for the rabid Chilean skate scene.
By the end of the summer my old friend and trusted FYM editor Christian, called me telling me about a short film idea he had, which he wanted me to feature in.
The film goes to portray the burning passion that I have had all my life for my sport.
It’s been super fun working on the project, focusing on all the details and getting each shot perfect. We have really been putting a lot of time into it! So hope you like it.
In extension to this film, I’d like to thank all the people in my life for all the support over the years. LOVE YA! Couldn’t do it without you!
HAPPY NEW YEAR and remember don’t compromise – LIVE YOUR DREAMS

Location: Whistler B.C. & Tofino B.C.
Introducing, Fingers Crossed. Claudia Avon and I set out this season to create a web series. We were both in the same mind set to ride and film in the backcountry and were both feeling the challenges of creating content: crewing up, filmer, project etc. We decided to take matters into our own hands and channel our frustration and determination into our own little passion project. A scary and exciting move to ask for funding, to dip into our own savings, and to then commit to producing something to share with the world.
To put it frank, we had a tough snow year in Whistler. We had lots of precipitation, but the rain just wasn’t changing to snow. We made the best of what mother nature was providing and practiced as much patience as we could. For whatever reason, the snow just wasn’t showing up. So we jumped on a boat and headed to Tofino to dip into the ocean and replenish the stoke.
