Do you dream in black and white or in shades of loam and leaves? When you dream, do you revel in that sweet silence as you float weightless before landing again? Are your dreams filled with the sounds of tires smashing berms and spraying hero dirt? Is ragged-edge speed your number-one best friend?

“Growing up in Boston,” says street skier Cam Riley, “I passed by Alewife station countless times and this was a spot that we never even considered. Only because of the incredible amount of snow that fell in the city was this even a possibility. I knew there was an opportunity here that I could not pass up.” This scene was shot while filming for TGR’s documentary “For Lack of Better,” directed by Clayton Vila, who said, “Filming that shot was surreal. Every year we try and go bigger, but that was just crazy. Cam did it again.”
