Seattle Goes all out for Think Thank’s Winter Social
Getting dressed up makes everything better.
Soggy Seattle’s Downtown Throwdown
This may come as a shock, but on October 9, 2010 the Downtown Throwdown in Seattle, WA, got rained on. Not only did it rain, but over the five or so hours of action in Occidental Park, it went from a light northwest-style drizzle, to pounding east coast-style down pour and back again, a couple times. Competitors stripped off their soaked sweatshirts when they got too heavy, and the crowd huddled in plastic bags, but seeing at it was pretty much an a fall day in Washington, no one really let a little inclement weather get in the way of a good time. Personally, I came prepared with stylish rain…

Top Chef Part 3
After losing the soup off, and the Totino's Party Pizza challenge, I figured it was time to let some other people do the cooking. I brushed up on my hosting skills by studying Padma for weeks (not really) before we headed to Seattle for this latest Top Chef installment. This time it was legendary pro snowboarder Peter Line competing against my former challenger, Party Time Nate, and the theme was hot dogs! Peter was kind enough to host in his insane Seattle pent house that sort of made me feel bad about my own home. Maybe I shouldn't have given up on being a pro snowboarder after all... It was…

Story of My Life
I am supposed to be writing a story about the BMX finals at the LG Action Sports Tour, but the thumping alt rock beats of MXPX are sort of distracting me. So I figured I'd link to the two stories I've already written because I know you are dying to know about all the action in the Inline Vert finals and have no idea where to find out! Day one Recap: Halloween references, shake ups in the inline world and an attempt to make gansta rap sound interesting. Inline Vert finals: At least someone new won so there was a somewhat interesting story to go with this one. During all…

Seattle Local
I am back in Seattle for the second weekend in a row, this time for a warmer, but much longer event, the LG Action Sports Championships. While in appearance this event is on the scale of a Dew Tour, it seems when I mention it to people the most common response is, "What's that?" I've been here for two days, but the actual event doesn't start for an hour. So far, the most action I've actually watched is a skateboarding bull dog shredding and slobbering on the street course this morning. So far I've just been shooting some head shots and making famous people hold up YoBeat stickers for my…

Snowboard time, already.
Between YoBeat, some print stuff, and the newly launched Snowboarder.com, I am feeling the pressure to come up with a lot of content right about now, especially since I want to keep alliancewakeskate.com going strong. But you know, it doesn't say Extreme Journalist on my business card for nothing, so here's the latest. As I mentioned Snowboarder.com finally launched and I had one feature up there. It was originally going to be for YoBeat but Nick always gets screwed by people with budgets. Anyway, Nate helped me out a ton on this one, about the shipping process. Looks like I will be doing more regular stuff for that site as…
