They don\u2019t let rain, wet heavy snow, and weekend crowds ruin their experience. If you\u2019re going to drive hour and half to ride you\u2019re going to make the most of it. When I was growing up in Portland I had very few friends who snowboarded. Luckily I meet Andrew Nagel at the Windells winter camp in middle school and became friends with him. People watched snowboard videos, but they didn\u2019t enjoy them to the extent that Andrew and I did. Both us become aware how inspiring the snowboarding in <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/49009441\">Think Thank videos<\/a> was. I know other styles influence Andrew now, and\u00a0I hope this interview shows some of those flavors he has been messing with lately. I also hope that this interview shows how funny and clever a person Andrew Nagel, is and how lucky I was to have him as a friend growing up. &#8212; Jeff Holce<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: What\u2019s it like filming with Jeff Holce the athlete? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: It\u2019s pretty good.

I\u2019ve known him since 8th grade, I don\u2019t know he\u2019s always been really loose and out there with the things he does.

Why did you guys decide to go all natural?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: Well that was honestly his idea, but like everyday as the snow melted there would be more and more stuff to do. We\u2019d kinda eye something out and like a week later there would be less snow, so we could do it. That was our 5th full summer out there, not that it\u2019s a lot compared to some people, but our terrain park at Mt. Hood Summer Ski Camp doesn\u2019t have the most variety, so we kinda wanted to do something different.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-28-at-2.19.32-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-78148\" src=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-28-at-2.19.32-PM-764x425.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-09-28 at 2.19.32 PM\" width=\"710\" height=\"395\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Dubs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>AJ: What made you choose Mt.

I was planning on going to High Cascade that following summer, the summer going into high school. Then my mom bailed, she was like no way that\u2019s way too much money and I didn\u2019t have enough money to pay for it, so I signed up for Mt. Hood Summer Ski Camp. I met people there, met the head snowboard coach Mark (RIP), and then the next summer we started washing dishes and I was like \u201cJeff, come wash dishes with me, maybe we\u2019ll get another job there.\u201d He was like, \u201cno I\u2019d rather sign up for High Cascade day camp.\u201d He was definitely bummed for a bit, saying we could be at High Cascade right now, this sucks. But it turned out good in the long run.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>AJ: Yeah, when I think of Mt. Hood Summer Ski Camp I think of Jeff Holce, especially on Instagram.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: Do you think the owner of MHSSC knows that Jeff Holce runs their Instagram?

It was I think the first ski camp on Mt. Hood, for ski racing and stuff and at some point they started snowboarding too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-25-at-4.49.51-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-78149\" src=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-25-at-4.49.51-PM-764x550.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-09-25 at 4.49.51 PM\" width=\"710\" height=\"511\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>On the set of Naturally.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: What\u2019s the experience like compared to the WAC camps &#8211; what\u2019s the difference?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: Well\u2026 There\u2019s way less snowboarding media and stuff going on, it\u2019s kind of just like a summer camp with snowboarding. There\u2019s no camp sponsors, no product tosses or whatever, no activities to win like snowboards and stuff. It\u2019s just way more low-key.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: How\u2019d you get into filming?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: When I was really little, I did some random filming with my friends, skateboarding in Portland and stuff. We were probably like 12, and then I didn\u2019t do it for a while. Then Jeff and I started filming each other at Timberline, I think freshman year of high school. Then he went away to boarding school after that and I kept filming random people and friends at Timberline, and that\u2019s how I got into it.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>AJ: Did Jeff\u2019s parents not love him enough for him to got to school here, so they sent him away?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: No, I think they love him enough to send him away.

Has the scene here changed or evolved or is it the same shit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: I don\u2019t know, when I was growing up here I had no idea about a snowboarding scene. I wouldn\u2019t hang out with anybody from my high school except for this one kid who lived on my street, but I would just spend all my weekends and some weeknights at Skibowl or Timberline. I had a group of friends that I\u2019d snowboard with, so I guess that was my scene.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: You didn\u2019t realize this was where pro snowboarders go to die?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: No, I realize that now I guess, which is cool. Portland is really fun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: What\u2019s your favorite thing about Portland?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: Well, I guess I really like all the trees and fresh air and stuff, there\u2019s always different types of outdoor stuff to do. In Utah some days spent outside are equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes. The winter that 3deep5me was filmed, Salt Lake City had the worst air quality in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: Why did you decide to move there?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: For college originally.

But for real, all the people moving here are changing the landscape a lot. I\u2019m not down with these condos and townhouses popping up everywhere. People move to Portland thinking it will help them live a lifestyle that\u2019s like straight out of a catalogue or something.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>AJ: I like the people here more. They\u2019re more down to earth.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: Yeah I don\u2019t know, the only times I\u2019ve been to California was like Disneyland with my family when I was little and then snowboarding at Big Bear and Mammoth. I don\u2019t have any care to go to LA and hangout.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>AJ: Yeah, it\u2019ll drag you down. It\u2019ll crush your soul.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: You&#8217;re gonna waste a lot of your time in traffic. That\u2019s another reason Californians shouldn\u2019t move here is traffic. They&#8217;re causing way too much traffic. So, let\u2019s talk about your early video influences. I mean obviously, you\u2019ve watched a Bronze video before&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: Yeah I love those videos, there is nothing better. Obviously there\u2019s some influence, but I mean I feel like there\u2019s more to it than that. Everything is influenced by something.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>AJ: How much does tumblr influence your videos?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: I haven\u2019t been on tumblr in like a year, so I don\u2019t think that much at all lately, but tumblr is cool. You can find some fun stuff on there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: What do you shoot with and edit with?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: I have a Panasonic HPX170, which is very fun to use, and I have a MacBook Pro with Final Cut 10, or X. Also, last year I picked up this camera called the Pixelvision 2000, that\u2019s kinda what I filmed some of the B-roll with. I don\u2019t know if you noticed that grey blocky stuff, that\u2019s what I filmed that on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: What do you think makes a good snowboard edit? What makes something that you wanna watch?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: I mean first of all there\u2019s gotta be good snowboarding. I really like to watch videos of people I personally know. If you know someone\u2019s personality it\u2019s fun to tie that into how they snowboard, or skateboard or do anything else. But, good snowboarding is kind of something you gotta have these days too.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>AJ: How would you define those things, like what \u2013 is good snowboarding just either you know it or you don\u2019t know it or is there like a formula?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any specific formula, I guess some people do stuff that\u2019s more interesting than others.

Skyler Riley, when he makes videos they\u2019re good, and I like watching the people he films. Footyfiend videos, those are always great too. Whenever Lucio is in a video I watch it. Garrett Read makes great vids too, especially when Kevin Hanson is in them. Seamus is dope. And then there\u2019s some other kids at Brighton that always make cool videos too. I like Chad\u2019s videos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: Chad Unger. Is that the deaf kid?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: Yeah, he\u2019s deaf, so his videos don\u2019t have music or anything so it feels like the most raw it could possibly be. If he puts in lifeys he doesn\u2019t know what they\u2019re saying, he just kinda puts them in cause they look cool or seem funny I think.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: Yeah so it\u2019s like more visual and he\u2019s not like relying on multiple senses.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>AJ: That\u2019s wild.

And I took a little tiny bit of time off, then went back for film and media art. And that was far less challenging.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AJ: What school?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: University of Utah. I started at Westminster.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: What\u2019s the difference between Westminster and the U? Which one did you like better?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: The U is way better, I actually felt like I was at a college. You get the real university feel. If you want you can basically be invisible and sit in the back of class and not talk too. But at Westminster, you\u2019re still doing \u201cIce-Breakers,\u201d to get to know all your class buddies and stuff. I don\u2019t know it\u2019s tiny, it\u2019s like a high school all over again.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>AJ: What\u2019s it like, like culturally coming from, Portland, which is a be a pretty liberal place, to Utah, which I consider to be fairly conservative?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: I guess that never really crossed my mind but, living out there for school people weren\u2019t maybe as open to things as I thought everyone was. Like things that would be kind of a shock out there are nothing to me. I don\u2019t know, a lot of people out there probably still hate gay people or something. I feel like I was cool with them since age 3 or something. Salt Lake City is a fun city though, it\u2019s got its own quirks and stuff.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>AJ: And when they have snow in the city it\u2019s great.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: Do you think it makes sense to save things for a web edit or for a full length video or with Instagram and the opportunity to just put it out \u2013 does it matter anymore?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: I mean, I like save stuff, if it\u2019s just not some random stuff that you do everyday in the terrain park or whatever. Especially if I\u2019m like working on a video or if say you\u2019re at a street spot that no one\u2019s been to. In the past I definitely have told friends too not post anything at the spot. I feel myself starting to care less about that stuff now though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: Do you value your worth in likes?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: Vimeo likes maybe. But I feel like comments weigh even more. If they comment, that means they really like it, or they really don\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooke: As long as they feel something, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: You gotta kinda like it to hit it with a heart on Vimeo, but if they comment something\u2019s up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-25-at-4.51.56-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-78157\" src=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-25-at-4.51.56-PM-764x763.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-09-25 at 4.51.56 PM\" width=\"710\" height=\"709\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Not-so-subtle Signal advertising?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Shout outs?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Nagel: Nick Sappio\u00a0and SEGCOS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The man behind the SEGCOS lens on Oregon vs Utah, MHSSC and melding minds with Jeff Holce the Athlete. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":78147,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[2251,2252,2900,2194],"tags":[2695,1303,2696,119,2697,2698,706],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78132"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=78132"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78132\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":91963,"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78132\/revisions\/91963"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/78147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=78132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=78132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=78132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
