Bio: I'm a 27 year old

skateboarder/
photographer who
has been skating
for about 14 years,
and now mostly
take photos while
other people do the
skating. I live in
Ottawa, Canada and
work full time as a
software developer
and shoot in my
spare time.

M iami roadtrip with the OnDeck team was pretty fun, I flew down there (skipping the 28 hours crammed in a minivan)
and met up with the guys for a week of skating, swimming and more skating. We had sweet hookups from the Team
Manager Aarons dad, who had a timeshare just outside Miami. We ended up with a sweet condo like hotel with 3

bedrooms for the 6 of us. Our days usually started at about noon, getting up to go for a swim by the pool, then watch
some videos till about 3 or 4, then go meet up with a couple of the Miami locals, and skate till about 4 or 5am, then
repeat. We had lit up another spot around the corner from this one, Tomas and I got pretty bored of it fairly quickly,
and decided to just skate around ollieing curbs and stuff. Tom found this polejam, so I grabbed my gear, set up, and
shot it in a couple of tries. It ended up being one of my favourite photos from the whole trip.

ot Rocks (5.11b R) is an 80 foot finger crack located on the Rock Hudson wall of Joshua Tree National
Park. Jer wanted to nab the onsight of this classic line so we trekked our gear up the short trail in
hopes of getting him on it, and not missing our flight later on that day in Los Angeles. Jer not only
cruised it, but did 3 more laps for good measure before the alarm sounded and it was time to head west
into the LA smog.

 The shot was taken during the filming of a ski movie called PNW here in Whistler. I'd come across the
wall when I was walking through the area before the winter. It's pretty well tucked away in a new
housing development up the mountain. I'd seen a few snowboarders hitting wall rides in some of the
movies from the year before, but I knew that skiers hadn’t really had a good session of a similar sort yet,
or at least not caught on film anyway. I called up the film company Theory-3 Media and told them
about it. We rented a generator to get the dramatic nighttime look and it worked out perfect. Austin
was sending it super hard all night and I have shots of him right up against the roof! But I like his form
in this shot; it’s my favorite.
