HD with the T1i

I just upgraded from my canon XSI to a T1i.
A lot of the features are beefed up in comparison, but the thing that makes my heart sing has got to be the true HD video.

T1i test video #1 - Charlevoix Michigan from gofilmlocal on Vimeo.

Charlies Gnar contest Video

My buddy and park crew homie up at Nubs Nob made up this video for Romes annual Local Gnar contest.
I have a few clips and did a lot of the filming.

rush rush rush

So........
Philly and i rushed out of the conde, rushed down to Reno, Rushed to get our stuff checked. Then we just kicked it, had a couple beers at the bar, watched a little hockey and joked about the trip.
I got on the plane in Reno and that was it, Trip done.

Here are some photos from the way home.
Seatle Tacoma airport, such cool stylings.

i cant make any sense of why B and S gates are in the same spot! I had to walk like 4 miles to find my freaking gate. I decided they are together simply to let you know that it will be a bunch of Bull Shit to find your plane.

So after walking a few miles to find the B and S sign, i realized i had to ride the subway to get there, lol.

My flight out of Reno left at 6 p.m, my flight out of Seattle left at 11 p.m and i finally got back in to Detroit at 7 a.m the next morning only to get in my car and drive 5 1/2 hours back up north! Red eyes are not the way to go! Have you ever tried sleeping on a plane at 4 a.m sandwiched inbetween 2 people you dont know? I couldnt make it work, ahaha, i just felt odd about it.

Anywase,
I had an amazing time and i have Philly, Liquid Boardwear, Shawn Carney, Tom Zikas, Squaw Valley and Jon Mon to thank for it!
This trip was a real eye opener for me. Even with how hectic the whole thing was it realy hit home with me that this is what i want to do with my life. wether it be riding, shooting photo or video or ........ whatever, I want to chase snow, eat sushi, drop cliffs, blast methods off pole jams, drink beer with friends new and old, be stuck on red eye flights for 15 hours, hike in the mountains, get caught in mini avalanches (well maybe not exactly), run around with with no direction, bump in to people i respect for their talents and dedication, take runs in the rain, take runs in the sunshine, This is just what i want. I want my family son and wife to experience these things and their own things for that matter!
......I'll make it happen, one way or another!
