Belated Al Wilson Bday post

Last weekend Al Wilson had a birthday party at the new Globe Mini.

Tonnes of crew rocked up and ripped, you have probably seen tonnes of fotos and footage elsewhere I just wanted to post a couple of fotos of Steve Gourlay who was for once not taking fotos but ripping as he does whether in front or behind the lens.

Tail grab on the extension

Beer influenced backside ollie

Styled out Rock and Roll

And lastly in case you haven't seen enough footage from the day here is a little Kerry Fisher shredding

The Sverdviks will be back at Buller this year

And I cannot wait to go shredding with them and show their new addition Dulcie how fun snow is, winter can not come fast enough thats for sure.

Here is Monk, Tara, Lars and I under a moose as our friend mike moose metro was on the couch this day !

Krista you will always be in our hearts !

Yesterday one of the greatest people I ever got to spend time with passed away.
Krista was one of the most motivated positive people I have ever met, whether it was ripping the skate park, shredding pow and selling the dream working for Burton, Krista could do it all. No matter where you went you knew someone who admired or loved her and I know she will forever live in everyones hearts.
Transworld posted a couple of articles on Krista which I hope you will all read article one and article two

Krista and Mitch in Chile


Id like to finish with a little story, years ago everyone at Burton was on a trip to NZ we where all up at snopark and everyone had a awesome day and was chilling at the bar/bbq area I did another run and caught up with Krista who was hiking the 1/4 pipe i decided to hike it with her for a while she was ripping I slammed over and over.
At the end of the meeting they had a slide show, Krista got an awesome method shot and I hoped for a cool shot to from the 1/4 pipe too but all they had was me upside down slamming I was bummed for a second but then remebered Id remember that day for the rest of my life shredding with kirsta in a foreign country having a ball
Krista we will remember you forever and miss you dearly.

So Long Clint Shirvington

This week one of our longest workers at Burton Australia decided to move on to concentrate on family life. .
Sorry but I lost some crazy shots from Mexico which was a great trip with Clint, which I'm sure he and everyone that was there will remember Clint getting thrown out of the club by some heavy duty Mexican bouncers.
I will really miss working with him and thought Id put up some photos of some good times, I have had with him over the years
