I troll the blog-o-sphere on the reg. YoBeat inspires me to keep my shred-site positive cause they are just so damn cynical. You guys got a good thing going over there, don't be afraid to let the love shine through. Here's an interview they did with CAPiTA kid Cale Zima.

I had thee best day up the mountain yesterday with some of the CAPiTA whistler ams, Mikey Scott (Canadian TM) and our boy Blue. It wasn't much but it was great to mob the hill with the crew and line our boards up like wee CAPiTA soldiers were ever we stopped. We also got a chance to peep some of the graphic ideas and mock ups for next year and they are so, so sick, i can't wait.... Oh and at the end of the day i did a run with Devon Walsh!!!!!!...no big deal.

gnarcore.com doesn't give out A Walk In the Park to every one, or perhaps not every one can get a walk in the park. It's not as breezy as it sounds, you gota film it all in one day and it has to "feel" right or else it won't pass the gnarcore inspection. Andrew Burns is lucky he got help from some whis park goombas for his Walk cause i rolled up there the other day and we filmed  this piece in half a day. Oh and check the second trick in the first line -the fs seven jump follow- thats Coltan Showers a CAPiTA am from up in BC. keep an eye out...dudes got style 

Ya andrew!!!! i like it.

today was a very special day for me .
its been almost 13 years since i first head of Egon Schiele .
Today was the first time I was able to see some of his work in real life .
Better yet this is how my day went today .

We packed up the car and headed to Neulengbach .
The town Egon Schiele live in for a few years back around 1915.

Church in Neulengbach

We headed over to the Egon Schiele Museum only to find that where the paintings area closed
Better yet though , This museum is actually the old jail which housed Egon for crimes of immorality and pornographic material

Court yard to Egon Schiele museum / Neulengbach Jail

Rolling into the building we found NO ONE THERE .
literally we were the only people in the whole place
We walked down a few steps and I walked into Egon Schiele paintings .

I stood locked in Egon Schieles jail cell

In this Corner Egon sat looking at this door ( below )

where he painted this picture

in this spot he stood and looked at this hallway

and painted this image .

after the jail cell we headed to Tulln , Egon Schieles Birth town
were we saw tons of his original early works ,

and even his death mask .....

today was crazy ...
and tomorrow is going to be even crazier , I'm in Wein ( VIenna )
and tomorrow is museum day for me .. Schiele / Klimt / Picasso masterpiece day
