The Tooth Traverse

Pieces of the attempts Zack Smith aspenexpeditions.com/i-Zack-Smith-103.html, Freddie Wilkinson thenamelesscreature.com/ and myself, Renan Ozturk, rockmonkeyart.com have put into climbing the ‘Tooth Traverse’ of the Ruth Gorge, AK.

There has been a lot going on surrounding our adventures: The 1st attempt vimeo.com/6038303 was heavily embarked upon only days after the memorial for the deaths of our close friends vimeo.com/5065432, the 2nd attempt ended with helping with body recoveries of other climbers in the gorge thenamelesscreature.com/2010/07/25/a-hard-freeze-away/ and the just before our proposed launch day this past spring I almost died in a skiing accident vimeo.com/21904471.

Beyond the allure of enchaining one of the most iconic (& untrodden) skylines in NA the Tooth Traverse has come to represent so much more than that to us. With my healing going well (vimeo.com/26531646) and the inspiration (and angst) greater than ever we are planning another attempt in the NEAR future.

I see the eventual story breaching some pretty heavy topics involved in alpine climbing: sponsored vs. non-sponsored expeditions, dealing with death and the effect tackling dangerous objectives has on friends/family.

At any rate here is a little window into our work in progress. ~reo

Louif At Home is live. 

Bonfire presents At Home with Louif. At the end of last winter we went to Quebec and ended up shooting some random stuff around the house with Louif. That random stuff turned into something that is not your average snowboard edit- it is a glimpse inside Louif’s life at home when he’s not out filming.

This is a pretty big wave.

Horgasm - A Love Story

Go watch it, it’s good!

From iTunes:

Horgasm- A Love Story is a super-happy-go-lucky-hilarious-good-times rollercoaster that will let you in on the lifestyle of Torstein Horgmo, the record-breaking snowboarder who has become one of the hottest names in the snowboard scene over the last couple of years. As snowboarding has grown from its small beginnings into a multi-billion dollar industry the scene has changed. See that world through the experiences of Torstein as he travel’s the world filming in areas of spectacular scenery or while he competes in Olympic arenas with crowds of thousands. Horgasm- A Love Story goes beneath the surface to show you not only the fun, the friends and the good times, but also the pressures, the highs and lows that have made Torstein who he is.

Birdmen is a documentary film about the dream of human flight becoming reality. For millennia, humans have looked to the sky and dreamed of arcing through the air, like birds. And now, after hundreds of thousands of years, humans can fly. It is dangerous, deadly, and requires years of training, but a select few have committed their lives to the pursuit of the purest form of human flight: Wingsuit BASE Jumping.
