Long Treks on Skate Decks Episode 11: Adult Decision

Welcome to Episode 11 of the Peru y Boliva long distance longboarding trip. Almost being seen by airport security, Adam, Paul, and Aaron decide to make the adult decision and not run across the Cusco International Airport. Getting out of Cusco proves to be hard and muddy but it is done and conquered. The crew pushes through strong headwinds and summits one of their highest passes of the trip 14,222 ft to be greeted by a alpaca convention at the top. The next day the team reaches the Alto Plano and is surrounded by beautiful rainstorms and rainbows.

From World Champion Freeskier to Farmer

NEMO ambassador Alison Gannett never stops. Whether she's rippin' it up on the slopes and teaching other women how to do the same or teaching members of Congress how to save money and energy while reducing the Nation's carbon footprint, Alison is always moving and learning. Recently, she left her home in Crested Butte to try her hand at farming in Paonia, CO. The Denver Post covered the story here.

Inside Footage from KGB

The boys over at KGB continue to put out some quality footage from their upcoming movie, Wyoming Triumph, slated to be released Fall 2011. This segment is from the Big Horn Mountains that stretch from northern WY to southern MT. While not your typical ski destination, the Big Horns offer beautiful rock formations, deep canyons, wild horses, and yes, big horn sheep.



If you've ever wondered what goes in to shooting a ski flick, check out KGB's Sandbagged series on ESPN. It's a behind the scenes series showing the trials and tribulations of filming in the backcountry.



Santa delivered my Marker Baron's a little early, should be on the new set up by Christmas!

NEMO Makes its TV Debut

In another random twist of fate, NEMO will have a cameo appearance in the CBS drama NCIS tomorrow night. Titled 'False Witness', The NCIS team investigates the disappearance of a Navy petty officer who is the sole witness in an upcoming murder trial. Apparently, he's out doing a little camping and hunting.



You just never know where you're going to find a NEMO tent.

DIY Timelapse

NEMO ambassador Adam C. has put together an awesome little primer for folks that want to get into timelapse photography. Here's the cliffnotes version (full version here):

STEP 1: Buy an intervalometer off Amazon.com.
STEP 2: Take your intervalometer and have at it.
STEP 3: Find what you want to timelapse and have fun.
STEP 4: Math.
STEP 5: Create the Timelapse (this part is super easy).

As a sampler, he put together this video to give some ideas and show some of the cool things that you can shoot. My favorite parts are the airport night scenes around 1:30.
