Hello, SNOWboader people (and those who are NOT!). Welcome to our first photo peek of Project X-evan… an extreme sports athelete!
We know many of you are waiting for winter and the upcoming ‘shred’ season… so, in the meantime, we have created Project X-evan, a fine collection of that which represents both danger and joy of this extreme sport… snowboarding.
Well, this past weekend, we went to one the most popular snowboarding resorts in the local area and met up with Evan and his mom, Sheryl. We were all super motivated to have some fun and excitement to shoot before the real season kicks-off. After all, there was no waiting in lines, not a lot of people (actually, no people at all!)… for that matter, there was not even snow… but we had the park all to ourselves!
Yet, Evan was all over the place and we just followed and had the Canon ready. Snowboarding is a lifestyle… snowboarding and nothing else. Kind of living life without fear… this is Evan!
We were in awe of Project X-evan and are excited to share this sneak peek with you. And, remember… 92-day countdown to the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics is fast approaching!
