Mike Thienes making yet another epic edit for us all to watch. 

Past and Future, all in one day. 

Jake O-E came and made some faces for everyone. 

Jake and Sam, Midwest's dream team of filmers minus riley. 

Sam's shot of Kritter Smash! Coors BABY!! 

Jonas Michilot taking it back to the black snow. Boardslide down the kinker!! 

Danny after a long day of judging! 

This is the, 'grrrrrr, that was impossible everyone was killing it!' face. 

The Youth Shelter making sure the goodie bags were filled to the top! 

Garrett and His mother, Mary. Gare bare placed first in 14 and under! 

Good shredding lil grom! He'll be kicking all of our butts soon enough. 

Champions! 

Jesse Paul and Shane Ruprecht battled all day for that trophy. In the end, Jesse came out champ, but dang, shane killed it too! 

Same with the 14 and under kids; Garrett, Benny, and Eddie all throw down so hard.. I would have hated to be a judge. 

Pettit and the MN Crew! 

What a group of guys. I made them all get together for this shot, they grudgingly excepted. One day my friends, we'll all be stoked we have these shots. :) 

The set up was so sick this year! The favorite being a down bar with a tricky approach from the left side. There was an closeout elbow combination that kept everyone mixing up the bag of tricks. I think 120 kids signed up and rode, making for quite the turn out. 

Thanks to all involved! Especially Powder Ridge and the park crew for all their hard work. 

You guys kill it every year!

Here it is! S.B.N. Issue #4.
Pete Harvieux lands the cover this year. Poppin smooth Ollie's durring Viktor Simco's 'Ollie's for Alzheimer's'.

This took me a while to complete.. so it feels good finally putting last season all down in one spot for people to see. There were a lot of good times and neat places to show, it was hard to cram it all in one issue.

Thanks for reading! If you could please pass this on to every midwest snowboarder you know! Lets get a few photographers together again and re-start STUCK mag! Well, it's a thought anyways.

nathaniel.

few things.

A few days ago I had the privilege of chilling on this beautiful sailboat. Chris Wyman, the same guy that recently took me to Mexico, is the owner of this beauty. I look forward to setting sail on it in the near future.

I don't go to harbors very often.. It just causes me to lust after these boats! Sailing around the world would be the greatest experience ever I think! No roads, no limits, just freedom! Dock anywhere around the world and explore. I hope that someday I can work myself into a position of being able to travel in this manner.

Snow van filled with surf boards??? haha. Good style, it's about time.

On Sunday my good buddy Brandon Phillips came and picked up the Soul Surfing crew here in Laguna. We all loaded into Sol Tech's 32 van and booked it down to San Clemente to surf State Park. We found a very uncrowded line up and super fun peaky waves. After a few hours of sick lefts and rights along with many many mistakes that lead to shore poundings, we were all super stoked on a perfect day of surfing!

Last night some MN kids rolled into town. Sam Fenton, Cody Beiersdorf, Jonas Michilot, and Danimals all cruised over to watch a pretty epic sunset here in Laguna. After getting their feet wet the temptation of getting into the surf couldn't stop the lack of trucks and wet suits. We all stripped down to boxers and body surfed well past dark. I'm sure all the tourists at Surf and Sand were amped to look out there window and see a bunch of MN kids in their underwear!

This was Sam's first time getting into the Pacific Ocean, he had a smile larger than life! Cold water could not stop all of us from having an awesome body whomping time.

Cody^ Representing Gnarly Tree in its home town of Laguna Beach. Gnarly's MN team was sporting more goods than I've seen here from the locals, gotta give them props!

Sam's first West Coast sunset. I'm sure you'll see this on FB real soon!

Come back and surf with me Sam! You're more than welcome anytime.

We finished out the night with some Ping Pong games in the backyard. Danimals held down the table for a solid 2 hours. We all watched him and Sam play variations of the funniest ping pong games I've ever seen. At one point there were at least 7 balls in play, but for the most part it was 2 balls. Most mesmerizing thing ever.

I'm glad I was able to see you guys! They had a pretty rough trip getting here... So many crazy things happened. Car accidents, brake downs, Cody's broken rib.. I'm hoping that things turn around for them as they head up to Lake Tahoe today. Good luck guys and have a safe trip! Stoked you made it here, thanks for visiting and come back soon!

Fresh Snow To Play With.

We did get the snow storm that I've been hoping for. It dumped this last weekend! The fresh snow is keeping us going late in Feb.

I got to go shoot at Harding yesterday with an awesome crew of guys! Danimals, Krister, Gabby, Jonas, Jake, Cody, Riley, and Sam! We were rolling pretty deep. A lot of sick tricks went down... stoked.

Brandon Larson.

Cody, and Krister.

Gabby.

Jonas Michilot and Dan Liedahl.

After finishing up here it was time to shoot a Monday Minute...

Group photo was jakes idea, and it was a great idea!

This rail was so much fun. I built a little QP at the bottom, so proud of it! If your in the area you can check out my park building skills!

I didn't shoot to much here.. just strapped in. Sweet times riding with these guys! One of the best times I've had at a rail.

This is my 500th post on this blog.. Super happy to make it that far. I hope to build that number into the thousands. Just gotta keep shooting!

Thanks so much for checking in!
