I'm pretty sure this is that young knucklehead Shaun White. He's so cute...
The Red Bull Snowscrapers event on Thurs. was pretty crazy, though addmittedly it was so fucking cold that i spent half of my time there on a Booze Cruise party ship, so i missed some of the action. Though the boat provided warmth from the frigid outside, and innumerable open bars, so i'd say i was thouroughly entertained throughout, good looks REDBULL, and the city of New York (i guess?). I did take a couple flicks of contestants (if i was getting paid i would probably list each of the riders, and talk about what sort of jumps they did of this massive kicker-hip on the East River Park) going "big".
Shaun White placed 6th, though still goes home to one of his appointed manses, and probably some snowbunny (or a redbull girl?). A dark-horse contestant from New Jersey Shayne Pospisil (im sure his name has been misspelled a lot in the past few days) and took home 50 K! I'm not mad at the kid, that money will go a long way in this economy, maybe he can get himself a proper website (what a stoner).
Here's a small selection of Photos from Snowscrapers
I was pretty cold (somewhat frostbitten) and bit "out of sorts" when i shot all this stuff, so im not sure who this is, but he's got some serious air off that jump.
Kudos to the unknown soldier...
- "I'm on a Boat..." mothafucka (it was SOO cold out), so's this dood i guess...
You kinda have to love Red Bull for having the resources (and balls) to do these ridiculous (and awesome) events around the world. I wanna see them do that Flugtag shit through the streets of Harlem next...?
