Please enjoy the FREE bonus footage that is only available as a download by entering your name and email below or visiting the Louder Than 11 Store.
The download includes the full video plus the extras.
The EXTRAS include sending that didn’t make the final cut, projects that were not sent, and shenanigans that were just too ridiculous for the feature video. The real gems in the bonus footage is The Squeal Project (V10) that is one of the best the New River Gorge has to offer as well as the amazing projects we left behind. Definitely worth the free download. Key word here is FREE.
I love making videos. The more I learn and get into every aspect of it (save for the business/money side of things) the more I love it. I also love creative challenges–projects that push me to learn new skills and try new things and come out with something that expands the LT11 cannon. I often have delusions of grandeur during the initial planning stages of a project because I’ve found its better to go big and come away with something smaller in scope than to dive into a project with shallow depth. (I even have a scar to prove you shouldn’t be diving head first into shallow depths) This particular project was supposed to be something entirely different when we first came up with the idea. Its an idea that we still plan to produce but probably won’t see the light of release until the end of this year. I was very excited about producing the original idea this go round and it was very hard for me to let that go and concede to the fact that all kinds of unavoidable obstacles where in the way and there wasn’t really a way around them this time. All these projects are in part personal expressions of our creativity. We get really attached to the creative vision and its stressful–even emotionally painful–when your passion gets deferred. It all starts when you start re-writing ideas to appease sponsors. It snowballs when bad weather and record breaking snow storms make climbing/shooting video an impossibility. It peaks and ends when your contingency plan falls through because athlete schedules and sponsor budgets don’t line up for the correct dates. What you end up with is a lump sum of time, money and video footage invested in a project that never came to fruition. So now your presented with a new creative challenge: How do you pull a story out of this?

In addition to climbing I like to snowboard as well. I’ve never been very good at it. I was never very good at skating either. Even though they are not the same at all. Makes me think I wouldn’t be too great at surfing either but one of these days I’m going to learn. Got [...]
A few weeks back the legend Andrew Kornylak hit me up to help him out with an event put on by Rock/Creek: the Chattanooga Mountains Stage Race part of the Rock/Creek Trail Series. Lets see, the night before I left I drank too much and got about 4 hours of sleep. Woke up hung over. [...]
