Here’s the low down from the man himself.

It was a rough year for snow in Utah.

Normally we spend a solid month or two filming around Salt Lake City and in the mountains.

This year, the only chance to film was to go somewhere on a trip.

Here is a front board on the stair set Cole Taylor shot with his iPhone.

I recently took a trip out to japan.

If you have never been out there, that place is amazing.

I was out there last year during the earthquake and this was my first trip back.

It was awesome to see how they were recovering from the disaster a year later.

The mountains in Japan are pretty crazy, as well.

It’s looks like you’re in Alaska or something.

Definitely somewhere worth checking out, if you ever get the chance.

It was an experience and also really easy.

Those bullet trains really go fast!

This is me and Ben [Bilodeau] after a long day of filming in Utah.

Last week I got to go check out the supercross in Salt Lake City thanks to Monster Energy.

It was an awesome time, those moto dudes are gnarly and put on quite a show.

It was a nice little break from filming.

I just got back from mammoth for the West Coast Invitational.

It was a good time shredding the park with the boys.

The best part of it all for me, was meeting up in Encinitas.

This allowed us a day at the beach before heading up north.

Here is me and Chris Grenier about to paddle out for that sunset surf sesh.

On the way too and from Mammoth we cruised on the monster tour bus.

It was pretty amazing.

Needless to say we had a great time on the way up there and back.

Here are Littlest, Chris and I enjoying the ride.
