PREVIEW OF COMING ATTRACTIONS
Notes on stories currently in production
We're excited about the formation of Team RadX - Ron "Carvefather" Maita, Mike Ford and Erik Tompkins. The three were on the mountain for the end of the season antics at Belleayre. You can see them riding the bumps in the current show and on this YouTube clip, right after the Pond Skimming shots.
Click on the Team RadX box on the left to get to our team page. The team will be in development summer, and we will be following these guys as they prepare for next season. The first full video chapter of our Team coverage will be in the edition of the TV show that comes out end of May. We'll have YouTube clips posted before then. This will be a fun adventure, follow it and interact.
NOW PLAYING ON RADXSPORTS
Notes on the show now airing and our new YouTube clips
We made our annual pilgrimage to Stratton for the US Open. It's more than a competition, it's a gathering of the tribe, a convocation with spiritual proportions. Most other contests of equal stature are so totally controlled by corporate interests and contrived for the convenience of the media that there is little room for spontaneity or improvisation. The Open has it's business side and there are legit gripes that can and are aired (I have aired more than my fair share) but it is such a refreshingly open event that it makes USSA , FIS, the World Cup and the even the Olympics look stale and old.
