With a stacked snowpack and frequent storm refreshers, March 2019 for the Janky crew was killer. Filmed entirely in the backcountry around Truckee and the West Shore…
Got to ride Boreal's first PopUp Park of the season with Graham Gray, Cole Johnson, Ryan Martin and Braden Schroder and had a blast! Song: Kevin Morby - City…
July and August of 2017 I had the good fortune of tagging along with the SASS Global Travel crew in Argentina as their staff filmer. I am returning this summer and decided to put together all of my favorite shots from last season and couldn't be more hyped to get back down south!

March 2018 in Tahoe truly was a miracle - it came in like a lion, saving our lackluster season with big storms and massive snow totals. Filmed in one day, this film shows different groups of winter athletes accessing the same terrain without conflict. Featuring Jed Kravitz, Alex 'Shugz' Dorszynski, John Lauer and Chris Cloyd.

Nick Mota, local Tahoe City resident and renowned Meat Cannon/Luge Expert worked for 7 days straight tirelessly building gypsy features with a crew of dedicated friends on the secret slopes of Tahoe Donner. What resulted was truly a spectacle of berms, banks, hips, rhythm jumps and poppy booters with a fair share of scary must-make gaps that together created what we all know as the course for the Second Annual Nick Mota Invitational. With one drop-in, the course split into two separate tracks; the "Meat Luge," a winding and twisting trail of rhythm jumps, 90 degree berm turns and a hip, and the "Meat Cannon," a line that showcased a near-vertical aerials-style jump, a death-defying 35' gap, and a gelande style high-speed sender. With this monstrous snow creation the stage was set for Tahoe's best skiers and riders to risk it all. It's hard to describe it in words, perhaps a video would do the trick.
JANKYfilms, TahoeMASSIVE and Mad Trees converged upon Revelstoke, BC mid January to ski the legendary terrain of this Canadian outpost. With at least 4 sleds totaled, skis broken, personal injuries, and excessive poutine consumption, it's a wonder that we were even able to get any footage! Song: Borns "Electric Love" (Oliver Remix) This video wouldn't have been possible without the help of our friends who contributed footage: Connery Lundin, George Vandercook, and Jed Kravitz and Tim Kelliher for manning the cameras with me. Thanks to the Tahoe Massive crew, the Mad Trees crew, Granite Chief Ski & Mountain Shop, and Slant Skis.
Mid-winter in Tahoe was underwhelming indeed for the Janky crew - low snow totals and high pressure forced them to seek out spring-time activities, for example the Second Annual Nick Mota Invitational and the Castle Peak Jump Sessions. Just when they thought that winter had run its course, Mother Nature surprised them all with a cold system of storms that left over 6' of light powder over the Tahoe basin over a week. Everybody scrambled to ski as much powder as their legs and work schedules would allow, not wanting it to end. Enjoy as the crew seeks out new backcountry locations in South Lake Tahoe and pays homage to the freeskiing mecca that is Squaw Valley.
