CALI RUSH Movie is a celebration of California and some of its most adventurous and talented athletes, spectacular landscapes and diverse wildlife. The movie features athletes who are in search of the Ultimate rush as well as a more harmonious relationship with the Natural world through sports, lifestyle, recreation and environmental technology. Join this modern day tribe of adventurers as they explore some of California's most wild and beautiful places in search of epic conditions and the ultimate ride. CALI RUSH features all human-powered sports that work in harmony with the flows of nature, don't rely on gasoline and create the least amount of impact. This HD multi sports adventure movie follows the changing of the seasons through some of California's most wild and beautiful places and highlights some of the burliest action sports and progressive athletes our state has to offer.<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;">CALI RUSH is like a California Adventure Film Festival all rolled into one package. The Movie is broken up into 12 different chapters that represent the different months of the year. Each chapter features a different sport and location. I've been working on this movie project for over 3 years now from concept to execution. It's been a fun but huge and sometime overwhelming task to gather all this footage. I've filmed a good portion of the movie myself and the rest is footage I'm buying from other film makers who specialize in the different sports we're featuring.<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;"> We really appreciate the support from the fans of BURL Productions. Writing, Filming, Directing and Producing movies like SOULFISH and CALI RUSH is not easy. Luckily most of the hard work for CALI RUSH Movie is already done. We have all of our footage and are now in the post production phase. So far this project has been independently funded. I personally have hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars invested. I've had to keep working full time and fund the film through BURL Productions, which is one of the reasons it's taken so long to complete. Now we are at a stage where i need some help. Please take a minute to check out our kickstarter page. This is an independent funding platform for creative projects such as this collaborative movie. You can pre order a DVD or Download, poster, shirt or another of the great rewards from the site. It's going to be a great movie and i'm sure you won't regret owning a copy. You can also become an associate producer of this creative project or sign on as a sponsor and marketing partner. With your help we can Kickstart finish this one of a kind movie.<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;">The target dollar amount of our kickstarter goal is the minimum we need at this point to finish the film. The money is going to finishing the final edit, which is already over half way done. Then paying the rest of the additional footage and music licenses, graphic design for box, poster and shirts, motion graphics, color correction, final audio mix, master render and finally some DVD's, marketing and web updates. Additional funds raised will go to kicking off a tour for the movie. The more we get, the better the venues will be and the better the bands we can bring in. We plan on also having an art show accompany the movie at most venues and many of the shows will also feature live music or a DJ set. Our goal is to bring together the outdoor community for celebrations of California's art, music, sports and natural environment, which make it possible for us all to live the dream. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;">Please take a moment to check out our kickstarter and make a pledge if your situation allows.<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1391060526/cali-rush-movie?ref=live"><span style="font-family:Georgia;"><span style="color:#0000F6;">http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1391060526/cali-rush-movie?ref=live</span></span></a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1391060526/cali-rush-movie?ref=live"><span style="font-family:Georgia;"><span style="color:#0000F6;"><br /></span></span></a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;">Thanks for your support.

Once again the World Free Skiing Championship comes to Kirkwood for it's last stop of the year. This event in one of the things Kirkwood is most known for. It's the only time of the year when the legendary Kirkwood Cirque is open. Skiers and boarders wait all year and stare at this steep rocky bowl, dreaming of the lines they would ride. Kirkwood Local ski shred and California Green Rush athlete Josh Daiek is no stranger to this competition. He and local Legend Craig Garbiel have been on the circuit for years now, tearing it hard and representing Kirkwood style at every event. Once a year the tour comes to Kirkwood and boys get to throw it down in front of the home town crowd. The tour was set back one day due to a perfect winter storm that blessed our slopes with a few feet of fresh cold sierra goodness. Tour veteran Graig "Garbonz" Garbiel was already qualified for the finals from a previous event. Baby J had to ride the Lookout Vista to Qualify on Saturday. With a beautiful fresh coat of powder, Josh ripped top to bottom and sent a huge 3 over some rocks, taking the first place spot for the day and solidifying a spot in the finals. Day two they switched things up from the usual format and dropped all skiers from the lookers left drop in at Carnels Shoot on top of the Cirque. Named after long time local and one of Kirkwoods first ski patrols, John Carnel. Craig ripped a super solid top to bottom line. Coming off the ridge, airing over Meat Grinder, then sending a huge air off lower Franks, then blasting Kodak cliffs with one of the biggest airs possible. It was a super impressive line. But this year belonged to Josh. He ripped one of the most solid lines ever thrown down in this comp. Top to bottom power turns, a huge air off Franks alternate and another monster super stomper off Kodak. Josh clocked the highest score of the entire comp and kept himself in first place. He also scored a Sick Bird nomination. Sitting in first, Josh dropped last on day 3. With the pressure of the entire event laying on his shoulders, he held it together and ripped another solid top to bottom destroyer run from Hour Glass on down to the finnish line where he was met by all the Kirkwood local for a huge celebration.

Deeper was a two year snowboard video project Shot in California, France, Alaska and the Antarctic. It features some of the biggest names in freeriding taking it to the next level of mountaineering and riding. All the runs in the video were hiked. Some required huge assents or even camping in the snow for a month at a time. It's yet another epic in the saga of big mountain rider Jeremy Jones. Much of the footage featured in the film was shot by Green Rush friend Chris Edmonds. Keep an eye out for a showing near you. <a href="http://www.tetongravity.com/">tetongravity.com</a></div><div><br /></div><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Cu5jGnXOFgc?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Cu5jGnXOFgc?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>Green Rushhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06590064697250976727noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562974309983675022.post-16091726784109965732010-08-22T23:16:00.000-07:002010-08-22T23:33:16.934-07:00Mt.

It comes with all the hardware you need and instructions on how to cut the board and install the hardware. Keep an eye out for shots of Mikey riding his Banana Split board last winter in the movie.

For many rivers the damage has already been done. For other rivers there is still hope. The last free flowing rivers need to be protected. Small groups of people can make a difference. Here in California there has been many tragic stretches of river lost to the construction of Dams. All the rivers you see being kayaked in Green Rush end in dams. It's time to protect what we have left and preserve our last wild places. Right now a proposed Dam Expansion project threatens to destroy 4 miles of the Mokelumne River known as Middle Bar. Please help by joining the <a href="http://www.foothillconservancy.org/">Foothill Conservancy</a> in their fight to save this stretch with a national wild and scenic designation.</span></div></div><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4531603&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4531603&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/4531603">Mokelumne River - Wild and Scenic</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1291220">Mikey Wier</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p>Green Rushhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06590064697250976727noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562974309983675022.post-36761472145988784572010-04-06T14:26:00.000-07:002010-04-14T22:31:36.209-07:00Josh Daiek rips<object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2949214&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2949214&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/2949214">Josh Daiek Demo Reel</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/ianstout">Ian Stout</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p><p>Check out local sick bird, Josh Daiek(Baby J).

From the High Sierra to the Pacific Ocean, From the Redwoods to the Desert. For those with a taste for adventure California is one of the most diverse and enchanting playgrounds on Earth. California has long been looked upon as a landscape of opportunities. In the 1800's adventurous people and entrepreneurs flocked to California in search of gold. The ensuing California Gold Rush became one of the most environmentally destructive campaigns in the history of Mankind, both on the landscape and by setting a business standard of exploiting the environment for profit. Now more than 150 years later California's resources and population are reaching a tipping point. With the population still expanding and resources strained, California is on on the forefront of a Green Revolution. A necessity for change and a shift in consciousness has begun to create a more environmentally aware and informed society. Companies are working on developing clean technologies and products. Manufactures are working to create less waste. Commuters are working to lower emissions. Consumers are making more informed decisions. People are starting to seriously consider they're impact on this planet and implement solutions to the current environmental crisis. <div><br /></div><div>Green Rush is a celebration of some of California's most adventurous and talented athletes and innovative companies that are in search of a more harmonious relationship with nature through sports, life-style, recreation and environmental technology. Join a modern day tribe of adventures as they explore some of California's most wild and remote places in search of their own Green Rush. Come along on a multi sport adventure following the changing of the seasons through some of California's last wild places. Green Rush features all human-powered sports that work in harmony with the flows of nature, don't rely on gasoline, and create the least amount of impact. By making small lifestyle changes and implementing the cleanest technologies possible these athletes prove you don't have to thrash the environment to have a good time. Shred lightly. Recreate responsibly. Respect the landscape. Do the least harm. Leave the least trace. Find harmony with the wild creatures. Seek the cleanest path. Live the change you want to see.

This workshop was informative and really brought into perspective just what it takes to actually do a full conversion. I learned about the parts, the process, the cost, environment impact and economical benefits of driving EV's. Mike and Shari at Electo Automotive have been doing electric conversions on VW's and Porches for years. These days they mostly supply the parts needed to do conversions and sub out the actual hands on conversion process to local mechanics. The most specialized part of most conversions is the transmission adaptor plate. Mike has done hundreds and has one of the biggest libraries of specifications they can fabricate for different vehicles. </div><div><br /></div><div>For more on Electro Automotive check out:</div><div><a href="http://www.electroauto.com/">http://www.electroauto.com/</a></div><div><br /></div><div>To learn more about electric vehicles go to:</div><div><a href="http://eaaev.org/index.html">http://eaaev.org/index.htm</a>l</div><div style="text-align: center;

Is the first words out of most people's mouths when they first see snow skating. So what is snow skating? It's the fastest growing sport on the slopes. A combination of snowboarding and the freedom of skateboarding. Picture a skateboard deck with a mini snowboard attached to the bottom with metal "Rocker" trucks. For many of the old school skaters, turned snowboarders, it's a renewal for the stoke of skateboarding. It provides a whole new way of riding the mountain and changes the way you see terraine and features. For many who have been snowboarding for years at the same resorts it offers a fun and more challenging alternative for non pow days. For the young snowboarders it's also a cheap and low eco impact alternative to buying expensive lift tickets and season passes at resorts and or snowmobiles. You can hike and snowskate just about anywhere and anytime of day. Some of the best spots are parks and backyards. The most famous home park being the Bonser Pipeline at long time local shredder Pat Bonser's back yard. <div><br /></div><div>Gnu from Mervin Manufacturing first popularized this style bi deck. Now many companies have seen the light and began to follow suite. 4 years ago South Lake Tahoe vert skater, snowboarder and snow skater Danny Sheehan started Ralston Snow Skates. Ralson is the one of the first independent companies to bring a high performance snow skate to the Market. Ralson manufactures it's own boards locally. The ski is pressed at their own factory near Lake Tahoe using the latest most eco friendly materials and process. Utilizing renewable materials like Bamboo and Birtch wood for their ski cores.</div><div><br /></div><div>A few years ago there were only a few snowskaters trying to ride the resorts. Many Resorts wouldn't even allow it and some Resorts still don't. They treat it like they did snowboarding 15 years ago. Now there are too many to of us to deny. Last season Snowskatings premier film production company, Strapless Entertainment lead by Veteran snow skate ninja Sean Davis and backed by talented local filmers Kyle Schwartz and Jason Hogan toured the lake in search of the dopest lines, cleanest jumps, most tech rails, slick boxes and Good Times. With Ralson team member Seth "The Mouth" Hall at the rains, a group of the most progressive riders in the world toured all the resorts that allow snow skating and the back yard jib parks of the Lake Tahoe area. Check out Pat "Goblin"Quin, Sean Davis, Seth Hall, Danny Sheehan, Pat Bonser, Jomie Smith, Donny Green and the rest of the Group as they progress the sport of Snowskating.

The competition takes place at Sierra Ski resort every year and features Slalom, Slopestyle and sometimes a free for all down hill boarder cross Chinese downhill dash for cash race.

Thanks to our friend and fellow film maker Chris Edmonds who was generous enough to share with us some of his footage of Jeremy hiking and slashing lines in the Tahoe backcountry. Chris runs a production company called Leeward Cinema. Two years ago they produced a film called "My Own Two Feet". Chris and a group of dedicated back country snowbaorders spent an entire season filming completely under man power. They hiked, camped and shredded the back country of California. It was the first ever completely man powered snowboard video and set a president for eco awareness and back country appreciation.
