Perspectives #9 highlights Dendrite Studios’ trip to the original cat skiing operation on the planet: Selkirk Wilderness Skiing. In one of the lowest snow years on record for the operation and no new snow in a few weeks we still found nothing but the absolute goods. We were fed like kings and were welcomed as part of the family. All ...read more

This is why I love youtube (and vimeo). In the last couple years it has become a place for top quality content, and big companies are spending legitimate dollars to put cool films on the web. Racing has been no exception. It started with Truth in 24 a couple years ago, which is a film Audi put together ...read more

Thought I would post up a quick little video from TDI Cup driver selection last month. This montage is from the autocross track, where we were each asked to pilot a 2010 Golf TDI, through a tight track made up of cones.

Well, after my brief trip to Vegas for TDI Cup Driver Selection, I am reminded that it is still the offseason, with the first race still over 2 months away.

Nic and I have been busy. Very busy. We have both said more than a few times how spent we are after a day of filming.
I think it was easy when I was concentrating on just being an athlete. Stepping out into this other role of film producer/director/cinematographer leaves me absolutely drained after the day even if I spend 90% ...read more

Well, here it is, the 2009 TDI Cup Documentary, Racing Under Green, as seen on the Discovery Channel.

Really excited about how this turned out, Thanks to Zach ...read more

Winter X Games 14 is happening this weekend in Aspen, CO, and although I’ve never been more than a casual observer, I’m pumped up this time around to see if Levi LaVallee can stomp his Snowmobile Double Backflip (check out the insane first attempt here). Levi was one of the TDI Cup guest drivers ...read more
