Good things come to those who skate

P-swiss has a new ride! City long distance push / pump / carve up the streets on a rainy day setup!!! @raynelongboards Demonseed #deelite #@aeratrucks #k4 @orangatangwheels @harfangwheels #kegels @viciousgrip #viciousred @sickboards to find the goods (at Wipkingen)

Humble Beginnings // This is my 300 acre / 120 hectare backyard farm outside Hanover, Ontario, Canada. It is a quiet place where one can be proud to have grown up, having seemingly unlimited land to spread wings. This photo from 2010, being of my first long exposures was taken by duct taping a spork (which I still use today) to the shutter button. The place is my grandpa's house and shed. Nowadays, Buck's Crossing Golf Course owned by my father and his friends has taken place of cattle and green pastures. #buckscrossing #golfcourse #spork #longexposure #hanoverontario

Let there be light! // A love for photography has produced an overflow of photos from the past years. It's time the flow finds its way public for you to enjoy and for myself to savour yet again! In the photo hang three "Edison Bulbs" situated in thick brass fixtures, hung by three black fabric cables which have been tightly twisted together granting the fanned out placement and hung from the ceiling above the living-room table in our "R23 Zürich" apartment we call home. The home installation while carried out by a Canadian required surprisingly no duct tap and still hangs to this day. #homeimprovement #redgreen #ifitaintbrokeyournottrying

Proud to be standing next to, but one level down from the flying squirrel @tamaraprader on the podium. What a champ! #redbullsidewinders (at Mount Iwaki)

A great start to official racing in Japan! #redbullsidewinders was an intense endurance race presented professionally at a unique venue.

Happy sore leg day from the crew racing #redbullsidewinders in Japan! Arigatou gozaimasu!

Practice day at #redbullsidewinders on the now infamous #69hairpin volcano road in Japan! A warm thank you on a rainy day to @sickboardshop @aeratrucks and @raynelongboards for supporting me on the long exciting journey! #autumn #japan

Driving up the #69hairpin road for #redbullsidewinders. It's a rowdy one. Gnar pavement, loads of fake Ty's. It's an endurance course, like the Japanese marathon for dh skateboarding.

@_mitch_thompson_ and I area ready to tackle the #redbullsidewinders 69 hairpins today. #rayneteam #wemakeRAYNE #raynejapan

Udon/Soba breakfast! #followthelocals

Sushi dinn' with my sweet, @tamaraprader (at Nakameguro)

It's time for this piece of downhill skateboarding history to find a new owner. Five and a half years since @sk8greenerpastures #offshore and the memories are still vivid as yesterday. The helmet goes to the highest bidder. Graphics by @tamaraprader painted by @painthousecustoms on a S/M @triple8nyc #racer. Used once by myself, actually one run down one of the most iconic passes in Switzerland, where these photos were taken. It flies with me today to Japan for a bit extra offshore action. Maybe it finds a happy home far away soon. Serious buyers only, the highest will be contacted by insta message. Shipping cost will be added. The investment goes towards the creation of more media for us to enjoy.

What to do with a surplus of ginger? Boooooooooooch it, blend it, press it and add a healthy dose of honey. #kombucha #immunebooster #rawfromnature #itburnsbabyitburns #howdoyouCHA?!
