Minnesota

So we decided to head out to the midwest to enjoy the warming weather.  The week before we arrived it was something like -20...Fuck that.  Anyways, we had 2 crews, one consisting of Darrell, Bennee, Biittner, Andy, and Sean...The other consisting of Ben, Alex, Laurent, Jordan, Jonas, Joe, Jake, Oli, Jan, and myself.  We were there for about 9 days, had a great time, and got some good shit.  Here is about 50 photos from the trip to help you feel as if you were there. everyone Big party in Minnesota. Left to right: Ben, Justin's head, Andy, Aaron, Darrell, Jan, Oli, Sean, Larry. jonasrail First spot of the trip.  Minnesotans are down with snowboarding and were glad to let us hit this one.  Sure not like Salt Lake City.  Trying to hit a spot in Utah is similar to robbing a bank.  We made the best of our situation and got some moves.  A few hours later and we were off to celebrate. downtown Sunsets are always nice, especially on the way to a house party!! larrydrugstore Quick pitstop before the party at Jonas and Jordan's girlfriends' house. Thats right, both their girlfriends live in the same house. snarskyandhutch Jan Snarsky and Oli Gagnon getting shitty, they are also known as Snarsky and Hutch. benandhisfriend Ben found a friend at the party. jonathan Oli double fisting. tripperguy2 This kid apparently ate a bunch of acid.  Jonas contemplating wether he should turn on the shower. marben1 Zac Marben likes to party. thefuzz As with any good house party, there is plenty of dancing, lots of booze, a huge brawl, and then the cops. 3amigos Victory photo...Jordan, Larry, Zac. Jordan may look like he has makeup on, but those are just battle wounds from about 7 punches to the face.  The other guys got hit with bottles and were totally bleeding....We won. jandrunkpuke On the way back to the hotel Jan decided to return a bit of booze back to the gas station. janpuke He gave a little tip to the taxi driver as well. jandrunks The end of a day. Bruised, Boozed, and 100% Australian. snarski_joe Hangovers don't exist here at Videograss.  Bright and early the next morning! oli_treegypsy Oli is half monkey, half photographer. larryhammertime Some kids had set this kink up next to another rail. larryfbkink Larry decided to play around on it for a bit. benhandyigloo Meanwhile Ben warmed up with some handplants on this igloo. jandoublefisting Jan was trying to double up his pay on this one. benoit Jan is convinced that Ben is some sort of immortal vampire.  Seeing that he has a shadow I think Jan is wrong. larryshades Larry Penguin is also known as Laurent Nicolas Paquin, just don't call him LNP, he's not backing that shit. beersss Back to the hotel. hotelroom Alex got this sweet Ride board and we all took turns writing a story on it. beerssss Not sure what this photo is all about. I think it is just about drinking beer? bencomputer Ben is more of a rum and coke guy. The next few days were all similar to the previous...Wake up, hit some sort of rail, back to the hotel, celebrate life, mall of america, bars, all that, and start over..... jonasjordandog This is Jonas and Jordan's parent's house. Yes that is their pet wolf. jonasdolls Yes that is a copy of Stand and Deliver under their creepy dolls. joesexton We watched some local videos at the Michilot residence and found this gem of good ol' Joey Sexton. alexcarmatch Alex decided to match his kit to Oli's rental car a.k.a. The Golden Eagle. joeblow Joe and his new truck. bensuper8mm Ben gets artsy now and then. picnictables Sometimes it is more fun to make your own spots. moa Instead of celebrating the ol' fashioned way, this night we took on the MALL OF AMERICA. wheelchair Alex took one of the hardest slams I have seen so he got to enjoy the MALL OF AMERICA on a wheelchair. pooralex This mall has rollercoasters in it...poor Alex couldn't ride them.  Thats ok, because none of us did. Costs a lot of money to get on them things. macstore Mac Store theatre. janmallrat Jan coming out of his favorite store. minivanfun The funny thing is we rented a mini-van...They didn't have enough for all of us to get them or else we would have. alexshades Alex sampling some shades. jonassplitends Jonas getting down on some dinner table hair tricks and a 2 live crew shirt. larrytuffguy Larry Penguin rocking the new shirt he got at the mall. jaketongue A few days later we met up with Jake O.E.... he was deathly ill but still down to snowboard.  We hit this sketchy kink rail that was falling over on both sides, after that we scoped some spots and hit the bar. bar We held it down, seeing that we were the only ones there. bennative Ben makes friends everywhere he goes. larrynative Larry goes far beyond making friends everywhere he goes. Thats all from Minnesota. In the end the snow melted and we got out just in time. Until the next trip...
