Mon May 09, 11 3:03 pm Last minute video shoot at the event site & bridge |
|
|
Michael Peterson, a super talented local photographer/videographer has been contracted to shoot a video for the HR Chamber of Commerce highlighting the sports and and activities in the gorge. The lighting, clouds (lack thereof), and wind seem to be lining up pretty well today and he's going to head down for a video shoot that starts at the Event Site and then heads over to the White Salmon bridge. Anyone who would like to show off their kiting prowess to help promote Hood River is welcome to come down.
We'll be pumping up at the Event Site at 5PM and then heading over to the White Salmon Bridge shortly afterward. It should go until around 7PM or when the wind dies. If you show up late, he'll be sitting on the Eastern side of the White Salmon bridge. Try to line yourself up between him and Mt. Hood.
I'll be on a black 2011 Rebel. Sorry for the short notice.

I'm wondering if it is possible that you can be a bigger dick?
Any ways, Sweet picture dude and way to share the stoke! That picture makes me want to get out on the water ASAP and that is what this site is supposed to be all about.

I think the correct word you are looking for is Bad.
But why all the hating?
I think it cool that they are getting out there and giving kiteboarding some well needed attention. Plus i dont really see you out there charging early season.

True. Im a pussy. To cold for me. You can find me at T line until June. Props for getting out there and sessioning at least.
And monkey boy, you wont see me posting any pictures of myself on forums on the internet anytime soon. But I do have a skiing shot I took of a buddy that I think is pretty nice for you to check out. I know how much you love skiing

Kenja - sorry this thread has been turned into a junior high insult fest. NICE PIC, nice job getting the word out, and nice job getting in sessions for the last 8 weeks while everybody else is busy whining on their computers. I know you have more on your plate than most. Call me for the next shoot!

Thanks for the props, DMac. This site has more testosterone than a UFC locker room.
The video features a bunch of people enjoying the activities they love in the Hood River area. After the video is launched, there will be a chance for anyone who wants to participate and submit their own HR stoke vids. Break out the GoPros. Even the haters will have a chance to show us how much better they are than us common folk. If the water isn't still too cold for them by then. Fear of shrinkage? :-)

I like how when I call a persons photo out it all of a sudden becomes personal. Some of you get it obviously, some of you obviously not. I guess I'm a douche for wanting this sport to be cooler than rollerblading.

You are not a douche for wanting this sport to be cool, it is the way you decided to express it.

I would add.... looking like you are wearing your grandmothers night gown when you kite, to the douche category, but, to each his own. I wear board shorts over my wetsuit. Common now, but, it will probably look funny in 10 years like it would have 10 years ago. Our kids will laugh at all of us when they see pictures.
