Good good skier. Well, there we go the round of 16 you can see it done and dusted We're in now to the round of eights quarter final time T-Bolt Magnin up against Andrei Rogetli Ryan Stevenson against Kim Goobs up on the other side Gibi's Chris McCormick What a stellar run he did. He's got such a tech rail section We'll get on to them a little bit later on first. We've got This little match up I say a little match up because T-Bolt Magnin has looked really good on this course. Yeah He is a creative skier. Yes big tricks and Andrei's yeah, he's a good bet.  Well, I was just busy chatting away because I just did not expect that from him Yeah, well like you say he knew he had to do it. Yeah, you had to step it up Oh broke his pole there as well Now One thing he can't do here. He's got to concentrate He's got to keep going because we've seen mistakes from the other riders in the second runs, haven't we? Yep Definitely if Andre will crash in the quarter pipe. Yeah So he's gonna try and Dig deep here rectify it put a run down here on this lower section into the trampoline On he would have to trick you with the flip out We know just how strong on the rails Andre we get these T-Bot here finishing up on the down flat down Nice and easy for him. I think he knows He's a wily competitor Bummer for him. Yeah, that is a shame broken pole Only 22 years of age I was in the middle of saying real innovative skiers got some big spins He goes for the double cork double And then he just shows up too early Big hit It took a good digger there Racing drone fly through the picture. He's all smiles And I know we've mentioned that a lot actually, but it's nice to see him scheme everybody's been skiing with a smile Yeah, definitely it is a chorus and a comp they love to go and It's also good and important for our sport that we not only have World Cups that we also have these kind of events Absolutely, he's chatting with Niko Zakek down at the bottom as we see live drone shots of this brand new running It's a winch pulling And Andre we get Lee now pressures on him to put a clean one down But what this man hasn't done well Will champion in slope style three times ex-games medallist For crystal globes. He knows what he's doing when it comes to competing Coming in with that switch 720 the quarter pipe Left at 10 20 does the safe trick now for sure. Yeah into the player into the wall right 180 on the step down into the vocal hip Let's bit And the trampoline nearly got them done in this in the quarters. Let's see if he can then make it Yeah, he's still got it Switch up to 70 out switch on 450 Bag at all look at this camera shot as well might I add big for before Oh Yeah, it's a double cork. Wow. Yeah, if you add the double cork to that run exactly two times a silver medallist at this event Can he be going home with the gold? He wants the gold here doesn't he wants the win at Red Bull Play Street? He wants his name on that wall Really nice on the quarter pipe and actually that shot there does it a little bit of a disservice Nice seven. Yeah, the cork seven. It's the most high of the landing. It's all the speedy again You can see me in skiers left side jumping in nice and high on the quarter pipe And I don't think that they have a safe trick for this. I mean, no yes He has to do his full-on run and then the fourth 50 Locking it down. Yeah, locking it in So good run. I think definitely gonna be A good night for T-Bot Magnet it is but how high 273 huge run Highest score today so far we've seen and like you said Elias We haven't even seen you put the double cork in there Yeah, he stepped it up at the bottom with the four fifteen So Ryan Stevenson against Kim good sir of Switzerland This is a nice little match of actually two little pockets of power right here Two young guns if you take a look at their player cards, they're pretty even Ryan Stevenson actually Wild card entry one Snowfest down in Innsbruck winning his place here Double cork 720 and That's the sushi roll again here This is a tough one keeping the flow going through this course So the New Jersey man lives his lives his days out there in Summit County, Colorado Or 50 and switch into the trampoline switch is 60 odd That's all right Switch up Landing is narrow and tight as well That's where he had trouble Yeah qualification he caught his tips on the lip slide Lip slide when you've got to throw those tips over the rail before you can connect and he gets it so clean And the 22 year old Who's actually Be doing a little bit of a of a tour going around and enjoying himself doing demos on with the Light show around the US Like I said wild card entry. He's absolutely loving this and rightly so cork 720 safety grab Little bit flat compared to how he probably used to do it on the jumps.  I was gonna say in the 250s. I was gonna say that So Ryan Stevenson 254 with Kim good sir next to drop Now Kim's already taken out Nick Webber there you can see on the right side of your picture With the speedy and what can you do here? This guy goes big. Yeah always he likes to go big loves his jumps goes absolutely massive normally What can you do? Oh big flair. Yeah super playful course here 180 in Switch 900 tail grab All the way up nice Right to the top of the Oakley wall ride so into this middle section a little bit rest by here Through the rabbit Warren dropping down now into the vocal hip. Oh That was nice flair Wonder if he tries to flip out of the trampoline.  Oh, this is a hard one Almost 270 in 270 oh, wow. I think he's done it. Yeah, I think that's done it You had to switch nine potentially, I mean, I'm just trying to pick it up potentially coming up a little bit short maybe but We talk about that being a smaller jump up there I mean, let's get let's get it right this first jump It's still 15 meters but compared to what perhaps you normally used to see it It doesn't give the license for guys to knock out the 1080 So switch nine hundreds a big trick to be putting down Remember the judges have to judge what the guys are doing They're not judging on what they can do in any of the parks or setups and this is beautiful the flip out And to switch up to 70 out Bottom section very similar with the 450 Yeah, Ryan trampoline definitely makes a different And channeling these inner cyclops from X-men. I think it goes to Kim just Yes, it does more than just a 264 for Kim Goobser and he will advance to the semi-finals I got it. You can't believe it Definitely score it high in that double seven. Yeah, but They do a lot of scoring on the overall impression and that's top to bottom Well, we've got GB's Chris McCormick up against Matty Svantsa local hero lives just down the road Chris has actually been you see him there with Paddy Graham and his brother Matty McCormick with a camera got a lot of support well liked A little bit of a wild card entry to this event Stoke to get the call up and here he is and he's actually got a really nice and a dare I say it's simple wrong. Yeah, the air to fake it to fake your double nose grab switch seven 20 Japan grab Cool combo. Oh Their pressure surprise them in their training My goodness You're about to turn these legs on for that but all good Down into this second section Through into the trampoline. This has been the heart. This has been the Achilles. Ah Definitely been the Achilles healer's run, but this is where he excels his rail tricks are as good as it's not better than everybody else's Switch on planted to 70 out Look how fast they go through this. They're a little then 450 into switch.  So but he's gonna be so he's made the top eight here at rebel place And it is a top-to-bottom clean run. I mean no crash for sure on the trampoline. He will lose some points But I mean put some pressure on the Maté that he needs to land a little bit backseat out of that. These are super nice learn his trade up at Bears Den Just outside of Glasgow and Lovely 450 landing backwards Nice run for Chris. He's got a very symmetrical face two three six. I'll tell you what I think that's the highest score he's had Okay, let's hear from our next rider Maté Svantsa So super special for me is that I got all my homies around here for example Seymour and Yeah, that's basically it the atmosphere is super nice Super stuff So local hero is quite literally from down the road He spent his time in the crowds earlier Red Bull play streets cheering on his heroes and now he finds himself in the stock He's had a meteoric rise Had some huge jump tricks big-air specialist is such a good skier And he's such a playful skier. So this course just plays into his hands, doesn't it? Yeah, definitely perfect almost built for him Man with this player landing a little low training coming in switch 720 He has some pressure in his hometown And he can feel that he can feel the pressure and he boots on again Needs new clips. I Would say they're even up at the moment. Oh no spotter here So I'm just cranking in those but and he's got the measure of this trampoline though.  He's ahead. He needs to turn on the rail tricks there I mean he's he's answering Chris right back here 270 270 on the bottom rails clean run as we are we have seen it from him and qualification, but The more technical tricks there for sure. Yeah, well, he's gonna be ahead on the quarter pipe. He's Probably just well, yeah, we had on the just on the jump, maybe Yeah, just a little bit Six switch 720 and then he had this bubble here at the wall right. Yeah, but Chris had his little bubble on the wall right as well. Yeah But I think he's it's gonna be the trampoline Yeah, I mean the trampoline that it makes a big difference. I mean he does a proper like switch 180 Yeah, plus he's got the nose putter on the hip. Yeah, he's taking this one, but it will be close 450 on the bottom rail look at that wicked No idea what that is That's like a kind of like a misty Yeah Mad Big run and it's closer you get to the final as more pressure Especially for a local out of gone absolutely wild here for that So Max fancer advances through to the semi-finals So rebel play streets 2023 not disappointing as we move in to the final heat heat number four in the round of eight Max Moffitt up against. Yes, but Shader and Max Look at the look at the player card there trying to show if it's jibs rail He's up there Everybody knows just how good this kid is but you would you'd say he's struggled a little bit to get here, hasn't he? It's not been on top form. He's not made it easy for himself. Definitely not. It is a very hard course to ski Definitely not easy for him as well. Oh Cork that native tail breath That's right across to that right so left side Really nice good start Milk in this course for as much speed Sick last bit six thirty odd. Oh Nice Time stood still when he did that lines at switch up. Oh, no Would choose a different trick. Yeah, definitely looking to spin out of that. Oh No Max Moffitt falls on the last chance soon the last dance rail will be is undoing Anida Caledon, Ontario He's gone about it the hard way and especially when you're up against someone like yes, but Shader You don't want to make any mistakes 180 the first one we've seen I think Misses to grab a little bit 630 to the wall. Yeah overall would have been a cool run Bottom two rails Switch up and then here just came off a little. Oh, yeah short of this Flat rail cannot spin off and then with the fun in it. It's in his head from that point. Yeah Oh Stakes can happen on the top of this course Yeah, definitely. I mean you have a crescent the first water pipe the quarter pipe. Yeah, but he's up against essentially the AI robot of freestyle skiing that is yes, but Switch into the quarter pipe the backflip 720 Chucking that way forward Just pull it around So the man that owns a gold medal from the knuckle-hook contest the chipotle knuckle-hook contest in X games just a couple of weeks ago Can he add to that medal hole here? Throwing that flip round to fakie coming backwards now into the trampoline Honest bet like a computer game. Yeah for a 50 It's almost opposite way for 50 out and then bottom rail to pay grab disaster. Yeah, he wasn't taking chances Now on was he knew what he had to do? well, he Didn't have to take any risk All he needed it was a top-to-bottom run So if you've been across social media, you will have seen his ridiculous Wallride trick that he did in the best trick contest yesterday where he backflip clean off the top if you haven't seen it then do go check out The Red Bull snow Instagram account Absolutely fires physics and logic That was the best trick contest and it's now all about lacing a run top-to-bottom across these eight features And he asked for shader Well, he's there. I think he's done enough to make it through to the semi-finals here See what the judges make of it. Yeah, look at that. That's nice to see Yeah, of course, you don't see that in any almost and I almost know any other sport 241 points they are all friends skiing together and these kind of events Like you said these kind of events really pushes it really elevates the sport and it's what the sport needs So quarter-finals doesn't dusted and here are your highlights Andre we get they look in very measured Yeah, and it like he always Darsen the World Cup see Lance's run. Yeah That's sure as the tide coming in and out Andre we get they will land his runs Kim Goop Sir Arguably the pick of the tricks at the trampoline as well stepped it up for vocation needed Home crowd advantage, isn't it? Yes Struggled a little bit. Oh, no Why do you escape the glove? Those mistakes out the way getting that way early and we've just seen him there get through with the last run Much fun as that look I would literally pop my spine if I tried that Yeah, and actually those follow caps Really give you such a good view of the so little room for it. Yeah, yeah spinning off those rails We've seen a saw a some riders in qualification for going in switch, but it is super difficult there. It's not so so So we follow one Kim good sir Andre we get leads and all Switzerland Over on that side. She's better. She's battling. Yes, Pichada with the lowest score From the round of eights will take on Matty's fan, sir that is channeling the power of 13,000 Screaming bad Kastein fans here semi-finals just around the corner And we've got Max Moffat at the bottom with Anna It's not an easy task to go up against yes, but cheddar. We're maybe the nerves getting a little to you well Yeah, man, obviously yes, there's the this is pretty much his event like he owns this and he's done so well in the past But it's just been super fun to be a part of and be here It's my first time and it like well past my expectations. This is insane It definitely looked like you were enjoying yourself. Just how amazing is this crowd here in the atmosphere? Yeah, this crowd I haven't ever been a part of a free ski event with a crowd like this This is the craziest energy. I've ever felt while skiing. So it's been pretty special Bombed I can't ski anymore, but it was really fun and this course is so unique How hard is it to master those short transitions between the features? Yeah, it's really tight between features and that's kind of the way they designed it You just got to be comfy on your skis have good edge control and Yeah, the best skiers are the ones that do the best here like not just tricks But actually skiing wow and one final question. Who is your money on 49s? Oh tough Yes, sir, I think we'll probably take it Andry is gonna be in the mix for sure and I can't leave out Matei He's gonna do some crazy stuff. So it's gonna be a good show I love that he said everybody who do you think it's gonna win? I think everyone's gonna win They're all friends, of course Well, it's really interesting to hear him talk about being a good skier. Yes, it's absolutely right Unless you've spoken about it as well It's all about being a good skier, but the one thing they've got to get right They've got to get those rails right. Let's take a little closer look at them right now So this is a typical down rail as you find it in every slope-slope course Most important is that you slide the whole rail you aim it and jump right on top of the rail To send in to send out is like a basic trick a normal trick for a free skier You turn to seven degrees in slide the whole rail to seven degrees out and then land switch Especially when you land the next rail is coming up to you so fast and it's icy and bumpy You need to be a good skier. Also Until you walk the course you don't really get a good sense of how high they are. They're all waist-high and above aren't they? Yep, they are very high and they're steep there as well with the down rail and Yeah, difficult Well, they're getting a Getting a good little view of this course and we've got another little chat down at the bottom with none of that Then ultimate run maestro that is mr. Marcus Eda and Anna is within that Marcus you're used to normally competing in this event you compete it here two times But today you're watching from the sideline. What is your first impression of today's event? It is just so amazing to witness the progression from the guys when they when the training started You know the struggle. It's a very difficult difficult course with the speed You know you got to have every turn dialed and it's just crazy to see right now like day by day Run by run these guys are stepping up the game and yeah, just super impressive What have your favorite moments of this competition been so far? so there is There is so many moments that stood out to me like Jesper going switch on the trampoline with the 450 out He's the only one going switch and it on the oh, he's not the only one going switch on the trampoline, but he's doing a flip 450 out which is Crazy, it's really hard to get the speed to get the right speed for that especially switch and I think my highlight was Ryan Stevens and versus Kim Gupta like those guys completely pushed the level Yeah, it pushed it to the next level Thanks for talking to us Marcus.  They've got a very good chance. They'll definitely have One of their one of their crew in the final so if I'm on level two Matty's fun Sir, yes, but Shader. That's a that's a small powerhouse ball as well super gave over on that Both of them could be the final already. Yeah. Yeah. Well Kim Gupta will go first and Raise a little powerhouse, isn't he? Thoroughly enjoying himself Come down to Davos third-world champs in the big air like I said big air specialist Huge on their quarter pipe of flair Switch Switch 900 tail grab to the top Hand plan Best we've seen I think from him on that top section super clean as well really clean And he did step up his run at the bottom with his trampoline trick Backflip on the vocal hip in to the trampoline Bouncing really hard with the flip on switch up to 70 odd Coming in 450 Down there he needs to hold this down. Did a last one? Yeah, you 70 in Yes, what a run a Little sketch at the bottom rail feature, but that was probably best run we've seen of him all day Switch 900 tail grab reaching for that grab. It is important that they have a grab Otherwise, they lose some points and how he pops off Taking a lot of style there You start to fizz don't you when you skin of being a free sport It's all about feeling good and you start landing your tricks. You start feeling good You start fizzing and frothing on it He gets down to the bottom here.  Yeah, the judges must have really liked that top section being as clean as it was Yep, probably his best top section and to step up with the trampoline One of the hardest trick. Yeah on the trampoline so far sure Oh All the pressures on now. He cannot hold back. He's got to go all in It's his teammate. Yeah. Well, this guy sprinkles pressure on his breakfast cereal So he's gonna be all in switch now into the quarter pipe Really good 720 then double cork. Yes, there it is double cork 1080. How does he do that? Such a small jump for air into the wall 180 into the rabbit run Down the step down a little switch 180 set up trick into the vocal here Let's been Kim Goobs up is watching his Final place slip away here. Yes at the moment. This is flawless from Andre regali Switch up to 70 out coming in switch pops out switch for 50 out and then bottom for 15 lock this in The man how many times has he landed this run already, but they sit and Doing it under the pressure like that He knew he had to do his best run and he's only gone and done it the math flims Down there in 720 south Switzerland. Oh my goodness then the double cork How does he safety grab? It is a small jump. Yeah, I know what I'm talking about. Yeah It is a small for jump for a double cork 1080 It player into the wall right He would just pop in a little 180 there just flow really enjoying this course Jumping on his back 450 out yeah switch up to 70 upgrades on to 70 out Yeah, changing direction and then you switch back to the 270 compared to the 450. Yes We have seen So he even can step up a little bit more What should be enough for sure? Well I'd argue Kim was 267 was high But that was close and the judges though I had to kind of dig themselves out a little bit there and 268 Andre McGatley will be going through to another Red ball play streets final will he be going home with silver or a gold only one of these two men will be able to answer that Question semi-final heat number two Matty's fan sir and yes, but Jada will do battle on the streets here in bad Gastein right now Local needs to go first. We helped he helped build this course I'll design it at least I doubt he was out there with a shovel and a power drill Nice fan so then listen to the crowd when he comes in here Little flair definitely going lower than a lot of water kids. We've seen That's the break back. Yeah stops that Define the laws of stop it away Come on Matty's fan, sir second off this quarter. Yeah, there's the nose button now going and switch to the trampoline Switch Well, he's 450 huge as well catching the last foot back down bar down rail and the flat rail Well, I mean yes, we're needs to lend the run. He didn't crash. He will He's definitely lose some points on sketch down on a few on a few hits. Let's pick it apart Let's do what the judges have to do bring back bring back. Oh my goodness. Give in difficult giving you to the headaches Oh, then the back of their nose butter You would argue as well. He lacks a little bit of pop doesn't he a little bit of amplitude But this my goodness. He tried. I look you there With the 50 50 like the one foot and then pretzel 180 out again, but it's just slipped away 240 okay 244 This is going to be interesting before he drops in I think we can hear a little quote from yes, but Jada My voice from yesterday, but I hope I haven't lost my skills About to do my run. Hopefully I land it the riders tent at the top there Across this Yes, but Jada who has been going the highest either has a no Well, he's going in switch into this quarter pipe Makes it more difficult to actually go as high as the other guys going forward which backflip What does he got? 720 Lady mute into the flare 180 out. That's as good as he's done it. Yeah saving the best till last So nice little top section. He gets a little breather now to the step down the man from Ostersund in in Sweden was almost a little bring back there. Yeah brings it back to switch He's a big nice trick now nice finish 70 in line set to 70 out Definitely place the safe card a little bit here for a 50 My goodness locks in the 450 To fake it. What's up? This is gonna be tight. This is gonna be really tight Well, I think It will be enough because this was clean run super clean no no crashes or like not even closer crash Yeah And Maté had the trouble on the downrail. Yeah, you're absolutely right. That's why you're the expert Nice run though, but as I said this could almost been the final. Yeah It's always a shame to knock out rounds You get a little bit of a problem or an issue in the qualifying or the early stages few mistakes get made and then actually what you What on paper you think perhaps should be the final you end up getting in the quarters or the semis But such is the list of heavy hitters in this event.  It's so perfectly under the arches of his feet right judges Who will face reggett league in the final?  Yes, Paché to go get on the quad get back to the top You have a date in the final here at Red Bull Clay Streets 2023 Matty's fan, so we'll go in to the small final. So here are the highlights moment you've got to say It's the cleanliness of yes, Paché to everything done to perfection Versus the what's the power and the height? Yeah, we're getting out forget that makes a little different at the top section We have his double cork. Yeah, and also with with the flare in the quarter pipe Into the wall right, but then the bottom section I would almost say this Jesper a little bit ahead All right wise words from Elias Ambul former winner here at Red Bull Play Streets back in 2011 So there's your semi there's your semi-final results final will be as Paché to Andre reggett league Kim Gupta and Matty's fans So down there in the small final and we've got a special guest for you Austrian royalty in the form of snowboarding legend that is Anna Gasser and Anna Our Anna is with her now At this event usually it's you dropping in in front of such a huge crowd How much do you enjoy it to just lean back today and watch this event? It's so cool. It's my first time here in Bad Gassain and yeah, the atmosphere is so special They went is so unique and it's so sick to watch the whole thing Yeah, is there any skier you're rooting for in particular? I am our sickest this crowd, please like look around the sports in general. Yes, when it's back here We know you're rooting for Matty, but who do you think will claim the top spot today? I think Jesper is looking very confident like It doesn't look like he ever bailed. So I think Jesper is gonna be hard to beat He is thanks Anna Snowboard royalty Anna Gasser down at the bottom keeping her on proceedings probably wishing she had a snowboard with her well, I Think the part of this course that definitely could be the separator is gonna be that trampoline section It's been such a thorn in a lot of the skier side and we sent Marcus Eder down there to find out what it's all about This year the course is stacked with special features one of them is this trampoline right here I've just tried it myself and it's definitely not super easy to get used to it with the speed But as soon as you got it figured out, it's actually pretty fun to ride and it's a mandatory feature for everyone So yeah, I think it's this is a decisive moment in everyone's run Trampoline and as good a skier as Marcus Eder is let me tell you something It is difficult and especially to judge speed how fast you need to jump onto this trampoline and then it is It is a hard obstacle to having a slow stuff also as you know trampolines are slippy when they're wet when there's snow on them They are slippy Yeah, they are and then you have to imagine you have a little forward speed and then on some certain it stops And then you need to flip out or spin out it. That's such a weird feeling Well, we've also got Marcus locked and loaded and ready to give us a little overview and let us know What he thinks of the event so far and who he thinks gonna win? Yeah, hello Okay Okay, I'm here with Andrea Getley just made it to the finals with an incredible run He put the top ten down perfectly is the same with the with the rest of your run Super impressive to see all that. So are you still able to step it up after such a run? Yes, there is something I can still step it up step up a bit But yeah, we'll see the top ten was really close It's it's a little bit slow with the speed But I'm happy to put my run down and be in the final now Awesome, that's awesome. I can't wait to see the finals and the small finals and Yeah Back to you guys Thank You Marcus Marcus is loving this isn't he's really really I said it earlier. He's been getting his phone out He's filming all the tricks. He's you know, you think how good mother ski marks either is it's just like you said earlier This is this the sport needs this competition so many so many guys are he back here who ski Ripple placement and just all good memories when you come back here and see the crowd He wants to put my skis on Just go back skiing but yes, I'm reset. It's he can step it up a little bit Maybe for this last run, but it is difficult to ski it. Everybody has been skiing so well as It is a tough course and a tough event. Well looking down at that it 279 was the score was there Excuse me the semi-final score was 279 points That was yes, but shade has run if he can up his run as well He's gonna put that into the you know the high 80s potentially to 90s. Well, that's a big leap isn't it for forget Lee He's got to pull something pretty special out the back Yeah, especially for yes for he did not show everything he can do on these rails down there And he managed to somehow make to 279 points. So There is room to to to the mall to go. Yeah, exactly and Yeah, we see well, that's for silver and gold. This will be for Brahms Will it be going to Kim Goopsa or Matty's fun? So look how big Kim Goopsa goes on that quarter-pile air Coming in switch 900 Telegraph ah Going all the way up Quarter pipe so nice little top section from Kim into the vocal hip Shocking those most McTwisty kind of Dots does he get that flip out again? Oh I'll must slip away We just said how sleepy that is Outside switch up to 70 odd for 50 off Just holding on to a little bit wild a little bit ragged now needs to hold this to 70 We're holding our breath in the commentary booth here me and Alice. Oh my goodness Absolutely loving it buzz it and the noise that they can hear down Through this course from the crowd cheering the skiers off 900 Telegraph Also a little high up in the landing. Yeah, ha ha then head plan All the way at the top Really? Yeah, didn't have to be low. I'll know you wasn't that really after this. Yeah himself forward for it 270 came off a little bit early Holding on to well perfection is what's gonna win your medals here. He's gonna be going up against Going up against Mattie's fun sir, so he needs something higher 261 his Keep keep scoring around there 260. Yeah, yeah 264 to me in the quarterfinals so He's got a smile that could bring about world peace He's really enjoyed himself Rocking a 10 out of 10 in the jumps It goes here we go for the bronze medal the third place here at Red Bull Play Streets Switch milk in this course for speed Bring back lands very high up. I'm sure it. Oh Let's see No way to the crowds comes into this lower section It's his first appearance here at Red Bull Play Streets. Definitely won't be his last 18 So nice that switch up. There we go He swore 50 Does he get the 450? Oh almost misses the rail as well Don't know if this is enough with the bubble at the wall right in the 450 in at the bottom down for the downrail For sure a tech run On the job and on the trampoline. Yeah Take a look at this. Let's pick it apart Pumping hard in the bottom of that transition Speed not a premium here And the bring back there kind of melts mines a little bit device physics High of the Oakley wall ride Inside edge This one was perfect switch on 80 in That kind of corks exterior difficult decision the bottom rail here Yeah, just doesn't get it. Does it I think you're right Liars I'm with you. I don't think that's gonna be enough, but it definitely won't be his last time here But we're not judges He's got he's got to be a 261 So King of some will take The bronze medal home back to Davos in Switzerland 22 year old makes the podium here with third place After a four-year hiatus of Red Bull Play Streets Switzerland will take a bronze medal Question begs will they be taking a silver or a gold? How high did he go that quarter by switching on it? Think the wall right made the difference it was a little bit cleaner because Kim had trouble at that bottom down flat down rail as well. Yeah, so But it's a it's okay with like it's good judging Not easy especially when they make mistakes. It's always like Comparing which mistake was the stakes the worst. Yeah, exactly For a 50 same triggers but a little bit loose through there and then the 270 Just holding it the landing Henderson loved his time here on the course No love lost between them between any of these guys But as we were saying Will it be a gold or a silver first or second for Andre? We get late remember? Two times a silver medallist Twice the best man, but will he be the groom here today? Yes, Pacheta stands in his way and interestingly. Yes, Pacheta will be dropping first Yep, that is interesting. I thought the higher score can The higher score can go second well Yes, Pacheta here has made his way into the finals Seeing off a lot stiff competition along the way You could also argue he's he's got better, hasn't he has he's gone? Yeah, definitely You've got that lead used to the course whereas Boris is ski the course it's easier to get to this for 15 at the bottom this This is what Makes a different you know Reggetley didn't see the 720 there, but he's had the double cork, hasn't he?  He's gonna be relying on that sure, but he needs the speed for it, doesn't he? Similar trick to Jesper it coming in more though and a little backdrop It does to 270 and at the bottom definitely a rail where he can't stand up step up. It needs to step up as well Right Well, here we go then We are two runs away from crowning the champion here at Red Bull Play Streets 23 Yes, Pachada Well, what can he do one last run? Switch back flip 720 Lee Mewd to 180 out Also had a little grab in there Yes, bro actually took the win here back in 2017 in 2015 he got third and He was beaten in the final in 2019 four years ago by Nick Wepper So he's already got a first second and third But will he be adding a first or a second to it into the trampoline? switch on Got it one more time to 70 in he looked like a cat that had been dropped out of a window there Didn't they for 50 out stepped it up and then does he showed up for 15 again? Yes, he does So the bottom section is definitely head of the game But the jump I mean to set the 720 to rotation. Yeah, but Lee Mewd compared to Andrews double corg If he does it if he can do it It's interesting the pressure now on Andre He's uh, he's laced this run hasn't he pretty much. Yep. Oh that go high up your lens Like this so you can gain as much speed into this jump left side 720 Lee Mewd really nice style on that Proper grab on it tweaking the ACLs and then Yeah, put this grab in there. Yeah for the grabers time Yeah with the Bringing out to fakey as well It's just a smooth run isn't it? It's just it looks like water going. This is like a cat We've chucked off somebody's bed And then this on the 450 just Laces it. Yeah, that's a sick run. I've got a lot of time for that How high the judges will go on it though is remains to be seen 279 he got in the semi highest score of today 285 goodness me so Reggently then pressure is on the well and truly on he's got to absolutely deliver now otherwise He will be going home with eight at second place from the streets of bad castide in Austria so the man the product of The lax fun park up there What can he get done here he needs the run of his life coming in switch Going up high as well with that switch 720 takes much speed double corg Time to spare on it as well Flare in really good so far clean top section Does he has trampoline unlocked again on his back and oh Let's switch up to 70 out switch on front for 50 out Does he do the fourth 15? He has to as possible. Oh, that is if you ask chat GPT to write a ski run That's what it would do Pressure has delivered. It's out of his hands now He's dead the judges to give him another second place. They can't can they and I feel like this was the best run Yeah, top to bottom. He seems to have a very high in the car behind the court bike Just has all the speed double car the double cork. He just seems to have a safe spare That's very high up and then into the player. Yeah, big here. Yes, but definitely scored some higher points with the 180 out Which he added you get this live-action drone shot shots of drone pilots This is a good run the bottom section. I mean Difficult to say you know, let's take a look at it Similar trick just you similar trick, but he did look a bit more in control. Let's wait shop to 70 out Then this for 15 just like yesterday holding it to forward holding it forward locking it in. Yeah Okay judges What are we saying? Niko gives them both the hug down there at the bottom it smiles all round Yes, but with the 285 has already won this event back in 2017 But Andre we get Lee that already Has a plethora of second places from Red Bull Play Streets. Will he finally be going back to flims in Switzerland the championship here the judges are Tickly pulling their nerves pulling their hair out in the in the booth Score any second the crowd waiting here. It's going to be close. Isn't it that scoreboard? Your winner here at Red Bull Play Streets 2023. Who is it? Come on judges? It is Streets 2023 And it's a cruel one. This was a Close call very close call the cabra man is down Well, that's going to be the talk of the bar and the talk of gondolas and ski lifts and Freestyle ski forums for the next couple of weeks both incredible runs both incredible skiers both putting down two incredible runs Definitely, I mean it's so hard to chaps just Not a look at his switch back flip the left one left 720 Nice grab on that Definitely scored better here on this wall right with this flair nice new crab Andre made the double cork Definitely had a higher score there Like that The back flip bringing it round to backwards. He's got the 270 on here Super clean into the flat bar as the opposite 270 out and then the 450 is perfect. Well There we go Your winner. Yes, but shader is down at the bottom and we can hear from the winner right now For the second time you are the Red Bull Play Streets champion Just can you sum up your emotions for us? It feels amazing. I Can't believe I landed that last run that was the best run of the night So for me, so I'm super super stoked What is it about this event this course that clearly seems to suit you so well? I don't know you got a ski weird to be able to do a good run here I've not really seen that you're capable of doing that. Just how much did you enjoy this event? I enjoy it too much.

Today's episode is sponsored by Squarespace. Well, as I grow older I've realized that I want to die in a super mysterious way. That way a Netflix documentary comes out about my violent unsolved murder 10 years later.  Ruse 66 is a trip that Caleb and I have been planning for a very very long time and we finally had a minute or two off work so we said f*** it and hit the road. The plan was to fly out to Kansas and then road trip all the way back to LA via Route 66. Did we stick to Route 66 the whole time? Well, just like the toilet bowl when we take a leak there were a few deviations. Naturally on any road trip the hardest decision is deciding which cameras to bring. Since I'm dumber than a hot pocket I consulted the Oracle. After an initial offering of treats and gullet rubs a vision came to me and the message was clear. The Leica M6 and the Daddy Mamiya 7. The perfect duo like bees and honey, like peanut butter and jelly, like ortho film and red filters. I also brought a Yeshika T4, more on that in a future video. For this trip I shot none other than black and white and color negative film. Sorry to all you adrenaline junkies out there that wanted to see slide film. No, actually that's a lie. I shot two rolls of retrochrome. I couldn't resist. That film stock just gets me moisture than an oyster. Anyway, speaking of retrochrome I realized that my early morning flight would be lifting off just as the sunrise was happening, so I preloaded the Yeshika T4 with some of that good sh**. So to begin the journey I caught an Uber down to LAX. The ride was pretty good, four out of five stars. One star deducted because the driver tried to kiss me at the end for some reason.  Later on we picked up our rental car for the trip, a Mercedes S-Class. Anyway, the trip got started off right, shooting some sweet golden hour light around some small towns with Caleb and his brother. In the Mamiya I loaded up some XP2 and was shooting through a yellow filter stacked with a one quarter promissed.  This shot is the sh**. I love it. Retrochrome is amazing. I understand that it's not for everyone, but sometimes everyone around you is wrong. I think the colors are just so perfectly weird and expired that it works. You may have also noticed that there's a lot of scratches and just general, light leak bulls**tery in these shots. I'll get into why in a little bit. Let's talk about love. I mean film. Same thing. I didn't know how much film to bring, so I pretty much brought all of it. Over 70 rolls of film equating to something over a thousand shots, which you might think is extreme, but I'm a man of extremes. If I'm not in my garden resting and sipping tea with one pinky out, I'm butt-chugging Mike's hard lemonade in the back of a cab heading home from the club at 6am, but enough about last weekend. The last time I road-tripped with Caleb, I shot somewhere around 246 photos in 3 days. So who knows what 9 days is gonna do to me in my bank account. Well, I know because I'm recording this after the trip, but for you, it's a mystery. The next day we loaded up our vehicle and hit the road with a smile on our face and a song in our hearts, which would soon be crushed. Our first stop would be this abandoned high school in rural Kansas, and boy oh boy, do I wish we did not stop there. Not because the pictures sucked, I actually think that the images, not this one, turned out awesome. But because we found out that this abandoned high school was not actually abandoned anymore, and no, I'm not talking about ghosts, we found this out the hard way when Caleb tried to open a door, and it mysteriously slammed shut. Seeing the true cowards that we are, we booked it back to the horseless carriage and hightailed it out of there. We talked to some town folk later, and they explained that the people living there were, let's say, hostile towards everyone. Small towns are weird places. They explained that the town has been trying to evict them for a while, and apparently we were the only people ballsy enough to have a peek inside for a very long time. But that's because we didn't know. And yeah, this is what it looked like mostly. Anyway, we almost got our heads blown off shotgun style, but at least the photos look cool. Apparently this gymnasium interior. Throughout this small town, we also noticed that there were a few other interesting buildings that we also shot, though we were considerably more distant. It was also time to bust out the golden boy, the Leica M6. While cruising through Kansas, I got pulled over for driving while sexy. Just kidding, they won't pull you over for that, at least not in my experience. Apparently the left lane of a two-lane highway is for passing only, good to know. After calling the cop handsome, we got let off with a verbal warning and went on our way. The trip was off to a rocky start, but we were determined not to die. Luckily, I think the universe finally decided it was time to throw us at W. And that it did when we passed by this abandoned building and shot the ever-loving crap out of it. No shotguns, no onlookers, no police, just pure and simple Leica M6 and Mamiya 7 shutter slaps. Everything was calm and perfect, though it appears we had just missed the party. What do you think this was? It's probably a gas station of some sort, or a repair shop. Down the road was a real treasure. If by treasure, I mean a house that would go for 500 grand in LA as a slight fixer upper. I took the opportunity to wrap up the Portra 400 in my M6 and the retro chrome in my Yeshika T4. So you might be wondering about these light leaks. Since retro chrome is a respooled film, the Yeshika T4 just straight up yeeted the film off of the roll as it was trying to advance the next frame. So that would be fun to deal with later. We arrived in yet another small town and shot these fields of yellow flowers and ramshackled the bodes. I took this portrait on Ektar 100 of Caleb looking like he wants to f*** my Leica M6. Cytanium, you can be a little rough with it. We crossed paths with another abandoned school, but this time we stayed a safe distance away.  Being accepted as one of the locals, we cruised on to Oklahoma, which is about as close to Arkansas as I ever want to get.  I think when you go out on road trips and do shoots like this, you have to kind of warm up a little bit. I don't think that these photos are anything to slap the wall about, but I was getting into the groove. I probably should have just shot these on black and white too. As the day was winding down, we cruised through a bunch of random small towns and we finally picked one and stopped. The streets were completely empty, but not as empty as my bank account because of all that film. We just ordered $37 worth of Sonic because we have not eaten all day since breakfast. We are going to hate ourselves. I can't do it. I'm scared where that was going. Oh, boom. I wouldn't even. Here goes our lighting. Jesus had a hard day. It's time for Jesus to go to bed. At the hotel, we broke into our Costco whiskey supply that we brought along so that we could erase all of our memories from earlier that day. But before I got totally blasted and started running around the park in Latinacids singing Proud to Be an American, I needed to deal with the Yoshika T4 situation. The retrochrome was still jammed in the camera. So in the hotel bathroom, I turned all the lights off and huddled over the toilet, but not for my usual reasons. The film wouldn't go back into the cartridge, so I just used Caleb's knife to cut it out of the camera because drinking and knives are such a good combination. I threw the film into an empty black canister. The light leaks, I'm assuming, are a result of me not making the bathroom a perfectly light tight room. There's a sphincter joke in there somewhere. So the moral of the story is maybe just don't use respooled film in a Yoshika T4.  You now share a commonality with most of my teachers. The next morning, it was time to see what's cracking in Oklahoma. Caleb was enjoying his hotel cinnamon roll a bit too much. All right, so it's our first day in Oklahoma. We just woke up, got breakfast. Today we're actually getting it. Oh, my cinnamon roll is so good. I'm recording. We got to Chelsea, Oklahoma, and the vibe was just right there. Maybe because they're able to grasp the simple truth that Coke is better than Pepsi and they decorated their town square to reflect that.  This is the most Edward Hopper photo I think I've ever taken. You know what? I can't explain why. It's just a vibe. We finally made our religious pilgrimage to the Blue Whale of Catoosa, which to us was somewhat of a holy site. All right, here at the Blue Whale, this is where, if I recall, Kyle McDougal shot like a whole video here. Oh, I feel Kyle inside me. All right, well, I can't use that. I banged out some 6x7 Porsche 400 in the Mamiya 7 before I switched over to the Leica M6 again. I'm not really a big fan of these photos and I can tell you why.  That combined with my subpar compositional eye made the photos look kind of stale.  Eventually, we arrived in Tulsa and I loaded up the Ushika T4 with the PTSD of my last roll getting ripped still very fresh in my mind. This thing still works after I f***ed with it last night. So that's what that noise was. Yeah, I wasn't taking a s***. So I wanted to talk for a minute about lenses. I recently swapped out my Mamiya 7's 80mm lens for the 65mm, which is about 4mm short of perfection. All in all, these Mamiya 7 lenses are the sharpest I've ever used.  And that's why a lot of times I use a one quarter promissed on a lot of my black and white work to muddy and flare up the image a little bit. You okay, bro? I need caffeine. With these four shots, I cranked the aperture wide open to F4 to see what kind of out of focus falloff I'd get. And it's not bad, though I don't think anyone's purchasing the Mamiya 7 to shoot portraits. We pushed on to the town center and it was as dead as a doorknob, which was kind of great because no one was staring us down while we took photos. As we were cruising down old 66 as we'd soon start calling it, we saw a house that frankly has seen better days. And we shot it as quickly as we could before someone came along and told us who it was to scram.  Honestly, I have so many toilet photos now. Should I do a toilet scene? We hit up Pops, which is kind of a staple of Route 66. Basically they sell weird sodas, so we made it our mission to get the nastiest ones. We even asked some of the kids that were there, which ones were the grossest and they just told us we were freaks. Turn right onto Southeast K. Gaylord Boulevard. As we cruise through Oklahoma City, we actually got a tip from internet personality Ryan Graff about a cool neon light sex dungeon. And anything neon, we're there. How do you like that framing? These are some of the best photos from the trip, in my opinion.  Downtown Oklahoma City was kind of a strange place. It felt like a ghost town. There was practically no one on the streets amongst all these high rises. If you live in Oklahoma City, feel free to try and explain that.  Okay, I'll do Cherry Cove Zero. At a hotel somewhere on the border of Oklahoma and Texas, we broke into the nasty weird sodas and decided to see how well they pair with whiskey. Lennonade, it says get hammered and sickled. Cheers. Cheers. Tastes like sugar. Dude, it doesn't taste like anything. Are we gonna rate these from one to five? One to 10,000. Warm ooze. Dude, there's s*** in the bottom of this.  You know what'd be really funny is if we had whiskey in between. You just want to drink whiskey. I like it better than Lennonade. All right, palate cleanser. Pallet cleanser. Should we put some warm ooze in it? Do you want to? No. What do you mean no?  That makes it so much worse. So this is called Green Apple Soda. This looks like a Hulk piss. This tastes like a Jolly Rancher. All right, so this is a yeah, Georgia Peach flavored Coca-Cola. Do you think this will be the highest rated one? Claim perfume. Oh, that's really good. What does that taste like? Like movie theater slurpees. I wouldn't ever want to drink it again. Oh. I don't know how to say that. Ingola, Inglisa. What do you think this is going to taste like? Blood. All right, cheers. Cheers. Ooh, bubble gum, yeah. Unicorn yak. I feel like this could actually be good. No, I don't think this is going to be good. Not too fast. It's kind of like cotton candy with like. And nothing beats coffee. Gatorade. Is pop your thing? Do you like trying different pops? No. I'm not f***ing causing pops. What's the f***ing name? Look at the f***ing sign on this thing. Well, it's also pop. Pop is a Midwestern thing. Do you call sandwiches hoagies? No.   I have the weirdest taste in my mouth right now. No one's going to watch this. This video's already going to be like an hour long and it's like half of it's going to be us bulls***ing us. The next day we mistakenly woke up for sunrise. Mistakenly because the cloud cover made the sunrise non-existent. Being naive and all too hopeful, I put in some Portra 400. You know how they say you have to make mistakes to learn? Well, I made plenty of mistakes shooting these scenes in color and I didn't learn a damn thing. When I finally switched over to black and white, everything was right in the universe. No five beats to pump gas to. At this abandoned gas station, I don't think I took a single good photo. I know it might sound like I'm being hard on myself, but worry not. Public shaming is the only way I'll get better. Also, someone literally blew up the toilet. Back at the hotel, I finally assembled my tripod that I had smuggled onto the plane, but I didn't smuggle it in my luggage if you catch my drift. I'd like to take a moment and talk about our Lord and Savior, T-Max. Literally the finest grained 100 and 400 speed black and white films on the market. T-Max is just gangster. The shadows fall off into the darks very quickly and it just creates this mood in your images that's unbeatable. I only shot T-Max 400 on this trip, but I imagine 100 is just as dank. Our next stop was America's version of the Leaning Tower, which depending on your glancing angle is leaning to the left, which makes two things. Driving and shooting through Texas, I realized that I really enjoy these photos. Something about the light, the clouds, and the flatness just creates this really nice atmosphere. That and apparently Texas f***s with grain just as much as I do. This hotel was recently abandoned as far as we could tell. I finished up my roll of Portrait 400 in the Yashica T4 here. I figured now was as good a time as any to load up some retro chrome. Having learned my lesson the hard way, I figured I'd use a camera that doesn't have auto advance. At the Cadillac Ranch, we left our mark. I voted that we draw that S dollar sign thing that seems to be burned into our collective consciousness, but Caleb vetoed it, instead choosing to draw a nude self portrait. We stopped at another grain silo or a nuclear missile silo or whatever. I don't know what these things are. This shot is near perfection for me, except for two things.  So every one of these photos is overexposed by two stops. But you know what? T-Max came through and held it down. Additionally in hindsight, I kind of wish I'd backed up a little bit more for this shot. I knew that I wanted Caleb and the full scope of the silo in the shot so that I could show scale really easily. I think I just saw the opportunity in the moment and took the shot. On the road, we stumbled upon one of my favorite locations that I've ever shot at, an abandoned shale gas station. I had to pimp my retrochrome all over it. I also shot some portrait 400 in the Mamiya 7. Later on, we cruised up to some more abandoned gas stations though they were a little more covered in graffiti. Nonetheless, I finally took my own advice and shot some T-Max 400 in the Leica M6. T-Max! You know what? I actually really like these shots. In the Route 66 highway, we stumbled upon a completely abandoned motel which is a gem for photographers, but not so much for weary travelers, which we were both. I honestly don't remember taking a shot, but it's pretty cool. Why is it that the shots that we don't think twice about sometimes turn out to be heat? Each hotel room kind of had a cute theme. For example, one room would be destroyed and the next room would be super destroyed. It was really cool from a photography perspective. We continued onward to perhaps the most rugged part of the original Route 66. I didn't shoot anything here. I was a little more interested in getting back to civilization before we started hearing banjos. In 1.4 miles, turn right down to Cuecao Tiro. We finally arrived in New Mexico and checked into our hotel for the night. And we also checked out of all of our responsibilities because we started drinking as soon as we got in the room. Anyway, the perfect mixer for beer is pizza, so naturally we grabbed some slices. Yo! We just went out for pizza and milkshakes and now we're back in the hotel room.  Dude, I'm trying to record. So this was an interesting spot. My instinct at sunset is to shoot color, but today I went against my own programming.  With the yellow filter and the promissed, these shots really shined. Two minutes later, we stopped at this building that was quite colorful. I slammed some Ektar 100 in the Mamiya 7, released that helpful but annoying film curtain. Mamiya 7 users, you know what I'm talking about, and got to shooting. Counts like this is that... Like the silhouette of this town of Tucumari is actually really 1635 million.  So we got prepared by shoving some Cynestal 800T where the sun don't shine. That's right, in our light type Mamiya 7s. What is wrong with me? I threw up in my mouth again. Actually, these first few shots are some Portra 400 that I needed to wrap up. I'm not sure what compelled me to take a photo of Napa auto parts, but here it is anyway.  It's actually static discharge, and apparently it's pretty common with Cynestal. Back at the hotel, we winded down by watching some Kyle McDaddy videos. Kyle, if you're watching this video, I'm sorry.  We stopped at several locations that were a little bit past their prime. Unfortunately, the cloud cover wasn't on our side. In your head, not the butt, T-Max 400. A lot of these shots turned out great, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want a higher quality lens for some of these. Maybe it's time to invest in some Leica glass. Down the road of life and literally down the road, we found a hotel that had been completely gutted. I decided to change things up and shoot some Cat Labs 80, which was an interesting move because we would soon venture inside where there was significantly less light. Do we go up those stairs? One of the most janky places we've been in. We moved on to a different, abandoned part of the property, which was ironically named Paradise Hotel and Cafe. It seemed like a popular dumping ground for the locals, as evident by the fridge that had been there since probably the day before. So naturally, I joined in on the fun and dumped some T-Max 400 in my Leica M6. No filters, just raw T-Max doing what it does best, baby. While I'm going to be less and less of a fan of the Jupiter 35 millimeter lens, I have to say it's ability to flare up in very contrasty situations without being overpowering is pretty neat. Between this lens and vodka, the Russians really nailed it. Two seconds down the road was another gem, an abandoned gas station. I actually thought that this was one of the best locations that we had visited so far because it wasn't totally blasted with graffiti. This is just the type of location that I just felt like I had to shoot in six by seven. That being said, I don't really think that my photos did it justice. If you're wondering where you heard that before, it's probably from any point earlier in this video.   I came through that. Back section. Pretty cool. Yeah. Point Caleb dared me to climb a sketchy pool ladder. I dare you. Possibly hoping I would fall to my death from three feet up, but because I'm not a coward, I accepted. How many shots did you take? Maybe like five or six. I shot it with a yellow filter so all the blue should be kind of muted. Or the wrong choice. Visited this Wilkerson's, which is kind of like a CVS. If CVS had been bombed out by a German Blitzkrieg in World War II. As the sky started to piss on us more and more, we continued to shoot photos. Though our time was a bit limited at this defunct post office, I actually think I took some cool photos here. Yet another example of a scene that would be better shot on black and white. Anyway, Caleb and I were heading into a storm. Not like symbolically, but for real, like a huge storm. It was completely pouring rain outside. So we figured it was time to do what we do best. No, not talk about gear, but watch some YouTube of some of our homies. What we do for photography. That's how much I've shot. That's how much Caleb shot, which is a lot more, but you can't really tell in this video. Thoughts? Maybe slow down? Never. Trying to make up for some lost time, we loaded up some 800T for night photography. What you loadin'? What do you think I'm loading? It's night photography. This is still 50D. D for? Damn! That's gonna be a long exposure. Who's about tonight? I'm doing some shots. Shots on film. After getting out there, we kind of just realized that we didn't have the mental fortitude to keep going. After three and a half days of nonstop shooting, it was just kind of, it'd be nice to take a break. That, and we didn't want to deal with Albuquerque's strong crackhead energy. So we called it a night early and got a meat mountain sandwich from Arby's. Yes, they exist. Oh my God! Dude, it's gonna give me heart disease in like 40 seconds. I'm gonna have like heart palpitations while I'm sleeping.  After blacking out from the meat mountain and nearly sleep-shitting myself, we headed out to Arizona in search of some iced tea. Was Ektar the right choice for this scene? You be the judge. No, Ektar was not the right choice. France just doing drugs. I mean taking pictures. You have drugs? Cruising along, we pulled up to the Desert Sun Motel, which frankly had seen better days. Being naive and overly confident, I shot Ektar 100 in my Leica M6, but I also snapped a few frames in my Mamiya 7. All that I can say about all this is maybe don't shoot Ektar 135 millimeter in the middle of the day. You won't like it. And whatever peers you have will lose respect for you, at least in my experience. It actually passed me my Leica. Okay, daddy.  Down the road a bit, we came upon a, I don't know what this thing was. Nonetheless, I shot T-Max and the Mamiya 7 with the same all-promised and yellow filter. This shot is literally the climax of a diffusion orgasm. This is the most that I've ever seen a one-quarter-promised spike. As we drove along looking for places that were left behind, we stumbled upon this gem, a Taco Bell gas station cantina. I accidentally took a color photo with the yellow filter and promissed still on my camera from the previous roll. The result is what I would expect one of those Lomo liquid-filled cameras to look like if it were filled with piss. Similar to the gas station the day before, wondering about who the last person was who visited it, I started to wonder who was the last person to blow up the Taco Bell bathroom. Hoping to change things up a little bit from decrepit buildings, we visited Petrified Forest National Park. I loaded up some Ektar 100 in my Leica M6, hoping to pull a little bit of extra saturation from the landscape. The light wasn't great, but the park was closing in 45 minutes, so what could we do? Some of these shots actually had a really cool lens flare that made it look like Caleb was being beamed up. After singing Life as a Highway for the 300th time, we figured it was time to stop at Two Guns, Arizona. Much to our own disappointment, there were no guns, but instead some foundations of old stone buildings. According to the people that were there when we rolled up, this place used to be a zoo. I loaded up the Echica with some T-Max 400, as well as the Mamiya 7.  In the hotel, in Flagstaff, Caleb and I were bored, so we decided to check out some porn, camera porn. The next day was pretty eventful. We went to a local photography printing store and got a quick tour, which was super nice of them. I picked up an expired roll of Portra 400 VC for $5. I know I've made that joke in the past, but for real this time, and for real every other time. We moved on and I shot some Cinestill 50D in my Leica M6 as we did a hike in Sedona, Arizona. If that sounds familiar, you've probably already seen the video about it, and if you haven't, how did you miss it? We almost die of dehydration in that one. You won't wanna skip it. Here are some of my favorites from the hike.   Cinestill 800T in the Mamiya 7 was the only logical choice. Shot is obviously the best one because I'm a huge vanilla ice fan. All right, so we just got back from shooting some night photography in downtown Flagstaff, and you've probably seen the results by now. We haven't. Shot mostly Cinestill 800T with the... Okay, you can go do that. You don't need me to acknowledge you doing that. The next day, we continued our journey west in search of beautiful photography or whatever we could find, I guess. We'll see you again, Flag. We're cool now, because we know that. We know what Flag means. Yeah, because we've been there. We're basically locals. We eventually wound up in Truxton and shot some more long, abandoned facades. T-Max 400 and the Mamiya 7 was the only logical choice for me here because there was a lot of cloud color. I don't know if I'm really into the yellow filter look. I think when it works best is against blue skies, but when it doesn't work for a shot, I think it just kind of makes the mid-tones look a little gray and blobby. I don't know a better way to describe it, so you're just gonna have to live with that. You like this shot? My boy Tiffin came through in the clutch, thinking of naming my first born Tiffin as a tribute. We stopped in Kingman, Arizona, and the lighting was pretty much non-existent, just like our will to keep shooting. I don't know how else to say it. After like six days of non-stop shooting, we were kind of just starting to feel a little burnt out and needed a small break, but that didn't really stop me from firing away anyway, hoping for the best. The Yashica had T-Max 400 and the Leica had Portra 400.  I'm not sure that we're gonna get a Christmas this year, guys.  Not into it. Back in Arizona, we eventually arrived at a casino to spend the night. We're not really big gamblers. The only thing we gamble with is if enough light hits our silver halides in time. Anyway, it was our last night of the trip, so we hit the bottle. Dude, I knew that was gonna happen. And just like how alcohol disables other things, it also disabled our interest in shooting night photography that night. Perhaps the only good thing to come out of Arizona and that casino was that Caleb and I finally settled our beef.  Are we homies now? Oh my God, did that just happen? Dude. Good morning. The next day was our last and my spirits were high. This is our last day. Thanks, Jason. We stopped at a random town out in the California desert and I shot some T-Max in the Mamiya 7. But more importantly, I made a pretty big discovery. Shooting T-Max in the Yashica T4 with the flash on is actually kind of Fuego. I'll definitely have to explore this look further. We came to the conclusion that the best way to end a Route 66 road trip would be to drive our car straight into the Pacific Ocean and die. But passing on that, we decided that shooting the Roy's Route 66 sign would be the perfect way to cap it all out. I really dig these shots. Even if the lighting's not great, I think that the sentimental value is more than enough. As we concluded our trip, I started to draw comparisons between using a largely abandoned medium like film to document places that were also long since abandoned. It was the perfect metaphor. We eventually made it back to LA and returned the rental car. Do we have anything to say to our lovely rental car? You served us well. We abused you and we used you, but you always remained faithful. And in our hearts or something like that. Cool, okay. Let's exit. It was good to finally reunite with the most beautiful thing in my life, and Monica.

In the end, I think that these types of videos are my favorite to make, the sort of travel photography style videos. Of course, in my experience, it's not often about the journey so much as it is who you travel with. And Caleb was one of the worst possible I could think of. Obviously, I'm kidding. We had a great time. Once we agreed, APS film is sh**. I could see this channel's output moving into less uploads, but more longer form content like this that is a bit more out and about slice of photography life. I don't know if any of that makes sense, but if you're down for it, let me know. I think I produced some quality photos on this road trip. I mean, after 55 rolls of film, there better be at least one that's acceptable. And frankly, I'm excited for the next one. Caleb, I know you're watching. Let's do it again, except for the abandoned high school part.


Much of Next Cloud is designed to make you do things as fast as possible and make life easier saving you time. So from an email you can create a calendar event, you can create a task, from talk message you can also create a task or you can create a deck card and now with the smart picker you can insert any resource anywhere at Next Cloud super, super fast. And with all of these tasks throughout your day it can be a little bit overwhelming and that's why with this release we're really happy to announce that we're helping you hopefully mitigate that with setting reminders. So this is a great way to snooze various resources so you can deal with them later and these are scattered all across different Next Cloud apps. For example in files you can just go to the three dot menu, select set reminder and then you'll be able to deal with this file when you actually need to deal with it saving you the interruption right now. It's also available in talk. Maybe a colleague sent you a message that they need something by Tuesday morning and you can set a reminder to remind you only on Monday morning so you don't have to worry about it until then. And of course it's also there in mail. You can snooze emails and come back to them later and deal with them at your own time. With these setting reminders we hope that we can help you stay on track and stay focused throughout your work day. And at Next Cloud we just want to save you time and effort. So we have lots of features to help you do that like our recommended files, our recommended shareys and our related resources. Reducing complexity and making things simple is such a core part of our design philosophy at Next Cloud. And in all of this your data stays right with you. Your photos, notes, calendar, contacts, everything stays with you where it belongs and you can be sure that no AI is going to be trained on all of this.


Bro tied them fours way too tight. Just so y'all know, he's talking about these right here.  Meaning I just got them out the box and I haven't even had a chance to lace them up and put them on my feet yet, that's why they look like that.


Dear students, in this topic, we shall discuss the two mechanisms of motility of the elementary canal that is muscular and c-leary motility. The elementary canal uses two types of mechanisms which are quite different from each other for achieving motility. These are muscular motility and c-leary motility. The muscular motility mechanism is used by arthropods and cordates. It is used for the conduction of food content through the elementary canal. This mechanism involves the contractions of muscles of the wall of elementary canal. Muscular motility enables or permits handling of larger and harder pieces of food. In cordates, muscular motility is strictly by smooth muscle fibers, which contract and relax rhythmically. This movement or this pattern is known as peristalsis. Peristalsis pushes the food throughout the digestive tract. Arthropods may be muscular motility but that is achieved by the contraction of skeletal striated muscle fibers. Now, we shall discuss the second mechanism of motility that is c-leary motility. This mechanism is used by the elementary canals of anelids, many molusks, tunicates and cephalocordates. This mechanism involves the beating of c-lea which line the digestive tract. C-lea generate fluid crents and these fluid crents propel food in the digestive tube. C-leary action causes larger or harder pieces of food to not be moved. So, smaller particles or liquid form may occur. Dear students, some animals, in which canodums and most of the molusks come, they use both these methods. Their lining of the digestive tract is muscular but is also lined with c-lea so they use both these mechanisms simultaneously.


That's the thing with the glutes. They're very responsive to hypertrophy when you can train them properly You can really and it's a huge muscle and they have this massive capacity for strength and power and for development You just have to learn how to connect There's actually like three main muscles that make up the glutes You have the gluteus maximus, which is like the big kind of meaty middle part Then you have the medius, which is kind of this outer upper part and then you have the minimus Which is a smaller, you know part of the glute that's underneath the the medius now They all are involved in like hip extension like that's bringing your leg back to some degree abduction bringing the leg out Rotation for the most part and they all kind of work together So people who try to isolate one or the other I mean you can kind of do that. You can't isolate it You can put emphasis. Yeah, they work synergistically. It's not like comparing the bicep to the tricep, right? It's not like you can do exercises for and completely not working at all


Well, welcome to another edition of Yes, We're Here, Ian Joy, and today joined by a gem of a man, Jim Spinarco. Jim, first and foremost, how are you doing, and how have you been coping through this difficult time? Well, Ian, thanks for having me. It's good to hear your voice, and I hope you're doing well. And we're doing well here in New Jersey. My wife and I are four kids living in the state, you know, three in our town and one not too far away. So, so far so good. Everybody is healthy. Thank God. And it's just just trying to get through the days, just like everybody else.  Do you remember that? I do remember that because that doesn't happen very often from me. It's usually the other way around. So I'm sorry to remember that, yes, I had a little success with you, but very limited on the golf course. I look forward to the next time we can actually get out on the golf course. And maybe I can make amends for my performance that day. Let's get into the business. It's been a very difficult time for sports in general. I want to ask you about the NBA. I mean, what is the possible outcome for the season between now and how it finishes? Does it even get to the point where there's a thought of canceling the whole season altogether? You know, I think everything is up in the air right now in terms of all the different decisions that are probably being talked about. I'm sure they've been talked about by Adam Silver, the commissioner of the NBA and everybody else that's involved with that decision making process. I know Adam with, you know, listening to him with some of his interviews. I know that listening to them that they have some some steps that they play in games without fans. The one that they start, what's the timeline? And I think that, you know, it's obviously if you if you just watching the different news outlets now and watching what's happening with the coronavirus is that everything just seems to be continually being pushed back. I mean, the state of New Jersey and New York metropolitan area, everybody just got pushed back for the month of April. So obviously that what is that due to sports that continues to take the timeline and pushes it back and forth. So quite, you know, honestly, right now I wouldn't be surprised. I'm hopeful. I'm optimistic. I want to be realistic in terms of how long this thing looks like it's going to last. But I know no better than anybody else, the medical people that are out there saying it. So I think with that, I think if you keep an eye on the NBA, you keep an eye on Major League Baseball and NHL and watch what NFL football is thinking about, the sports will probably be an indicator in terms of what's happening with the virus going forward and how it's affecting everybody. But right now I just think they they're probably juggling multiple balls in terms of what they're thinking of, what they're going to possibly do. And it's just the timeline that nobody has an answer to because of the unknown. Yeah, it's almost as if we're sitting in like a holding pattern just waiting for good news to eventually arrive to us. It has been difficult. But why we do this is because we want to try and pick up the spirits of a lot of people. And I want to talk about a positive in your career and go back to where all began at Duke for you and talk about the rivalry a little bit, playing as a college basketball player.  I want to go to one of those games. I want to be in person. I want to be chugging a beer in the supporters grip beforehand and get into the stadium and just watch the game with enthusiasm and energy. What was it like as a player going through that rivalry? Well, one of the best parts about the Carolina and Duke rivalry is that it's so consistent. I mean, even this year, there was one good game, a great game. Obviously, Carolina has had a bad year this year overall, relatively speaking. But going back, I mean, back to when I was there, which was 100 years ago, the the rivalry was just as intense back then as it is right now. You know, depending on how you drive between North Carolina and Duke, it's either eight miles from campus to campus, maybe 11 miles, depending on which way you go. So the rivalry there, they're so close, the proximity is so close, and it's just, it's so heated. There's no other way of saying it. I've been fortunate enough to, to play in that, you know, in that game a bunch of times and watch it multiple times since, and it's never really lets you down in terms of a great game. I mean, people talk about, you know, the Yankees up here in the Boston Red Sox, and yes, that's a terrific rivalry and a rivalry that's never going to go away. But I just think from a college standpoint, you know, there are good rivalries in football and there are good rivalries in basketball. I just, I just can't see where any of them are any better than the Duke Carolina one, and especially being selfishly here now with the Duke Cameron indoor stadium, one of the best places to watch a game. I used to tell people I still do, if you can get in, if you, if you can get into the building for two hours prior to the tip-off, and then they ask you to leave a tip-off, still go because the two hours prior, you'll get your money's worth walking in the door and having some fun with that. I think that's actually why it's on my bucket list just so I can go and enjoy the two hours before the game more than anything else. Yeah, the Cameron Crazies are great during the game, but I used to, I remember, you know, as a player, that game and other big games in the ACC, I used to get there an hour or two before the game just to kind of get over there and loosen up before the formal warm-ups would begin. And part of my nuttiness was to watch what's going on in the stands and getting a feel for what the with the shenanigans were going to be for that given day. I made that same mistake. Obviously, I played in Germany soccer for five years and I played for both rivals. I played for Hamburg and I played for St. Pauli. St. Pauli was my love. I used to secretly go watch St. Pauli play soccer on a Friday night and then play for Hamburg the following day. Nobody knew I went. I wore baseball cap when I went to the games and I secretly planned my way to try and get to St. Pauli because it was just my club. It was my feeling. Very similar rivalry, big city in Germany. And I actually remember when I made the transfer over from Hamburg, I gave one of the old-time supporters, you used to come watch every training session, one of my old jerseys.  I didn't tell them where I was going. Then signed for the rival. So when we went back to play the game, it was like 50,000 people in the stadium and it was just meh-hem. It was incredible. It was almost very difficult to concentrate as I'm sure you know. But for me, I remember doing exactly what you did do. I went out just a little bit earlier to soak up the atmosphere and it was a big mistake because I went out and the whole stadium booed first and foremost when I walked out onto the field. And I remember somebody had pointed it out to me. I was doing a stretch and one of the guys pointed out to me, this same old guy was standing there with my jersey. He had it on a stick, on a pole and he set it on fire right on the warmer. And I was like, I was like, that got me just ready for this game. Did you have that like type of nastiness yourself? Like when you're playing, was it competitive on the field? But also like there was that little bit of hatred in between the two? Well, keep it, keep in mind, I didn't say that when I went to Carolina to play, that I went out two hours early. So to antagonize them. But so I only did that at home games really. But yeah, there were venues throughout the ACC and going back when I was playing, there were only seven teams in the ACC. So we were playing places like Ad Virginia, Maryland, Carolina, NC State, Clemson with Tree Rollins when he was down there. So there were great rivalries in a sense from the ACC standpoint because the ACC basketball was great. And every different place had a different kind of style of being able to get in your head and try to distract you from a player's perspective. But, you know, most of the memories were pretty clean. Most of the memories were fun. But they were competitive and the play on the floor, because the fans were so into it and the fans were so enthusiastic, I think there was a carryover effect both ways. I mean, it was competitive basketball. If we played in a gym with nobody in the gym, it would have been competitive. But having people in the gym and being fiery at the same time just lifted the competition up a little bit more. Jim, thanks so much for your time. I could sit here and talk with you for another 60 minutes easily just about your basketball career. We'll have to save that for another day. But once again, stay safe, stay healthy. And to everybody out there who's watching on, thank you so much for joining us. Make sure you're making those smart decisions and staying in isolation. We'll see you next time.
