The Champ @chasesexton 🤙

It feels way too good to be back at the track with this dude. I’ve been shooting with Chase since I first picked up a camera, back when we were both groms in Illinois. We’ve worked on some fun stuff together, and both come a long way since then.

It’s been a long time since I’ve shot moto, and I had really missed it. It’s fun to be shaking the rust off. More soon!

On April 17th, one of the best people I know, and one of my absolute best friends, @sy_moran had a life changing accident.

Sy suffered a seizure while riding a chairlift and fell nearly 40 feet. What followed was a fight for his life. He spent 60 days in the trauma ICU, and has been in the hospital for the last 150 days. Sy suffered numerous injuries, including a spinal cord injury, and is now paralyzed from the waist down.

Many of the greatest and most memorable moments of my life have been shared with Sy. We’ve traveled the world together, battled the elements in the backcountry, shared tiny hotel rooms and tinier rental cars, crushed beers, made ravs w/ @elysewalters , and given each other the worst haircuts of our lives (a long-owed debt I recently got to repay.)

Sy has always been one of my favorite riders to shoot. His effortless style on and off the board makes my job easy, and he is the subject of many of my favorite photographs I’ve ever taken. More importantly, he just makes every trip and experience better.

I’ve probably laughed more with Sy than anyone else in my life. Sy is kind, genuine, fiercely passionate about the things he loves, and steadfast in what he believes.

Even now, in the middle of the fight of his life, he asks every nurse, aide, doctor, and visitor who comes into his room how they’re doing. He learns where they’re from. He asks about their families and their interests. He finds ways to make them laugh.

He truly is one of the best of us, and now Sy needs our help.

Please help share his story. Share his page and his GoFundMe. Take a few minutes to read about everything he has fought past over the last five months. And if you’re able, please consider donating. Any amount truly helps to ease the enormous burden that comes with the road ahead. (link in bio)

Sy, I’m so proud of you brother. Watching the fight that you have made to get here, and the way you’ve continued to care for those around you through it all, has been inspiring. You’re a warrior.

Got your back every step ahead. Ride or die. Love you long time 🥊

HOME BREAK IS LIVE ON SHRED BOTS ❤️

Year 3 of Home Break was good times all around. The biggest build and crew we’ve had yet. It’s been an absolute pleasure to build this event with @taylor_gold and is such a highlight of our season every spring. Go give the edit a watch, link in bio. Hope ya’ll enjoy the edit, and we’re already counting down the days until next year’s event 💪🏼

Massive gratitude to @nideckersnowboards @ikonpass and @steamboatresort for helping us make this event possible, to the park crew who put in so many hours for us, and to all the riders and and media crew who came out to share in the good times with us taken in Steamboat Resort by @jeffurbahn

3/3 | Stills work for @alpinestarsmx with @chasesexton // This is one of my favorite projects from this year. 20 minutes with Chase in a parking garage the night before Seattle SX, and a couple of hours at the test track the following week, to capture video and photo assets for the release of the Steeler LE collection. It was a bit stressful, but a lot of fun, and I’m proud of how this one turned out on a tight timeline. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the shoot.

A sampling platter from the first half of summer 📸☀️

It’s been a busy first half of the year, and I have a lot of new work and campaigns I’m excited to share in a more curated way. In the meantime, here’s a random assortment of work from the last couple months to prove that I am in fact still taking photos, even if I haven’t been posting any of them taken in Seattle, Washington by @jeffurbahn

The moments between // Long travel days and longer nights out in Tokyo with @sy_moran and @taylor_gold

Perhaps what I’m most grateful to snowboarding and cameras for, is the chances they’ve granted me to travel the world with some of my best friends. Trying to be present between the moments of chasing snow and bagging clips, and soaking up these experiences. Exploring new places, trying new food and drink, and experiencing different cultures. These are some of my favorite moments on any snowboard trip.

Here is a small sampling from the camera roll, hauling board bags and pelican’s through the streets of Tokyo in 2023, fighting jet lag and hangovers. taken in Tokyo, Japan by @jeffurbahn
