Phil’s Snowsk8_Aliens Part

After a winter spent sick, hurt, and in Canada, this is the part Phil ended up with for Ambitions most recent video. Spare for some camera malfunctions and lost tapes, Phil wasn’t too pleased with the results. But if youve got some spare time, watch the vid and hopefully something in it makes you smile…or at least prepares you for the gnarlitude of this years Ambition Full Length…

Goodbye Snow, Hello Moto

Spring time is just around the corner and the focus is now shifting.  From searching for the shot and chasing the snow to prepping the bikes and getting in shape, a drastic change is about to occur.  It is also a good time to look back on the winter and remember all the good times.  Smagical.com would like to follow Ambition Snowskates lead and congratulate Phil Smage on capturing a victory at every major snowskate competition this season.  A huge shout out to all the other riders who got it done this winter season as well!  Follow the link, read the story, and check out some videos/products!

Vermont Snowskate Session

Alan, Bjorn, and Phil’s snowskate adventure continues. On the way down south, and back into the U.S. of A, they stopped off at Ambition Filmer/Editor/Shredmaster Nick Stephani’s. After a few games of skate on his yard features, it was time to cross the river. And cross the river they did, heck, Bjorn even belly flopped into it. Enjoy the edit and remember, snowskate gliding, stand up sledding if you will, is fun…so give it a try.
