Well, I think that for our general interests we're going to have to go with snowboarding and skateboarding...yup that sounds good to us.
Oh we also like to take pictures and put video together. You can see all we've done as well as learn more about Gromfest at our website.
Just head to www.gromfest.org
Music
We're drawn to rock more than anything...there isn't a rock song out there that we couldn't put a video to.
What we have found is that most anything can be used for skate and snow videos...if you don't believe us just head over to our website and check out the Concrete Rodeo video.
A skate video to country music? Yup, we did it.
Movies
Hmmm, well there are a ton of great skate and snow videos out there that's for sure. We've watched a bunch and own them in our collection as well.
However, honestly seeing homemade snow and skate videos is even better. Watching you guys pull off the tricks and create something unique is better than the mass produced videos.
If you have a video that you want us to see, send it to us...you may get chosen for Gromfest that way.
Television
FUEL, OLN, ESPN...anyone who runs alternative sports.
Books
So from looking at others profiles it doesn't seem like many people are out there reading books. There are plenty of great reads however.
If you want to read more about the sports we all know and love check out "P3:Pipes, Parks, and Powder", "Concrete Wave: The History of Skateboarding", "Sick: A Cultural History of Snowboarding", or "The Mutt: How to Skateboard and Not Kill Yourself"
Heroes
Every young ripper out there who gives it their all and won't stop until they've learned the trick. For them there is no fear and no second best.
About me: The Great Northwest Gromfest is an event like no other. Not only does it celebrate the past and present of the sports it features, but also supports the future. By donating all proceeds to non-profits that use alternative sports to benefit kids, we are helping to assure a bright future.
For all the competitions, information, pictures, videos, blogs and more, head to www.gromfest.org. Then sit back, take it all in and don't forget the most important thing of all: Enjoy the Ride!
Who I'd like to meet: Times they are a changin'. Sports that were once deemed "reckless" and full of "punks" have become some of the most popular pastimes. Even with the recent growth of board sports, one thing remains the same...they're driven by youth!
For this reason Gromfest would like to meet anyone who's 18 & under and likes to ride for the simple fact that it makes them happy. Do we care if you compete? Heck, no. What we care about is that you're out there enjoying yourself and pushing the sport.
