I just like the part where the snow hits me in the face. And ya. I did title the post that without using the David Bowie song. It’s my website and I’ll do what I want.

I call this variation on a fun tower 3 air, the Unofficial JakeCast Air. You can see a previous Unofficial JakeCast bombhole that I managed to land in due to my helmet camera deciding the world was not ready for the radness that was my first send of this thing.

Jawaz.

Hanging Bowl, the Tram Show way.

Death Chute, the Nik Axe-Attack way.

DON’T SHIFTY THE TREE. tree wins everytime.

Repeats before sweeps.

Self-Promoted Podcast Proclamations

Last week the earth was shaken to its core by a massive magnitude mishap that was followed shortly thereafter by a tsunami of sadness…

…I am of course talking about the departure of Joshua Topolsky, Nilay Patel & Paul Miller from Engadget team and the disbanding of one of the greatest podcasts known to man. A show that has gotten me through many programming binges and bouts of lab-induced insanity.

In their honor, I followed in proper jcdc fashion with this pre-airtime proclamation on top of a odd variation of Snowbird’s Death Chute that I am dubbing, the EGP Air.

…and some other stuff

Nik goes upside down and cuckoo on his, ‘gad two, double as a single’

Escaping my filming post.

Kyle with a very standard 3 off Silver Fox’s standard air.

Funzoville Air. Awesome as long as you avoid the bushes and rocks.

Also. Sorry to anyone that may have been offended by my blunt intro. Feel free to donate to the relief effort in my name. Japan is rad. Kenjiro lives there and they make a lot of cool tech stuff, despite the fact Subaru Factory in Gunma is refusing to send me a wiring diagram in English of their kookie climate controls.

Now I gotta learn to solder in Japanese…

HelmetCast 24 (Clean)

Corporate America has once again intruded on my artistic rights, this time with an unnamed University in Utah wishing to use footage of my raw power for marketing purposes, demanding that the music I use in my videos contain no profanity.

What?! Stifle my creative genius, I say? But alas, while my integrity remains great, my desire for money, women, fortune and fame is far greater and so I acquiesce.

Here is HelmetCast #24, re-edited with enough indie rock to make all the hipster girls swoon.

And while this video was still my creation, it has now become the second saddest thing to occur in the blogosphere this week…
