Teton Gravity Research’s World Premier of Re:Session in Jackson Hole Wyoming!

I just returned from the world premier of the TGR movie Re:Session. I loaded up my truck with bikes, golf clubs, BASE rigs, coolers, girl, dog and made the drive from Tahoe to Jackson Hole. I look forward to this event each year because it’s our reward to all the hard work during the winter. Most TGR athletes make the voyage to Jackson from all over for the 3-day event. The first night starts out with a family dinner of steak and lobster. Reuniting with good friends and good food usually ends up an exciting evening!

Day 2 usually entails a bike ride and the all-important annual TGR Tee Off. For some reason, the fine resort “Teton Pines” allows us heathens to play an afternoon 9-hole scramble. The teams are randomly selected prior to arrival and having your name on the prized trophy holds some serious power!

Day 3 is show time. For most the athletes we have seen our raw footage but none of us know what was used for the film. Everyone is anxious to see how the finished product turned out. The place was packed with wild snow fanatics anxious for some new footage to help get them through till winter.

TGR puts on an amazing event each year and I’m always bummed when it’s all over!

Jackson Hole is one of the most beautiful places on earth.  The Teton mountian backdrop is unbelievable and the gereral landscape is inspirational.

Nitro Circus Season 2: Wingsuit dog fights

During the filming of Season 2, executive producer Jeff Tremaine saw Matt Hoffman’s Danger Defying Daredevils at Six Flags Magic Mountain. In the show Jeff saw some wingsuiter’s flying around one another with smoke and thought the visual was worth filming for the TV show. I rounded up some of my buddies for some heli jumps in Heber, Utah. We decided we were going to try and take each other out but bumping, creating air burbles, or just plain scaring one another. It ended up working really well and we had a great day…here are a few Scott Freeland photos from that day.

Hi everyone. Sorry for not keeping up with my posts. I have been home for over 2 weeks straight…that is the longest consecutive time I have been home all year.

Winter is right around the corner so its time to start getting ready for the snow to fly. It’s an El Nino year so hopefully it will be a big winter!!!  By the sounds of things…we might be filming season 3 this fall/winter so I am getting my rest in now!
