Last week Spy made a trip out to SLC to meet up with some of the boys to get some shoots snapped of them. We met up with Darrell Mathes, Louie Vito, Stevie Bell and of course our favorite photog Andy Wright, to make some magic happen on the snow and behind the lens. After scouting around SLC and Park City we rolled up on something that looked fun, so Darrell was down to get all up on it and drop some shit.

As we were driving around Park City we ran into some strange characters… Look at this ladies hair.. makes me wanna barf

The next day we went on snow at Park City with Louie Vito and Stevie Bell. Anyone who has been around these two know the second you get them together into turns in to a shit talking, I am better then you tennis match back and forth. We lapped the park on bunch, having a grand old time, and filming lines, then headed down to the pipe which had the bottom of it bowled out a bit. Louie and Stevie started having a hand plant off, it was rad to see how good Louie was at hand plants, he was holding his frontside inverts for such a long time, and of course his hand was right on the coping of the wall.

This was Louie warming up, just wait until you see the real photos.. shits banging
Best friends... plant together

Later in the day we shot some portraits of the guys just doing what they do best… CHILLING
