Bo’s sons were fortunate enough to tag along on this photo shoot. Although too young to really grasp the location and the icon behind the scenes, Kai begged to slide down the face of the 13 foot vertical ramp.

Bo teamed up with HOPE and Childrens Hunger Fund along with local resident DJ Jeff Murrell to collect donations of non perishable goods and clothing. Silvio’s BBQ donated food to all that stopped by on our first day and Justin Dzuban played live acoustic music to all who stopped by with donations. The front half of the gallery filled up quickly! We continued receiving donations for almost 2 weeks. Hybrid Apparel was gracious enough to donate 30,000 units of brand new children’s clothing including board shorts, jeans, and t-shirts. Thanks to all who helped make this fundraiser such a huge success.

Weather here in Southern California is more of a novelty. Recently there was a local emergency hotline call stating a tornado had been spotted just 20 miles off the coast and headed this way. The tornado never came, but one small ray of light popped through the clouds and lit up the Manhattan Beach Pier. In the same week snow blanketed the mountains in the LA basin.

After shooting the first run of the mens halfpipe prelims on Thursday and uploading images back to the staff at the studio,Bo was able to get back on the mountain to shoot the prelims. By the time Bridges was finished shooting that evening, the sequence was completed and in the hands of the editor back in NYC.
