Genius.

HYDLE – It’s Story Time

Posted on February 15, 2011 by hydle

[iDevice Link] <— 21,510 In November of 2010 I had the opportunity to road trip to Lubbock, Texas to tell a story about a west texas piano player who goes by the name of Doug Smith. My only introduction to Doug prior to engaging with him at his home in Petersburg, Texas was this video above... and a minor tour through his music library from the iPod on the road trip down. Doug was injured in a car accident in 2007 while driving home from his studio late one evening on a two lane rural Texas road. Hey lay upside down for 3 hours with a broken neck before he was found and ultimately transferred to Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colorado to continue his rehabilitation back to the piano. As you will see in these future posts about this life changing trip to the cotton fields of west Texas, Doug Smith has since returned to the studio in a new musical form.

“You don’t need hands to play a piano… you don’t need legs either. You just need a will in your heart.”

Look for the release of Doug Smith’s first post injury album to be hit the shelves shortly after the 10th annual Craig Hospital PUSH Dinner on March 3rd, 2011 – where you will also get to view this completed video project.

IMPORTANT! HOW TO USE YOUR SHAKE WEIGHT

READ THIS FIRST!

Keep the Shake Weight at least 6″ away from your face at all times during exercises to avoid injury
The Shake Weight is not motorized, it is a mechanical device that you move back and forth with your own muscle power
Simply hold the Shake Weight with both hands, lock your wrists and move the Shake Weight slowly back and forth on and even plane, about 3 inches in each direction.
Hold with both hands, elbows close to the body and tighten the muscles in your upper body.
The faster you move it, the more intense the workout will become

Feelings, do they make you soft?

After reading / researching / browsing / linking / searching and internet surfing on random waterfalls and kayaking expeditions throughout the world – I stumbled upon this Outside Magazine article about the life of Hendrik Coetzee and his unfortunate death on the river.

It is a very inspiring story and kicked me into an emotional adventure thinking about how small life really is and how important it is to live yours. Because If you don’t live your life – then somebody else will… and Henri Coetzee, “the great white explorer”, was that somebody.

I feel privileged to take the time to learn something amazing about the passions of a complete stranger. I have some friends up above that I know you are hanging out with Henri. Your last writing is chilling to consume, and will not go unnoticed for you shall never “live a better day”.

Why, within human nature… does it take something to end, like death – for others to begin caring?

Conversation goes like this:

TE: <link sent>
Hydle: DUUUUUUUUMP! that is large. Real?
TE: Stupid???!!!!! Doesn’t take much talent to fall!!!!
Hydle: Lots of balls!
TE: No brain No pain!!!
Hydle: Large Kayock.

For a while I was watching in low def thinking it was faked… but reading into it and watching in HD i’m willing to claim this massive 189 foot waterfall kayak drop by Tyler Bradt a real success.

Don’t be scared to check out Dream Result and watch the trailer to the movie this ridiculous drop of Palouse Falls in Washington State appears in.

While we are at it, lets enjoy some of the most amazing waterfalls in the world.

Working out a nice deal with Blackbox Case to offer the first ever Hydle branded product.

With future products + accessories + finishes on the way… I literally love the “branding” potential of this product and am excited to finally offer a product to share with my friends.

Your Welcome, Hydle

Thank You from NIMBUS INDEPENDENT on Vimeo.

Thank You is exactly what the title states; a thank you to everyone who watches Nimbus.

Thank You begins by interviewing individuals from every walk of life about how they predict the winter. The movie then recaps the best of the last three years of Nimbus. Enjoy!

Nimbus Independent was started in 2007 by Eric Pollard in collaboration with Pep Fujas, Andy Mahre, and Chris Bencheter. The four like minded skiers began Nimbus to bring a different perspective to the world of ski movies.
