Amanda Capper – Goodnight Movie


[YouTubular]

Tonight’s movie is from Utah…

There is a BMX rider named Stephen Murray who had a traumatic injury in a Baltimore 2007 BMX Dirt event. He was throwing a double back on a bicycle and broke his neck. It was my first day announcing for DEW tour as G-Man and this was by far one of the worst accidents I have ever seen. During Stephens rehabilitation at Craig Hospital from a C3 broken neck… he eventually weaned from a ventilator which was amazing – since he could now breathe on his own. But at such a high level quad he is completely confined to a sip and puff wheelchair.

Friends and supporters started a brand “Murray Strong” over the last couple years and from what we heard in Utah… Stephen’s own spirits have been relatively low right now. As you can understand… being confined to a wheelchair can definitely take it’s mental toll on you… which it has on Stephen. When you lose your own zest for life it is time for friends and family to help keep you motivated to live the best life you can. Keep your head up high Stephen – this is a movie from your friends.

Stay Strong.

As a gift from Amanda Capper to everyone who takes the time to watch and understand the “real life” moment we had here in Utah – you get a surprise gift for your iPods.

Amanda Capper – Cocoon – Drift Away

I’m not going to guarantee this link will exist very long as this is a direct track from Amanda Capper’s upcoming album “Cocoon” … but I think Amanda will oblige. Recorded at Akashic Recording Studio with Prasanna Bishop on the Saxophone, this was simply an amazing experience.

Bamboo Blackbox Case Launch

We finally launched a project I have been working on early this morning. I have to say that it is scary to put yourself out there like this when you simply just don’t know what can happen. I’m feeling confident that we can get some attention and reach our goal though. These cases are just too well made and gorgeous to not be seen and there are some super good deals for those early adopters.

“Thank you for your support and helping us take Blackbox Case to the next level. As you can see in our pledging limits to the right we have tried to accommodate for nearly anyone who would like to be a part of making this product a success. We have included some fun enhancements for those of you who are looking for that extra effort in truly building a product together and we have provided some excellent deals for you early adopters. Don’t take our light hearted approach of making something unique and home grown the wrong way — We are firm believers in following your passions and making the most of any opportunity that is granted to you. Life is simply too short to not make something amazing.”

Save $20 on an iPad 2 Bamboo Case for the first 100 pledgers… Cheers to the future!

HYDLE + Nabor D – Sherpa House in Golden Colorado


[YouTube] <— 0 The Sherpa House in Golden, CO is amazing. Be sure you drink their authentic Sherpa House Ale from odell brewing company.

The Sherpa House restaurant and cultural center brings you the best of the Nepalese, Sherpa, Tibetan and Indian cuisine from the Himalaya. At least that is what the menu says… and take my word for it – the Tikka Masala and free range Yak Sizzla is amazing here – and affordable.

Namaste!

Hydle Finally Inspired – Take Charge of Your Health

Ted Archuleta ready to go massive on your ass

June 4th, 2011 – Ted Archuleta will reveal his newly shaped body to the world when he performs his 60 second routine to this get pumped version of “All of the Lights” by Kanye West and Rihanna.

Directions – How To Take Charge of Your Health

1 – Listen to the mix we made — All of the Lights (Archuleta Mix by Hydle)
2 – Get pumped.
3 – Now you understand where the context of this email is coming from.

Ok Ted … time for Hydle to take charge of his health.

I want a program – I want small episodes of how to cook – how to eat healthy – and I want to understand why why why… why a certain percentage of whole wheat whatever is ok vs. some other whole wheat whatever. I want to bring this story into my blogo-sphere-land and story telling ability and it is going to connect with other random cooking things I have in the pipeline.

There is a space for this now and in the future… your identity has already been slightly established (http://www.hydle.com/blog/tag/ted-archuleta/) and with your weight training and body building success about to unfold we have a perfect launching platform to tell stories.

This will take work — actually it will probably be the most difficult thing you have ever achieved (way harder then going to coors complex and not drinking beer)… but I think you can muster it. Let me know if you are up for being the master dietitian… + rocket scientist. And maybe energy drink review master for Hydle.com

Rock on!
Hydle

4 – Support Ted at the Mile High Natural Bodybuilding Championships on June 4th.
5 – Live better and smile more.
6 – Repeat steps 1 and 2.
7 – Repeat step 6 – over and over and over again.

The Party of 1999

[iDevice Link]

Noah Brooks + Greg Hydle + Joel McCormick’s 1999 Road Trip to Whistler
Season 1 – Part 1
Colorado to Multnomah Falls

DESCRIPTION:
In 1999 the three of us took off on “MY first ever” road trip from home. We packed a car full of goodies… including a full Apple G3 desktop computer setup with 17″ display + Joel’s portable TV. We didn’t have pocket cameras… we had a Sony VX1000 with a non endless supply of DV tape. If I could tell you what day we began this adventure – I would. Unfortunately I didn’t organize media (or capture it) in the 90s the way I do now. Lets just say this is sometime in the month of June of the year 1999.

DISCLAIMER:
I’m bringing this to you RAW and uncut (minus a couple bare ass noah shots) because I love seeing how we began documenting life… and what it has now transformed into.

Also… I miss all of Joels quirky antics, like his laugh and his random looks that just kinda make you smile.

Sorry for the raw language and anything that may offend anyone. We were kids. Wait… we still are. Miss you Joel.

Hope you enjoy the adventure.

[Part 2 – Multnomah to Bellingham]
[Part 3 – Mount Baker]
[Part 4 – Drunk in Vancouver]
[Part 5 – Border Patrol – oops]
