To kick things off, Minneapolis’ Alan Gerlach is our man. Alan started his snowskate career as an Am at Premier Snowskates and is now a Pro for Ambition. Known for his smooth style and huge tricks, Alan is not afraid to attack a 17-stair handrail head on. All month long, we’ll bring you new media, an interview and even some words from the man himself here on Image Method. To kick things off, we’ve got an exclusive photo of Mr. Gerlach attacking a handrail just the way he knows how. Stay tuned to Image Method!

You know the one I’m talking about. It’s the conversation about how snowskating is becoming more and more legit every year and how this new season will be even better than the last. While it may be cliche at this point to say it again, I really feel as if we’re once again in for a big, maybe the biggest year in riding.

Just a few days ago, Bjorn R-G and filmer extraordinaire Logan Triplett rolled into Minneapolis and met up with Alan and myself and the Ambition riders started off strong. Not just a day later, we had set up a huge, and I mean huge pole jam that stood at end higer than my head and I’m motched up at about six feet. The guys killed it and we got great photos and video that I’m sure you’ll get to check out pretty soon. That night, it really heated up when we build-up and lit a sick 17-stair handrail and Alan nails a huge 50-50 down it. In just one day, we already had some amazing sessions and huge tricks.

I guess that conversation is more appropriate than ever. This year really is going to be a big year for snowskating.

And maybe only three or four of these ever saw the light of day. So every once in a while, I’ll be posting shots from the past at the games here on Image Method. I figure there’s no reason not to, right? Well anyways, I’ve already posted two, both featuring the impossible wall that many tried and only a few ever completed. Head back to the main page to check em out!

Cheers!

We’re dedicated to bringing you the best of the best in snowskate media. From full videos to sick photos and even some evening edits, we’ll be your source for all things visual in the snowskate world. We’ll be working with the biggest names in the sport like Ambition, Icon and Jux Skate Co to make sure you get top-tier quality. Even today as I write this, Ambition riders Alan Gerlach, Bjorn R-G and filmer Logan Triplett are gearing up for a few days in Minneapolis and I plan to join them myself and shoot as well. Our little sport is no-doubt growing faster and faster each year and with the quality bar being raised so high, I figured it was about to time to execute on the idea of this site which has been milling around in my head for a long time now.

As the logo at the top of the site says, we’re in a small Beta right now. This means while the site is live and will be updated, you may see minor to major changes happen for a while. You may also see a few quirks and bugs here and there as well. But fear not friend, as they’re being sorted out. We also plan to  upgrade and add features as time goes on. For now, make sure you bookmark the site, subscribe to the RSS feed and even hit up the Image Method Twitter which will updated you as soon as new content hits plus much more.

Thanks and cheers! – Nick
