(5:48) Xcorps Action Sports Show #18.)"MTN.BOARD"seg3- Xcorps host Eric Ducharme and 20 other dirt board skaters roll down the infamous Nate Harrison grade on the backside of Californias Mt. Palomar in this grassroots speed driven episode. All terrain skating also known as mountain boarding is a hybrid sport that has taken skating to a whole new grass roots level of adrenalized excitement. Once again Xcorps cameras were the only ones rolling on the action as boarders ripped down the 7 miles of rough fire road on the historic Palomar Mtn which is topped by the famous observatory. Race rules were simple- fastest time to the bottom of the mountain wins. The show opens fast and hot as the X Guru and other boarders strap themselves to their specialized skateboards, which have pneumatic tires, and spring suspensions that help handle the bone jarring washboard ride. Dirt riders roll hard in show scenes backed by Maverick Records band One Side Zero. See the dust and gravel fly as Eric and the guys and one gal-Julian Lewis- slide into the hairpins. Lots of cool POV and multi angle speed shots here along with some brutal wipeouts. Most riders do wear full protective gear resulting in a good survival rate. Eric then talks to race organizer Rob Eakle about the grass roots event and the sponsors that make it happen. After that Eric intros a new video from our friends at RIVE with the band Skinny Puppy showing some major break skills in their new video called Pro Test directed by William Morrison. Very hip shot and edited film backed with tunes by a world-class band. The next segment rolls right into another new video from RIVE and Side One Dummy Records with the band Flogging Molly rocking a punk Celtic-Core Irish jig called Drunken Lullabies. See band member and pro skater Matt Hensley huck some sweet street skate moves here along with more dirt skate scenes with Eric from Mt.Palomar. Nice dusty wipeouts too! After that the X Guru interviews NHG 7 mtn board 1st place race winner Krazy Kris Kidwell and 2nd place winner pro Akoni Kama who talk about their recent gigs. The show wraps with more dirt skate action from Palomar including 4 year old Damian Hurtenstein showing his young board skills followed by a look at some core dirt board action scenes from the video Flirt With Dirt by Damon Krouse. Dirt boarders rule the dust! TRT-29:30 Closed Captioned 10/04 J.S.Edmondson See the Action Hear the Music Join the Xcorps! ©2007 TheXcorps < less

(3:00) Xcorps Action Sports Show #2.)"BASE"-seg2- The theme of emerging X sports, lifestyles and music carries on with this dangerous new episode of The X Corps which reaches all the way to Norway with a look at BASE jumping. The show opens with a sunny day at the beach in Santa Monica Ca with X team hosts Roslyn Bradle and Jason Lazo setting up to test ride the new ‘Skate Luge’ sitdown skate board fitted with the new ‘Skatebrake’. Check it out, a new way to stop a skateboard that really works! Next the show features a select corps of people who take jumping from 3000-foot sheer cliffs to a new level of fun danger and expression. See X Corps host and B.A.S.E. (Buildings-Antennas-Spans-Earth), jumper Ray Murphy – a pro sky diver with over 3500 jumps - plummet downward along a water fall at over 120 mph at the cliffs in Kjerag Norway. This area is considered the best B.A.S.E. jump zone on earth. New and unique styles of jumps are shown here including the near fatal ‘throw-off’ and the hilariously funny costumed ‘Udder Jump’. Dramatic multi camera POV angles put you there for the big drops pumped by music from the Maverick Records band ‘One Side Zero’. Girls can jump super big too! See Annie do her back flip off the cliff edge and watch her landing at the bottom. Sweet! After that Roz and J intro X Corps ‘Gadget Man’ Eric “The X Guru” Ducharme who demo rides the fresh and unseen BMW (yes the German car company), “Streetcarver” skateboard down the hills of Encinitas CA. Sweet and smooth can describe this new ride made from actual parts from the car line. See Eric power slide into the camera with tunes and live shots from San Diego bands “Honeybucket” and “Pivit”. Then X Corps host Bob Woodard surfaces after sunset in San Diego at the “Chamber” indoor skate park. Bob talks to Osiris pro skater Dave Mayhew. Hear what Dave has going and see his moves around the zone. Fun camera work and sweet skate runs by other riders including San Diego local Ray Gauthier. Roslyn and Jason wrap the show back in Santa Monica with another “Skateluge” run followed by a sneak look at an upcoming X Corps episode featuring the next generation of “Snow Bikes”. Check your gear before you jump! See The Action Hear The Music Join The Xcorps! 3/2002 TRT-29:30 Close Captioned J.S.Edmondson ©2007 The Xcorps < less

(1:01) tThe Toyota Snowbomb / Alpine Meadows Sick and Twisted Big Air competition was Sunday, March 9. This HUGE competition included $5000 in cash, and great sponsor prizes. This year’s cash purse was Snowbomb’s largest sum to be awarded. The event was a “big air” format in which competitors hucked a custom-built step-down jump at the bottom of Alpine’s terrain park while performing some of the sports’ latest tricks. Local and regional pros and amateurs of all ages of men’s and women’s ski and snowboard classes were included. The event’s venue was the Kangaroo lift, adjacent to the base lodge. Each competitor received an hour of practice; competitors were scored on the best of two runs by official judges. Winners will be determined by amount of air achieved, style, trick difficulty, and, of course, whether or not the competitor sticks the trick! < less
