509 Films N. Idaho / Montana shoot with Matt Potratz (And the Pencil Chute)

[03rmking]

Matt Potratz made the trek up for a 2 day shoot. Weather and vis didn't cooperate but Matt tore up the trees ala Burandt style with a few good pulls mixed in. Met up with Mini and the Troy Boyz for some deep March pow.

Big thanks to Steve for shooting all the still photos.

[03rmking]

Great pics......when's the DVD release?

Probably around August. HD and standard DVD will be available.

Never hear from him anymore. What's he been up to?

He's hard to track down. We actually cornered him with a group of over 30 Spokanite ditchbangers and the pencil chute was his only escape.

 

[Scott]

Soooo, the only way to escape the Spokane guys is to climb a hill?
