Diamondback Bicycle’s Mike Hopkins takes you on another adventure where the trails never end.

The rock band is composed of electromechanical instruments that make music with rocks by throwing them through the air, slapping them and making them vibrate. The song that they’re playing, Here Comes the Sun, is biographical, describing the daily experience of a rock sitting on the ground. The rock band is made up of the following members… Pinger – fires small rocks at aluminium keys using solenoids. Spinner – launches magnetic rocks, Hematite, at pieces of marble. Rocks are launched by spinning magnets using Applied Motion http://bit.ly/2mzT78I stepper motors. Slapper – slaps rocks with fake leather. Buzzer – vibrates the plunger of a solenoid against a piece of marble. The whole project is controlled by a computer running a MIDI player written in openFrameworks talking to a Teensy. The machines were designed using Autodesk Fusion 360 and Autodesk Inventor. Instructions on how to build your very own Pinger are here – http://bit.ly/2m7b4Q1 This project was created as part of Autodesk’s awesome artist in residence program – www.autodesk.com/air More projects at www.neilmendoza.com

Ishmael Butler of Shabazz Palaces and Seattle surf/punk rockers Tacocat, collaborated on some new music during a weekend of heightened creative expression. The historic and haunted Tokeland Hotel on the southwest coast of WA was transformed into a recording studio by music producer Erik Blood, and the musicians were free to get stoned and jam. The Goodship Company, a cannabis edibles brand, spearheaded the project and this short documentary reveals a behind-the-scenes look at the highest of artistic inspiration under the effects of legal marijuana.

In January 2017, the USA Men’s Rafting Team set their sights on making history by attempting to break a legendary speed record down 277 miles of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Their goal was 34 hours. 34 hours…straight. Throughout 2016, we sporadically followed these scrappy, determined guys on their quest…training hard, designing their custom boat, and gaining perspective on what it means to attempt something extraordinary on one of the world’s most breathtaking stages. The film is a collaboration with Forest Woodward and Brendan Leonard….and would not have been possible without their important contributions of images, words, guidance, energy, feedback, and Yelp-worthy restaurant knowledge. The film was supported by Chacos Footwear in association with REI + YETI + NRS + Jack’s Plastic Welding + Cataract Oars. edit + motion graphics + sound design // jordan ingram …*insert emoji praise hands here…actually, I guess I can do it…. 🙌…haha, thanks for following the bubble line through many rapids…into the witching hour and beyond. your patience + skill took this film to the next level. camera + audio // shawn tyler *thanks for the hustle + muddy magic timelapse // andrew geraci (district 7 media) *chaser of shadow stallions – thanks for everything. local footage + additional timelapse // robert prechtl *the mortar between the bricks. that vacuum/guitar shot was a tiny miracle. production assistance + additional audio // kyle king additional footage // harlan taney, jordan ingram, doug woodward additional audio mixing // dave swanson (legend studios) aerials // tommy + elizabeth wessel (above view images) permitting + consulting + river support // 4 corner films – Hualapai Tribe – Grand Canyon Resort Corporation – The Navajo Nation – BLM – Dept. of the Interior – National Parks Service – Utah Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands…oh yeah, and Officer D.

Four skaters head north to the cold Norwegian coast, applying their urban skills to a wild canvas of beach flotsam, frozen sand and pastel skies. The result is a beautiful mashup — biting winds and short days, ollies and one ephemeral miniramp.
