Kawaptain’s log, star date 2013.6.
His mission : to embark on skiing’s frontier, using a secret weapon of nylon and strings in an attempt to ski the face and fly off the end.
The Mother Ship’s arms were open.
The North Face, cleared for take-off.
👐🏼✨
Bird, a multidimensional being, expanding thehorizon of skiing with the help of wings. Please feel free to visit our new blackmail, The Final Frontier, where exploration with skiing also takes to the air.Black Crows and Bird, it just makes sense that this partnership was made to fly, right!?

For the Love of Our Methow Valley,we put together this beautiful film sponsored by the North Cascades Conservation Council.We believe in compelling inclusive solutions for fire safety while respecting the ecological sensitivity of our forests.Our hope is to motivate you to get involved in stopping a proposed project that is in the process of changing the natural character of Our Backyards. Don’t worry peeps, its not only about the trees, our flick has some radical action within, and you might even recognize yourself river running or dancing a jig!

It is time to pay attention my friends, and remember why many of us live here in the first place. I just had a friend from down south tell me their community is up in arms as Forest Service projects impacted their natural landscapes, outdoor recreation and their connection with nature driving some to “sell the farm.”

Now is the time to make your voices heard!We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to shape the health of our forests for generations to come. The local Ranger District wants to reduce wildfire risk using old school profit-driven logging practices. What we need is innovative and holistic science-based ecological solutions that uphold nature as the bottom line. The 53,000 acre Twisp River Midnight “restoration” project / timber sale open for public comment until May 16.These projects are being fast tracked with very little public process and the quality of life in our precious valley is at stake.

Fortunately, the @methowcitizens has made a comment guide to follow, because unless you’ve been abreast of the project, have a forestry degree, it is nearly impossible to understand what the Forest Service has planned. Link In Bio

First, and foremost, please enjoy the heck out of our movie as we made it for all of you.
Remember, if it puts a smile on your face, or even makes you shed a tear, don’t hesitate to let us know with a kaw kaw comment, like, and share.The algorithm loves positive clicks, and as Don from K-Root always says, and we concur 110 %, We are all in it together!

new black doc, live now: we fly in the wake of the rare bird, this original crow has been skiing the chevron since the very beginning, in a unique and unbridled sensory flashback, from the chicken coop to the dance floor, discover the wild word of Michael "Bird" Shaffer @birdwhere (link in bio) As he says, “luck doesn’t do it, but a kawsmic connection does.”

kaw kaw bird and a big bravo to our crow brother, going fullwiingspan in black doc 17. Get some popcorn and check out the full film. Enjoy, and… it’s ok to shed a few tears.

The birds are out to play 🧈

⛷️: @birdwhere @alloinjulien
🎥: myself shot on @reddigitalcinema & @zeisscinematography
Project: in production, led by @lukejarmey & @lucaguidori

I’m stoked and feel privileged to serendipitously play a small part in this project. The up and coming Cham speedflyers, represented by @alloinjulien & @morgansm26 and spiritually guided by the bird himself - @birdwhere - is indescribable. It must be seen and felt.

After screening 2 weeks of footage, mainly drone and fpv shots of Julien and his friends absolutely ripping the north face of the midi, all I can say is “holy shit, this is absolutely nuts.” In the best possible sense. The world is a better place because of this community 🙂
