I feel like I have learned to be present or ‘now here’ in life through skiing’s teachings.”

* LIONEL MOERCH - JOURNAL: THE DIARY OF A SNOWBOARDER “The project was born after I found an old 2000’s handycam, which is in the center of the project. The idea was to use this quick and easy dadcam as a diary, to capture all those weird and beautiful anecdotes during street adventures, which are usually not that easy to catch when you set a huge camera on a tripod, focused on tricks. Of course it’s mixed with all the tricks cleanly filmed with a more ‘serious’ recent cam.”
