Blotto is no doubt one of the snowboard worlds most well known and respected photographers. When POP hit up Blotto for a portfolio, needless to say he was more than happy to help out... 42 Alex Kutaysov & 48 Mike Dee Alex Kutaysov is from the easternmost part of Russia known as the Kamchatka Peninsula. Kamchatka lies on the southern tip of Siberia, above Japan. If that’s not an interesting story then I don’t know what is. Similarly, Mike Doleman (aka Mike Dee) has just as a unique background.

Sure, he likes to box, but that’s about it. Well that’s all well and good if you ignore the fact that’s he’s an amazing skateboarder. If he’s boring then I must be a billion playboy because we’re living in opposite land. And if you’re looking for someone to protect that opposite land then don’t count on Jamie Hawley.
