When the snow falls here in the city, I often look out the window and think a couple things. First, I’m definitely not waking up to ride powder tomorrow ‘cause, well, I’m in Brooklyn. Second, I will soon get to watch some sort of new Tanner Pendleton web video. The dad just knows how to shoot and edit a quality display of snowboarding, and his passion for his craft shows. There’s more to it than just being able to press the buttons and pan. The inspiration has to come from somewhere and these lists contribute to the inner workings of the Pendleton brain functionality. These inspirations, combined with living in NYC, surrounded by constant stimulation, result in what you see in his productions. We all started hanging with Tanner a few years back when we landed in the same zone in Brooklyn, and we’ve consistently been trying to steal him away from the board world, but to no avail. As long as he’s producing this quality of work at the top of the game, I’m sure we’ll all keep watching. —Eddie Grams
