The Road to AK

Just returned from my first to Alaska the other day. It was one of the best experiences I have had. The mountains and scenery there are so beautiful and so fun to board. It is really hard to swallow all at once, everywhere you look there are lines you have been dreaming about since you were a kid. I went on the month long journey with my friend Jeff Hawe, also a rad photographer. Here are some pics I took along the way. Enjoy!

Magpie's Bakery is the best! Hot coffee every morning and delicious baked goods. Also a fun spot to just kick it when it's cloudy...which is most of the time. Jeff Hawe Photo

Finland Rails


Matt Walker here, I wanted to update the Sessions crew on what the ski side of the family has been up to recently. Last week, Cam Riley, fellow Sessions rider Clayton Vila and I escaped the SIA/Extreme Games chaos and went to Helsinki Finland to hit rails with the Poorboyz crew. I know, its a little bit excessive to fly 1/3 of the way across the globe to hit handrails, but hey, they have REALLY good handrails, a grip of snow and the cops don't care. Look out for Finland footy in PoorBoyz's next movie.

Healthy ABC gas station breakfast

Yummmmm

The projects always have the jankiest quad kinks

Mad nice closeouts

Up next on my ticket is the Dew Tour Slopestyle Finals in Snowbasin, UT this weekend. Check out NBC for coverage!

Peace,
Matt
