Summer Van-cation film surprise
The six foot radius around my desk is pretty messy most of the time, so when I found a used roll of film today it’s safe to say it could have been from anytime in the past five to six years. One, one-hour photo lab hour later and surprise! A few 35mm photos from Episode 4.1 Summer Van-cation.
Will and Cole and the so far optimistically open road.
These flats are salty, this van is stuck.

I thought winter was over?
And then it sorta was.

If you…
Search Youtube for “Hippy Killer” you get things like…
The Hippy Killer Hoedown. They look like a bunch of fun people.
This crazy guy with the name hippykillermuthrfckr who says things like, “So yeah that why I hate 90% of black people…. and the funny thing I only dated two white girls”
And then a bunch of kids doing Hippy Killers like…

The difference between me and you
Will and I have known each other for a while but we aren’t that alike. When it comes to skiing you can say we are like minded but when it comes to many other things differences arise. Here are some classic examples of “the difference between me and you“.

News from the Euro-road
For the last week Will, Shane and LJ have been touring Europe for the next episode with the LINE Euro crew. Here is a quick photo update while we have internet access, then its back to the road!
Warning: If you find yourself in the back of a mini-plane like this one, they are probably going to forget to tell you that ski-bags won’t fit.
Tracking down lost luggage in another language is fun! 
But, pizza always improves any gloomy situation.
The TC Van, euro style. (with same smells)

Wicked Euro menu faces
We got our ski bags just in time to catch the first storm of the trip. Chow!
No ACL no problem!
Tore my ACL!
Back in September I was working and jumped over a fence and tore my knee. I knew something was wrong but went ahead with IF3 and my plans to move to Utah.
When I got to Utah I set an appointment up with a doctor in PC and headed down to Arizona for a rail jam. I couldn’t ski but hung out and saw some great sites along the way!
Goblin Vally
Soon after my trip to Arizona I had to go under the knife and a week later started PT.
November was a long month full of video games, PT and then gym. Ian showed up near the end of the month for Thanksgiving but his big teeth ate all the food. Thanks Ian.
Right after Thanksgiving TC filmer Sean Mcfalls, and Erik Olson released the Yoke Collection.

Episode 4.3 Fall Into Winter Story!
Words and photos by The Red Knight
Besides the obvious anticipation for the first snowfall, the TC crew has been especially excited about the 2011-2012 season for the return of Garrett Russell. Garrett had been absent for all of last year’s episodes because of ACL surgery he had in October of 2010.
Garrett returns! Next episode: Spicy Cat returns!
Garrett preparing food in the van’s breakfast nook.
Typical TC parking lot breakfast session.
Unfortunately, in some sort of weird plot twist, Traveling Circus front man Andy Parry has switched places with Garrett on the disabled list this season, succumbing to the same terrible fate that sidelined Garrett last winter. Long story short: Andy blew his knee out this past fall, jumping over a fence. (See episode for details)
Andy’s hair sock: years of shaving only his upper leg for personal style, finally has a practical purpose.
Will and LJ taking a break from intense training at Snogression.
A rare moment of organization in the van. Kinda.
So Andy had surgery, we drove to Montana, slept in the base lodge. LJ ran a marathon, ate a spicy chicken sandwich, and went skiing – all in the same day.
LJ at an effortless 17 miles into the race.
After finishing a marathon LJ only ate half this orange slice and demanded McDonalds.
Ian came back to Utah for a bit, Thanksgiving was delicious, and we drove the van to Lake Tahoe to hang out with Garrett, twice. 5. Ian flew out to Utah for a few weeks.

…and training for an alternative career in futon skateboarding…
Utah’s fall colors really bring the best out in the van’s graphics.
And now, here’s episode 4.3 of Line Traveling Circus, Fall Into Winter…
