https://youtu.be/2dTRI08ZAB8?si=Ma2tFiFM3XRMSBkA Mochi Yuki captures the essence of a different kind of Japan trip – one where we spent more time with locals at events and took the opportunity to connect in a more meaningful way. From riding with friends around Yotei, to moments of beauty and laughter captured by photographer/filmmaker, Matt Foley, this trip felt like one of those rare experiences you truly get to savour.

https://youtu.be/XvkqY5zZYSA?si=_ZFP7KooL1ARHn7N YFT 11 centers around a trip we did to Tahoe, California in February of 2024 with a colorful crew of friendly faces, visiting various resorts and spots around the Donner Pass area, and mostly commuting from an AirBNB way out in Portola, CA. The 1.5h drive each way between our homestay and the Donner area gave our California vacation a road trip vibe, while in reality we stayed up in one spot for most of the trip, with exception of a week in between filming to link up with friends and hit other areas around Lake Tahoe to run demo events and gatherings with the turning community. We often frequented Sugar Bowl resort – “Thanks to Janks!” – where we enjoyed ripping their groomers and taking advantage of the easy access to fun side-country terrain when powder was plentiful. The search for untouched powder and turns away from the crowds saw us exploring other areas of the Sierra’s by ways of the generous guidance of our mates Blake and Tucker and their crew of powder-hungry locals. Long story short, we had a blast turning in Tahoe, made great memories and met new friends, and at the end of the day those are the essential ingredients needed to make a Yearning For Turning film. Mix in the tunes, add in the creative talents of the folks behind the lens and editing bay, and there you have it: Vol. XI – Blitz & Donner. Enjoy!

https://youtu.be/OTa0pjTq4Os?si=1yJVCsZt8RTDAIpP A Vignette of Mikey February. Or 3000kms across South Africa in a Hilux with one working door. Oh Cape Town! The traditional begin and end spot for any South African adventure, the last stop in Africa before Antarctica and what a fabulous stop it is! Where to begin! Effortlessly stylish. The most glorious of settings. An Atlantic coast for swell and wind, and an Indian ocean to sedate it. The most friendly of locals, all the conveniences of a capital city with the greenery and situation of the Garden of Africa. Incredibly multicultural, with a plethora of people, food, drinks, art and all the good times that that brings. The beaches, the waterfront, the gardens, the mountain and the center. Penguins, whales, baboons. A very questionable bar called Van Hunks. Oh cape town how you have it all and me. In terms of Cities, I can’t think of a better one. It is here we meet Mikey Feb, a man who needs little introduction. The man over the past years who stole surfing’s collective heart. Equally stylish in and out of the water, M Feb as he is affectionately known has long been a friend of WT, and when the opportunity presented itself to spend some time in ZAF in celebration of Mikey and his new Vans capsule we were on the next flight. Now South African swell chases in season are quite the affair, namely because there are too many, a true plethora of options to choose from. Leaving Cape Town in the rain, which short circuited the car’s central locking and left us with one operational door (read, inconvenient) we roped in AVG, Alan Van Gysen to guide our adventure, pointed the nose towards J Bay and the rest, as they say is History! And 2 weeks later we’re back in Cape Town. What have we learnt? We’ve driven 3000 kms in a Hilux with one working door and returned it to the wrong airport, 16 hours away. We’ve learnt that honey badgers will chew off their own feet to escape bear traps and that wind forecasts will always shit themselves. We’ve learnt that Castle Lite is the best beer in the world and after 5 days of drinking them, they have screw tops. We’ve learnt that the techno scene in Cape Town is alive and well, and in a word, terrifying. We also learnt that Mikey Feb is a very nice bloke and quite good at surfing, and if you ever happen to be anywhere in Africa, AVG is your man and takes lovely photos. Thank you SA, we love you.

https://youtu.be/u5jiqX9GXCs?si=dIegEkdHo0i49vJV Few places on earth are as challenging – or rewarding – as the Arctic Circle. Nidecker riders Lewis Sonvico and Dave Crozier arrived in the far north during a rare peak in aurora activity, on a mission to explore the raw connection between the mountains and the sea. This is a landscape of fluid transitions, night blurring into day as pristine backcountry descents lead directly to empty lineups. Shot by renowned surf filmmaker Seth Hughes, their journey through the Lyngen Alps reminds us why we seek out these remote corners of the world, where every turn – whether on snow or water – connects us to something deeper.

https://youtu.be/lBd_hNa7P3Q?si=H6tka56uonUXUy_Q Brage Vestavik’s journey to the forefront of freeriding began at home, making features from construction materials scattered around his backyard. As the years passed, he took his budding passion into the nearby forests, mimicking the many films he’d watched over the years. The results are now legendary, earning Vestavik worldwide MTB filmmaking fame for his daring creativity, relentless work ethic, precision talent, and a raw and powerful riding style that’s uniquely his own. Even now, with a Red Bull contract and nearly 400,000 Instagram followers, his best days are spent back in those same woods, building, filming, and riding with friends. For Brage Vestavik, This is Home.

https://youtu.be/M5_Dcgewa1Q Stanley Donwood, alongside Thom Yorke, has designed the artwork for every single Radiohead album since The Bends. A wild seascape, a distant island, a full moon. Gradually the island grows nearer until we land on a primeval wilderness, rich in vegetation and huge, strange beasts. Time passes and things do not go well for the island. Civilization rises as towers of stone and metal and smoke, choking the undergrowth and the creatures who once moved through it. This is not a happy story and it will not have a happy ending. Working in his distinctive, monochromatic lino-cut style, Stanley Donwood carves out a mesmerizing, stark parable on environmentalism and the history of humankind.

https://youtu.be/is3CcVyinmM?si=0jvSFLDoRma1JZRd 'This Film was constructed from mostly my personal archival footage. Contributing camera operator credits go to; me, my kids, my wife, my friends, mates, pals, random peeps, extended family & calver film crew. The Film was backed by Film Australia, Dogwolf, Trasmission, Madman, a few Private Investors and obviously mostly by me “THE LISTERS” — considering I literally provided 92% of the entire content. HAVE YOU SEEN THE LISTER was edited by Director: Eddie Martin. For the few months that the Film was “in production” i told Eddie that I didn’t care what he wanted to make and for him to just do his thing. As a Filmmaker, Eddie is an artist in his own right. I consciously did not attempt to influence, direct or control the narrative or Eddie’s impression of me or my footage whatsoever. Personally, I would’ve made a different Film. Over the past 3 decades I have accumulated literally hundreds of hours of filming, so really, with that amount of footage, the Film could’ve been chopped up and pieced back together in any number of patterns to ultimately make whatever narrative Eddie wanted. This movie was released in 2017 and was picked up by Netflix where it was viewable until a few years ago. Typically, i was deceived by the producers re contracts, lawyers, managers, hypers etc yadda yadda etc. “THE LISTERS” did not make any $ from this Film...so, like… —you’re welcome— . This is a pretty emotionally driven movie. It’s more about my family life than my art practice (just to let you know). Like I said; I would’ve made a different Film. Either way, despite everyone involved getting paid except for me and my family, it’s an honest documentary to be fair.'

https://youtu.be/jUX-zUhZ6E0 Lucas, formerly known as the notorious street artist Hanksy, made a name for himself by reproducing pop culture figures into parodic public art memes. His most famous one involves Banksy’s signature rat stencil with Tom Hanks’ face emblazoned on its head. One of his more recent victims includes President Donald Trump in which the artwork portrays the iPhone’s poop emoji embellished with Trump’s face which he dubs Dump Trump. After nearly seven years of producing viral street art as Hanksy, Lucas wants to rebrand himself as an artist by using his real name. This pivotal transition in his career coincided with his first showing as Adam Lucas in an exhibit titled, “Some Grow Up, Others Grow Down.”
