Sometimes the story we set out to tell and the story we end up with are two very different things.
I thought I was telling a story about hip hop and skiing. What we ended up with was much more.
Subconsciousness has a fascinating way of seeping into your creations, whether you intend it to or notā¦

ā¦and something specifically curated for you š¶šļø
More to come.
Perhaps the best part of my job is becoming friends with the people I have the opportunity to profile ā some of the most driven, curious, creative, and fearless dreamers out there.
@galacticbrown is all of that, plus a ton of heart. He loves BIG, which is what I appreciate about him the most. I wrote about Mal in a recent story for the @guardian , which is linked in my stories. Hope yāall take the time to give it a read. Photos from a recent day together on Broken Top.
@galacticbrown has shown that he can craft a ski movie like no other. His latest film, āLINES,ā ups the ante. A melting pot of skiing, philosophy and rap, the project is as beautiful and informative as any Duncanās yet created.
What can be found in the moments leading up to performance? The ties between skiing and other art forms arenāt abundantly evident on the surface, but a closer look reveals thereās always more to consider. Dive into the full movie at the LINK āļø in bio.

Among the madness thereās been joy and many milestones.

From becoming literally and figuratively an Unc, to witnessing the Uhuru Team grow and gain strength, to collaborating with supportive and kind creatives. Iām humbled and grateful to be on this path.
šØ MALLORY DUNCAN LINES AMA šØ In case you have been living under a rock, @galacticbrown just dropped his new video project, āLINESā.

Mallory Duncan is a force. We're proud he's on our team.
If you saw Mallory in his and @xanderfire film tour, Noise Ordinance, you know that he brings a unique and creative flow to his skiing, one that parallels the art he creates outside the sport as well. It's a glimpse into what makes the industry, at it's best, so special: space for creative freedom and expression, an opportunity to immerse a community in culture, and re-write narratives surrounding what a ski film - and the industry - can look like. Mallory is an example of an individual who's contributions to the sport continue to benefit it for all. We followed along for the Hood River, Oregon viewing of Noise Ordinance and can attest to the experience being a genius blend of music and motion art. A huge round of applause to all involved in this project.

Mallory and I crossed paths a few years ago. Both living our formative years nestled deep in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada, we quickly realized we shared a common love of skiing and a desire to create films that showcase the multidimensional influences that shaped us.
On this day, we rode sunkissed powder above Donner Lake steps away from where we both once lived.
Noise Ordinance! is an embodiment of the type of events we want to see in the world. Weāve collaborate closely to bring this experience to life. This arrangement features live scores, musical performances, and snow sports films that highlight powerful storytelling. Itās a tour you wonāt want to miss!
