A Message from Arson Rider Ian Paone (Whistler BC)!

So Swollen Members came to town on November 11th (lest we forget) Swollen Members rolled into town and played a show with Bliss n’ Esso, one of the biggest Aussie hip-hop duos. Oh man what a show it was. Here’s a picture of just the crowd in this tiny club

Photo 1

Since Whistler is full of Aussies, Bliss n’ Esso were a huge hit and they got the entire bar jumping. I’ve only heard 1 of their songs before but I was getting right into it as well. They also do a cover of a really good Citizen Cope song “A Bullet and a Target.

Then Swollen took the stage, I dragged my broke and tired ass out of bed after skiing to go see them(I drove up to Kadenwood in whis to sesh the mini jib park that was built up there, no photos though sorry!) and oh man they didn’t disappoint . My first ever concert was these guys back in 2001 in Victoria but this show was 100x better. I was 2nd row, center stage and had a prime view of the show. Here’s some photos

So yea that was my Wednesday night. I may be a reggae kid now but I will always listen to Swollen Members. They’re music has always been a huge part of my life and my skiing. I have so much respect for these guys. Madchild is going through so much shit right now and he’s still going strong

If you get the chance, go see a Swollen Members show. It will change your perspective on live shows forever. Keep shredding. Peace.

I just came back from my euro trip two weeks ago and last days have been pretty hectic.

Trip was awesome, 7000km in a van down south to France, Spain and Portugal.

I had some surf every day 3ft to 7ft, only sun and a lot of fun.

I ended my journey with one of my best friends wedding, facing the ocean, in guethary, french Basque country. Best scenery ever!

Having a break is honnestly the best feeling and a nice way to fill up the battery with fresh energy.

As you can imagine, I have hundred of stories and anecdotes, travelling brings many surprises, far away from home, with different cultures, landscapes and paces.

Back in the game..

RIDER UPDATE FROM IAN PAONE

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let you know what happened to me this past season. I moved to Whistler and spent the year here. Worked on progressing my skiing and maturing my style. Here’s some photos from this past season.

My season was fun and I am super stoked on what I accomplished. Learned a ton of new tricks and matured my style significantly. Unfortunately, my season was injury filled with a knee, shoulder, and ankle injury sidelining me for about a month in total. Despite all the injuries I still managed to compete in the Telus Fest. Big Air, coming 28th out of 97.
My summer was very rough. I broke my thumb and had to get surgery which took a month out of my summer. Also, on July 28th I had to very unfortunately and sadly, say goodbye to my little brother Andrew

He was one month shy of turning 17. He inspired thousands of people with his Youtube Episodes of Japanese Anime. If you want to view his work please search for RestInPeaceRayms on Youtube.

I miss you so much Andrew. RIP, 27/08/92-28/07/09.

On a happier note, I recently bought a house in Whistler and plan on stay here for awhile. Here are some photos

Now I’m just waiting for the snow to fall so skiing can start again. It’s gonna be my year this year. Watch for me

Keep doing what you want in life,

Don’t let anyone tell you what to do.

Peace.

Ian Paone
