Looney Bin and a General Update

There you were, thinking that the moGNARchy was dead. That we had all grown up and gone off to college to become studious young individuals with sparkling reputations and bright futures, leaving our past as hooligan ski bums aside. You couldn't be more wrong. Although not currently reunited, the spirit of moGNARchy lives on inside each one of us.

Howa's currently living at the University of Sioux Falls in South Dakota, pursuing his lifelong dream of becoming a baseball megahero.

Mac's down at the University of Sucking Dick (San Diego). I think this picture pretty much explains it.

Hunter's refining his ability to make ladies faint at the sight of him over at Westminster.

 

 

And Hank, Mike, Adam, and I (Andy) are living the life of rage at the University of Utah where the beer flows like wine and beautiful women flock like the Salmon of Capistrano.

Which brings me to the second half of this update: Hank and I, along with our roommates Danny and Alex and a whole host of our new homies, have been working on a project that's going to blow your freaking mind. We're calling it the LOONEY BIN.

This motherfucker is like the moGNARchy on steroids. Rad ass skiing and snowboarding, ultrahesh skate seshing, thrashing at the Chapel of Rage and elsewhere, and all sorts of hood rat stuff with our friends. Here's our intro.






So as you can see, the moGNARchy is not dead, but it lives on in the heart of the Looney Bin. Think of the Looney Bin as the moGNARchy in it's horny, drunken, college years and you'll get the picture. Make sure to like us on Facebook here and check out our Vimeo channel here. I'll be sure keep you updated on our status here on the website and on moGNARchy's Facebook as well. Keep checking back, and don't for a minute start to think that the moGNARchy is dead. You never know what we might have up our sleeves for you. Stay in school kids.

Make It Count

Hey guys,
This is my entry to Element Skateboards' Make It Count contest series. It's a video contest restricted to one minute of footage that must all come from the same skatepark.  Naturally, I chose Draper and Andy helped me film some good stuff.  This was the edit that I made.

Sunday Zen

     Every sunday the crew heads up to the snowy peaks for a good day of zen. With all the required materials we have ourselves a little BBQ and without we just rawdog it. After snowbird received mother natures bukakke, we took advantage and rode her hard. It was such a warm day avalanche danger was pretty high, so they closed Little Cottonwood Canyon leaving us stranded up there until 7:30. With that said it was enjoyable watching the sheer power of the avalanches as they fell after being shot down by Snowbirds ski patrol crew.

I AM SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU

So begins our game of G.N.A.R. To familiarize your with the game of G.N.A.R you need to watch the movie G.N.A.R. The game of G.N.A.R was created by the pro skier Shane Mcconkey, who by the way shouldn't have ever been pro because I am so much better than him. G.N.A.R stands for Gaffney's Numerical Assessment of Radness. Originally the rules of  G.N.A.R  were spelled out in the book Squallywood, but since we do not own a copy and most importantly do not shred Squaw Valley our rules will be slightly different. First points will be awarded or deducted based on a group vote. Once a point value is agreed upon it cannot change and will be in effect for the entirety of the competition.

For more info on our game check out the page

Steez Words Round 1: Classics

Steez Words are about as old as the moGNARchy itself. Back in 2009, we would create or discover 2 new words every week, and attempt to use them as much as we could. We'll be posting at least 2 new Steez Words every week so that all you hold farts can keep up with the hip new lingo. You can check out our Steez Word dictionary in the navigation bar at the top of this page. To start things off, here's a collection of my personal favorites from the good old days. These are...the classic Steez Words:


Brobley: Noun-The area where the inner thigh meets the pelvis. On individuals with well shaped abdominals, you can trace the line of muscle definition from the top of the hips to the brobleys.


Biscuit: Noun-A firearm, more specifically, a handgun.

Bombskees: Adjective-Possessing or having extreme steez, awesomeness, and all around badassery.

Brick: Adjective-Cold or lacking in heat.

Dangerosity: Noun-The characteristic of being dangerous.

Gnosh: Verb-To eat with gusto.
           Noun-A meal which will be eaten with great enthusiasm.

Gooch: Noun-The perineum or taint. I'll let you look that one up yourself.
            Verb-To pull something off very narrowly or 'by the hair of a gnat's ass."

Goomba: Noun-Originally derived from the mushroom demons of the Mario Bros. franchise, the term 'goomba' refers to anybody who is lesser than you in a particular activity or is generally lacking in steez.

Ignant: Adjective-The ignorant way of saying 'ignorant.' When something has an excess of thugly steezitude, it's ignant.


Moomba: Noun-Similar in to the word 'goomba,' a 'moomba' is somebody who generally just fails at everything in life.

Neasty: Adjective-Disgusting or revolting, particularly when referring to a person.

Punani: Noun-The Holiest of Holeys. Whispering Eye so good, it's sacred.

Retardulous: Adjective-Something that is so ridiculous, it's straight retarded.

Scrilla: Noun-Money


Steez: Noun-Straight up easy flow and mad unique style. Confidence and skill expressed via actions and phrases that knock people back in awe an amazement. You either got it or you don't. Combination of the words 'style' and 'ease.'




Note: The parts of speech assigned to these words is by no means grammatically binding. At one point or another every one of these words has been used as an adjective, verb, noun, or exclamation.

Thumbs up life is good

"this guy"

        This month has been rough with Adam breaking some unknown bone in his hip. Then Andy decides he needs to break something to keep up with Adam and breaks his thumb. Later in the week Andy went into surgery, was heavily drugged, and later created one of the most vulgar but awesome edits mognarchy has yet to have.

Sometime while all that shenanigans was happening Hank paired up with good friend Sam Stratford to put together one of the funniest skits I've seen in a talent show.

Too Much moGNARchy

Wednesday, February 8th, the moGNARchy crew suffered yet another critical injury to one of its riders. For the second year in a row, I, Andy Moyle, have sustained a fracture serious enough to require surgical correction. It was stupid. I over-rotated a 3 a little bit on this tiny 15 footer and landed in the backseat, which caused me to put my hand out behind me. The pole I was holding pushed my thumb backwards and broke my first metacarpal right at the joint. At first I thought it was dislocated:




After (painfully) realizing that this wasn't some simple dislocation, I got it checked out by the doctor. They determined that simply throwing it in a cast wasn't going to fix anything. On Friday, February 10th, 1 year and 27 days after my collarbone had 8 screws drilled in it, 2 rods were inserted into my thumb to realign the bones at the joint. Although I've lost most the use of my right hand, I am currently instructing myself in left handed writing. By the time I have this cast removed, I will be bona fide ambidextrous. Hooray for learning new skills out of desperation!

F*ck moGNARchy

Fuck school. Fuck suspension. Fuck skiing and snowboarding.

New Years

Here's a fun edit Mac put together for your viewing pleasure. He edited this thing legitimately 3 weeks ago but the steez from Hank's afterbang caused it to take this long to render.

Entry, please:

SIP Sarah Burke

Utah's ski community suffered another terrible loss this morning with the news of Canadian halfpipe skier Sarah Burke's death at the University of Utah Hospital. Sarah had suffered a devastating crash on January 10th at the bottom of Park City's 22' Eagle Superpipe. According to her publicist, Sarah died of a lack of oxygen to the brain due to a severed vertebral artery she sustained during the crash. Sarah was a staple in the women's halfpipe community and an inspiration for female skiers everywhere. SIP Sarah, you will be sorely missed.

Bodily Harm Pt. III

Nighttime at PC

With the ending of an untimely school week, the crew loaded up and headed out to PC on Friday. After surviving numerous near-death collisions at the hands of Hank thechauffeur, seeing a splattered moose-beast, and making a few enemies; we finally arrived in one piece at the mountain.

Monster Energy and Ibuprofen coursed through our veins and quelled the Cliff-Bar feast that lied in our stomachs... the perfect fuel for some riding and, for me, filming. By the timewe were on our first chair, the sun had sunk below the mountains and the bad moon was rising.

The lighting was low, but it made for some pretty cool night shots.

And finally, the hands of a very cold filmer.

Adam's Bad Day

A park as bombskees as Three Kings requires regular blood sacrifices. Everyone who wishes to call themselves a local must in turn make their offering. Today, the Kings smiled upon Adam Schmidt and he honored them in the only way we know how: by metaphorically 'consuming excrement.' On the drive home from that fabled mountain, Adam noticed an unusually large protuberance on his weenis. Further examination revealed this little beauty:

Adam then noticed a throbbing sensation in his knee:

After removing his unitard, Adam beheld the most glorious sight yet seen in 2012; The Kings had blessed him with an extra kneecap.

I used to be a snowboarder like you. Then I took a rail in the knee.

Do not be horrified at these images. Everyone must make the sacrifice eventually. These are not injuries, but areas in which the Kings themselves have touched Adam and bestowed upon him their divine graces. Welcome to PC dude!
