sasquatch weather

Jackson has a quick interview on BMX UNION about his most recent Sasquatch Canyon video, Notes From the Field: Short Cuts.

“Kurt: How does Nathan Parker’s brand WEATHER come into play for this video?

Jackson: WEATHER is an apparel company that Nathan Parker conceived in 2011. We are interested in making durable, timeless things that will stand up to some abuse. It’s not explicitly a BMX company, we just all have our roots here. WEATHER is an effort to preserve and celebrate some of the same feelings we got when we first put a leg over a bike. A sense of wonder. While this isn’t a WEATHER project, almost every rider who is a part of that brand (officially and unofficially) has a small part in this video. In each of those parts there are some tiny inklings and hints of what a WEATHER project might look like.”

Fair Weather Gathering

In 9 days the Fair Weather Gathering will be taking place at Ramp Riders skatepark here in St.Louis. When I began to make more headway with Weather I knew the first thing I wanted to do was to bring people together to celebrate bike riding under The Weather flag. I hope to see you there September 21, 2013.

And the word was Weather

It depends on where you draw your line. Is the beginning here, at the creation of this, my first real website, rather than a Tumblr, rather than just in real life?

Maybe it was 30 years ago, back through my life, the thread of continuity, of what fires stayed lit, and grew with experiences, and knowledge, and time? Was it just two years ago when when a rolling wave of feelings and visions, broke the surface as a wave of ideas, and became a symbol and a word, Weather. Maybe it’s earlier, the beginnings of beginnings? 

It's something to think about, but probably not important, because, here we are anyway.

If you're here, close to the start of things you're likely a good friend, family member,or slightly adjacent. Whoever you are, however you made it here, thank you for coming. Also, to many of you, thanks for having been there.

Let’s see what’s next.I look forward to knowing who you are, and in time, as things unfold, sharing in some of your stories.

Cheers,

Nathan
