Vite C Skinpack and friends getting sunburnt at the 2014 Mashed Potato Meltdown. When you grow up in a mountain town you find creative ways to have fun during the season the rest of the world calls Spring, but which you know as all of the snow is melting so only a few more weeks to ski/snowboard, not quite warm enough for the lakes, not really sure what to do with myself anymore season. The best thing to do is round up your friends, put your heads together and go film something ridiculous. That's what these guys did.

Lifestyle- Swedish Photographer David Thornell is a good friend of our's here at ELEVATED. He runs StreetAddict, a store in Gothenburg, Sweden, and he has the luxury of traveling the world taking pictures and exploring his creative side. This post is dedicated to his work, which we're confident will show you a more in-depth look at America than you're used too. We all see it, day to day, but it takes an artist to capture images like these and present them in a consistent form of "lifestyle" that showcases certain side of life throughout the US. Read our interview with David below and then check out some of his captivating photography. [caption id="attachment_5824" align="alignnone" width="700"] Biggie Smalls[/caption]

Swedish Wakeboarder and Elevated Pro rider Christian Forssten just released his new wakeboarding edit today, and it is siiiiick!!
