Over seven videos, JB Deuce featured snowboarders and skateboarders from Alaska, local kids who were passionate about getting clips and being part of the snow and skate community. Some would spend all season getting shots so they could have a full part, others would get one or two solid clips that went into the friends’ section. The idea was to include as many people in the video as possible because, at its core, it was a local video that uplifted its scene.
The first Crude podcast studio in Anchorage. Episodes were recorded at 6:30 p.m., after everyone got off work. How many easter eggs can you spot?

From Crude Issue 04 / Legacy. From 1989 to 2006, Boarderline Alaska nurtured the Alaska snow and skate scene. The Dimond Center location wasn't the first or the only location, but it was the most well-known. This shot was taken at the Dimond Center location, leading to the front doors of the mall.

From Crude Issue 04 / Slope Rich. Itinerant and seasonal workers of Alaska are known to binge. It's in their nature. For Slopers, 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off is typical. 6 weeks on, 2 weeks off if you're really looking to get monied up. And when they return to civilization, the money flows like crude down the pipeline.
You don't have to work on the North Slope to be Slope Rich though. It's a mentality that comes with the territory.
