Catching Up with Sean McCormick

Nima's been stealing my thunder on this blog lately, doing interviews with Corey and Pierre. I'm a very jealous blogger. So I figured what better way to regain my thunder than through Team Thunder's front man Sean McCormick. Above is his image and below is his interview.

HEY SEAN.

Sean: Oh hi Lance.

HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING AWAY IN YOUR EDITING LAIR FOR A WHILE NOW?

Sean: Shit, I have only left my basement in the past week for a Taco break. A man has got to eat. But seriously, I've been here stressing out for quite some time now.

STRESSING, SOUNDS LIKE EVERY EDITOR ABOUT NOW. HOW IS THIS YEAR'S TEAM THUNDER SHAPING UP?

Sean: Well to tell you the truth, way better than I thought it was going to be. It is crazy going through and editing everybody's part, at first you don't know what to think, but i am loving watching it come together, other than the fact that my back hurts from sitting down.

I HEARD ALL THE REALLY GOOD EDITORS EDIT STANDING UP.

Sean: Ya that's why MDP's stuff is such high quality, Dawger is standing up all day editing, while I'm here just hangin in my lounge chair.

I HEARD THAT YOU GUYS ONLY HAVE ONE CAMERA? THAT'S GOTTA BE ROUGH.

Sean: Well.... yes and no. The two main filmers Adam Morales and myself do share a camera. But we got a lot of help from other filmers, such as Will King, and Joe Carlino got some good stuff of Harrison (Gordon) and Jarad (Hadi) so that helped a ton and than some others but ya. 2filmers1camera.com, that is just part of Team Thunder.

HARRISON? YOU MEAN BOARDIN' GORDON? WHAT OTHER ASHBURY PEOPLE CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE?

Sean: Boardin' Goardin is correct. You can expect to see Jordan Mendenhall, Eric Fernandez, Desiree Melancon, and I'm not sure if he is on Ashbury but I know he was sportin them all winter Cody Comrie aka Crappy.

CODY? I DON'T KNOW. IS HE EVEN ANY GOOD? NO, HE'S DEFINITELY ON.

Sean: Hmm... He tends to steal clothes and goggles a lot so you can never tell with him.

WHAT ABOUT THAT HAY BAILS VIDEO, THAT WAS SORT OF A HIT. DID YOU GUYS EXPECT IT TO GET THAT KIND OF RESPONSE?

Sean: Not at all, it was the shittiest day of the year, so we decided to go to the park and goof around, it ended up being so awesome though, I loved making that montage. I remember when I got done editing it and thinking about how much fun making movies is. By far the best way to start a good video.

OK, I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A PHOTO AND I WANT YOU TO REACT TO IT.


Sean: Oh my dear god. Thats the most fucked up thing I've seen.......... ever.

YEAH IT MAKES ME SICK. THAT IS A PITBULL WHO ATTACKED A PORCUPINE.

Sean: I can see that. That's not helping my editing concentration

WHO'S PART ARE YOU EDITING?

Sean: Well I jump around a lot. Right now I just finished Will's (Tuddenham) part, Blue World and Desiree's part. In the past hour that's what I've done.

BLUE WORLD?

Sean: Don't worry about it. Could be another hit.

PEOPLE LIKE HITS.

Sean: Who doesn't like a hit? Nobody.

WELL KIDS WHO ARE SUPER EDGY AND MISUNDERSTOOD TEND TO LIKE TO DISREGARD THE HITS.

Sean: Ya kinda like Harrison and Jarad, they are way edgy.

OK, ONE LAST QUESTION. FAVORITE SNOWBOARD VIDEO OF ALL TIME?

Sean: Ohhhh man, this is a tough question. Burning Bridges. Ya. Burning Bridges for sure. I don't want that to boost Shelby's ego if he reads this though.

Sean and Neil 'Nier' Dacosta

COOL, THANKS SEAN. I'M DEFINITELY SOLD ON GOLD COUNTRY. ANY LAST WORDS?

Sean: Thanks to you Lance, thanks to Ashbury for being so good to the Thunders and wish me luck on the video, she should be done tomorrow.

TOMORROW? BE SURE TO PUT ON SUN BLOCK BEFORE LEAVING THE HOUSE.

Sean: Thanks for caring.
