 | Touring the Faroe Islands on Bike - Trailer
22. 07. 2016 17:47:16
Danny recently toured the Faroe Islands on a bike. Shooting footage of himself with a drone and other cameras was a lot of work. It's a testament to his vainglory that he did it at all. This teaser gives a glimpse of what's to come like a window dancer in Amsterdam. A real video will soon be forthco... |

30. 09. 2016 21:35:02
Blake and Danny run into the heart of the Uinta wilderness so Blake can do a gainer off a cliff into freezing cold water.

 | Blue John Canyon - Trailer
15. 10. 2016 00:56:12
Sometimes Blake and Aaron are unavailable so you grab the closest person and go shoot some footy for the boys in one of Utahs many slot canyons. Luckily the person you invite allows you to launch a drone from their hands because nowhere else will do. Here's a short, relaxing video. So break open the... |
 | Rappelling, Jumping, and Drowning in Eagle Creek Canyon
11. 11. 2016 21:52:25
Blake and Danny with the help of a very knowledgeable friend of a friend float, jump, slip and rappel down Eagle Creek canyon in Oregon. The group has to tolerate the cold and Danny's fear of any body of water not contained within a pool and kept at 85 degrees. At least there's nowhere more beautifu... |
 | Climbing Freedom Peak | daytrip ep1: Why We Wake Up
16. 02. 2017 19:57:45
We shoot lots of footy when we are out for the day. We've decided to turn this footage into a segment we are calling daytrip. Our other, longer episodes will just be called Mediocre Amateur. We climbed and skied freedom peak without dying which is always a bonus. Here's some of the footy and insight... |
 | Paddle Boarding Through the Ice of Utah Lake - daytrip ep2
23. 02. 2017 07:17:07
Not every day has to be a pain fest. Some days it's nice to get out to the lake and convince Blake to wade through the ice cold water to play it up for the camera on his paddle board. Unfortunately, he manages to avoid the fate of the titanic by skillfully dodging submerged chunks of ice.... |
 | Arches to the Max - Coyote Gulch
5. 03. 2017 16:39:30
How many arches is too many arches? On this day we walk through the Jacob Hamblin arch, Coyote Natural Bridge and appreciate the Stevens Arch from a distance. Also, with it being winter, we didn't see a soul on this usually crowded trail in Escalante National Monument.... |
 | The Hardest Part of an Adventure - daytrip ep3
9. 03. 2017 17:30:52
Science has proven that most experiences are improved when shared with another human. Are you going to argue with science? However, the science isn't settled on whether or not a robot can be used in place of a human. I do know one thing, I yell at my drone as if it were human. That must prove someth... |
 | Trying to Avoid 4,000 ft of Slurpee Skiing - daytrip ep4
18. 03. 2017 18:12:36
Early spring skiing can be rough. It's all a matter of timing. Try to ski too early in the day and you'll ski nothing but teeth chattering ice. Too late in the day and you'll ski 6 inches of mush that can bring to a rapid, unexpected halt. Timing is everything. ... |
 | Canyon, Canyon and More Canyon - The Chute of Muddy Creek
23. 03. 2017 16:57:54
My brothers let me tag along as they descend multiple canyons in Utah's San Rafael Swell. First we work our way down Music Canyon then enter the Chute of the Muddy River. If you love desert canyons then this is the video for you. If you love acrylic nail tutorials I suggest you go elsewhere. ... |
 | Pants On or Off - daytrip ep5
31. 03. 2017 17:21:08
The question 'Do I start with my pants on or off?' is a fairly common one in the spring when the mornings are cold but the afternoons are hot. Here in the west desert of Utah the brisk wind whipping off the desert floor makes it a hard question to answer. Blake likes to go sans pants because he enjo... |
 | Visibility Zero - Norway
23. 04. 2017 17:42:56
Going to a new place is like opening a Christmas present. Could be socks could be a gold plated Ferrari. On our first day in Tromso, Norway we got a really nice pair of socks. Beautiful scenery shrouded in clouds and rain. But we make the best of a moist situation and ski a nearby slope and pray to ... |
 | Someone Lost Some Skin - Norway
27. 04. 2017 22:55:22
First day of skiing in Lyngen, Norway and someone has lost a very important piece of gear. So we all sat around until they returned from their search for a replacement...Nah! we went and skied anyway because real friends abandon those who hold them back from realizing their dreams. And what a dream ... |
 | It's Only Right if Something Goes Wrong - Norway
4. 05. 2017 20:47:33
The end of the day held an unwanted surprise. Our second day of skiing in Lyngen, Norway had it all wind, more wind, cold, sun, clouds, great snow, some rocks, then at the end of the day we got our final surprise. It wouldn't be an adventure if everyday didn't have it's particular challenge. ... |
 | Lost Luggage, Broken Bike - Faroe Islands
13. 05. 2017 03:06:14
First day of my bike tour on the Faroe Islands and already things are falling apart. Hard to say whats worse not having a change of clothes, or having your pedal fall off after a couple minutes of riding. Anyway, the Faroe Island videos are long overdue. I'll slowly release them over the next little... |
 | The Death of Fat Blake - daytrip ep6
17. 05. 2017 21:41:26
Blake finally emerges from his marbled cocoon made from smothered burritos and cheeseburgers. The last couple weeks has been challenging as Blake huffed and puffed his way around the mountains. Has Fat Blake disappeared for the season? Lets hope so. I can't take anymore of his breaks and loud mouth ... |
 | What the Fog - Faroe Islands
26. 05. 2017 17:35:12
Day two on the Faroe Islands and I wake up greeted by rain and fog. The Faroe islands only have around 40,000 residents but they all seem to be driving, every day all day as fast as possible. I'm suddenly realizing that this bike tour might be less relaxing than previously thought. No shoulder, fast... |
 | Sliding Off Box Elder Peak - daytrip ep7
1. 06. 2017 21:43:12
You could take the trail back down but why would you when you could ride a small river of snow 1000's of feet to the trail. You'r knees will thank you and so will your body assuming you don't gain so much momentum you can't stop before flying off a cliff. Also, sometimes the snow doesn't carry you b... |
 | Mt. Timpanogos Ridgeline Traverse - daytrip ep8
21. 06. 2017 00:31:24
Here we have the Timp Traverse in all of its rocky, windswept glory. So. Much. Wind. Unless you love kite flying, or run a wind farm I can't think of any reason you would love the wind. It's like that an annoying high school acquaintance who constantly tried to push you over, take your hat off, and ... |
 | Cascade Ridge and the Lone Gunman - daytrip ep9
3. 07. 2017 06:53:58
Sometimes Blake cancels at 5:20am and leaves you alone in a gravel pit with a guy shooting a bolt action rifle at a rock. Here's a video of me traversing Cascade ridge to Cascade saddle via upper pole. Upper Pole is an easy way to summit Cascade if your into that kind of thing. If not, upper pole i... |
 | From Lyngen to Lofoten Ski's, Drone, and Cod Soup - Norway
11. 07. 2017 23:10:13
This installment is short on story but big on beautiful drone shots of the Lyngen alps and our first day in Lofoten. I've really enjoyed editing this footage while the outside temperature dances around 100 degrees. Hard to say which would be worse constant cold or eternal searing heat? Also, Chase s... |
 | Fastpacking the High Route and Dodging Storms - Wind Rivers
8. 08. 2017 17:16:34
Day one of our 82 mile fastpacking trip through the wind river range. Blake and Aaron have been obsessing over every single ounce, me, not so much. Which is probably why my pack was the heaviest. Not sure it would matter if we weren't trying to go 20-25 miles a day through the rough mountainous terr... |
 | Mountains for Miles and Nobody but Us - Wind Rivers
17. 08. 2017 16:19:50
We saw only one person in almost 30 miles of hiking and it's not hard to understand why. The wind rivers high route is mostly off trail with thousands of feet of climbing and this year it's covered in snow. I also learned a new word, suncups, and now it's a word that causes anger sweats. Suncups are... |
 | Miles 44-70 on the Highroute/Highline Trail - Wind Rivers
7. 09. 2017 17:03:49
Plans change and in our case they change often and quickly. In an effort to dodge the endless snow still lingering in the Wind River Range we seek the comfort of the Highline trail. Then we ruin the easy going by hiking late into the night and covering a distance we never planned on.... |
 | The Last 13 Miles - Wind Rivers
22. 09. 2017 19:38:27
The Wind Rivers Range Highroute/Highline trail conclusion. The last 13 miles may have been flat but they were still difficult. It's hard to go slow when all you can think about is a greasy meal and getting your retainers back in your mouth.... |
 | 35ish Miles and 18,000ft of Joy, Pain and Nettle - PURL
16. 10. 2017 23:23:43
Some things get stuck in your head, like Tina Turners What's Love Got to Do With It. The PURL was one of those things. I heard about it from Aaron and then two months later set out to do it. I couldn't help myself. I live in Utah Valley and that skyline called out to me everyday. I was actually havi... |

26. 02. 2018 00:55:49
Blake's emotions are all over the place during this 35 plus mile bike and hike extravaganza in Escalante National Monument Utah. On top of that Blake takes an unintentional swim, fully clothed, in some very cold water.... |
 | Blake Discovers Natural Arch Worthy of His Praise - Canyonlands National Park
13. 04. 2018 04:52:24
Here's something you don't often see. An episode of Mediocre where Blake doesn't complain. It's like watching an episode of Seinfeild where Kramer doesn't come flying through Jerry's door. It's weird. Everything went right on our 19 mile run through the Canyonlands Needles District and the episode s... |
 | Cliffed up on the Golden Canyon Badwater Ridge Traverse - Death Valley
27. 04. 2018 04:40:04
Do you have a hard time imagining what it would be like to wake up next to me? On Mediocre Amateur you get to wake up next to me almost every video and it can be rough! Death Valley is rough so you can imagine the morning after. In this Vid I hit some of the hot spots like Golden Canyon, Zabriske po... |

 | Taking the Mountaineers Route to the Highest Peak In the Lower 48 - Mount Whitney
5. 06. 2018 05:09:39
Blake doesn't let 20 hours of driving and explosive night time diarrhea stop him from summiting Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous united states. It's height may sometimes be disputed, but it's majestic beauty is not. In this video we take the mountaineers route up and the Whitney Portal tr... |
 | The little Brother of the WURL and PURL - Alpine Ridge Traverse
16. 06. 2018 17:04:37
At 24.5 miles with 14,000 ft of elevation gain and loss the Alpine Ridge Traverse is no WURL or PURL but that doesn't mean it's easy. The ART still contains lots of knee destroying ridge line and spirit crushing descents. It's still miserable enough to convince your friends not to join you during yo... |
 | Skiing in the Summer and Who Wants - Mount Jefferson
11. 07. 2018 17:17:02
Sorry for the spammy title I couldnt resist, but seriously theres a GoPro Hero 6 on Mount Jefferson that fell out of my waist belt and down Milk Glacier. It wasnt the only bad thing to happen on our trip to one of Oregons most extinct volcanoes. Christof and I were constantly reminded that things n... |

 | Summiting Montana's Highest Peak in One Day - Granite Peak
10. 08. 2018 17:18:11
Granite peak is the highest point in Montana. It's also considered by some to be the second most difficult state high point to summit after Denali. It definitely was challenging but it didn't take 25 hours like the stranger in the the parking lot told me it might. Still, with around 8,400 ft of elev... |
 | The Cable, Keyhole Lollypop - Longs Peak
7. 09. 2018 18:36:53
Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the most popular 14ners in Colorado. Supposedly the threat of lines to the summit and crowds on top is very real. But we got lucky. We climbed Longs via the keyhole, cable route lolly. We decided on this route last minute after speaking with some ... |
 | Sampling Nevada's Goods - Ruby Crest Trail
21. 09. 2018 17:55:45
Matt, Pax and I travel to Nevada's Ruby Crest Trail on Matt's whirlybird to check out a small section of its 35 miles. I can only imagine what the views would have been like if the mountain range hadn't been choking in smoke. Still, it was a beautiful place to test out my stomach after last weeks Pu... |
 | 22 Mile Run in the Idaho Wilderness - Sawtooth Lake Loop
4. 10. 2018 17:39:16
I got lucky. Not only did Matt avoided crashing the helicopter over the Sawtooths, but I somehow deleted my entire sequence on Premier Pro but only after exporting a rough final edit. So that's what you get is a nearly complete edit with a couple little things that will irritate me every time I watc... |
 | One Persons Nightmare is Another's Adventure - Alcatraz Slot Canyon
1. 11. 2018 19:51:10
Alcatraz is a slot canyon in the desert of southern Utah. This canyon could be considered Mother Natures way of hazing the uninitiated who wish to join the world of canyoneering. It is a physically brutal canyon that damages everything that dares enter its tight corridors. People get trapped in Alca... |
 | The Crown Jewel of Great Basin National Park - Wheeler Peak
14. 11. 2018 18:06:58
It's not the highest peak in Nevada but it still exceeded our expectations. In this episode Christof and I take a creative approach to the summit of Wheeler peak. It paid off with spectacular views and limited time in the often referenced 'jet stream' that pushes air at a high velocity over the trai... |
 | Battling Ice and Hypothermia - Iron Wash
30. 11. 2018 16:54:05
The second time we flew over this canyon on the way back from another adventure we decided we had to check it out. We marked it on the GPS and returned with wet suits. We thought maybe we were one of the first to attempt the canyon but an old piton and some webbing at the massive pot hole told us ot... |
 | Climbing and Skiing Washington's 2nd Highest Mountain - Mount Adams
13. 12. 2018 17:00:01
17 miles with 7,500ft of climbing and it was all worth it. Mount Adams in Washington is an amazing mountain thats even better when the weather cooperates.

 | 5229ft of Frustration, Pain, and Prominence - Ibapah Peak
10. 01. 2019 19:52:51
Ibapah peak is not a well known peak. It sits in an isolated mountain range called the Deep Creeks on the Utah, Nevada border. Blake has mentioned it from time to time so we decided to roll the dice and head out to ski this remote mountain top. It was a gamble and unfortunately for blake, It was a l... |

25. 01. 2019 16:46:50
We always have a list of adventures and objectives that are both unmanageably huge and bite sized.

This pocket sized adventure has been on... |
 | Skiing Red Rock in Southern Utah - Bryce Canyon
13. 03. 2019 15:00:06
Grow a mustache and put on your aviators, we're taking the chopper down south. In this episode we go skiing just south of Bryce Canyon National Park (skiing in the park is prohibited) in a dream like landscape. It's a video that almost didn't happen due to multiple technical problems but in the end ... |
