Winter sports

A 160 page book of poetry and short stories relating mainly to snow life with some sk8, surf, bike and skydiving. Art and Photography express the visions of epic spirit. From the harsh realities of a skier's plight, to warm boarding adventures across Western Canada and inside the hip French corner of Switzerland - the contributors are searching for something very special. Throw about the urban dream for community balance parks, some common respect, and a healthy serve of adrenaline, and the reader journeys into the new world. The essence of nomadic existence and timeless organic living. Unmasking those who follow their hearts and who truly define what is real. This is not an ordinary read, it's a movement toward freedom. A somewhat indigenous song with one voice that speaks of noble honor - the pieces presented collectively bring together a story of the freerider. Simply for equal-standing and stoke. 'Poetry for the People' is bought to you by the Summit Heartcore. A motley bunch of global freeriders who are dedicated to expanding tribal balance strategies throughout modern culture. Something warm to inspire epic projects.

Peter Corney originally studied maintenance engineering and then became a pioneer snowboarder. After 30 years of following winters, working in all aspects or mountain resorts and contributing to magazines and advertising as a model, writer and photographer, he put together poetry for the people along with ten short journals. Peter shares his time between Melbourne and Falls Creek when he's not traveling. He has recently also published a ski legend's biography called Born to fly - Australian freestyle roots. He is pursuing interests in writing and publishing through his company - Epicscope. Justin Field has been shooting photo since high school as a skateboarder.
