Welcome to the Official Blog for Freestyle and Shark Watches.
Featuring mind benders, funny sh*t, amazing rides, crazy people, behind the scenes shenanigans and anything and everything that keeps the Freestyle office a buzz. We may not play the same sport or have the same passions, we may not have the same gender, religion or faith, we may not live in the same country, city, or state, but we all spend our days breathing, bleeding and sweating the same way. At the end of the day it's all about performance and together we are Freestyle, we are performance timing, and this is our blog.
We got to send a big thank you shout out to Snow Bunny for sending us this pic of ski master Bode Miller wearing the new Freestyle Nomad, shoots looks like he likes it! If you’re into the ski and snow scene we suggest you sign youself up for SkiSpace and get in the know. Afterall, winter is on its way!
Here’s an entertaining look behind the scenes of a recent photo session with Melissa Marquardt and her dog Clifford. We headed out to nail a shot for an Alliance Wakeboard ad and had blast. Clifford is a real fine pooch.
So I go 30 years never seeing a tarantula in Orange County to running into two in two weeks! And this one my friends is a monster. Compare this shot to the Tarantulas in the OC, part I. I reckon it’s about double the size. Now I’m no biologist, but it looks to me to be a different species? Any scientists out there that can let us know what we are dealing with here? Are these guys poisonous, deadly, or can I pick one up and take it home? I need a new pet.
Our resident hellman Anthony Walsh most recently tackled another challenge while on a trip to South Africa. This time it wasn’t giant surf, it was a giant Shark. We are happy to report his trusty Shark Watch made the dive with him and both are now safe on dry land. Like we’ve been saying, knock knock, who’s there? Just the baddest little watch on the planet!

Welcome to the Freestyle Wildlife Chronicles! While mountain biking El Moro Canyon in Laguna Beach we came across this fury monster of a spider. I took off my watch so you’d have a size reference. Imagine one of these creeping into your sleeping bag!
