Great new song and video from the always creative Chad Vangaalen
Sloane Sapan’s only athletic background was a youth spent pursuing ballet. She began her training in Crossfit to get into shape. Before she knew it she was hooked and thus began a four year journey to compete in one of the world’s fastest growing sports. This is the story of her journey from pirouettes to power cleans.
I spent about a year making this. There’s blood, sweat, tears and heavy weights. I’d love it if you’d take a look.

The Men That Don’t Fit In
There’s a race of men that don’t fit in,
A race that can’t stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
And they roam the world at will.
They range the field and they rove the flood,
And they climb the mountain’s crest;
Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood,
And they don’t know how to rest.
If they just went straight they might go far;
They are strong and brave and true;
But they’re always tired of the things that are,
And they want the strange and new…

Wrenchin’ with Todd and his buddy on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Florida.
Palindrome in film form. Like a “racecar” this piece works forwards and backwards. Super clever and kind of meditative.
I found an old projector and some slides while cleaning.
