The RadXSports Crew

Producer - Gerry Pallor

Gerry Pallor brings old school style and discipline to the youthful world of extreme action sports. He’s fond of saying that he’s old enough to know better and young enough not to care.

A lifelong outdoors enthusiast, he was trained at New York University in the late 60s with such Holly wood legends as Martin Scorsese and Oliver Stone. Disdaining the slow paced world of feature filmmaking, he became involved in the portable video revolution and is still working at the bleeding edge of technological expression.

For the past 10 years Pallor has focused on individual sports. He’s produced specials and regularly scheduled shows for broadcast and cable networks plus training videos for professional athletics. In his spare time he created RadXSports, the definitive digital video magazine on ice coast action sports with a bit of west coast powder thrown in to show how it looks when the conditions are real.

Host - Tony Lanza

Tony Lanza got into the ski business because he wanted a free lift  ticket. Some twenty years later (who's counting?) he is the Superintendent of Belleayre Mountain, New York's Winter Snow park in the Catskill Mountains.

Before he became a ski bum Tony worked in advertising. This background carries over to his work on the mountain and in television where his showbiz sizzle and his love for the good life is evident in every one of his stand-ups. There is hardly a better spokesperson for winter sports.

Lanza is more than a pretty face and a colorful personality. He is a PSIA Certified Ski Instructor and a dedicated mountain manager and conservationist.  Belleayre is owned by New York State and is part of a nature preserve under the management of the Department of Environmental Conservation. As the person responsible for managing this park he had demonstrated how to run a successful ski resort without losing the feel for being out in nature.

Principal Videographer - Stephen Bell

Stephen Bell is a livelong photographer who began shooting video as soon as portable equipment became available back in the early 1970s.  He started skiing early in life and became a Nordic Ski Instructor at Minnewaska Resort in the New York's Shawangunk Mountains.

He regularly shoots sporting events major, specializing in running and tennis in addition to winter extreme sports.  He is a fixture at the finish line of New York City Marathon and can usually be seen hanging off the back of a motorcycle at most major road races.  He also produced training and motivational  videos for tennis officials for the USTA.  That's him with the video camera in the photo pit at the US Open.
