Stinker.

My dad decided to smoke some baby back ribs tonight for dinner.  As they were smoking, my dad comes in and tells me that I'm going to have my hands full tonight.  My sweet, sweet pup Elliott had found where the grease from the meat was dripping onto the ground.  He also managed to place himself directly under the grease drip to lick up what had hit the ground.  I don't know if you can tell from the pictures, but his head was drenched in stinky pig grease... 

 

Needless to say, he had a bath....and this is the normal aftermath of that.

One Last Shred.

Brighton closed on Sunday and a bunch of us went up for one last ride.  The conditions were horrible in the morning, dust on crust.  I can't believe that on closing day, it was snowing.  The sun broke out at the end of the day and the snow softened up.  It was such an amazing season, and I can't wait until next year. Here are some shots of the day.

The crew.  Lil Jake, Nate, Chuckles, Nat, Tony, Jason the Dyer, and Jeff.

Nate and his sick wall ride. 

Tony, Nat, Brett.

End of the day :(

And here's a video of me doing a 50/50 on a box.  Ignore the landing please :)

True Love

I couldn't think of a better way to start out this blog than by introducing my true love.  She, (yes she), has been with me through the winter, keeping me from getting those seasonal blues.  We have had amazing good times, and will continue to do so....at least for a few more weeks.  I will then put her to rest after a nice hot wax until December.  Here she is.... Gnu B-nice....

Snowboard of my dreams.  The edges have a new patented technology called MAGNETRACTION.  They are wavy, and grip in hard packed powder like you wouldn't believe.  Anyway, enough nerdy talk.  Here are some photos of my wonderful season....

Newbie

Well, I'm at a turning point in my life, so I figure I'll jump on this bandwagon and see where it takes me....
