Treez and such †

Sorry if this is getting redundant... but, here are some more snowboarding photos! Haha, reality... I just don't have anything else to right about. My life is mostly school, and you don't really want to read about that. When it's not school, it's snowboarding. However, those of you who like snowboarding, or perhaps are simply intrigued by this crazy kid who keeps putting up pictures, will be happy.


"Snowboard Commute"


This is a shot of an AWESOME tree jam I found the other day. Its about 4 ft high and 10-15 ft long. There's a bunch of branches coming out of the top so you almost have to wall-ride it! BUT, the best part, is that it's 100% natural! There's always something about shredding things that weren't specifically set up for shredding. Not sure what the intrigue is, but it's just plain fun.

So as you can imagine, I had a good time on this log. And since it was too dark to video by the time we found it, we took flash photos.


(Thanks to my filmer and bro in Christ, LUKE "LuLu" MYERS for the awesome work!)

Extreme Sports, Extreme Photos, Its an EXTREME LIFE! †


Yo! This past Thursday I was snowboarding... (Like every other Thursday) BUT! This Thursday, I did something I've wanting to try for a long time. Frontflip misty flip!


We were filming in the park, when my friend Becca called me. While talking to her I joked about trying a frontflip. Afterwords, the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to try it! So I bombed it and BAMM went flippin! I didn't quite have enough air to get it all the way around so I landed on my butt / lower back... but almost, and at least now I can say I've tried it! Hopefully I'll land one before the season is out!

Here's some more photo's of snowboarding!


360

I heard some friends calling this pole jib a "man cannon" which sounds much cooler. (I thought) It lauches you out over a bank and is fun to do air tricks off it. Grabs are so fun, and I'm starting to get spins off it. So heres a some photos of the man cannon!



This "Hitching post" is up on a 5 ft. spine, with a very steep, short landing down the back side. This was my first time hitting it. I had WAY too much speed, so I cleared the rail by almost 2 ft. and cleared the end of the landing by about 8 ft! haha I landed flat from about 10 ft. up.. it was crazy, and the video is HILARIOUS, but the shot looks pretty steezy!

(thank you to my filmer and bro in Christ LUKE MYERS for the awesome work!)

Snow Camp 2010!!!

Sorry I haven't written in a while. Life has been CrAzY! (In a good sorta way)

Last weekend I went to snow camp at Circle C Ranch with my friend's youth group from PA. IT....WAS....AWESOME. Hanging out with all my best friends, as well as some pretty amazing new ones! Its a weekend camp from Friday night through Sunday afternoon. Doing everything from rollerskating, chapels, ultimate dodge ball, karaoke, and tubing competitions, to donut relay races and flinging cream filled donuts 100 feet down a road into a crowd of people using 3-man water balloon slingshots. Cream filled donuts flying through the air at 20 mph + kids head = amazing explosion! But the best part by far: 40-ish PEOPLE ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST!!! †

Snowboarding last night was gnarr! I finally figured out my balance and tucking my legs on spins so now threes are EASY and almost getting fives! My 270 fronside lipslides on the straightbox are easy now and I'm working on frontsiding the c-box. I want to learn front flips and misty flips so bad and see them hopefully happening by the end of this year. I'm just waiting for a good, powdery day to try them.
