The 2008~09 season was incredible. We had a whole bunch of cool and unique guys and girls train with us this season and a lot of returning campers pushing their limits as well. Big backcountry jump days, deep powder runs, terrain park improvement, Core night park action, secret pillow fields, cornices, tree runs...you name it, we did it all. From novice riders sliding boxes and riding powder for the first time to seasoned returning campers grabbing their inverts, sticking larger cliffs and every level and experience in between.Good times, great memories, huge improvement and the end of the season video to prove it. From all of the staff and coaches - A huge “Thank You” to all of the great campers who allowed us to be a part of their winter season! It was an amazing season with all of you guys here and keep riding on.

My Blog: hmmmm
By: johngarringer


I think i lost my mind in the last few weeks, things are just difarent for me not sure how to explane. my whole life flipped upsidedown and in the end im ok with it. my bro joined the army, my girl left me for another guy, the price of smokes went way up, and i seem to be perpetuly broke (partly do to smokes going up). but im happier then ever at the moment and normaly i would be in one of those deperesd slumps but im not so wtf??? so i thnk i must have snaped somewhere along the line cuz i can not explane why the world just looks so good at the moment just cant explane it at all.

Hello friends,

Please mark off THURSDAY APRIL 9TH on your calendars, as you are all requested to get out of the office and join Malakye, KNOW?SHOW, Coors Light, SBC and IS Eyewear for a fun day of shredding at Grouse Mountain.

This is the day for you to band together with your co workers and come enjoy endless cups of coffee and bottomless boxes of Donuts, and shred some office boy (and girl, of course) sized obstacles. How does Quasi-Big Air sound? Those who came out last year remember the joy of the hippy jump. There will be "Brass Balls" awarded, "Blue Balls" called out, a "Scorpion King" Crowned, and success in your work will be measured pound by pound in the weigh off. Many other prize categories are up for grabs, and this year, we welcome you to help us out by giving us your ideas for categories and/or supply us with some used office furniture to build into the course.

Malakye just finished Office Booyz USA, click this link to get stoked.

You all know this event started right here in Vancouver, and though it looked like a good time at Bear, will definately be one not to miss in Vancouver.

To have an entry form for the Office Booyz contest sent to your office or to sponsor a prize category click here!

The season's have switched here this year; we had spring in the winter and now we're having winter in the spring. Man, it's total global weirding.... We had a gorgeous day on Saturday and all the campers loved the new park design. Sunday was a little soggy but that didn't slow anyone down and everyone really progressed their shred skills over the weekend. Thanks to all the coaches for their hard work and all of our killer sponsors for all the prizes!


Coaches Corner: Senor Brown, Cobra Commander and Captain Hatesalot.


Coach Myles getting all inverted.


Campers getting the bro assisted tow ins.

JumpCamp Exclusive:
Very rare photo of Coach Olaf Larsen skiing in a one piece suit. Even back when he was a two-planker wanker he had some serious style. Look at the outfits in this pick! Hahahaha.......  Actually they're not much different than the crazy outfits nowadays.


Hahahahaha........ man.


New JumpCamp whip! Yes folks, it's true. JumpCamp has gotten rid of the hoopty and picked up a nice new truck. Thanks to everyone at Brian McLean Chevrolet in Courtenay for everything. Go in and buy a vehicle and tell them JumpCamp sent you.

So next time you see me... holla like ya' know me!

Yummies and Gyros rule! Go get yourself a delicious gyro or donair next time you're in Courtenay. Maybe you'll be lucky and the gals will be sporting their beach wear. Thanks to Katherine and the crew for hooking us up.

A touch, A sight, A smell.. However small can often times trigger an explosive memory..
 
After dance class last night I went out to this bar with a couple of the students.. I don't drink so basically I was there as a DD if one was going to be needed.. Plus I was craving a bit of fun.. 
 
There was some dancing.. Lots of gossip.. Lots of laughter.. Fast forward a bit...
 
I was at the bar waiting for a couple of drinks to bring back as the girls hunted up a table.. I was doing my usual feel the music vibe as I scanned around the crowd.. This guy catches my attention farther down the bar..  As my eyes hit his he holds my look and gives me a smile.. I was about to smile back (as that's my sunny nature) when he pulls on his lip with his teeth and licks it as his eyes drift to my mouth.. Then he looks down at his beer knowing he's been caught staring and day dreaming.. 
 
Instantly my mind conjured up the one guy I loved with all my heart.. One of the few guys that knew how I liked to be kissed.. Hard and rough with a bit of bite.. HOLY WOW!  The memory was so vivid I could almost feel his bite..
 
Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it..
 
So I basked a minute in my memories.. Then I walked over to my friends who'd made it to a table..
 
I'm not on the market..

Just came back from Laax and it was a very cool place to be, i always go to Saas Fee or Crans Montana and Engelberg.
 
This time a friend of mine invited me over Berry Pfinnings told me to come over to Laax after the Burton Euro tour...and Before the NK snowboard comp....
 
That was a very good week, i came to across some very fine people.
The Crap bar was a nice change for all those apreski lovers..no hoempapa crap music, but nice people and good music for finalizing the day.
 
Just forgot one thing, if anyone reads this and knows a blond girl called Rachel from the area...tell her im looking for her..
 
In a few weeks time im gonna come back to Laax prolly half of februari, then march to pitztal autria and april to Saas Fee again......
 
Keep riding....and have fun

Hmmm the snow is pretty sweet but the parks never seem to be built till half way through the season on grouse mt. pretty lame, went up and there was only 3 small rails jibable. maybe this week will have something worth shreddin. 

when i get my charger back for my camera ill be shootin some vids and posting them up youtube stlye (although they will probably pull it for some stupid music copyright reason) hate that!

if anyone is still into riding/training this week ill be up on wednesday late afternoon evening. 

its weird i didnt know till now that they have these free girl nights for all 3 local mountain. what a gip...... thats gonna create crowds....(i hate crowds) hence the reason i dont ride on weekends. its like a spamathon the mountain.

hows the whistler riders doing? i still havent gotten out there yet.

so by this point ( if you made it this far ) your definitely sick of my blabbing so you should probably stop reading this and be riding (or recovering).

again if your down for a ride im at grouse every week. it might help if your a grouse rider (cheapest passes why not)

hope ya'll having a sweet season so far. definitely the best christmas present this year is the sweet snow. you really know its good when the busses dont run up the hill. 

thats why we drive lol.
peace

Ok, I'm hoping you guys can help me here. I need to buy this snowboard for my son. It's a jib snowboard and according to his dad it has this little 3" x 5" peel off sticker and underneath is a picture of a naked girl. NO! it's not the new Burton boards. Is it by Rome? What the hell is the name of this board?????? Of course his dad can't remember so I'm hoping you guys can save me from this torture of ignorance! Peace.

Just watched this movie past weekend, and now our teacher is making us watch it. On 10 this movie deserves a 5 or 6. The only parts that were funny were, either in the previews or not worth the 4$. It was just too silly, there was no plot and too much swearing, I'm not a guy who doesn't swear but adding the Syllable 'f*ck' to any word DOES NOT MAKE IT FUNNY. Movie got too serious at the end too.
I'd rather work in class than watch this movie again. Oh well, at least I get to screw around before the bell, and since we're watching a movie everything changed place so I just keep dragging a girl on a chair around class.

Through life you live and you learn. Whether its with your job, hoddy, or personal life. Something recently though has been bothering me and I can't let it go. 

I dated a wonderful girl for about 7 years. We cut to our different directions the 3rd quarter of 2007, and talked almost daily up until Thanksgiving 2008, when contact has been pretty much zero. I still consider her a friend, but it is tough for me to know what she's doing.  I do want to best for her, but I've realized that it's better for me to leave it all behind and pretty much "forget" about her and all the good time's we've had. I hate to do this, but it has to be done so I can move on with my life. It gets tough though, especially when her brother and dad are some of my best friends.

Another thing though that bothers me is what I've missed out on. Me and the ex broke up for about 6 months in 2005. During that time I dated and towards the end of the year started to fall for another woman(we'll call her M). My ex doesn't know this, but we were on our way to a fairly serious relationship. M was phenominal, thats all that needs to be said. At the very end of 2005, me and my new date ran across my ex. Well, long story short, my ex came back and wanted to get together. I had a tough decision, and made it to familiar territory. I lost contact with M, and the last I heard, she was in Africa doing some sort of mission work. I sit here now wondering what it would've been like if the decision would've went the other way. I do know, I probably wouldn't have moved to Durango and had all those good times, but I wouldn't have been hurt twice by the same woman. I wonder quite a bit, if the last couple years was a waste of time. If there is such thing as a parellel universe, I'm jealous of the one in that universe from that moment. He's got something special, and I'm sure he's a lot happier.

Moral of the story, take care of you and make decisions for yourself (especially if your single). When you get feelings involved, your judgement becomes clouded and you may not make the best choices.

Ok, so here is what I don't understand. I don't understand how things can be going great, and then suddenly everything can crash down all around you. How do things go from being blissfully peacefully to drama filled and horrible. I've never been so frustrated with how things turn out more.
Recently I've started running to help deal with all the crap in my life. I have never ran more.... This week alone (Monday to now) I have ran almost 5 miles. Last week I ran just over 5. I have never ever had the desire to run until now. I literally use running as a type of therapy. Yesterday I went running for 2.4 miles, and literally felt like I was going to hurt myself because I was pushing myself harder than I have ever before. I guess this "therapy" isn't bad for my snowboarding because it's building up my leg muscles, but some how I just don't think it's healthy to use one thing so faithfully as a release. It's almost as if running has become a drug to me. I think I need to cut back a bit. Then again, if I cut back on the one thing keeping me sane, other things may happen that are not so good.
OH and not to make you all think I'm some emo, depressed, psycho girl. I'm really not, times are just tough. I had one guy I was really really close to tell me that we couldn't be friends because he started seeing someone. Then I had my mother decide she was going to turn into a psycho control freak, and basically restrict all of my freedoms. Then I was stupid and used a pickup line on a guy I liked, and that back fired and now he's avoiding me. Oh and I can't forget all the drama with my friends continuously ditching me, and giving me crap about my decisions on where I'd like to go to college. It's just not really happy times for me right now. I mean I'll live and get through it all, it just won't be a barrel of monkeys like I would prefer.

OK so heres the thing, YES I'm Girl but you know what I'm lookin for guy riders cause any girl that ive ridden with sux and cant keep up I even had a  guy
buddy that wouldnt do do parks with me or black runs on fresh powed days.

Ive seen lots of regulars at the quicksliver park so if your one of them let me know, im always hiking the park.

Just  to let you boys know im super easy to get along with and got one of those crazy outgoing personalities that lots of girls dont have  (not trying to knock anyone just saying i hate drama queens). Im always the chick that goes out with guys on a guys night out type a thing ( i dont know how it ends up that way, being a tomboy or somethin i guess)

Aight seeing that this year is starting off slow (hasnt even started yet) Im gettin real frustrated and POed. If Grouse would just open Id been shredding it till rock bottom.

Id love to upload pics for you all but the upload mobile here dont work at all so i cant even post up mugshots.

for now facebook will have to do


 Im hooking up with different rider this year. Really into gettin some good quality footage , both photo  and video ( I actually have a proper video camera) I have some Creative works  im planning and  will post them on Youtube when there done.

As much as id love to take it up to whistler i cant afford it. so local mountains  will have to do.

im out in burnaby so if your a local rider lets jam.

My end note here is this. Im all about the love and progression of the sport. No dissin or commercial, or selfish shi*t! keep the Positive Energy, Ride till it hurts and then turn it up anothernotch cuz thats what makes it worth it.

Jess (J girl)
