holla, im sitting here wanting to go home so bad to ride with my boys and just had to write something because im so bored.  I miss riding and did not get out as much as i wanted to this year.  I rode hard and took every chance as a good opportunity to ride and just have fun.  At Searchmont resort they will be taking all available snow to go and snowboard in the terriain park to have that last as long as possible.  May 5th and 7th is the projected time to get it done.  Im jacked as i will have that one last opportunity to ride with my crew and keep it going for some last minute filming and season ending rituals.

My boy mike trudeau and joe seeber are videoing and editing sick videos that give you great vibes to go and ride and im jacked for htem as they all are progressing and having a blast.  SO just had to type something cuz im bored so ya, holla at me and keep me and real, was a decent season but not a lotof riding because the hill is so far away and no transportation,. I hope to ride some more and get more footage,

and to my boys, keep riding hard and film a lot, it makes me sad to see you guys riding but also happy to know my boys are killing it and keepin it real. Ride hard and be safe. BOOBS

*thud*thud*  Is this thing on?

I think it's been a zillion years since I've logged into my account here...  it's changed !!!
The neighbourhood has grown a bit.  Now i need to look up barney and Nick they used to be snowboard.com fanatics. 

Here's a video form the latest up and comers (sp?) in the Searchmont/Sault area.  I'm pumped I got a few clips in it.  Shredders and their Crews come and go in cycles around this place, and these are guys making it happen theses days.

The Lumberjack Challenge

Snowboarding is awesome isn't it?

well im sitting here studying for my midterms and i have one week left, well techinically 5 days 20 hours and 40 minutes until i am home from school for my reading week where i will get the lovely opportunity to ride with my crew and actually snowboard with people instead of alone and my ipod.  i have been enjoying school and going to tremblant at least once every weekend and if im lucky i get to ride a little local hill during the week at night.

all i have to say is that im really excitied to be home and go do some handrailing and get some filming done which will make me quite happy and enjoy the pleasure of my friends.  the only down fall is that im only there for a week and i have 3 midterms this week which is stopping me from goin home earlier. boys i cant wait to ride and party

so far this year i only had the pleasure of riding in one contest which held 75 riders in my category and i took first place in the rail jam.  downfall with that is that i won a tremblant membership but i had already purchased one and used it months before and cannot claim it for next year and having a hard time selling it for a cheap price. im selling it for 100 bucks which i find really lame because ya, its worth 1000 for people my age but it is late in the season but i thought 250 was a good deal.  won a bunch of other stuff and happy with really winning and that it was a good time and fun by all.

in the past 2 weeks we went to a hill edelweiss and so far ive gone there, the people i have been riding with have got hurt and went to the hospital with major / medium injuries.  2 people out of 2 times, i guess im just getting lucky.  after the powder party we had there i got drunk and then there was a naked race for a day pass at tremblant, but i went in it to win it for a friend so i dont have to ride alone, we are students and poor and that is what is holding them back from going really.

this all kind of random information and just keeping everyone posted on my life and how it is going but ya, im bored and trying to avoid studying but will begin shortly so ya, whateever, cant avoid it forever.  i did lose my cell phone at tremblant because i was so drunk and falling over and must of fell out of my pocket, but who cares, i bought a new 1 off ebay so 150 so im happy i got a deal at least. im really pissed up at cell phone companies b/c im on a plan and it should only be 1 year for me to upgrade my phone instead of freakin 2, thats stupid, shi*t happens within a year and they should offer some kind of insurance or w.e. if you lose your dam phone or lower the dam prices, like GOD!

but ya, im kind of tired of typing, but leave a msg and ill post another blog later to get people to knwo how my wonderful week at home went.

Hey Hey Hey! Snow is getting here or has been for some people but some of us are just getting the pleasure of this wonderful "White Stuff"!  Went and hit up Tremblant opening weekend and realized dam boy, this is expensive so i have to buy a tremblant membership that save me a bundle! SO i did and now just waiting for my next time to get out and ride!  Exams are here which is terrible and im studying and studying and studying and its lame because really i just want to go home and chill with my friends at home and relax and dont worry about anything but riding.  I miss my crazy party animal friends!

Been organizing a jibfest up in my hometown so when i get back we can go tear up some handrails and enjoy the last little wait until the home town hill opens up fully so i can ride for 6 days and then travel to Boyne, Michigan for New Years with Mike Trudeau and rock out there!  Just getting really focused on my riding and stepping up and holding nothing back, but at the same time, keep my wacky fun into it as well.  All about fun and if i take out the fun then i take out the reason i ride.  My friends have all been out jibbing on little homemade rails and having a blast and i feel so out of it as i cant go and do all the fun stuff they are because i dont know anyone who really hits up the park and streets like i do in Uni up in Ottawa yet.  Soon i will find some people and enjoy the times or just go bymyself on campus and hit that up.

My good friend i met in the winter, Maia is now in BC riding as she decided not to go back to searchmont to ride as BC is way better and to progress her career in the sport. She is awesome and totally killing it as she rides all year and follows the snow to New Zealand and Canada!  I miss her a bunch and cant wait to ride with her again and kill it!

Anywho, lets all have a safe and enjoyable season and get the tricks, style, and everything you plan on getting to improve yourself.  Keep it cool and rock out with your cock out!

Well, our season was officially over last Saturday at Ski Brule. I’m so proud of the progression that we accomplished this season. It has been truly the best one so far.

 

It’s time to hang the boots, drink some more beer while the rain passes away and look forward for the summer! Can’t wait to go Wakeboarding, Biking, Scuba Diving and Camping!

Wow, is amazing how busy can you get when you travel every wekend... I haven't been able to update my blog in a while.
So in a nutshell, the Searchmont Meet at Canada was a blast except for little things like Norbert breaking his arm and Carrie causing a mayor accident but jello shots, pole dancing, races down the mountain and random jokes though the weekend make that weekend one to remeber!



We flew into Cali on Saturday and drove from San José to Medford, Oregon. The view landscapes driving were amazing! Soo freakin cool, I want to move here! lol (I want to move everywhere!) If only I was millionaire to travel around the world without worrying about money...

Anyway, today we went to this national park called Crater Lake. It used to be a volcano but then collapsed and is now the deepest lake in the U.S. with 4,000 ft. of depth! What was amazing were the huge walls of snow along the highway. 30 ft tall!!! I regret that I didn't brought my snowboard to hike one of those mountains and take a golden run.


No problem, tomorrow we go to Lake Tahoe to ride Heavenly for 4 days straight. I have progression written in my mind and I'm going to kill it down there!

See ya!
