Broken bones @ Norway
Sunday, December 07, 2008
Well we went to ride @ Norway on Saturday. We were there about 15 minutes on our seconds run when One of my sons friends went down hard. The kid (Matt) already had a broken right hand. So we had to take him to the hospital. after being there six hours we finally knew for sure that he had broken his collar bone. I'll post up x-rays later. It's a pretty sick break, it broke completely in half. He was in a lot of pain. So needless to say we really didn't get to ride that day. O well there's always next weekend.

Norway 11/28/08
Saturday, November 29, 2008
   Rode at Norway on Friday. Once again is was just nice to be out riding. There was only 2 trails open, 3 if you count the mini t park. They didn't have the kickers set up on the mini t. That kinda sucked. So we made our own kicker on the Vali run. It was fun till ski patrol knocked it over. We got a 3 hour session out of it, so it wasn't that bad. Time trials were taking place on the other run so we only hit that once.
My kids are doing pretty damn good for it being early in the season. Nate is spinning front and back 3's. Collin has the back 3 down. I'm just getting grabs, o well.

Season opener
Wednesday, November 26, 2008
Went to SkiBrule on Saturday November 22. I was just happy to be riding. My new Agent ROCKS! Ski Brule on the other hand sucked. They didn't have as many runs open as advertised and conditions were not even close to even just being OK. I had some problems with skiers. I had one slam into me on purpose and another tell me to stay off of his run. lol Kinda hard to do when there is only 3 runs open on the front side of the hill. Just a bunch of ass hats. So if anybody wants to see their kids get beat down by 45 year old men in tight pants, send them to Brule. I think that was my last trip there ever, unless im in the mood for a fight. Family Hill my ass.

MWSF
Sunday, March 09, 2008
Rode at DH yesterday at the Midwest Snow Fest. It was a lot of fun. Was not crowded at all. I expected 10 million little kids cutting me off, but it wasn't like that at all. Just a fun relaxing event. It was great riding with new people. That was probably my last ride of the season. I'm gearing up for work and wake boarding now.

Nordic
Sunday, March 02, 2008
Rode at Nordic on Saturday 3/1. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be for a 10 dollar 12 hour day. Some kids ruined a couple of runs sliding down the hills all day. But most of the runs were good. Had a confrontation with 2 kids at least a third of my age. They decided to shut their mouths finally. One little kid, I'd say about 3 or  4 years old was hauled off in an amubulace, I felt bad for him. He was screaming in pain. I think he broke his leg. Overall it was a good day and a lot of fun. No injuries for me or anyone with me.
 
PS 2nd Ipod found this year. :) That makes 1 cellphone, 1 first gen Ipod nano, and 1 2nd gen Ipod nano.

DH
Sunday, February 24, 2008
Rode DH on Saturday. It was nice in the morning. In the afternoon it turned into a skating rink. My riding sucked in the afternoon. The ice didn't help matters any. I drank way too much the night before. The slight hangover didn't help either. Not my best day. O but I got my first grab. yea

Don't SkiBrule
Saturday, February 09, 2008
Jeez what a day. We used up our free tickets for Brule today.  The day started off looking pretty good. 1-2" of fresh powder and snowing on and off. The trails were realy slow. So we figured they would speed up when the powder got packed down a bit. It got faster alright. The only problem was once the powder was packed, it exposed all the ICE under it. There was patchy exposed ice is the worst possible spots. Injuries due from the ice: banged up left and right knee, left shoulder, and a believe I have a slight case of whiplash. I can't move my neck much. My son Nate broke his pinky finger. But it was OK cause he pulled his first 3 off a small jump. Bottom line was conditions were bad. They need more snow.
