I ride alone alot, which gives me a lot of time to think. For the last couple days, I've been thinking about what I see missing in snowboarding. The pure and simple joy of riding. I think back to last season and teaching my younger brother how to snowboard. There were a so many things that brought a smile to his face that each and every one of us takes for granted.

The first time walking out on a real ski hill, not just our backyard. He smiled.
The first time he made it to the top of the rope tow without falling. He smiled.
The first time he linked together a few turns before falling. He turned back to me, was smiling and said "Jake did you see that? I turned both ways"
The first blue run he make, top to bottom without falling. He completely forgot of the other 30 times that he'd fallen that day, and he was smiling.
The first time he got a little air of a roller on the trail. He turned back to me and asked "Jake, did I get off the ground that time?" When I said yes, he smiled.

It wasn't that long ago that you were just trying to stay up the entire tow rope. How about the next time you're out boarding, just smile because you're there.

Year-to-date snowboarding: 39 days, booya
Oh, and my season is on hold untill I get some new bindings. Thank you, you piece of shi*t f**king gaper, for runing into my board while I was working. It was only $200 in damage you caused.

	thats so true man. me and my friend were talkin about that alot on the lifts today, and we realized that we still ride the same way. its like, we just go out there and ride and it doesnt matter how many times we hit the same rails or how much bigger we go, it still puts that smile on us. Just goin out and riding and having the most fun you can is all you can do really. I was teaching my little brother to ride the last few years, its just crazy to think back when i was starting and how far ive come and everything ive done along the way. mindblowing stuff haha richie
