About Me

I am the guitarist and lead singer of Distant 2nd. A mix of NIN, Type O and Linkin Park. Go listen to understand. (myspace.com/distant2nd)

I ride on anything - ice, powder, park, pipe, dirt, midgets.

My riding style: 60% freeride 40% freestyle. Colorado ruined me to the east coast!

I am bored with jibbing, and think its overdone at most resorts. More wallrides and variable sized jumps please!

My stance: +21 front, -12 back

Mountains I've rode at thus far:
Mountain Creek (home)
Stratton
Killington
Liberty
Windham
Hidden Valley
Blue Mountain (PA)
Sno Mountain
Bear Creek
Breckenridge
Keystone
Lady Jane (part of Winter Park)
Copper

Preferred resorts:
West- Copper
Northeast - Stratton
Local - Blue Mountain (PA)

Odd note: I rode my "beginner" board for 7 years, I still own this board and it is still ride-able. At 167cm, I use it for powder days and glades.

Snowboard related injuries: To date, I have separated my right shoulder, and dislocated my left elbow.

Miracle story: My first time in the glades at Stratton, I thought you were supposed to move fast through the glades, not cruise. Went too fast, speed checked, put my forehead right into a tree. I only knew I was alive because I could hear my friends laughing at me. My helmet saved my life. Giro makes solid helmets.

Life before snowboards: I learned to ski when I was 4 years old, did it for about 10 years. Picked up snowboarding about 9 years later, have not had a desire to pick up skis ever since.

Snowboarding life: On average, I get between 25-35 days of snowboarding in per season. It would be more if the season lasted longer or if I didn't have to work. Anyone out there want to pay all my bills for me so I can ride more often?

Words of Wisdom

Sh*t, if this is gonna be that kind of party, I'm gonna stick my d*ck in the mashed potatoes!

Exercise the 5th amendment - shut the f*ck up.

My Journal: Friday, September 19, 2008

Seems I hadnt updated since like march. My trip to Colorado was SIIICK. I never did so much glade riding in my life. Crazy stuff. All the mountains had something to offer, though I think I enjoyed Copper the most. We were up on an ice bridge at the top of a mountain, and we took some off the beaten path/possibly out of bounds trail down. Lost my friend along the way, totally untracked stuff, not even snowmobile tracks around. I thought I was gonna end up popping out on the highway. I truly was alone, riding through glades and jumping over small creeks, lost in the wilderness, so I thought. BEst riding experience ever.

I did learn something about me though. I found that I truly am more of a freerider than a freestyle person. I only do freestyle at Creek because that's ALL there is to do, and I don't even do that too often, due to icy conditions/crappy landings.

Anyhow, the new season approaches and I pretty much have all new gear from last season, though I'm probably going to swap out my freestyle deck with something stiffer, like a Skunk Ape or the such.

	I'll get back to you by next week sometime. I might try to bribe someone to work my shift. Man i'd love to come. Can't wait to ride. Did you check out my new ride in my photos?

	What's up Randy. Just wanted to get back to you about colorado. Looks like i'm not going to be able to make it. Like I told you before, i'm taking off christmas to go home to visit family. When I requested newyears week off, my boss told me I would have to find someone to replace my shift. I asked everyone. No one wants the shift. I have a couple people that haven't gotten back to me yet. But it's looking like i'm not going to be able to make it. BUMMER because i would really like to come. If for some reason this changes and someone wants to work for me, what is the absolute latest that i can let you know?

	I might be able to do Colorado after all--I'll keep you posted. I've been watching my stocks like a hawk the past few weeks, and one of them is at the highest it's been in 3 years. Right now, I still think it's a little early to tell, but if I cash them in right away, I'll have over $8 grand!
