So I left early on Saturday to Cascade. I wasn't able to meet 2 of teh members that I was going to at Crahcade but I mostly rode with Julie (daisy95gt) and Jake (jblaski) on the park.
I got there early and rode the black diamonds for 2 hours. They are pretty cool but the grooming sucked because they didn't do it evenly so I couldn't do big carves without bumping into that flaw line.
Riding the half pipe with Julie and Jake was pretty cool. We did it over and over again and in a way the pushed me to get out there and try something new. Those freakin kids have no respect for droping into it and will go whenever the f*ck the want! I feel for Jake who has to deal with taht on a daily basis.

On Sunday we ended up going to a little hill called Navarino Slopes which was ok cause I was doing a couple of medium kickers and I even went and did this little rails that they had set up! It felt good! I'm looking foward to do more everytime I ride. That is until I break something lol (hope not...)

Well, I went to Norway yesterday and just 30 miles of Green Bay you could see snow on the ground and on the highway. When we got there they had 3 inches of fresh powder. We were the first ones to carve some lines on the black diamonds. We had a blast! Then I switch boards and hit the medium park for the rest of the day. I’m starting to feel more comfortable on the air but I still need to get that ollie off the lip of the kicker,. Practice, practice!

Yesterday I bought 2 snowboard videos. DC Mountain Lab and Future Proof. Unfortunately I couldn't watch them because I went with Jessica to drop Pachino (her cat) at his new home. We are aways ou all the time so she decided that it was better for him to be with more company. This lady that se give him to has two cats and one dog and is a widow so she is always there. She was pretty sad though, she really loved the fur ball.
Anyway, can't wait to get back on my board this weekend and I think watching those videos will pump me up to be ready!

So I finally got the time and willingness to update my blog. We had a great time in Vail and after the 9 straight days of riding and also riding resorts like Beaver creek, Breckenridge and Keystone I reaffirm my plan of really moving out there sometime.

Thank you to everybody that made this trip possible, Julián and Laura specially for letting us hang out with them one more time and spend the holidays with their family. And to the members of the website that I got to meet like Tom (Riderspro) and Jeff (vailsbestinstructor). I’m really sorry that I didn’t get to meet you Lauren (punkmouse)!… I hope I will sometime.

 

So it’s back to the Midwest weekend warrior routine. I still like it because I know that there are good and rad people to ride with here also. And we have better beer! Lol

 

See you guys out there!

 

Erik
