We don't get much snow here in Michigan and this years been especially rough, but wen we do have snow our glades are some of the best you can find, minus the length of the run.

here is the 10th webcast for the 2009/2010 season for Nub's Nob, we got a couple inches so I hit up the trees.

Photo shoot at Nub's Nob

On the 26th of January I was lucky enough to be a part of a Video/Photo shoot to aid in promotion for the park and pipe scene up at Nub's Nob.
Peep the video and keep and eye out for myslef (blue jacket yellow board) and fellow rev team rider Eric Coon (white pants, Blue jakcet).


A few photo's

We had a great time doing this, and all though the weather didnt cooperate we hope to do it a couple more times this season.
A big thanks to Jake Parish for flying in to michigan from park city and helping out with the video, Randy goss, Chris Leese, Laura Stebe, Jim Bartlett, Genesis Peters and everyone who rode in it!

feeling healthy

OK!
So, this season has been tough.
My body has really been limiting my riding, so much that for a couple days there i was just not even having fun snowboarding, which is not something i like.
But just about when i was ready to scream when no one was paying attention i magically feel better.
Yesterday i went to Nub's Nob with no other motives than to shred by myself or whomever may be around and just push myself to get back on my game.
Awesome sunny day, new features up in the park, So much fun!

Anyway,
here are some pics from recently.
