Passing the Time

Everyday after long hours of sledding and snowboarding it is always time to kick off the boots and try to relax a bit if possible. With so much time and energy wasted thinking about more shots some times you need to relax and go with it. Here is Scotty passing some time one sluggish morning in Smiley Creek Idaho with his harmonica.

Another day with the homies

I love being able to go out with a non stressing crew and start to enjoy the day. I love being able to ride in blower powder and chill with friends. Scott Stevens just does weird shit straight up, you never know what he is thinking when looking at a jump. Shayne Pospisil is all about getting white roomed in the perfect conditions. Trip is going awesome!!

This is how we did it

Every morning we would start off with a killer breakfast then gas up while loading up our guns and get ready for a solid day of rallying the snowmobiles, shredding and cracking jokes. Every day we would hope for bluebird skies and safe conditions. This trip was tons of fun even though there were at times 12 of us gathering around 1 jump. kinda crazy but we managed to get work done.

San Diego and the Tsunami Warning

So Cal is an awesome place to break up some time and enjoy some of the finer things in life like burritos, waves and good friends! I have to shout out a big thanks all of 1010 who went thru a recent divorce and relocation change. Encinitas is the new territory where my buddys now reside and where my couch got relocated to as well. To "Reg Bob" and his roommates from SurfRide thank you for the couch space, mini ramp and a cool environment! Eric and Wes you dudes are the shit, and Cole maybe schedule works out better next time!

Finally making it home

So the day I was leaving this was a very hectic day.. no bullshit! First off we had to be rowed back to the dock, load up the van and start the 20 miles drive to the airport. As you get within 5 miles of the airport everyone has to unload the car put everything through security, get the car bomb scanned and go through a medal detector. Reload the car after the bomb dogs had a field day with my equipment then continue to drive past 1,000s of machine guns pointed at you. Get ripped off flying my overweight bags then get escorted by dude with machine guns onto the plane. Off to New Delhi for 4 hours for dinner and back to another airport. Almost got arrested in New Delhi after security threw my laptop case with my hard-drives of the whole trip. Followed by a 16 hr flight to Chicago then a 5 hr layover followed by a 4 hr flight to reno then a 4 hr drive home due to traffic.. A long day for sure.. Damn it feels nice to be back in Tahoe for 4 days!!

This guy is Classic

So as I was being rowed around Dal Lake in Srinagar India, I saw this classic dude rowing himself around the lake while smoking a hookah. This was a first for me to see and probably for you to absorb also. This was shot on my last day of the trip before the 30 plus hours of traveling to get home.

Another Rad Military Guy

I had a conversation with this soldier and he was super chill. They did draw there guns when one of the guys was skateboarding. He almost got shot.
