RONIX Leg

Got my new leg today wrapped in Ronix graphics!  The new pin system is night and day difference! So sick. Big Thanks to Ronix for hooking it up!

Salish Lodge

Got a weekend getaway at Salish Lodge Resort & Spa. Included was a beyond much needed massage. Body's gettin old, definitely feelin' it days after I go ride.  If you haven't been there I highly recommend it. Even if you just go for the day to check out the falls its still worth the drive up. Amazing views and good beer. Do it!

Officially Ski Season

The Mountains are finally starting to open!!!! yeaaah! Turned the living room into a tune shop and put the dog in her puffy the second I found out.  Got a few days in last week already and can't get enough of it. The wifey and I hit up Crystal last week and I got a chance to make the 3 hour trek up to Baker with my buddy Aaron. Gorgeous views and hot bowls of chilly. Doesnt get much better. Feelin' pretty sore the days after but definitely worth it.  This seasons off to a good start, make sure you pray to the snow gods to keep it coming! 

Blue Steel

Doing a little modeling action these days. Just signed w/ John Robert Powers and Sports + Lifestyle Unlimited.  Starting off as side work for now, and if it evolves into something more even better! If you know anyone that could use a good lookin' amputee to diversify their ads or  model some new threads let me know!

                                        

5th Annual Downtown Throwdown

2010 Downtown Throwdown Seattle, Washington 

Last weekend was Lib Techs 5th Annual Downtown Throwdown// Rail Jam event in Pioneer Square. With the crisp air and sighting of snow,  Its hard to wait for actual snow to start coming in. But for now I've been occupying my time with with stacks of ski flicks, premiers and events like these. Congrats to Ryan Paul for takin 1st place. See ya on the hill everyone.

Live Beyond Limits!

I recently became a rider/advocate for Adaptive Action Sports (AAS). These guys are awesome. Im beyond excited to see what kind of events we can do together. AAS was co-founded by rad chick Amy Purdy, a dual amputee that didn't let losing her legs slow her down. (it might have actually sped her up lol)  Her story is pretty incredible and if you've got a few extra minutes you should definitely go check out her site at www.amypurdy.com. Next summer AAS has appointed me wakeboard director and I see big possibilities with that. I'd love to set up clinics for younger kids that have some sort of "set back" and show them that anything is possible, to live life beyond limits. Too many things that I'm excited for. Its gonna be a good next few years! Looking forward to some time on the mountain this winter, Including a trip to Winter X-games and HOPEFULLY competing in the adaptive division. Snow can't come soon enough!!

NWR New Gear - Better than ever!

Made a trip over to the NWR headquarters last night to take a look and give my two cents, for the the new fall/winter collection. As always everything looks awesome and Its always a good time to catch up with Greg. I walk away every time hearing yet another one of his hilarious stories. I don't know how he comes across all of these rediculous adventures, but I get to benefit from hearing them and laughing my butt off - so keep 'em comin buddy! Those guys have been working hard and it definitely paid off.  Can't wait for everything to go into production so i can start rockin the new gear. Keep it up guys!

World's First Double Backflip on a Wheelchair

Check out my buddy Aaron "Wheelz" Fotherinham landing the worlds first wheelchair double back flip. I know it happened a while ago but this video never gets old to me. YEAH BUDDY!!

Banks Lake, Labor Day Weekend

I made our families annual trip to Banks Lake (Steamboat Rock) this past weekend. The weather was prefect and with my longboard in one hand and a cool drink in the other, I couldn't have asked for a better getaway. Theres something about having no cell phone service that helps bring your stresses of everyday life back to neutral. Already anticipating heading back next year.

There's no place like home

Made a quick trip down south to my stomping grounds for an early morning set. Nothing better than a calm sunny morning on Lake Tapps. The leg was feeling pretty sore afterwards but it was worth it 100%.  No pain no gain, right?
