my dad was going to get some mojo 90s but he found a better deal on the rossi b4s.
I'm going to persuade him to get a pair of twins eventually.

My dad has PEs because they cost him $170. It's kind of funny though because when I was 17, I wanted PEs. But, he wouldn't let me get them because they were called "Public Enemy." He send that wasn't the image I wanted to put forth. Ha. Anyway, a few months after that, he came home from a day of skiing with a pair PEs. He hid them in the closet so I wouldn't find them. But, I did. I got really mad. The next day, he bought me Fujatives, so all was okay.

I'm so glad my parents ski... and quite well too. They don't rock twins, but my mom tried a rail once and actually didn't eat it.

It's awesome to have my parents try to follow me down some of the lines i've done.

And it's all props to them that I ski, because they put me on them just as I could walk. and we've been skiing together since.

my mom rides those older blue 1080's, cuz the salesdude told her they were exactly like the all-mountain ski. she tried the butter-box at okemo once and biffed pretty hard, apparently.
