at stratton last year i was sliding the bus planning to come off switch, but i caught a nail and did a misty flip off, falling a great distance before landing on my arm and snapping my collar bone.

i'm still pissed that i busted my collar bone because now i have a slight paranoia of catching my edge on rails.                                                                                                                                                                    i think there was a little man hired by stratton inside the bus that would stick up a peg to wreck every third person who hit it, thus sending them to the clinic and making lots of cash.

the top of the bus was crowned, so your edges would cut into the plastic stuff and you would do a slow painful split until you were croch sliding it. then the screw came.

50-50s only make you look good on snowboards.....if a skier was seen 50-50ing a box....he would get made fun of to fuck, and everyone would think he was terrible

i hit a C shaped box rail last year and caught a patch of wood where the top layer was worn down and had a very ultra mega super hardcore yard sale...

thing is, i dont wear a helmet and on the way down i was like a pubic hair of taking my head clean off...

after that i didnt hit a rail for like a month...

over it now though...

Ya,  aboooouuut that...  those aren't coming out this year until I can re-build them from the frame up.  We replaced the lexan on those things 4 times.  oh,  and if anyone saw anyone hitting them with hammers or the such,  there was vandalism all year on those, people hammering big holes in the lexan with something.  let me know if you know anything.

and all resort policies are slide at your own risk.  I inspected that table 10 minutes before kutcher blew out his edge...  it was a total unfortunate incident that you couldn't see coming.  Oh,  and a boarder blew out his edge on the other table the last day of the season and came bitching to me about it.  The best part was telling him it was closed off in the morning for a reason because we couldn't fix it, and they took the ropes down anyway and rode it.  ha ha ha.  comedy...


anywho


carry on
