So I still have my lg chocolate 2, activated it on 9/30/2008, but yesterday while skiing I almost parted ways with it.
I went on a ski trip to blue mountain with the club here at school, but there was also a school wide bus trip there. So I told one of my friends I'd see him up there at some point. I called him from the bottom of the lift, and he said he was at the top. So I quickly stashed the phone and got on. I found him, and we went through the park. I hit a down tube, butter 3'd off the lip near some rails. Then I speed tested the jump line, failed at a butter 360 into a wallride, failed at another wallride, and did a butter 180 in 180 out on a corrugated tube jib.
About two hours later I realize the zipper pocket I keep my phone in is open, and that the phone is gone. I was pissed, cause it's like a running joke that I still have this phone. It's been through so much shit. I once spilled 1/2 a bottle of water on it, took all the parts out, let them try and put them back together. And it worked again. It's got a legacy behind it. But, I proceeded about the mountain with a strange confidence that I'd find it, probably some black magic or something.
After a few runs I decided that I probably lost it doing the first park run with my friend, assuming it probably fell out on the jump line, especially since I came up a bit short on the first. I scanned the jump line, the rail area and the wallrides and didn't see it.
So I went to the corrugated tube jib, the smallest feature. It's like a quarter pipe into the tube, and behind it is a small flat platform area then a slope into the woods. I slid up the side of the jib, stopped and looked around the platform the tube was on. Then I briefly surveyed the area behind it, not seeing the phone, I was about to leave, but then I saw a rectangle in the snow. At first I was like no way, that can't be it. I slid down the trench and as I got closer I saw the glow of the screen, it was frozen on the turn on screen. I was like fuuuuckkkkkk yesssssssss. It was night this whole time too.
TL;DR So I lost and found my phone a phone on a mountain, at night, and it survived two hours in the snow. I've had the phone forever and it's seen so much shit it should be broken, but it still works. The legacy continues.
