      Didnt go well because when we woke up we found it out was raining there. So we didnt go. I doubt theyhad snow because of the rain. They were just making snow for a very small patch of land in the parking lot.Sucky thing is, we all woke up and got tuned up, coffeed up, checked the weather at starbucks, thenwent back home.I'm gonna check the site to see if they did it. If it was rained out, it'll be next weekend probably. :)But 3 hours is a bit of a far drive on a chance, especially at louisville, ky, which is pretty boring.

            Stoke for the b/s 180 indy!see i wish we had hips at my resort. i saw a frontside 270 tail i think on youtube (ive seena bunch of tricks, it gets confusing haha) and it looked really clean. I think thats why i likethe small spin tricks, you can get so much out of them.

                  i like the kiddy parks, i know exactly what you're talking about. best place to try tricks that you have no ideawhat the outcome will be.another good place is to take it to the streets if you get decent snow fall. those parking blocks they leave inparking lots are a really good place to start too. they're usually waxed if you find ones without the pins thathold them into the concrete, but if not you can pack ice on the top of them. instant easy rail.speaking of street, thats a great place to learn jumps too. one of my friends i ride with is trying jumps forthe 1st time this season, and we're going to set her up jumping gutters. its a 4 ft gap at most and you donthave to build a landing ramp.

                      Id like to try for a level 1. I'll be in a a video part this winter and try out for level 3 after that, but im reallyjust excited about being part of a team.  I'll have trick footage after january ( we dont get snowfall untildecember 🙁 ) Im competing in 2 rail jams this year after february, i'd be proud to rep the site for real!If you want me to do the written test I'll be more than happy! How exciting, 1st app for a sponsorship!  😀

                        that'll keep kids off drugs. 1 look at that thing after a few too many -insertillegalsubstancehere- and you'll be puking for sure.seriously though, check out everyone else's line. ugly and confused seems to be the theme this year.which is really odd after last years ultra clean line.seriously im so glad i got new stuff in 08. i havent found anything i like this season from any manufacturer.only good thing about the ultra metro colorful theme of this year is when one of these guys riding thisstuff, when they fall you'll be able to see em even with the snow covering them.  😀

                            thanks, i hope it is going to rock. being almost dormant all summer long and hardly doing anythingreally let me save up a huge bank account for doing all of this.and the economy does suck, i know i should save it and stay home…but i gave up almost 6 monthsof my life to save for this winter. and i can use the footage as a project for school and my resumewhich i really need.josh, where are you riding at?

                                Im ready, me and my crew have our trips planned. We just have to fill in the dates and wait for the weather report.1st, we're going to warm up with the usual Indiana Paoli/Perfect North setup probably until the end of January.February brings our road trip Colorado to hit where ever we can find! bum around the state and hit as many resorts as possible.come home after the 2 weeks in 'rado to save relax and booze it up. We'll be sleeping in the SUV to save money haha.Then its off to Jackson Hole to get some insanity. Jackson Hole is heaven. Dont know why.March and April will be a few trips to a few cities like Chicago for street riding. But this could change to any time they geta huge dump of snow. Even Louisville Ky is an option due to the insane skatepark there.But to finish off the season with perfection, spring break at Whistler.(we're shooting a vid so w

                                  cant really tell by the pic. if its 3d it should be good, but if its almost all flat and a really slick form of plastic like polycarbit might cause more trouble than help. ive been wondering about that site too, it looks kinda…sketchy you know?rad pad though, looks alone id say its worth the $14. and its gotta be better than riding bare if you like stomps. :)oh yeah, if its not a shady site post a pic of the thing if you order it. i wanted one of the star ones in white that they dontseem to make anymore, but have been afraid to order from them. i have a bunch of star tattoos so it'd blend in nicely if i can get one.
