3rd Rail

So I ended up growing a pair after all and entering in the 3rd Rail Jam. Took me all morning to talk myself into it, but I'm so glad I did! I didn't win, but I thought I did pretty damn good. I did more technical tricks than the girl that won, but she went for one of the advanced features at the bottom, and even though she fell, she still got a higher score because she went for it. I should have went for it and now I'm kicking myself in the ass for not trying it at least once.

I was so nervous that I wanted to throw up the whole morning. Once I got up there and did a couple practice runs the jitters went away though. I'm glad I've experienced the whole competition scene now, so next year I'll definitely do more of them! One thing I need to remember though - less speed checking! Ha.

I also really need to get a helmet! I didn't realize till after I registered that helmets were required, and I don't have one! Luckily, one of my friends let me borrow one. I guess I need to start wearing one anyways. Never know when it might save your life I suppose! I've got my eye on the RED Hi-Fi in Electric Blue. Now all I need to do is save up some cash and go get one!

If anybody wants to send me one of these, just ask for my address! haha.

Update.

Hello there...

I hope everyone has had as much fun shredding as I have the past few weeks. I've progressed fairly well on rails and smaller kickers and I can't wait for the 3rd Rail Jam to get here next weekend. I hope I don't wuss out because I've never done a competition before, and I'm a little nervous about entering. Anyways, bad news for my boyfriend... today he seperated his collar bone, so no riding for him for a while :( Poor guy, I know it will kill him not to be on a board for a couple weeks, but it's better to be safe than sorry by going out riding and re-injuring himself.

Happy Shredding!

XOXO

Peeps.

Wow... what a busy couple of weeks. I was gonna post my pow vid from the last post but I'm saving it for my end of season edit :) It's pretty sweet! A few girls from the Peepshow crew was in the area filming last week and I'm so super freakin pissed that I didn't get to see any of it! Those girls are pretty much my snowboard idols. Seriously. They rip. Here's a clip of them at App.

I Love Pow.

Yes once again I'm slacking on updating. Been so busy between work every day and other things that the internet is the last thing on my mind. I'll summarize today... which is also the most epic pow day of the season so far :)

Robin's Run and Southern Star was freakin awesome. Knee deep pow everywhere with the occasional waist deep drift. Got some super fun pow turns in today for sure. Got some pow footy but I'll wait till tomorrow night to edit cuz tomorrow will be another good pow day. Good pow doesn't happen often in NC so when it does happen, it's f'n epic.

Snow totals as of tonight was just over 2 feet and it's still flurrying a little. Supposed to get another epic snowstorm starting Monday. I love snow. I love pow. I love snowboarding.

Happy Shredding.

Ho Ho Ho!

Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm getting a white Christmas here. Hope everyone else is as well!

Mine has been pretty awesome so far. I have the best family, friends, and boyfriend a girl could ask for. I wanted to go home for Christmas but I'm still sick (boo for cold meds not working) and I don't wanna make everyone else sick, especially my dad because of his health problems, from me spreading my germs everywhere. So instead I will spend my Christmas day with my boyfriend and on the slopes (working, of course). It's snowing like crazy and it's actually not foggy for a change, so riding today should be pretty dang awesome.

I might even get a lil Christmas edit done if I can get my camera charged in time :)
