What a great weekend! Friday night I drove up to brighton for the snowboard premire. We didn’t stay to long. We decided to go over to AA to party. Once again, it was lame. So the next day we got up and drove back to brighton. We went to The Shop at 3:30. the midnight party sale didn’t start till 9pm. But at 4:00 do u know what got delivered a huge pile of snow in a dump truck. So we set up the snow, rail and the drop in and shredded all night. I got my first hit in on my 20’ rail. And we just had a really fun session.

The second session. I drove back to East Lansing for the Michigan Michigan State football game. I decided hell lets go for round two. So I strapped my rail to the back of my truck and took it up to EL with me. I got rob, john and jimmy to go for a jibbing session. We got loads of snow this time, almost 3 times as much as Paul and I had for the first session. Anyways the rail worked well, it slipped out every so often. It was a good session. I got my fs boardslide down. I was so glad I got that down. I really just want to get my bs lipslide down before the season really gets going. Its finally getting cold around here and its starting to smell like winter, bring on the snow!
(Strapping into my first board, havnt rode it in years, its so small and i love it.)
So I drove 15 min to go to the ice rink. I drove around back where they said the snow was going ot be in a pile for me, and to my surprise there was no snow (shitty). I went in side to ask where the snow is and the guy in there had no idea but what do u know the zamboni is just about to finish shaving the ice. So I got to do and empty the snow from the zamboni. I piled it all into the back of my truck. Raced the 15 mins back to Marysville. Most of the ice was still there by the time I got back. We set up the snow and the rail. I hit up the jib a couple time and the next thing you know the sheriff shows up. Of course were doing this right next to the court house and on the side of the sheriff parking lot. He drove up and asked us what was going on. I told him I was sick of waiting for the winter. And asked him if he wanted to join us. He said no and let us be. Didn’t think that was going to happen in a million years. Trew down a couple 5050s, board slides and a 5050 180 out. We continued to jib for another 15-20 minutes and called it quits.

The new codec H.264 is great so far im loving it. the only thing im not really liking are some of the sound effects esspecially for the trash and a couple for mail. all else put aside im very glad i picked up tiger. You can be expecting my videos in the new codec soon once i figure it out…
