Ski Journey

The 2007/2008 season was a strange and amazing time. It started in Guardsman at the bone zone riding all sorts of rails getting some tricks and having fun with buddies from Variety Pack. Once it started snowing in the city i was eager to get at it. So i did and ended up breaking my arm and getting in a cast for 8 weeks which was a big drag, and I don't really remember what I did during that time.. which might let you in on what i was really doing during that time. Anyhow once my arm healed up I had a new street team to ride with. Paco Garcia and Eric Strand (who are my two favorite Euro riders) came crashing in Salt Lake and on my couch, so we hit the streets and I showed them some Utah classics like cottonwood heights, rail gardens, the dimple dell rails, also we went out and found new things to get on. That was rad. Then they left and I lost my street team for the most part. But my buddy Mike White kept it real and we explored some of Ogden's back alleys and up to the cement buildings up Little cottonwood which we made a nice wallride out of. Once snow started melting in the city it was time to hit jumps at park city and rails in Brighton. All of that was fun until I tore the knee up and the rest is history I guess. So anyways Jeremiah Langston stuck with me most of the season filming our happenings. He just whipped up this edit to an Animal Collective song called Grass. It's does a good job showing how my ski year went.
