Stories of last season

Today is a gloomy friday afternoon and is a perfect time to write this blog thats due later tonight. The topic for this one is stories from last season. Overall I'm calling it a success because I learned some new tricks, and did not break any bones. Most of the riding that I do is at a place called brandywine. Its usually overly crowded and has small runs. What it lacks in runs it makes up for in the parks though. Anyways it was a typical saturday and I went up with some friends as I always do. We were taking a few warm up runs down a easier run and just doing some basic butters. Then we go passed a skier and he makes a comment about a friends hat. This guy yells out "is that your sisters hat" because its purple. He's in his mid to upper 30's and acts like that. We all begin to talk trash to this guy and then he challenges us to fight him. Of course we just keep riding and as he keeps yelling a worker hears him and threatens to throw him out. Another good story from the past season is that a friend worked there and we would always ride by and mess with him. One day I was acting like he was being a jerk to me and didn't know his boss was behind him. He started to get yelled at so I just rode over and explaned the situation. Everyone thought it was funny including the boss.

Late Summer Jib Session

Hey back to the blogger for my second post. Today its going to be about a summer jibbing session. For those who don't know what jibbing is its a term used to say doing tricks usually on rails and things along those lines. A good friend and I have really been jonesin for some snowboarding so were going to set up some stuff. Probably going to use a long strip of carpet on a hill to slide on for speed and a flat rail to ride. Personally I can't wait for it. The only problem that we are running into is finding a place to set up at. This can be done just about anywhere with a hill. Some other objects we may use for jibbing will be some trash cans and maybe a friends hockey goal. This session will help me get a feel for my newest board I picked up late last winter. Its also going to help us get back into the feeling of riding and hitting some rails. Without great ideas like these I have no idea how we would be able to cure our snowboarding addiction. Anyways a little about the set up that i will be riding tomorrow and probably the rest of this season.. A 2010 burton hero ltd v rocker, Ruler boots, And burton custom yo bindings. This is a great park set up but for icy conditions or hard pack snow i have a burton mayhem wide. This board handles everything really well accept for the terrain park features. Well that's all for this entry.. Until the next time

First blog

This is the first blog of many to come. This blog is all about snowboarding. Some topics to come can be gear reviews, local ski resort info and even information about the pros. The inspiration for this blog topic came from a great amount of interest in snowboarding. It all started about 3 years ago when i first picked up the sport. I went a few times and learned the basics and then began to become more into it. Now all summer long i am just waiting for the heat to go away and for the snow to arrive. I'm really hoping that this winter will be a good one. I am not too sure on the predictions yet because I have not taken the time to look them up yet. Anyways I am quite happy that the summer months are coming to an end and cooler months of the season are on their way. Snowboarding is a great sport because its something you can have fun with, get some physical activity and just be creative with. Late summer and early fall are both big times for snowboarding. New gear is released for the up and coming winter and people start thinking and buying new set ups that they need. Well that's really all for this blog tonight due to a lack of things to write about. Anyways until next time which will be in around a week or so.
