Colin Wilson

Colin Wilson is a ripping shredder! Yesterday at Troll I watched him do a handful of things I would have never come up with on my own and definitely would be hesitant to try. Tonight we were shooting some Monument photos in front of our monument, the state capital... nothing else to do, so why not? 

It's still warm enough out on the last hours of december to chill in a hoodie for hours at a time outside... brutal. I'm about to pack bags and head for waves.... can't stand this brown town any longer. But, tomorrow is Cash for Kids!! Academy's comp at Hyland Hills. Jonas and Jordan Michilot will be there tossing a few dollars at awesome tricks landed. Come enjoy the last day of the year with us!! 

thanks for checkin in.

Some more Wild fun.

Hmmmm.... Well, hope you all had an awesome Christmas and are looking forward to an amazing new year! With that.. I really would be stoked if the new year brought us some fresh snow.  : /

Instead of the usual handrail sessions that are happening this time of year, we have been resort riding day after day after day. I guess It's not at all that bad when you look at it as a hobby or a sport, but if it's your 'job' it's leaving us hurting this year. 

To not let it get us down to badly I grabbed a bunch of 32 promo and Austin Young, Krister Ralles, Dave Parker and myself did a lil jib fest for stickers and Ammo copies. It was fun stoking the kids out and tossing in some extra christmas cheer. :) 

Digger of the day!!! Can't believe I shot it.. lucky. 

Good news is, he's alright. :) 

Austin Young posing a contemplating look. 

Looks good there doesn't it? 

As is tradition this season, I brought some Venison to grill up for a midday break. 

Oh man. 

Kritter came up with a Venison dog. 

And kritter smash!!!!! 

I bet that was tasty. 

So yah, hope we get snow! If not, see on the slopes. 

keep sliding sideways my friends!

Merry Christmas!

I was out snowboarding at Wild Mountain this afternoon into the evening. Man, it was so fun out there. I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas! Awesome time with family in the morning, friends: Austin Young and Ethan Deiss in the afternoon, and skyping with my beautiful girl Tatum in the evening. Everything I could ask for. Thank you Jesus! 

I guess we could all start praying for snow? Just an idea.. maybe to bring in the new year? It's not supposed to happen, but hey, there's power in prayer. 

Even with no snow, go check out your local resort! I've been to most of the ones in the midwest this past week, and they are all so fun right now! It's been a good winter for resorts to make parks, cold enough to make snow and warm enough to keep it soft. Go use your new shred gear(hopefully some 32 gear) and go ride. :) 

enjoy, 

Merry Christmas to all!
