Midwest Experience.

nough said, Midwest fo life!!! 

Fun, but 'OW!'.

Today was one of those 'perfect conditions' days at Wild Mountain. 

Krister Ralles and I each learned at least four variations of a hand plant on a less than perfect quarter pipe, but it was awesome cause it was sixty degrees and sunny. Could you ask for more? However, when I changed it up to the jump a simple frontside three taught me a little lesson about landing in deep slush.. and man, it hurt. I came down hard on my toes, bashed my face in(thankfully not braking my ashbury's :)) and my closed fist was somewhere in-between my body and the snow, so it got worked pretty good also. Other than that today was one of the best days this season has offered. I walked the pain off for a second, drank some ice cold water and went home. haha. I can't complain, this is a pretty minor injury and the first one suffered from the season, and I've been riding a ton. So stoked just to have the privilege. I'll be back on the snow in a day or two. 

till then, PEACE!!!

Here are some that didn't get posted but are favorites. 

Colin Wilson: He is the future, believe you me. 

I've seen a few crazy things in my time... but this tops most. Boosting off the the tube. So huge!!! landing to the flats beneath. 

Jake Durham has quite an ollie. Made this sign without even braking a sweat. 

Austin Young has a mean roast beef. 

Krister Ralles got a new board, here he wanted to show off the base a bit.. sick methods happening all day. 

Viktor Simco had this demo instagrahmed before it began. On top of that. 

It was sweet. Such a good day. A million people and a million good times, with a million tricks to blog. These were just a few shout outs. 

Thanks again to all who came out!
