Japan Update
From our friends at Custom Produce in Japan:
"We still have large number of aftershocks everyday. Today we have three kind
of big one but nothing compared to the first main shock. My family are fine
and our CPI crew show up office everyday under the fear of nuclear plant. We
don't use heater to save energy, so our office is kind of freezing, but coal
helps my head keeping warm. Some of our clients have to close store due to
broken building, such as Murasaki, Alpen, Xebio, and some core shops.
Attached photos are from Murasaki sports in Sendai area.
Please tell your team we are all fine.
Thanks,
Joe

Minor Threat 2
Saturday gave us perfect weather for year two's Minor Threat, a 14 and under kids contest at Steven's Pass. The park crew stepped shit up for us this year, under promising and over delivering. The rodents got to rip on 4 different booters, a 30' disco box, candy cane rail, shot gun rail and corrigated tube. Lil guys had two hours to strut their stuff with the minors competing in 4 age classes, 8 & under, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14.
Thanks to CAPiTA, COAL, Union, SnoCon, evo, SPSS, POW Gloves and Stevens Pass for all the prizes.
Pinto
Yea it's a Pinto, but man how fun would it be to clip this thing? Coincidentally, my first year in Steamboat I met Bob Glidden at the restaurant I was working at. Totally star struck too when I said hi. Dude was the best Pro Stock driver to ever go down the 1/4 mile.

Minor Threat trophies
Kyle busted this shit out over the last 3 days. Recycled warranty boards. We're so green.
1984
This photo just showed up on Faceblaster. 1984, Guilford CT at the Foothill BMX track. Me (GHP shirt) and my buddy Mark Seidl. So much good shit in this photo too. Like Oakley O-Wing grips, a JOFA facemask, hair, JT Racing USA jersey, Thruster Tri-Power in the background and a dude with a pink mohawk and a spider on his head getting the BMX babes. BMX...

GreenHorn Games 2011
"All right kids, here's the format. You got 3 hours to terrorize the course. Half way thru, we're gonna serve you lunch and your parents got to go out and ride the features so your entertained."
3 boys classes, 9 and under, 10/11 and 12/13 plus a all girls class with about 60+ kids going at it was the 4th annual Summit At Snoqualmie's GreenHorn Games. Year 4 and it's a whole different ball game than year one, as far as talent, progression and stoke. Granted I'm fully Soccer Dadding it on the sideline, laughing my ass off for 3 hours so my opinion is a tad skewed but still, I think that yesterdays throw down was just that. A throw down where the kids were getting busy upping their shred-eye skills by trying to one up each other for three hours. To have that many kids concentrated in one area pumping each other up was amazing.
Once again Krush, thanks for a great day.
Mike Ranquet said it best at the TWS Riders Poll this year...
"Skiing is fucking gay, seriously." And shit like this letter below are part of the reason.
This "GEM" is from the Vail Daily from a gentleman named OTTO WIEST:
It has become quite common to get hit by a snowboarder. When I talk to my friends, they all know stories about it. Snowboarders seem to have some strange ideas about using a ski mountain. Lately, I was reading in the Vail daily the story of a skier who recovered from a horrible crash with a snowboarder after long time.
Vail has a lot of easy intermediate slopes, which are ideal for fThey are also ideal for practicing high-speed boarding. The other day, I saw a boarder with a T-shirt what said: “Why turn when you can go straight?” It says precisely what a lot of boarders seem to think.
Is Vail becoming a race track for snowboarders or will it be a place for family skiing? Sorry friends, both things on the same slopes are not possible.
When I learned skiing, I was told that a good skier can turn in any snow on any hill. Even ski racers who are able to go straight are practicing precise turns and those who make the best turns win the championships.
The main job of any ski school is to teach their students how to turn, as every beginner can go straight. How much control does a boarder have with a speed of over 50 mph? Will he be able to stop with in a distance of 20 feet?
I was on Slot at Sun Up Bowl, near chair 17. There were about five people on the whole hill. A boarder came from behind, hit my boot, broke a buckle and had a great spill. After that he complained that I was in his way. It doesn't need much intelligence to figure this out because otherwise he wouldn't have run into me.
I watch snowboarders because I don't trust them at all. I see them often in a semi-controlled situation, not entirely in control. The Skier's Safety Code is not enough for them and I would like to update those rules:
Rule 1. Even if a lot of boarders seem to have a stiff neck, it would be necessary that they turn their head and take a good look before they go into a blind backside turn. This reminds me, of a car driver who has half of his windows covered and changes lanes.
Rule 2. If you are a beginner and unable to turn well enough, please stay at the beginner hill until you know what you are doing. Or even better, take a lesson with Vail Ski School. To run into people and to explain, sorry, I didn't mean it, is not acceptable.
Rule 3. When you are on catwalks, please avoid the dangerous up and down jumping at both sides of the trail as you are not alone and other people simply don't enjoy getting run over. There are enough half-pipes at Vail Mountain, especially for boarders.
Rule 4. If you go straight down Forever or Genghis, you may call yourself a hero. But if you go straight down busy and easy slopes like Golden Peak, Northwood's or Born Free, you are an idiot.
Rule 5. Whenever you jump it might be helpful if you could see where you will be landing. The signs “No Jumping” are not only for skiers.
Rule 6. Even if some boarders may feel like they are ready to go to the next X Games, keep at least five feet between you and any other person on the slopes. In case you want to show your great abilities, please use only your friends as slalom gates.
VR is trying hard to make Vail a safe place. Signs, people to watch, even whistles are tried out. But will all of this help? I doubt it. If you are used to skiing at speed of 50 mph or more, then 30 is too slow.
Fun parks are now all over the mountain. Why not areas for families?
To blame each other is no way forward. The necessary safety that we all had years ago is no longer part of skiing.
To reduce crazy behavior is possible and necessary.
Otto Wiest
Srsly Otto, it's all the same. You got stupid ass skiers and stupid ass snowboarders all running into people left and right. Get over it. They don't know any better. Nor do you. Right Mike D?

Greenhorn
Kids only contest at Snoqualimie today called the Greenhorn Games. This will be Milo's 4th year doing it and Mac's first contest so we spent a couple nights up at the pass "training" on their features this week. The park is pretty damn next level right now too. Good luck kids.

Row Mate
When I was flying from B-Town to Minny last week I was editing the "February Break" video of the kids. There was this Army meat head sitting next to me talking at me about it too. Guy was 50ish, Special Forces type shit and dropping copious amounts of F-Bombs in every sentence. I became especially fond of him when this 20 something hussy walked by and he goes "I'd like to get on that for a bit, but you know, I'm just not that into young chicks." Anyway...dude looks over to the next row and there's a chick editing with Final Cut a snowboard movie. Meat says to me "looks like that chicks got better talent in her movie." I think this was the movie she was editing.
Fuck you Meat.

Hip-Ah-Thon
That's why it's called dope
"So the older I get the more I can't stand smoke shacks. Lets stop in
the woods and get high in this little shack that only fits 4 people.
Great idea. Didn't you just get high on the chairlift? Anyways, the
new shacks being built are also being built as obstacles. There is one
in Vail that has a logslide over it. This one in Winter Park is like a
pillow jump. Dang stoners... Have your kids ever been in a smoke
shack? Hope not. Pat O'Toole"
