With Christmas and New Years behind me, I've flown back west and found my self sitting in my Roberts Creek home...surrounded by snow! I've been told that the majority should melt with the coming rain, here's hoping...

Merry Christmas!

Arm update

2008-12-10T14:46:00.000-08:00

Well it's been nearly 4 weeks now, since I broke my arm. I must say it's healing alot faster than I had expected! I've almost regained full function in my arm. The only thing I can't do, as well as I used to, is rotate my wrist from palm up to palm down. I'll be working on strengthening it in the following weeks, and hopefully I'll gain that full mobility soon!

And for alittle change of scenery, I'll be heading back to Edmonton tommorow evening for Christmas and what not.

I got a picture of my broken bone, and it looks neat!

Chicken wing edit

2008-11-27T18:52:00.000-08:00

Well.. Easton and I went into the forest today, and conjured up a short web edit. Look for more of these to come in the near future! The song is I Want You So Hard by The Eagles of Death metal.

With the insane amounts of spare time I have, with this gibbled wing, I decided to put together an assortment of photos that summed up my 2008 season.

Enjoy:

This is just a short clip from back in the summer, in Whistler's Airdome. Haven't had the guts to try this one on dirt yet...maybe someday...

Broken

2008-11-16T19:48:00.000-08:00

Well.. today at the skatepark, I fell and broke my left radial. This is the first bone I've ever broken in my entire life so I'm definately breaking new ground! The break was right through but each piece stayed in there proper places! The chunk's about an inch long. It will be about 6 weeks until I`m good to go.. so there might be a lack of content...

Anyways, here's the lame fall that took me out. boooooo

Flume

Well, our trail saw some improvements today. The berms are definately getting pretty awesome... but there's still lots of work to do. I hope we get to make a cool trail sign, I'd like it to rival the red baron trail head because it's siiick!

Ascending, For a Change of Pace...

2008-10-23T01:37:00.000-07:00

Lately, Wednesday afternoons have been spent with rather uneventful "tasks". For a change of pace, Dan and Justin took Easton and I along for an afternoon of bouldering, and a little taste of climbing. Knowledgeable and properly equiped "guides", Justin and Dan, didn't disappoint in showing us the basics. Having none of the proper equipment didn't stop me from having a wicked time. Who knew the seemingly rockless forests around here held random patches of barren rock slabs tall enough to climb. After the random rock slab session, we headed down to another spot that was on the beach. Although, we aren't to sure if we found the jems in the area. Nevertheless, there was still some fun to be had along the beach.

My Worst Fears Come to Fruition..

Up a logging road and into a clear cut. Easton and Dan (our neighbour) set up their gear and took some pics. This is Easton's batch- o-photos. Oh and we tried to make a fire with magnesium, wet sticks, and a flint... needless to say we failed...we'd never survive in the wild.

Goose Poop

2008-10-18T18:37:00.000-07:00

Sleeping in until 11:30, thinking it's still pouring rain outside, I'm awoken by Easton telling me, contrary to my train of thought, that it's beautiful weather out and that we should go to the skatepark. Upon arriving at the skatepark, we have a pretty good sesh... only after a mysteriously large amount of goose poop, that spans all around the park, is shoveled away. Props go out to the brave soul who nominated himself to sweep it all! After that, we head over to Wendy's for some lunch. Although the chili is tasty, I'm always afraid to know it's ingredients... something about a large cauldron full of sloppy, chopped up food makes me SLIGHTLY suspicious. Easton suggests we work on our trail re-route. I warmed up by finishing up a section of trail I had been working on by doing some rather pretty landscaping. Easton did the same on his section. Then we headed over to a new section to continue grubbing and "broadcasting" all the organic material from the marked out section around a rotten tree stump. Eventually it'll be a nice 180 degree turn.... someday. Someone "up there" is keeping me on my toes... on the drive home we were taking in a super epic sunset only to be brought back to reality to a dog running in front of the car. NO I didn't hit him. :)

Hey kids!
