Everyone Wake Up Please

I'm the only person up in the whole house, but I'm about to go raise havoc and get these people on the hill. Today I'm bringing my camera and can take loads of photos of the cops pulling people over. Maybe we'll get pulled over again. But for now, here's my roomie up here at Peter's house Jake OE video chatting with himself.

Grenade Games Day One

Today was the first day of Grenade Games. I forgot my camera, but managed to get this photo of Peter jumping Chad's Gap with my phone. There was a crazy Chinese Downhill with like 150 people or something. Sketchy. I dropped in for like 3 seconds and stopped. Self preservation. We also got pulled over. Cops galore at this thing looking to confiscate some marijuana, maybe give a DUI out or two.

I know it's not really Chad's Gap.

Peter in Japan Part Two

This sign says something about Ninjas. So Peter says.

Peter sent me sideways photos. But sideways photos of ninja weapons are still cool.

Owls in a cage, I would have freed them.

Peter and Jake Olsen-Elm. I'm sitting with both of these guys as I type. I just met Jake for the first time, he's cool. Peter, he just smiles too much.

Japanese Eel Art.

I'd jack all that change.

I don't tag. I'm not really down for it, but if I did and I were in Japan, I'd definitely write tacos on the wall.

Jake's a squirrel. Squirrels are uncomfortable on beds.

More ninja weapons, this time with a ninja suit. I don't think this ninja suit would fit under your snowboard gear.

Matty Ryan Drunk Dial

Matty drunk dialed me late last night and left me a pretty awesome message. My phone is mad vintage, so I can't record messages. Or at least I think I can't, instead I just recorded it off my Elph. I may experience a higher volume of drunk dials after this post. Thanks Matty.

Nima - "Are you?"

John Lennon Wins the Beatles Poll

John Lennon is your favorite Beatle! I really thought Paul would have faired better, personally I voted for George, but we all knew John had it clinched from the get go. Now I have to think of a new really interesting poll..

The Northwest Extended

I extended my Northwest trip to handle some business and break some chairs. I had the weekend open so I hitched a ride with my friend Jered Garrison who I used to work with at K2 and who used to live across the street from me.

Jered is the most American person I know. He was almost getting in car accidents on the ride home because he kept saluting every flag we drove by.

I should really look up the name of this mountain. It's the peak just south of Hood on the way to Bend and it was smoking or steaming on the way home.

Mt. Bachelor, OR.

Jered fell pretty hard the first day so he cruised and shot photos the next. Here I'm doing a regular footed method.

I really like Aaron Rosko's indys. His last name isn't Rosko, but that is what everyone calls him and his real last name is too hard for me to remember.

Aaron backside 180. Bachelor is like a big skatepark with little trannies everywhere.

Dave Scaffidi.

I can't really ride vert all that well, but who can't do mctwists these days?

This is my boy Blake. I met him up there and he showed me how to ride all the miniature transitions and stuff at bachelor.

Gordon Boehm.

Gordon's Miller flip.

Blake.

Here is that mountain again, that smoke or steam or whatever really makes you remember that these mountains are volcanoes. Hood even started doing it for a minute.

Seattle at night.
