Xgames 2009!

Riley Poor

Our dear friend Riley Poor has been on my mind a lot since his accident on Sat of last week. I tend to become recluse when going through rough times... but I finally gathered myself enough to post a quick note about him on my blog. 

He is a true friend and one of the most kind and caring people in my life! He has always been there for me and I intend to do all I can to aid him through this tough journey. He is doing well but needs all of our support... check out Rileypoor.com.

Riley is one of those strong people that can do anything... this recovery will be no exception!

Sending all my love to him and his family.

Park City Madness

I have traveled to Park City for the week to shred some 22 ft. halfpipe madness. It has been balmy weather and the perfect mix of work and fun in the sun!

A handful of X-games Superpipe athletes are here dialing in the new size and shape of pipe. This is the first year the X-games will have a pipe this large. Most halfpipes are around 18 ft. So, you can imagine the possibility for amplitude in a 22 footer! 

Today Dumont was going huge! Tanner looked so comfortable and smooth as always and Dorey was doing down the pipe flatspins! I started spinning today and my tricks came right back. I don't feel like I have been out for a month, and that is a fabulous feeling!

More to come...

Meaningful conversations...

I had a great conversation with a friend last night, and it reminded me of a goal I had made for this winter. 

This a an excerpt from a Redbullskiing.com interview done this fall:

"Have you ever noticed how disconnected people are these days? We beat around the bush and settle of safe topics of conversation... what ever happened to talking about stuff that mattered? I am guilty of this as all of us are. I am taking notice and excited to start more real conversations with people in my life! And by real I don't mean serious or depressing. Talking about new music I found the other day is real to me. I guess when I use "real", I mean something that's inspiring. I think people sharing inspiration is where every great idea comes to life. Our world can use all the great ideas we can give!"

In a nutshull, thinking outside ourselves and getting involved, is the inspiration I gained from my chat with Tony. I want  to pass it on to you by sending you to check out Alpine Initiatives!

One life, fill it up!

I'm BACK!!

I had my follow up appointment today with Dr. Millett and it was all good news! My Xrays show that my collarbone is doing so well that I can go skiing tomorrow! As you can imagine I was jumping up and down all over the doctors office. I am so excited to go ski, the weeks went fast but it still feels like ages since I got to play in the snow.
