LJJ, you are a gentleman and a scholar, thanks for helping me OUT, for all the extra reach arounds, and for generally being a rad dude. See you in Baker I'm going to ride the HAMMOCK!

What do you think about our conversation Talking about the Internet, Video Future Thing?

"Illegal downloads hasn’t helped my profession. The video and the action sport industry have to adapt to the downloads. I know that hurts the quality, at least now it does, maybe not five years form now. And it’s been hard for filmers to make a living in the past, now it’s even harder. The filmers in snowboarding and skating makes very little money, stealing their videos online doesn’t help them one bit.
In Sweden there was a survey in out biggest newspaper about music and movie downloads. 90% felt like downloading should be legal. This proves that people don´t know what they are doing to musicians and artists like them. And it´s hurting the little guys the most. Hollywood will always survive.If people think it´s ok to steal my work I feel like I should be able to fill my car up with gas for free, get groceries for free, fly for free... you get the point... same argument."

In general, i'm usually stoked for all my shred bros who get good contions and get to rip pow, but right now I'm super frustrated

The last few years i have been able to get out 3 times a week and had the freedom to road trip. But this year my work situtaion has changed and I'm down to one day a week and road tripping is out the window for the season (or the foreseable season, anyway)

Sitting here reading all these blogs about how epic Colorado and the NW are, plus Utah and Tahoe are about to get rad is kind of tough.

The final kicker is that a couple of the local places, Kicking Horse and Castle are about to have their best opener in YEARS

well we have all seen swallowtails, fishes, longboards, and the soon to be released "banana hammock" but this is the weirdest pow board i have ever seen. You ride it centered.

I sent this via email to some of my buddies, and I know summer is almost over but i thought I'd spread the hate.

TOP TEN THINGS I HATE ABOUT SUMMER

10. Swass (sweaty ass)

9. Swalls (yeah that’s right) - and for the ladies: sweasts[b]*[/b]

8. Swotch - and for the ladies: swunt[b]*[/b]

7. Mosquitoes: seriously, what is the point of these critters?

6. Sure hot chicks wear less clothes, but so do dudes, and naked fat guys = teh gay!

5. Sure hot chicks wear less clothes, but so do the fat ones! cottage cottage cheese y'all

4. TV sucks; reality shows are the Garth Brooks of television (except for Rockstar: Supernova, of course)
