transworld ride my pole

ok so i went to the riders poll last night, for some reason i thought it would be different from the years past. dead wrong. you cant hear shit, no one really cares about whats going on up on the stage including the presenters and the drinks cost as much as a used 86 civic. i gotta say the getting dressed up thing was kind of rad though. i was in a suit, and not at a funeral or some shit ass wedding, that was a bonus. people were looking sharp. there were a few attempts to polish turds both male and female. note to some ladies out there, if your hideous by birth, no ammount of mascara or receding hem line is going to solve mother natures little gift, blame your parents. all in all it was a good time. i bouced early cause i gots to get up at 6 with the kids. there were so many rooms with people that you half knew, it was hard to make eye contact with anyone. the beauty of trade show style events, the event friend. usually named hey you, or whats up man. my son is having melt down cause his 2 year old sister spiked his new lego robot that he just built, gotta go

Note to the Ladies

"note to some ladies out there, if your hideous by birth, no ammount of mascara or receding hem line is going to solve mother natures little gift, blame your parents."

Ouch. I don't blame them down there tho... So Cal is so image driven and all the chicks are living in bikinis- hard for women not to get self-conscious. Women are making their mark these days, but its still always been the Man's mountain. We're working on that. I love to see chicks rip it up and much love to the guys out there that support the cause. I was more than stoked to read last year that 33% of all Riders were female. Yeaaah, Girls!!

I must agree tho, getting dressed up is fun and I love doing it down in the City. Events are always fun for me too cause I get to see friends I haven't seen in a long time, catch up on good old times and then celebrate together with them by rocking out. Plus, I truly love to see riders from all over the world come together around what they love and the progression of it.

Bet you were looking clean at the awards, Todd. And congrats on bein a Papa Bear... its a special thing. Good luck with the rugrats, hope to see them on deck soon too... if that's their dig. : )

///better back that audi up!

dear mr. richards,

while you may have more wealth and power than a southern televangelist, what you do not have is my looks.

allow me to demonstrate myself bringing the meat and cheese to the table-ladies take a number:

Me on a good day.

you can click on the picture to get a real feel for what man looks like.

///tina, here's what's up:

i agree with you, tina, socal is a very tough place not to be a physically attractive woman.

i think there are a variety of under laying factors as to why some people tend be harsh judgers: it's a fast paced area, it's a young-of which many are immature-environment (the total i.q. of the snowboard industry sans your industry leaders has about a median i.q. of 110, it should be noted i hover around a sixteen.), and socal is a very materialistic place (aka beyond leveraged), etc.

when you add all the above factors together (or what i perceive to be) you get stressed-out people that think they are the best-even though they are deeply insecure. these same people feel they 'almost need' to put others down to forget their daily burdens and the fact that they are broke-ass losers living in their mom's basement out in twenty-nine palms with a p.o. box in la jolla (where they tell everyone they meet, that's where they "live").

these pathetic-ass judgers/poseurs can justify everything they do by simply rolling out of bed and knowing that they have a really nice car to drive (which most can barely make payments on) to their underpaying job(s).

luckily for me, i was given a healthy set of genes from my parents; i am tall enough, overly secure/confident, incredibly hansom (according to my wife, her girlfriends, as well as our gay friends-which are tough and more than honest judges mind you), and I can can speak French poorly-so, I got the mc-culture thing going on, as well.

what does this all have to do with being an ugly girl in a judgmental atmosphere/environment in a place like southern california? i'm not sure. i just wanted the world to know that i was hot and would have no problem getting a drink with or without mascara.

Ohhh Myyy...

That was well put, LJJ... and quite fricken hilarious. You have such a way with words. Hey, flaunt if you got it, Boy... heh.

Well, I have a view of what happens to good people in the city- They get distracted. The city is a busy place with a lot of distractions... and they can get caught up and distracted by all of it. They are true and good people inside... its the outside that overwhelms them and causes them to act like that. Being a good person and the person you want to be is a daily process. It has to be a priority. But YOU are worth it... so just make it happen... why not?

Ha... OK, I know, I know... "Shut Up Hippie."

Still, I know when I spent my first summers in San Diego, I was happy to go get lost in the woods and get my mountain time in. It was usually with my boys, with layers of clothes on, stuck in the mountains with nothing to do but rock out, be real and actually have intelligent conversation (when you're stuck in a cabin in the woods, there's not much else). It was awesome.... and needed after some time down south. Much love to down there though, its a gorgeous place to be.

Whatever... to each his own. I do my best to have tolerance for others and not judge. And if you're hot, you're hot. If you're not, don't fake it... just say fuck it. Stand tall and pround... you rock whether you're a cover shot or not.

Dear TinaMarie, thanks for s

Dear TinaMarie,
thanks for sticking up for me .... but, are you saying that its ok that im ugly as long as I can have conversations while stuck in the woods, or that im stuck in the city and destracted by life, yet actually quite beautiful, like the quinisential ugly duckling that blossoms into a graceful swan?

or, should I just stop taking my medications and going online?

- all my love,
Chris

I love these Boys.. cause they are 'core' (ha) and they have 'the love of the ride'. To the tail.

Not to threadjack or anything but I was surprised to hear you'll be riding for Northstar now. There are certain people that I just can't help but associate with Breck- you, Chopper, RT...

By JpBergeron at Sat, 09/09/2006 - 8:39am | login or register to post comments

got kids

its really about the family. its easier to go to northstar with the family. wifes parents are in the bay area so they can watch the childens. i still have my house in breck, but i am running a business here. the offer was better over at the north star

yeah, the lack of open bar kinda set the mood. $10 for a drink is cool only if it comes with a hamburger and a lap dance, and another drink. who won an award? did they even give out awards? had a good time, tho, kinda. not as many people there as in years past. not as many hijinx, either. my buddy got slapped literally by 6 different chicks on the dance floor, so that was a highlight.
