The start of winter

After all my traveling, I had to get a job, this went well I had two serving jobs. however in one day that changed and I know serve at the Mnt Club on Loon and work at the Adventure Center doing snowshoe tours. A big change but way more my speed. I have gotten to do a couple of rail jams here in NH, like Cease and Desits were I got 2nd, and waterville's TransAm were I got 2nd also. Some Shred Betties girls also came and we make a great weekend out of it, you can read more at www.shredbetties.com I can't put in a link for so reason. Its great to have friends here on the east, I still want to make a trip west if not two. I also got some new stuff from INI which I'm supper stoked on. Finally theres enough snow that I have broken out the new deck from Homewood also a supper fun board, I'm really excited to be apart of there team. This winter I hope to learn new thinks and be a better rider athlete all around, thank you to my sponsors for helping me along the way. Shred Ready, Homewood Snowboards, I/O merino, INI cooperative, and Shred Betties, Thank you and Cheers to the New Year!!

Trip to the South

So this past month I was in the south taking in my last chance of summer. Also to see my cousin in over a year. We don't get to see each other much but when we do we are joined at the hip like we never parted. I love this girl so much we are each others best friends. So shortly after getting home I traveled down to DC were she lived. We spent a day there, and then headed south to Charleston SC. She has a friend that lives right near the water in a cute neighborhood. Charleston is a pretty cool city I liked it, I even got to see dolphins. We also went to this crazy Angel Oak tree, and the Firefly distillery. This is one of the oldest Oak trees, and it had some crazy shapes it was fun to see. The Distillery is were we tasked what they make, it was pretty fun and bought some of there creations. After Charleston we when down to St Augustine FL to camp for the night and check out the oldest city in the USA. Camping is always fun, except we had too scare off the racoons all the time. They are creepy creatures. We even got robed by them! maybe we had to much moonshine and forgot but still they robed us. In St Augustine we got some Christmas shopping done and checked out the fort. Then the rain came so we moved on to our next stop Jacksonville FL. Where we meet up with a friend of Lairen's, we spent the night and then headed to her mothers place in the boonies of the south. It was fun to see how the true southerners live. After we headed to the white sandy beaches of FL were her Dad my cousin live we had alot of fun hanging out with her friends. We got to try surfing, still wicked hard. And then my poor 4runner had to get fixed, if my cousin didn't try and find this bad noise we would have been stranded in the deep south. My fly wheel was almost broken in two. This could have distorted including me and Lairen. Lucky it got all fixed and we headed north for out other cousins wedding. this is a sunset in the bayou Once we made it back we had to participate in family stuff with the wedding, my and Lairen were really good at being late. However we did make it. It was a fun wedding my cousin is hitched. So after all this great fun, we couldn't stop we had to go to a Phish concert, my first Lairen's 10th I think and our other cousin's 20 years for Phish concerts. This was a great experience and time! I'm so glad I got to go! there's to many stories and friends i meet to even go on but what an epic concert and time!! Till next time!
