the start of something new

busy...I quit my job at northstar because i wasnt snowboarding as much as i wanted so i decided to try my hand at creating a clothing company...something i have wanted to do for a very very long time now. I know its going to be a challenge but it should be fun.

we have 3 shirts so far, one for a DJ, DJ Maggot
and 2 for the company Gutta Mafia

i created a blog, facebook, email, twitter, and got the domain name so far

its a pain the ass trying to do all this and find people to design a logo and shirts for me for a reasonable price but like i said its pretty fun.

heres the first attempt of the logo we are trying to work with, it needs ALOT of work but its a rough draft

good morning?

woke up to find out it snowed a little! thank god since we have been hurting pretty bad the last 3 weeks here in tahoe.

buuuuut I have been very very sick the last week and a half, real sore throat and a nasty nasty cough. I went on a ride break at work today to hit some of the fresh powder (the mountain got 8")
and after two runs I was bent over behind the lift coughing and puking...
My boss saw and sent my ass home haha. So now im at home, just drank a shit load of cough medicine, poped 2 norcos for my back (from the gnarly crash), and im knocking out this homework for my drug class. Not so bad... I just wish I has some promethazine codeine syrup. for those of you who dont know

Promethazine Codeine Syrup mixed with Sprite and jolly ranchers. serve with ice in a white styrofoam cup. Sit back and chill out. Commonly refered to as lean, purple sprite, sizzurp, etc.

also! if your a new follower, or I havnt commented on your blog in a while please leave a comment saying your following and supporting. It gets sent to my email and makes it alot easier for me to add you

Another day....

Started school on tuesday, some pretty sic classes i think..

1. English 1a
2. Career Planning
3. Illegal drug influence and recognition
4. Intro to humanities

being from San Diego the illegal drug class is a instant A , the teacher already loves me haha. But the other classes the teachers seem way chill and with smaller class sizes they want to get on a 1on1 level with their students.




Northstar news: the snow is absolute shit, its been over 50 degrees the past 3 weeks and all the snow is melting. BUT check out these bad boys northstar is building i think for the Vans comp. coming up

one more thing before i get back to my drug homework...check out this lil girl, she turned 3!!! a month ago and already mobbn! she can stop on her own and even turns her board to ride switch, fuckn sweet! shes ganna be incredible by the time shes 7 if she keeps it up

OUCH!

first off let me start off with delivering the pics of my hoopty

but damn what a terrible day snowboarding, i was in a great mood when i showed up to throw down big today and work on my spins....4th run of the day i decided to hit the 45 foot and 55foot kickers with just a simple grab, nothn crazy. the 45 i stomped! speed checked and went to hit the 55.....cought an edge or something at the lip and it kicked my board out from under me...
heres a pic of about the size of the jump(if you look at my previous pics of the jumps the skiiers are hitting, its the same jump), how high i was, and the position my body was in.

problem was that i didnt want to be in that position! and the conditions of the mountain is shit, its an inch of fake snowblown snow over solid ice. needless to say i feel out of the air very very high up, knew i was falling on my back, covered the back of my head with my hands and let my self hit the solid ice....well thank god i didnt break anything or hit my head but this is the result

FUCK!



after rolling around in pain i decided i was done riding for the day and that i was done riding my powder board off the kickers and pretending that i didnt need a board just for park.
powder board; arbor abacus:

I highly highly recommend that board if your balls deep in some serious powder and want to mobb.

But who am i kidding, im working with a 59" base of ICE and FAKE snow
So i went ahead and got myself a park board.

....funny thing is i JUST bought a helmet yesterday, never thought i would but i know since im getting much better it would be a good investment. Especially since i dont have insurance. And this mutiny helmet is so tits!
so from now on helmet everyday. and you should too.

2 songs that stuck out today

workn at the top of the chairlift is dope for the one and only reason that I can listen to music and just chill.

Had yesterday off and there is this dope ski comp going on right now so heres some flics from it. these dudes were throwing down! saw some real nice stuff. heres the quote from northstars website "The North Face and Mountain Sports International are proud to announce The North Face Park and Pipe Open Series, a two-stop tour featuring ski slopestyle and halfpipe competitions. The North Face Park and Pipe Open Series kicks off January 6 - 9, 2011 at Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort in California.

“The North Face is excited to bring its big mountain heritage to the park and pipe competition scene with a series that will inspire up and coming athletes and drive pro level competition,” said Aaron Carpenter, Vice President of Marketing for The North Face.

The North Face Park and Pipe Open Series will dedicate one competition day to halfpipe and two days to slopestyle. Judging will be overall impression based on creativity, degree of difficulty, combinations, variations, style, and amplitude, with $40,000 in total prize money up for grabs. The competition at Northstar Resort is the last event that will count towards getting an invite to the 2011 Winter X Games, and will count on the Association of Freeskiing Professionals (AFP) points list to qualify for the Halfpipe and Slopestyle FIS World Championships in February. The North Face Park and Pipe Open Series will work in conjunction with the AFP on competition judging, with AFP General Manager and X Games competitor Steele Spence serving as head judge for the series. 

"The North Face Park & Pipe Open Series is a great opportunity for amateur and pro riders alike. This is a gateway for amateurs to flow to pro level, and a platform for pros to continue to progress the sport in a fluid, lucrative environment,” said Steele Spence, head judge for The North Face Park and Pipe Open Series and AFP general manager. “The Park and Pipe Open Series brings legitimate ski competition to both sides of the country with Northstar Resort and Waterville Valley being top venues with quality terrain parks; and the AFP is pleased to be involved with the judging and athlete relations for this series.”
