Today was total sickness! Got up and at 'em early, chowed some breakfast with the crew who were super pumped to get the day rollin' and that's when the fun started. Got the rig buried up to the frame tryin' to get through a snow mound to park on the mountain. two broken tow straps, one snowmobile, and a snowcat later we had the rig parked at the base of the half pipe. Special thanks to Kenny who straight runs this place like a boss. He has more energy and know how then any one I know! Jumped right in and got me unstuck and my tracks groomed smooth for the oncoming riders that hit the slopes seconds after we were parked!
After The Rat snapped the obligatory claim pics of the rig we turned it out and started banging tunes for the oncoming Mighty Midwest Tour campers, and the future olympians as they shredded the park! My man Glen from New Zealand showed up with a guitar and started throwin' down for the crowd that was rallied around the rig to watch the half pipe riders and take in his mad licks. Nate from Australia was killin' it, crazy boost from that guy! Half way through the day Glen and the New Zealand team grabbed me for some lunch. Super cool peeps, so stoked to meet them! We were gonna do a night session but I guess they closed the pipe for some maintenance! Tomorrow is supposed to be another beautiful day, all the teams are supposed to be out tossin'! Can't wait!
Oh yeah and no air bag stuff b/c they didn't have it runnin' today! Hopefully tomorrow they fill 'er up and let 'em send it for the kids!
weRd!
