Trip to Breck+Crash=trip to the ER

Yesterday my day included snowboarding at Breckenridge and then making a trip to the ER because of a head injury. I remember nothing from the entire day. Luckily my friend Lee was there with some of my family to help me out. I am guessing I was not to "with it" afterwords because I found this note later on in the night on my phone

So I spent the rest of the night in the ER

 

Ahh soo fun. Anyways, Ended up with a pretty bad concussion and zero memory of anything that happened yesterday. At one point, yesterday, I got off the phone with Katie and then about 5 minutes later her Uncle called her pretty worried because I wanted to call her and tell her that I fell so they were pretty worried. This is my second really serious concussion. Good thing I was wearing a helmet.
Thank you Lee and my awesome family for taking care of me yesterday when I was clearly unable to take care of myself.

The doc told me that I'm supposed to take a month off of snowboarding since this is number 2. There goes my season

Jibfest has returned

I couldn't be happier about the fact that the Nixon Jibfest is returning. One of my favorite contests and events of all time. It was one of the first videos I ever actually bought myself and it changed my life and my view on what snowboarding was. Thank you Jeremy, JP, and Dave for bringing it back!

The Big Show

This weekend Mackey and I adventured up to Aspen for the X-Games. We drove up Friday night and stayed with some friends in Beaver Creek. Woke up early Saturday morning to the smell of a mans sized breakfast and then took a few runs at BC. Then off to the games. I am working on an edit so keep a look out for that coming soon.

Our Breakfast for Saturday

Jeremy and me

 

Macks and Jeremy

 We got to hang out with Jeremy for a little bit and met his family. Super nice people! Got to check out his board for next year. It looked and smelled really good.
The snowboard street event was way cooler to watch for me than the big air and even the super pipe. I can actually understand the tricks that were happening and think about trying those myself. probly wouldn't actually land most but at least I can figure out how its done. I dont even understand the big air jump and how you can feel so comfortable just hucking your life away over those jumps. Dudes are nuts. And I will never get how Shaun White can get 25 ft above the deck of a 22 ft high half pipe.

Crazy skier going sooo big

Mackey snapped this off of Shaun on his first hit in the super pipe of his winning run

Half pipe was pretty fun. We charged our way through the gates and kinda just "head downed" our way through security and no one ever said anything to us so we just kept going up. We ended up here where Mackey was able to catch this photo. It's wild to have these dudes flying over head so high.

Just finished up my first major, professional video project. Check out www.freeyourlegs.com for the full videos. The website was designed by Mackey Hooker and he did an awesome job.

Thanks to everyone for all your help! More to come in the near future!
