Icy Riding at Hood Meadows
The snow has either melted down or blown off Mt.Hood in the past two weeks of sunshine. Ladd, Dylan, Shaun Daley, Ryan, curly haired Al and I made the best of what is left, which happened to be a fun, firm set of wind-lips to hike just out of bounds. A little sunshine made for […]

DK Nike Commercial
Love it. Nice, comical, short spot with two insane ender airs in a summer pipe at Hood. Oh yeah and the boots (incase you were wonder) are killer. I’ve been really enjoying my Nike Danny Kass boot. It’s got a more solid even flex with a little bit more ankle support than the Kaiju. They […]
