The Bike Park

Brandon — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 21:24:14 +0000

This weekend Nick and I broke ground on our top secret bike park. The first day was spent mostly mapping out the terrain and deciding how the park would flow. We managed to come up with a pretty effective way to build solid ladder bridges quickly and easily. The first feature is in and rides beautifully, now our minds are spinning with ideas on where we can take this! Enjoy the quick video from build day 1.

As a college freshman in Intro to Psychology I was introduced to the concept of hindsight bias, a term for the outcome of an event seeming more obvious after it took place then it did initially. Today in making my typical rounds on the internet, I am again exposed to a perfect example of hindsight bias that would make any skier blush. The video below is something so obvious and so awesome that now in hindsight I can not believe I have not seen it before. It’s awesome, it’s rad, of course it works and it’s make me just a little upset I didn’t do it first.

I’m more about living in the vacation then spending the year working to come out and ski for two weeks when you can ski here everyday.

Hermininator Hangs It Up

Hermann Maier decided to end his ski racing career today after a knee injury last season, and subsequent surgery prompted him to make a long term health decision. Maier entered the ski racing world at age 23 in 1996 and has won four Olympic medals (two Gold) and six world championship medals (three Gold). Maier was an amazing skier, but most probably remember him from “the” crash in Nagano which he walked away from to return two days later and snag his first Gold.

I have always taken inspiration from snowboard videos, this was mostly due to the fact that snowboarders’ style was far more mature then that of the freeskiing world. In present day that statement no longer holds water, skiing has matured into many different things and the style I craved and found in snowboarding has come to flourish in skiing. This trailer for an upcoming video that TGR is working on with Jermey Jones, looks to upset that balance once again and pioneer another stepping stone for the world of snow sliding enthusiasts.

You’ve all seen it before but in light of the recent activity from Papa J here it is again, the ultimate throwback to what we know as “the good ol’ days” (really… some of this footage dates back to 2002 when I first arrived in CO). Let’r buffer up and sit back and get stoked for this season!

Eric Pollard is easily one of my favorite skiers of all time, the guy is a pure artist on the hill. I won’t go into the a deep dialog on my philosophy of skiing, but just to say that Mr. Pollard is the godfather of perfecting switch skiing. My personal style is one that only hopes to emulate his… enjoy!
