Eagle rock this weekend??? Article from http://science.nasa.gov May 2, 2012: The full Moon has a reputation for trouble.

Govy Goes Wild 2/13/12
I happen to be on KT when I looked up and saw somebody on top of McConkey’s. I quickly got my fancy phone out and shot some amateur video. I quickly found out that the nutty culprit was Aaron McGovern AKA Govy. Needless to say it was rowdy and quite frankly scary [...]
Inspiring
This article is truly inspiring, and upholds the phrase “when you fall off your horse you need to get back on”! This line in the article says it all “Although my body has been broken, my spirit never will be. I am unbreakable!” See the full article below courtesy of the star Tribune. RENO, Nev. [...]

Remember shoveling and shoveling and shoveling said driveway? Remember all those early mornings in the KT line? They may be [...]
The Future of Snowboarding Competitions
So stoked to find this video this morning, over the years we have watched snowboarding competitions change into something more of a big trick contest. Travis Rice is trying to change that with The Red Bull Supernatural. The best thing that I took away from this video is Travis saying, “we wanted to make a [...]
