Oh. Hey Winter. Welcome back. I MISSED YOU.

For those wondering, the inequality goes: Lake Effect > Bad Knee. EVERY. TIME.

Better late than never, eh Utah? I had planned on giving up on school, friends and family over break, but you didn’t provide for me. The snow finally showed up this week and hiking season is upon us.

Daydreaming.

According to my doctor there is a difference between this MRI of my knee and what a normal knee should look like.
Three separate meniscus tears and bone damage my ass, this looks photoshop’d to me.

Good way to wake up.

Also. Keep voting this guy for the 4FRNT shreddership. No one is progressing the books-on-tape ski edit soundtrack more than him.

Nik Aksamit showing that skiing is serious business.

Wondering how upset my surgeon is going to be when I show up for my appt. on Thursday in ski pants,

Vote Pearled Barley in 2010.

Okay. So you can’t vote, but you can send your support out to Nik Aksamit, who is currently one of the four finalists in 4FRNT’s Shreddership contest. A contest that rates skiing ability with academics in order for one lucky student to win thousands of free pairs of skis or some 4FRNT labeled mechanical pencils (sz. 0.7 lead please).
The good news is Nik is easily one of the top 43 skiers at Snowbird who are also from Boise, ID and are currently graduate students in Math Theory at the University of Utah with an emphasis on all topics that are applicable to nothing and like to drink copious amounts of pumpkin flavored egg-nog until they puke in the bathrooms of the Sugarhouse dollar theater.

Promotional HelmetCast

Posted on August 10, 2010 by Jake

My life long effort to sell out to big corporations such as Enron, AIG and Fannie May is littered with many obstacles. One such obstacle is being asked, nay forced to shorten down my beloved HelmetCast edits so they may be demoed elsewhere.

Destroy my art you say?!? At first I scoffed at the notion, but then generous bribes were offered to me and I relented. Alas, three free packages of Skittles later I found myself trying to make a shortened edit of last spring’s footage.

So without further ado, I give you my HelmetCast Promo. I hope you all enjoy it and if it doesn’t play on your computer, it’s not my fault, you’re just holding it wrong.
