Runnin' Laps with Lonsdale

Boardroom_48hrs — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 13:19:00 GMT

I'm going to start by saying that the support and love that I've felt over the last 44 hours is amazing. A big thanks to everyone involved for their support!

I got a pow slash looking over the city this afternoon...

Gettin' some Valentines day love from Holly and co. They said they like my russian hat, soft like silk.

And then around midnight we gathered the whole Boardroom Lonsdale staff up to spread the stoke, up the energy level and be all around radical individuals!

A brief chillin sesh at the bottom of the park

Everyone up here was so rad and helpful. Grouse Mountain and DC rule.

It's time to go shred these last 4 hours!

ET here at 7:28am Sunday. Time to head down. Thanks to DC. Thanks to BR. So much love to Team Awesomeness. Here's a couple of photos:

... Fun?!!

This blog was probably the funnest blog yet. Everything seems funny when you've been shralpin' for 37 hours. Someone knocked the gong into full gear.

36 hours in, 4 caffine pills, and a f$%# load of stoke!

Lonsdale shop manager Seth Rundle showing his support. Big ups for helping make this happen yo

We're startin this evenin right with the BR party posse rollin on up for this evenings festivities

Mel, Seth's lovely girlfriend kept the stoke alive until Gonzo showed up.

E.T. going crazy eyed...time for a nap in the cave?

Hells no! We out making laps 'til the sun comes up!

Saturday evening laps and blogfollery

Boardroom_48hrs — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 06:27:00 GMT

So in the spirit of Valentines Day, we went searching for chickenheads!

We headed out to make some Saturday evening park laps,

Mellow presses as we feel the fatigue...

Jibby jib jib jam!

We ran park laps and we got the Judge to spin...

And I hit up a mellow cat track drop...

Saturday Shralping With The Shred Raws

Boardroom_48hrs — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 03:55:00 GMT

Team Dynamic = wonderful valentines love.

Bromance:

Other teams... one big happy family. Can't believe DC put such an awesome event together in The Boardroom's backyard. We feel like we're over the hump. But the whole thing has been so rad I'm starting to get sad that it will eventually end. We've got so many friends coming up tonight. We look forward to seeing all of you!

We started this morning with a 10m snowshoe race...I'm stretchin...The race obviously had to be shirtless given the sun and sick weather!

The infamous Yeti! Like waldo...we found him!

DC Demo boards are available to take for a spin. I rode the 2010 BDR 156, a medium flexing reverse camber all mountain freestyle stick.

It was pressy!

Me and "The Judge" double methods

Fun to jib...

High five Dinoman!

BONK!

bs 1 method...side hits are sooo fun!

So that was Saturday til about 2pm

The afternoon session was all pleasure and no business. Rugge (photog) said at 3:05 "for these 30 so hours we've been riding so hardly and extremely, this has been the best 5 minutes by far..."

Bombing into a hit...

High Fives throughout the day for droppin cliffs...

We finally finished the mission of huntin rabbits! Raw rabbit...near the infamous SNOW CAVE!

(Please visit the site to view this media)

We'll see y'all on the flipside as were out to hit the sunset pow slashes, park laps and more shenanigans...

Seriously stoked to head back out to enjoy the ride MORE!

So much random tiredness riding the highway of lifestyles grouse morning sessions together again...

Wake Up Call

Boardroom_48hrs — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 17:10:00 GMT

Feeling super refreshed from my power hour of naptime i went and lay down on the elastic green floor that carpets our miniscule sleeping arrangement. Sleep was not in my horoscope though so i pulled my gear back over my head and suited up for battle. The BR crew is scattered over this sleepy mountain, either too far into dreamland too ever escape, or shredding the fresh groomers under the early morning moon gettin prepped for round two. Our triple A, cream of the crop, super gnar gnar shreddie crew of broskies locked and loaded with shredsticks, cameras and every other item a true shralp artist would need is becoming one like some sort of super radical mega transformer. With our deadly arsenal we will fall on the unsuspecting skiers and boarders of grouse mountain, slaying stunts and slashing powder stashes. Another fun filled day, 23 hours in and plenty more to come. 3, 2, 1, DROP IN!!!

I rode laps with Anthony and Spencer from the Boardroom

Did some tripods, butters, jibs, bonks and speed laps on olympic express!

Thumbs up from the BR party posse...We're going to send it at sunrise...PEACE!

Sitting here at 2:50 with a big banana (genius)

Boardroom_48hrs — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 17:08:00 GMT

Mark grabbing his nose like theres no tomorrow, maybe he will find the rabbit with this move......

We were tailblocking, shushin, with some snaggletoothed snitchelfritz'd homies! hahaa wtf?! does that mean?!! I'm delirious...

Oh yeah, Grady showed up and slayed it tonight. Grady's got so much style, so fun to slide with.

In the trees...

Peak Knoll, yeeeaaah...

Meeting up with Johnny and Fred was the best thing to happen in the past 4 hours!

Caution slashers in action, keep small children and old men away from this session spot.

NO WAY! Someone kicked the power bar...

Soooo stoked for the sunny day shred! It's the best weather ever here at Grouse, I love this place and will hopefully use my local knowledge to get more shots in more obscure spots while enjoying the ride more! I'm still looking for a teammate if anyone from the BR is watching this and down to commit...get up here now!!! Me and Daniel from GoPro Cameras (www.colabo.ca) were out filming all morning getting some warmup laps down in the little park.

With the sun and the fresh groomers this morning was epic! Soo much fun...

A big thanks to DC for holding this 'funtest' and saving me commute time, as I'm here everyday, it takes a bus, a train, a boat, a bus, a gondola and an hour and a half for the commute. Thanks for saving me 6 hrs of my life and letting me spend it shredding instead....hellsyeah!
