K2 Orage Super Post
I got to compete in the 2010 Orage Masters this year. Oh my god did we have the times of our lives. To the teams it wasn't a contest, it was who could put on the best show, to us it was who could put on the best rock concert.
Flying
I was in Squamish for Easter Weekend, visiting Bushy and Sarah. Bushy took Johnny Riddle, Ty Spence, and I out flying in his four seater sesna. We built cardboard airplanes to throw out of the plane. Check it out

The One Drink Rule
One of the funniest things to me is the phrase "lets go for one drink." Those five harmless little words hide the meaning of what actually is about to happen that evening. I've learned that in this day and age it is very hard to just go for one drink. We are young, we're having fun, experimenting, dealing with peer pressure, everyone else is having fun, why can't you.
Robin and I devised a system to guarantee that you will not have a casual evening when someone says, " lets go for just one drink." It is called "The One Drink Rule!"
You are not allowed to leave until you have casually drank one drink, start to finish that has not been tampered with. That means if any of the following happens:
your drink gets spilt
your glass gets broken or smashed
anyone puts anything in your drink, extra straws, umbrellas, fruit, ice cubes, shots, peanuts, hands, ghb, anything, etc.
someone else feeds you your drink
someone else feeds you any drink
you drink someone elses drink
you drink out of a shoe
you drink out of a straw
the drink is a double or more
shot-gunning
beer bonging
or shots
all of the above is not considered one drink. All I am saying is to be careful when someone says lets just go for one drink, they might have rules like Robin and I.

Today in English Class
My mom is going back to school at age 45 or however young she is. I think its pretty cool that you can go to school at any age you want. You don't have to go as soon as you get out of highschool, like everyone suggests you do. She's taking English, Psychology, and Linguistic Anthropology. She was explaining to me some of the things she is learning in her classes and I didn't understand the simplest of it. I realized I don't know anything about grammar or sentence structure. In Gr.9 I hated my female English teacher, I despised her, and I didn't learn a god damn thing. In Gr.10 I had a bozo male teacher and didn't understand anything because of the year prior. Then in Gr.11 and 12 I took online English courses at the adult learning centre, so I could learn on my own while I was missing school for skiing. I didn't read one book cover to cover in all of highschool. I still managed to graduate with an 80% average and over 60 absentees. Today my mom showed me how she caught back up on her English before going back to school.

I learned more today from these simple childrens videos about grammar and sentence structure than four years of highschool. If I learned what I learned today, four years ago, I would have been something successful, like a doctor or a scientist, with money, a house, and a family. Thanks for everything public school system.
Bone Euro X
When it comes to techni-cal spinning both ways this run is absolutely insane. It blows my mind how talented Bone is at spinning both ways. He can spin, cork, flat, rodeo, switch, and double both ways.
