This weekend came and went in a blink of an eye… wow! this weekend was the justdrift staff snowboard day. I took  the Justdrift staff for a day of fun in Snowsummit in Bigbear Lake. We were missing a few since some have errands to do and can’t go. So.. it was Me, Henry, Chris, Mikey Whitey, Steven the new addition to the JD line up.

After a few runs.. the pack had to separate according to riding speed and preferrences. So Mikey and Jason rode together since they are fairly new. Not bad for Mikey – his 2nd time snowboarding and he got the landing from the lift down like Capt. Sully. Jason too… not bad at all.

 There’s Mikey Whitey sporting his all authentic JUSTDRIFT gear!

There’s Jason learning how to carve. He took a few falls but got up and kept trying! That’s the key… keep on trying until you get it. Cause.. you will.

Then Steve went to the park with Emma and spent most of his time there. Learning his new found skills in the jumps.

There’s Steve and Emma landing. Steve is assisting Emma off the lift.

While Flybert, Henry and I went to explore the mountains, canyons and ravines. Litterally… ravines.  The canyon run got old quick! It was too much effort for the joy you’re getting. The return of investment was really low! I dunno why I keep going down to the canyons. We did it last year too, and as far as I remember… it wasn’t fun at all! This year, the same thing!

This is one of our “touge” sessions.

Chris following me, Henry in front. On our way down on “Summit run” looking for Mikey and Jason. There was a lot of beginners on their asses that day. So we used them as an obstacle course and snake’m. Had to have fun right? I was there… I had to start somewhere. All of us had to start somewhere. 

We pretty much explored the mountain. From the left side to the right side… there are some there that I have never been to. I’m sure there are some that I have to find too. Well… I’ll save that for next time.

Our last adventure was park side… I’m gonna end this post with Chris’ highlight X-Games Snowboard freestyle picture.

That’s Chris, the mexican Shawn White!!!!!!!

You guessed it… We went back to Mammoth last weekend. After all the stormy days have cleared and the Mammoth Airport cleared the learjet for take off. We took off for Mammoth and got our share of the Sierras freshies best! Most of the runs were open and the line was not bad at all. I expected a really long wait and jammed pack lines. It seems like a weekday line. Not bad… While I hear bad stories about roads to Bear, Summit and Mountain High. We were having fun shredding.

Where’s everyone? Nobody’s here.. oh wait. They’re stuck in Bear or Mt High! lol… JK!

Going down Stump Alley.. That’s Kathy, Claire and Michelle. Look at the perfect condition “Blue bird day” at Mammoth. A storm is heading in though… So, we enjoyed the sun while it’s out.

Before going down Solitude… Had to stop for a pictorial. Smileeeey sign!

Grooming the ungroomed… Going down somewhere. I think this is Spook to Main. Lovin` it!

Just having fun in my break from Drifting. 2010 Season starts next month.

Hung and Steven sent me a shot of Steve’s subie up on the WSIR mountain roads for ORV. I was jealous… I had a meeting with WSIR people. After that, I went to the ORV park of WSIR and played with my Gx470. I was testing my new Yokohama Geolandar AT. THANKS MATT FROM YOKOHAMA/ADVAN!!! These tires are effin` awesome! Here are some shots of the GXlander working hardly on a steep mountain back trails of the same complex and race track we go drifting in.

What comes up.. must come down. UP RIGHT that is!

If I get to talk to Tiger today… I won’t ask him why he cheated. Nobody’s perfect… You know, fame… fortune… Everyone’s after him. But I’m gonna have to ask, WHY ARE THEY SO DAMN UGLY??!! Everyone has choices, but why did you chose them?? HAHAHAH SHIIIT… I expected more from you! Tiger!

We’re going to Bear tomorrow, can’t wait to shred. Getting gas then picking some stuff.

Well.. I wanted to sell my LS4 to make room in my garage. It’s been sitting in my driveway for quite awhile. It’s pretty damn low… So it’s hard to drive going up and down the driveways on such a long wheel base car. Plus… I look like a dad in this big 4 door. I wanted to sell it. Someone offered me even trade with a 2003 G35 coupe track edition or whatever it is. It’s 6MT and Brembo equipped. Sunroof and all the creature comforts of a street daily car. Well, it seems like I won’t have an extra space in my garage again. Cause.. a G will sit there. I won’t know if the deal is final until end of this week. For all you know, I’m getting it “JINX’d” talking about it here. I don’t really care much if the trade goes through or not. I’m happy with my LS as it is, I just needed room in my driveway. So I can roll in my S13.4 which needs a rebump right now. Keep tuned for the Z! It will be whining before you know it!

Well the snow came and left quick! But we got our itch fix for now. This will keep me going until… Well, yeah now I need to go again.  A quick October rain came through Mammoth and as a season pass holder. You can’t pass up on mud boarding. My excuse? Well… I have to pick up my season pass anyway. So… let’s go!

This locker room is usually crowded, but on the soft opening day… It was empty! It’s cool though. Lift lines wasn’t bad either!

My snowboarding students for the day, Kathy and Mich.  Free lessons! lol… in falling down and getting up! I hope they learn something from me! LOL…

Whew… that was a tough bomb ass run! or I mean roll…

Either you board down… or I push you down. Your choice…

 But either way, we’re going down! Meet me at the mall.. we’re going down.. Meet me at the Slope… we’re going down. Anywhere you meet me, I guarantee we’re going down!

OK.. enough resting. Get up and go! Rule number 1! Don’t sit around too long! Get up and go! Pain is just weakness leaving the body!

Paul getting his carve game on… Esses… Esses… Esses…

Did you bring me water? hmm… food? oh… Tuna sandwich?!

Weak sauce… I have to take a picture of myself! So settle for this weak shot! lol..

Yeahhhhh…. She learned to board!!! See.. sorta good teacher.

Well… expect more snowboard updates when a good storm comes down. Drift season is now over! Few months break. I mean not really, but at least snow is coming soon!

Damn! What happened? I Haven’t updated for a month. Well… a lot has been going on. There was TOPDRIFT last week and there was the Drift Clinic. Then there’s my work! I was all over too.. I spent almost a week in Ventura for a Network upgrade. Then last week I went to Bakersfield and Corona Office. Just seems a lot been going on lately, I haven’t updated my blog. Sorrrrrrrryyyyyyy!! Oh.. and Antonio from Motormavens ask me to get  Twit! I can’t keep up with all these!  Well.. also weekends in Vegas will get you killed! I’ll update that when I get the pictures up! Meanwhile, enjoy your Monday!

Oh, I have a very interesting project for X’mas. We do this yearly, but this year the economy is bad. So I want to make it a little better for the less fortunate kids. We’re going to partner up with some sponsors for a X’mas Toy Drive! Keep tuned!

Traffic sucked at the 15 by Barstow! FAIL! But yeah, time for some photo snaps! Oh, you can see Ton, Paul and friends in that Honda Accord behind us!
