Untitled Book Introduction

    A few years ago some friends and people of influence urged me to write a book about my times as being a snowboard bum. They wanted it to be part guide and part introspective look at what it means to take the road less traveled. I've worked on it, on and off when I can as writing a book is a lot different than making YouTube videos, writing satire or product reviews, or just telling people they're fucktards in the comment section of a website. For you loyal patrons I wanted to give you a look at something different. Here's the raw introduction to a book I have yet to title. It's part Lloyd Kaufman from Troma Films and part Jim Carrol from the Basketball Diaries. If it's something you think that you would read leave a comment, if it's crap leave a comment. Either way the book is part of something I've been working on and as I promised in the Black Friday Live Stream, you guys will be the first to check it out.

                                                Introduction

“The journey is the reward because the destination is always the same.”
Quack Quack Quack... Quack Quack Quack... The alarm on my iPhone goes off. The room is dark with only a sliver of light creeping in between my blinds and the old blue blanket I'm using as a curtain.[/size]
Is it Tuesday? No it's Thursday? Wait it's Monday! Days have no meaning anymore, I roll over and hit the snooze button on the alarm, fuck you cyber duck you will not get me out of bed this early. My phone informs me it is 6:28 a.m and it's Wednesday. Damn I was completely off, I pull my pillow closer and try to fall back asleep. Unfortunately this return to slumber is interrupted by the sound of an explosion. [/size]
BOOM! There it is.

Ski patrol is getting after it early, this means today isn't going to suck, then again every day seems to not suck in this snow globe I call home. Some like to use the expression of 'my life is better than your vacation', sadly they don't know they're just longer term tourists in this town than the people they mock.
As I attempt to stretch and get ready to get out of bed I'm joined by my old friends Snap, Crackle, and Pop. No, not the elves from Rice Crispies, but the sounds my deteriorating joints make from all the abuse I've put on them. What is this day 63 without a day off? Who knows anymore? I stopped counting or caring, I just know I have two hours to get ready for first chair, because today as mentioned, will not suck.
Boom! There's another explosion, this one slightly rattles the condo window. I slowly rise up and roll to the left side of my bed to peer out the window. It's flat light outside and the snow is barely coming down. [/size]
Yellow lenses. That's all I can think as I proceed to push myself off the bed and walk out of my bedroom to the bathroom. Fumbling for the light switch I clumsily miss it twice.
Flick. A wave of neon light comes over the small cramped little bathroom and I stare at myself in the mirror.
My tan line starts mid way up my nose and dips down across my cheeks then up to my ears. Is it really a tan line I wonder. It's probably just wind burn, I'm probably going to get skin cancer.  Fuck it, we all die sometime.  Is that leprosy on my face? Oh it's just frostbite.
After going through my typical morning routine in the bathroom I return to my warm bed, it's started getting cold. The condo is cold, I should probably turn up the heat. Thank god that bill is included in my rent.
I open my phone and check the snow report, 11 inches in the last 24 hours, 7 of which fell over night. 28 inches in the last 48. Today is not going to suck.
Facebook informs me who of my friends will be riding where. Suckers, everyone knows Keystone never gets what they report, go to A-Basin you twats. I'll go ride Breck and be fine. Courtney texts me and asks if I'll be at first chair. She already knows the answer, but this is our morning routine and I don't want to break up this monotony.
I peel myself off the bed for the second time, it's getting easier. CRACK! There goes my right knee, I should probably go see a doctor about that. Fuck it, that's money I don't have; until it requires surgery I'll ignore it.
I gimp down the hall and into the kitchen/living room area. It's dark. I walk past a stack of snowboards that I'm supposed to be testing, fuck those things I'll deal with them later. I stride across the living room and pull back the curtain on the sliding door. Flat white light cascades across the condo brightening the room and showing that nothing has been disturbed from the night before. Great, no one showed up drunk from the bar and crashed here. Today is not going to suck.
I bend down and sit on the floor. Time for the daily routine of simple yoga moves that help limber me up. Stretch the right leg, stretch the left, downward facing dog, breath in and breath out. Repeat this for 20 minutes. Stand up and do a few more stretches, then make my way over to the inversion table. Climb on this device that looks like something Adrian Grey would have in his little sex dungeon. My feet are locked in, time to go upside down.
Clank! I hit the backstop with just enough force to wake me up a little bit more. The blood rushes to my head, thank god for this gift. It's saved my back so many times. I lay there and hang for a few minutes staring out the sliding door at the snow coming down. Today is not going to suck.
I return back to a standing position on the table. My cell phone vibrates it's a text from Tylor asking if he can us my parking pass. I text back for him to use it. Phone says it's now 7:50. Fuck running behind. I opt out of eating a real breakfast and go to put my gear on.
I labor through the exercise of putting on all my gear, it's going to be cold today. Guess I'm wearing my puffy jacket. Today is not going to suck.
One final check around the kitchen counter to make sure I have everything I need. I look set and turn the music on on my iPhone. Slayer, Rain in Blood. Today is not going to suck.
I open the condo door only to be greeted by a blast of arctic air to my face. To say it's cold is an understatement. This is the type of  weather that keeps the snow light and blower. Today is not going to suck.
Walking to the bus, I see at least 30 people waiting. I check my phone, 10 minutes for the next bus. Fuck that noise I'll walk, it'll warm me up. I start the short walk to the base area and my phone vibrates, Courtney is texting me asking where I am. I ignore it, I'll see her soon enough. Today is not going to suck.
I walk up the stairs to the base area of Peak 8 at Breckenridge taking them two at a time. As I ascend I look to my right and see Courtney is there waiting for me, she's ready to ride. Awesome there's less than 10 people in the lift line already. Today is not going to suck.
We exchange our morning pleasantries while strapping into our snowboards. We both know today is not going to suck. As we skate through the lift line we're greeted by one of the faceless snow carnies operating the ticket scanning guns. The scanner puts the gun up to us and we hear that familiar beep-beep sound as our passes RF chip is processed, we're good to go. We won't be back to this base area for hours and this will probably be the only record the resort has we were ever here. Today is not going to suck.
As we wait at the edge of the rope telling us the lift isn't loading the snow comes cascading down. Just as Courtney looks to me I see the lift operator coming out of his shack signaling that it is go time. No time to pull the rope up for everyone else, we duck it and skate onto the lift. Sucks to suck fellas but  we did it, we got first chair again. This feat never gets any less fulfilling regardless of how many times I do it. Today is not going to suck.
We depart the top of the Colorado Super Chair and skate off to the left. Without skipping a beat we strap in our back feet to our bindings and Courtney looks at me and says, “lead on”. With that we're off and within 25 feet of strapping in we're slashing knee deep blower pow. That first deep turn I'm blasted in my face with some of the lightest snow I've ever ridden. I choke on it as it enters my windpipe. As I catch my breath I'm hit with another white cascading face shot and then another. This continues till we hit the chairlift at the bottom and my smile goes from ear to ear. I was right, today did not suck!  [/size]
This is what passed as a normal day for me during the 2013-2014 season in Breckenridge, Colorado. Every day it was met with fresh snow, fresh faces, and fatigue. I rode more powder that year than any I can ever remember. That season will forever be talked about as one of the best ever.
To some this would seem like I was truly living the dream. The dream perpetuated by movies idolizing fictional characters like TJ Burke and Rick Rambis who live in glamorized situations. The dream marketed on magazine covers and in countless articles. The dream that is sold to every person that takes part in recreational winter activities. The dream used as an enticement tool by resorts to secure their seasonal workers.
The truth is attaining the dream is the easy part it's actually living it that will test the very being of your moral fiber. It's a fine line between a dream and a nightmare. This is something that I've learned from riding the roller coaster of ski town life. The trials and tribulations you'll encounter aren't any different than anyone before you, it's how you deal with it that will set you apart. Are you going to be a one and done seasonal snow carney or are you a lifer who will eventually be able to look back on a life that went down the alternate path and was well led. I don't know, I just know what has and hasn't worked for me to get to where I'm at.

как-то не впечатлило 

[Sveaman]

Да, чушь какая-то.

[Tantin]

Энгри вообще странный. При каждом удобном случае поливает говном чуваков из Гудрайда, при этом сам - ленивая жопа. Разрекламировал, что в этом сезоне сделает видео обзоры, в итоге зафакапил  И вместо того чтобы извиниться и как-то прояснить ситуацию - открыто посылает всех, кто спрашивает.

[Sveaman]

 открыто посылает всех, кто спрашивает.

ну он же энгри)))

Прям хорошо!

[Per4eg]

Всем привет. и с открытием =)

[rst]

я весь скилл (которого и так немного было))) ) за лето растерял

[Густь]

Вообсчем задолбавшись продавать фристайловую доску (юнити ориджин 156) решил я попробовать всякий фристайл. Вкосячил крепы на +12/-12 и поехал в Сорочаны. Катание неправильной ногой вперед стало как то получаться к концу 2го часа, вращения по склону выходят на раз, всякие тайл и ноуз прессы - ну никак. Хотя видео смотрел и на месте вроде получается. Но, главное - оказалось, что 156 доска под тушкой 87 кг вполне нормально карвит. В лайтовом режиме, без экстримальных нагрузок

[AndrewH3]

в даке удобно карвить?

[Sveaman]

Прессы удобно на мягкой доске учить, причём дома на ковре)

[Густь]

Я особого неудобства не испытывал. Не, понятно, что в бэке укладку не сделаешь, но, в принципе, я катал когда то на 45/35 и постепенно ушел на типа 25/5 и мне так более комфортно

Я в огороде на листе ЦСП тренирую Там получается, на склоне-фик

[garikgarik]

умеючи можно и в направленной в свиче на жесткой карвить

кстати, в свиче на жесткой доске могул еще не видел

[Chazm]

Божечки, открыл наконец.

Ещё бы теепрь минус был, а то свинорой с первых минут.

[Привет]

А ни у кого под рукой не завалялось актуальной ссылочки на скиру либо на другие (можно забугорные) ресурсы насчет измерения скорости по жпс.

 

Очень хочется просветить одного опытного бордера, у которого уже сезонов 10 за плечами чуть ли не навсех континентах, вылазки во фрирайд итд итд итд. 

 

Нужны железные аргументы

Я вчера тоже кое-как катнул, но уже снежок того... пропитан водой был. А вот в субботу на беговых - отлично.

Было отвергнуто, что статья 2007 года старая, уже 10 лет прошло, "датчики уже в телефонах уже новые другие и точность определения куда выше, бла-бла-бла"
