Backyard Shred

Chrsitian wasn't feeling going up to Snowbird today so we did some backyard shred. He is getting tricky. He rode down the back of the hill where we made steps and also ollied off the top and tail pressed down and then rode it out. I am thinking next year to have him riding tram with me?

Jorgensen Family Shred Day

My dad got us all a couple day passes to snowbird for Christmas this year so we had Jorgensen Family Shred Day last week on Thursday. It was bluebird with about a foot of fresh in some places! Weather and conditions were perfect. We had the usuall 40-60 mph wind gusts on the peak but no worries. The girls got tired after about 1:30 so the boys kept shredding. Todd joined up with us at the end of the day and took us through some sick lines on Great Scott. It was super nice, all wind buffed at the top and some soft stuff toward the bottom. On the last run, me, Todd, and my dad all ended up sommersalting at the bottom. It was like dominos. Thanks again for the sick day dad!

SHRED DAY

So I know it is lame with no pics but we are guys and don't think to do that kind of stuff. But Me and Christian went up and shredded Chikadee at the bird today. It was super nice up their out of the smog. Christian was stoked cause he did an ollie today and landed it! I have been out of work now for a couple weeks. It's been awesome. Just wish I had some cash to be able to actually enjoy it a bit more.

Shredding with Christian

These are some pics from late spring 08 at the bird. We have only been up once this year but there hasn't been much snow yet.

We haven't been doing much lately, so I will post something old. Me and Nathan went skating about a month or so ago at SoJo and I snuck a pic of him chillin.

Ramp Ban Meeting

The ramp controversy continues.... On December 7th there will be a small meeting at the SL County Environmental Health office open to current ramp owners. While there will be other public meetings in the future this is a smaller one for ramp owners to sit down and try and work something out. We did some audio tests and while ramps do push the boundries of acceptable levels, so do backboards. Because of this our feeling is as long as backboards are legal ramps should be as well. After all, they are both above ground, repetitive activities. If you have a ramp and would like to attend contact 801.313.6644 for exact time.
