Road Trip Day One

In Uncategorized on April 24, 2012 at 5:12 AM

It’s time for the Road Trip at the end of the season to get all of Jenn’s college stuff back home for the summer in Vermont.

The car had to come home too so naturally we drove it the 1800 miles to Vermont.

I dont really want to give a running commentary of the trip but i have to say it was pretty fun! I would defiantly do it again, it’s fun to try and plan the whole trip and co-ordinate all the stops and breaks.

We drove from Colorado, through Nebraska and stayed the night in Iowa.

Here are a bunch of photo’s that i took along the way which hopefully tell the story.

Snowmobiling Vail Pass

In Uncategorized on April 11, 2012 at 9:48 AM

Ever since Dad told me he was coming over to visit i said that we had to go snowmobiling up at the Vail pass. So today was the day that myself, Dad and Jenn went out.

It was nearly 60 degree’s fahrenheit and not a breath of wind. A perfect day really!

We got lucky because today was the last day that you could go out.

We got two hours to pretty much do whatever we wanted and go as fast as we could. The tracks where a little bare in some spots but mostly there was heaps of snow. It was nice and firm in the morning and then as the two hours came to an end it was pretty soft.

One of the awesome views we got.

Jenn cooling off, both the snowmobile and herself.

Dad turning her around

Cooling them off.

This was my sled, pretty good i must say!

USASA Nationals

In Uncategorized on April 7, 2012 at 11:10 AM

Sorry for the lack of posts lately but there really hasn’t been much going on since I got back from London.

But the other day I competed in the USASA Nationals which is probably the biggest Amateur contest in the USA.

We started really early which wasn’t fun and the pipe was really icy but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I went for it on my first run and fell but i was fine with that I knew my safety run would be enough to make Finals so I pulled that out in my second run and it landed me in 5th place so I was into the Finals with a score of 77.3.

Finals came around and I just went for it. There was no holding back, I had done what I came I do which was make finals. Both runs I fell on a backside 900 which I wasn’t happy about because I didn’t fall on any all week leading upto the competition. But I’m happy I got a good result.

London Day 2

In Uncategorized on March 19, 2012 at 6:04 AM

I woke up and was surprised that it was sunny.
Our first mission was to go and check out Buckingham Palace of course.
I was pretty surprised at how nice everything was around this area.

The walk upto Westminster Abbey wasn’t too far so that wasn’t too bad.

Westminster Abbey

I’m not too sure what this is. I think the House of Paliament?

We’ve been taking the subway everywhere and this is unusual seeing one almost above ground.

And we hit up the aquarium which was really sweet one of the better aquariums I’ve been to.

We are so tired from walking round all day so it’s time to relax!
