Gun Smoke

comradescrew — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 03:22:33 +0000

Yesterday we had to drop Josh off at the airport, we had some time to kill so we jumped off the I-70 and popped into Gun Smoke. They have a show on Discovery channel called American Guns where they buy and sell guns and custom make guns. It’s a pretty sweet show!

This is the main guy in the show. He owns the shop with his wife and two kids who are the main characters.

Some of the guns in here are pretty incredible, look at this custom Barrett 50 calibre rifle.

A handgun with a scope?

What about two silver hand guns?

And anything else you could want/need

Was a cool experience and anyone that’s driving along I-70 to the mountains should go check it out.

Copper Mtn Pow day + Boardercross.

We have been getting a lot of snow over here in Colorado which is good because we really need it.
Over the weekend Josh had a boarder cross race at Copper so what better opportunity to try out my new Salomon Powder Snake?

We where really excited to shred some pow.

Josh ended up coming around 18th which is really goodie such a tough contest.

Back in Colorado.

I’ve been back in Colorado for a few days now and it’s been snowing ever since we got here. It’s good because we really need some snow but makes it hard to train.

I rode the park a little the other day and had a really fun day with my friend Jason Maxfield.

Also here are some photos from Northstar that I didn’t add before.

Hope you enjoyed!

Yesterday in the pipe I learnt frontside 1080′s.
I’m just waiting to get the footage from my coach so in the mean time here is a photo my friend Joe took.

Hopefully I’ll be able to post the video soon.

The dogs

It’s always nice going to the Cohen household in Vermont. It’s not the home cooked meals or the pool table in the basement. It’s the dogs! And Jenn has seven of them!
Sounds pretty crazy right?
They all have their own personalities and it’s pretty sweet just to watch them.

This is Spot, he is the oldest of them all and is really like the grandpa… He is deaf and when someone isn’t home he will sit at the front door waiting.

This is Bailey, he doesn’t really like me. He will bark at me and won’t let me pet him. He licked me one time which I was told means he likes me… But he doesn’t.

And there is Chip who is pretty quiet and likes everyone.

Buddy who is also kind of quiet but is one of the cutest.
He is kind of cheeky and loves to get into the car.

This is Gracey she is kind of the boss. When she bark’s everyone bark’s and if she is sleeping on the couch and you put the ball next to her, no one will touch it.
I wonder what she did to become the boss?

Now for Cassie… She has heaps of energy and always tries to steal Goldie’s ball and doesn’t give it back, Just to be mean. Her fur is so nice!!

I save the best for last. This is Goldie the newest addition to the family. And my personal favorite
She has more energy than anyone and always wants to play fetch. Even if she has a ball in her mouth she will try to pick up another one.

Stratton Mountain

comradescrew — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:04:19 +0000

Yesterday we went up for a fun day at Stratton. It was probably the only sunny day that we have had while in Vermont so we made good use of it.

Stratton is a pretty sweet resort it’s a lot like skiing in Australia. The snow is usually icy and a lot of it is man made.
They had a little park set up but really it was nothing amazing at all… No jumps which was disappointing.

Fireworks!!

comradescrew — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 01:24:51 +0000

Today after doing a few runs up at Stratton. Saul and I headed down to New Hampshire and visited a little fireworks shop… And by little I mean the biggest I’ve seen!

There are two fireworks shops one next to another and they both try to outdo the other offering buy one get one on everything!

Have a look how big it is.

We got a few fireworks.
