X GAMES update

The first night of X GAMES practice was yesterday. Since practice didn't start till 7pm I had a very leisurely day, took and nap, ate lunch, hot tub, etc. Maddy and I also went and found this super chill spot right behind out house, Maddy played the bongos and I did backies! Haha it was a pretty fun afternoon. Thanks to coach Rick for the photo

 Then it was off to pipe practice, the pipe is amazing as always for X Games. Here is Arielle, (pronounced R-EE-ELLE), staring down the monster.

Then I woke up early this morning and drove to Gypsum High School with my North Face teammate Kaitlyn Farrington. We spent the morning talking to students about their effect on OUR planet as part of the POW organization, (http://protectourwinters.org/ ). That went really well, met a few cool kids and signed a bunch of autographs. More importantly we tuned kids into what is happening to our planet.

 

We have another practice session this evening and then semis on Thursday!! Wish me luck!

Getting XTREME this week!

X GAMES is upon us!!! I moved down from my house in Breck to Aspen last night. Our first practice is tonight and I must say I am feeling a few contest jitters already. That being said I had an awesome last week riding Breck and got my runs dialed in with some big new tricks. Gotta say thanks alot to Breckenridge for giving me and the rest of the US Snowboard Team private pipe time with snowmobiles so that we could practice. Coming in clutch, thanks alot guys!! Can anyone guess this trick below?

 On another note, I just got a fresh new stack of my 2014 Zion Z1's !! They are looking REALLY sick. I stickered this one up last night! You can see the base if you tune in and watch Mens Pipe Semis on Thursday night, go to http://xgames.espn.go.com/events/2013/aspen/schedule/ for the full live TV Schedule.
