Hey Donnie... Do you know how to smile man??? HAHA. You have such a straight face in those pics. Looks like an awesome time though. Just the scenery is enough to make you feel on top of the world.
Good **** man, good ****.

Went to Okunakayama today with a group from my shop.. The day started of very windy and snowy with clouds at the Peak. Later a blast of sun came in .. sadly I left my camera back at the bottom.. was such a view with the sun breaking through the clouds. Here are some shots I managed to get from the day.

I hit up two mountains this weekend.

Small video with pictures from some of my guys and myself today at Mt Makado In Northern Japan. Nothing spectacular. Great riding all day...including the blizzard that hit later on while we were up top.

( video is only 3:05 in length the rest is pictures and music.

Old Setup

1998 156 Burton Balance
2009 Rossingold bindings
AirWalk Boots
Gortex DCU's


Time to replace the 12 year old board and mediocre setup I have been running. I pretty much have been boarding every weekend since coming back and the skills have gone up significantly. I have tried many settings with my last setup and... It was holding me back.. I will still keep the board though as it performed well at Hokkoda in the powder. The new board is Freestyle/Park board....

I road a buddies new board and OMG that board seriously allowed me to do **** I could never do on my Burton Balance that was made in 1998.


The DCU's were cool but only when I was the only Gi I seen with them on..... time for some new threads also.

Got this sweet 156 Salomon Drift Board for $138 shipped new from REI.com... retail is about 450 to 500.

156 Salomon Drift 2008-09
Burton Boots
Burton pants and coat
Burton Mission WTF Bindings
