Rehab Part 2

Watching TV, reading books, surfing the net, answer emails and browsing Decline magazines will only starve off insanity for so long. I tried fishing from the end of the dock a couple of days this week. The view is amazing but fishing from the end of a dock is not too much fun. I caught a couple of bass and then decided to work on my long cast. Basically I see how far I can cast my hook away from the dock with no real intention to reel in the big fish. Every once and a while I still manage to get a bite and then reel in the monster bass.

I then came up with the answer to my problems, it started out with a question: “What is more fun than guns?” Sure biking, working out, cliff jumping and fornicating are a lot more fun. But with a broken back I can only manage one of these things. So I went to search for the family pellet guns. My mom was totally against this, but after asking her a single question I had narrowed the location of the guns down to two locations. I found the guns, the only problem was the bag will the assortment of bullets in it was too heavy for me to lift. Damn broken back foiled me again. My dad got home and actually was into the pellet gun shoot off idea so we set up a range in the garden.

We started out with cans but got bored of that pretty quick. We are not shooting at playing cards nailed to a big sheet of plywood. Tomorrow I plan on finding something smaller and finding something more powerful than my pellet gun.

 

Adult supervision is required when handling a fire arm. If you are not an adult make sure a responsible adult is present while shooting. Since my father and I do not qualify as responsible my mom was there to make sure we did not start hunting each other.

  

And if you are injured do what ever you can to have fun and stay sane.

Note: no fish were harmed today, if I manage to catch bigger ones tomorrow we will eat them, they are delicious.

Rehab

A couple of weeks ago I got a package in the mail that was too heavy for me to lift. I currently have a 5-10 lbs maximum load sticker down my spine. The package was from Banshee family friend Strahan Loken and contained Decline magazines from the past two or three years.

I have to stop watching bike videos and looking at the magazines. If I do not get on a bike soon I am going to go crazy. 

Here is some proof that I am up and walking. There is still some pain in my back, almost like a numbness a lot of the time.

I can not wait until I am ready to get back on a bike. It will be a long three or four months, but thanks to friends like Strahan it should not be so bad.

Thanks to the Harlok boys …

Ace in Whistler

Hey dudes,

I haven't posted for a bit been, I have pretty busy having way to much fun riding and a little less fun working. This summer has been all time forsure so far, so many new friends and alot of good times. Jack Fogelquist and Iggy Strbac have been staying at my place quite a bit along with a bunch of other homies, their both super rad dudes, maybe the fact that their both on ballin Banshees has something to do with it... I also met Keith when he stopped in at work the other day, Such a sick guy. Been shredding so much getting ready for crankworx and looking for some good results, I know Iggy and Jack are too! Heres a few go pro clips from my favourite trail combo. Upper a-line-pizza cat-crack addict-heart of darkness.

Goatstyle 2010 - Larock

I am not sure how this gem slipped through my fingers. It may have been the week in hospital and it may have already been posted here. And if it has been posted then you should watch it again.

North Shore Bike Shop

If this does not make you want a Rampant there is something wrong wit you. If it does not make you want to at least ride your bike you might want to see a doctor. After watching that I am itching to get back on my bike and I just had back surgery. Jay, Keith … can you guys make me a recumbent Rampant with extra back support?

Healthy Back Tips

I got a bunch of documentation to go with the staples down my back. I will not bore you with the first eight post surgery healthy back tips. I will give you number nine and a shot of my not so healthy back.

9. Sexual activity can usually be resumed while your back is healing as long as it does not cause pain. Please discuss this with your surgeon. You may need to wear your brace and try different positions to see which is most comfortable.

So try some healthy back sexual positions … tonight …

Red Bull Dirt Pipe

About 3 months ago i received a phone call from the editor of [R]evolution magazine , Australia's leading gravity mag. The mission was 5 riders 3 photographers and 3 days at Redbull's famous Dirtpipe. When we all first rolled into the place and looked at the giant pipe the first thing i noticed is this thing is way bigger then any picture or video makes it look. Its a lot steeper then i thought it would be. The owner Mitch built the pipe as close as he could to a snowboard super pipe. So to see it in dirt was an amazing site and huge props Mitchell Smith and his crew that built it. The speed needed to get out of the pipe and make the jumps was also a surprise, you had to be going warp speed at some place especially the hips at the bottom which were the most fun. I spent most of my time just hitting the hips cause there is nothing better to float over then a huge boosty hip. Anyway the magazine is out so here are some shots of the trip. Get [R]evolution v20 for the full story.

Camp of Champions Wrap Up!

Well Camp of Champions have wrapped things up for another year, and i got to say what a year it was. The park was in awsome shape, a little dry at the end but the bike park crew kept things in good condition. New this year was the Camp of Champs compound which saw crazy sessions every night. As great as it was it sure made you beat by the end of the day and riding for a potential 12 hours a day for 4 weeks will drain anyone. But cant complain the last two weeks of camp went smoothly and more and more campers were learning flips and other tricks on the airbag then to mulch every day. Here are some shots of my experience from the camp :)
