It’s Not Ski Bowl but…

I really had high hopes for this season, even hailing it as the BEST EVER but I swear, it's almost like there is some greater force trying to prevent me from riding lately. You may remember the pass-pulling incident of 2010. That didn't help things. Then it turns out the "Super Value" element of my Ski Bowl pass is actually sort of annoying, seeing as today seemed like a mighty nice day to snowboarding in honor of MLK, but alas, it's blacked out. I've concocted a scheme to get tickets at Tline by giving them coverage. The only thing, I'm trying to make it look good up there and every…

Never Been Done!

Now that I've got this snazzy new site, I guess I'd better produce some fresh content, right? Well luckily, I've got a GoPro and I'm not afraid to use it, so I present another epic Ski Bowl edit! Today Jared slid his first box, which sounds kinda dirty if your mind is in the gutter. But really, it was wholesome fun for the whole family and inspired me to also do some unlikely stunting, such sliding as park boxes you couldn't just ride on to. It didn't go as poorly as I had expected, and I might be getting into this "park" business, even though I once wrote about how…

5 Things: October 24, 2009

Wow, it was a slow news week. The balloon boy turned out to be a hoax, and reports of "Michael Jackson ordering take out" were unfounded. I really had to scrounge around the internet to even find 5 things I found important/interesting this week. But I did it, because this is how I give my life meaning and purpose. Here goes: 1. Montana football coach can't take a joke the truth. In my line of work, I am well aware that some people have no sense of humor. Then Ian tuned me into this story about his alma matter. University of Montana football coach Bobby Hauck is leading his team…

What I Learned in J School

My college years were mostly spent at Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA, (pictured above from my Polaroid phase), which was most importantly, in the shadow of Mt. Baker. I will be completely honestly, the proximity to epic shredding was way more a factor in my decision of where to go to college than the actual curriculum. It just so happened, however, that Western actually had a decent journalism program (at least, according to them.) But seriously, the program turned out an award-winning bi-weekly newspaper and even taught a know-it-all-like me a thing or two. Of course, that was before the print media started to crash, and back then the…

5 Interesting/Important Things: Oct 17, 2009

As the internet buzz wears off from the stupid Burton drama, I can't help but realize even further how unimportant action sports are. So I've decided in order to add meaning to my life as an extreme journalist, I am going to start recapping things in the world that actually mattered (or were at least interesting) every week. Here's what made the cut this week. 1. Balloon boy! Is he in the balloon? Is he dead? Was it a hoax? Was it the parent's fault? So many questions, so much wasted time. I too found myself transfixed, watching the live feed of young Falcon, allegedly careening over Colorado in a…

Things I am Good at Part 2: Money Management

someday, this could all be yours! I find it simply astounding that at no point in our lives as freedom-loving, all-consuming Americans, we are not taught how to manage money. Sure, some of us are, thanks to our parents, but in between phys ed and beginner French, schools don't bother to say hey: here's how to make a budget and manage your money. Luckily, I have a blog where I share my thoughts and happen to be pretty good at it, so for you, my huge readership, here's my take on it. Now first off you should know, being an extreme journalist is not as glamorous as it sounds. I…

5 Things This Week that were more Important/Interesting than Snowboarding

If there is one thing this week has proven to me, it's that people take snowboarding WAY too seriously. Don't get me wrong, I love snowboarding. It is a fun way so spend time during the winter months, an amazing excuse to travel, a bond I share with some of my best friends, and also a major source of income for me over the past years. But let's be realistic. It's only snowboarding. We are riding toys down mountains. It's not exactly the most important thing in the world. So in light of that, here's my list of things that have happened just this week that are more interesting/important than…

My friend thought he was going to get fired, so i did. -Then i wrote this https://brookegeery.com/?p=687 -the same kids at Burton turned it into a Burton bash fest thanks to their stupid comments - so Jared wrote this http://www.jaredsouney.com/2009/10/burton-snowboards-control-denied/ -and a few other bloggers have written about it as well.. -Todd Richards even weighed in http://www.yobeat.com/2009/10/feelings-with-todd-richards/ -I talked to my friend, who had smoothed things out.

It’s Not Ski Bowl but…

I really had high hopes for this season, even hailing it as the BEST EVER but I swear, it's almost like there is some greater force trying to prevent me from riding lately. You may remember the pass-pulling incident of 2010. That didn't help things. Then it turns out the "Super Value" element of my Ski Bowl pass is actually sort of annoying, seeing as today seemed like a mighty nice day to snowboarding in honor of MLK, but alas, it's blacked out. I've concocted a scheme to get tickets at Tline by giving them coverage. The only thing, I'm trying to make it look good up there and every…

Never Been Done!

Now that I've got this snazzy new site, I guess I'd better produce some fresh content, right? Well luckily, I've got a GoPro and I'm not afraid to use it, so I present another epic Ski Bowl edit! Today Jared slid his first box, which sounds kinda dirty if your mind is in the gutter. But really, it was wholesome fun for the whole family and inspired me to also do some unlikely stunting, such sliding as park boxes you couldn't just ride on to. It didn't go as poorly as I had expected, and I might be getting into this "park" business, even though I once wrote about how…

5 Things: October 24, 2009

Wow, it was a slow news week. The balloon boy turned out to be a hoax, and reports of "Michael Jackson ordering take out" were unfounded. I really had to scrounge around the internet to even find 5 things I found important/interesting this week. But I did it, because this is how I give my life meaning and purpose. Here goes: 1. Montana football coach can't take a joke the truth. In my line of work, I am well aware that some people have no sense of humor. Then Ian tuned me into this story about his alma matter. University of Montana football coach Bobby Hauck is leading his team…

What I Learned in J School

My college years were mostly spent at Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA, (pictured above from my Polaroid phase), which was most importantly, in the shadow of Mt. Baker. I will be completely honestly, the proximity to epic shredding was way more a factor in my decision of where to go to college than the actual curriculum. It just so happened, however, that Western actually had a decent journalism program (at least, according to them.) But seriously, the program turned out an award-winning bi-weekly newspaper and even taught a know-it-all-like me a thing or two. Of course, that was before the print media started to crash, and back then the…

5 Interesting/Important Things: Oct 17, 2009

As the internet buzz wears off from the stupid Burton drama, I can't help but realize even further how unimportant action sports are. So I've decided in order to add meaning to my life as an extreme journalist, I am going to start recapping things in the world that actually mattered (or were at least interesting) every week. Here's what made the cut this week. 1. Balloon boy! Is he in the balloon? Is he dead? Was it a hoax? Was it the parent's fault? So many questions, so much wasted time. I too found myself transfixed, watching the live feed of young Falcon, allegedly careening over Colorado in a…

Things I am Good at Part 2: Money Management

someday, this could all be yours! I find it simply astounding that at no point in our lives as freedom-loving, all-consuming Americans, we are not taught how to manage money. Sure, some of us are, thanks to our parents, but in between phys ed and beginner French, schools don't bother to say hey: here's how to make a budget and manage your money. Luckily, I have a blog where I share my thoughts and happen to be pretty good at it, so for you, my huge readership, here's my take on it. Now first off you should know, being an extreme journalist is not as glamorous as it sounds. I…

5 Things This Week that were more Important/Interesting than Snowboarding

If there is one thing this week has proven to me, it's that people take snowboarding WAY too seriously. Don't get me wrong, I love snowboarding. It is a fun way so spend time during the winter months, an amazing excuse to travel, a bond I share with some of my best friends, and also a major source of income for me over the past years. But let's be realistic. It's only snowboarding. We are riding toys down mountains. It's not exactly the most important thing in the world. So in light of that, here's my list of things that have happened just this week that are more interesting/important than…
