to this day I still refer to blue as the Boot. on weekdays you can hear me singing Riders of the Boot by the Doors on the lift

if you are wondering what happened to Travis Kennedy: https://yobeat.com/2016/01/20/travis-kennedy-has-seen-some-shit-on-hump-day/ its a shame cause dude was one of the top pros in the industry

Boznutz was the first team rider for Neff back in the early 2000's. i thought i was the shit wearing that stuff back in high school before anyone had ever heard of it. now people who have never even stepped on a snowboard wear it lol

before and after i remember DHarrisburg going on a rant about how Boznutz had everything handed to him in the snowboarding world but choose to get high instead

i see he got arrested back in March in Park City for threatening his neighbors with a gun https://www.snowboarder.com/news/former-professional-snowboarder-nate-bozung-arrested-following-standoff-park-city/

yup its the same guy. as a teenager he was supposed to be the future michael jordan of snowboarding

scranton's own Eddie Wall has some legendary stories about Travis Kennedy's partying. unfortunately he's spent the past 8 years in and out of state prison while eddie wall is an editor for transworld i believe

i still have an old Jeenyus banner hanging at my parents house lol. plus a scroll saw cut out of the Jeenyus logo I made in shop class 10th grade lol

Nate Bozung was supossed to be the next king of snowboarding smh

Montage Mountain's own Eddie Wall King of the backcountry Devun Walsh

Antman posting his JP Walker pro model got me reminising about the Forum/Special Blend/Foursquare/Jeenyus years and what monsters were on that team. JP Walker, Joni Malmi, Jeremy Jones, Chris Dufficy, Peter Line, Wille, Bjorn, Chad Otterstrom, Lauri Heiskari, Travis Kennedy (damn shame what happened to him), Eddie Wall, pat moore, devun walsh, and a bunch I can't remember. Those guys were my idols as a teenager. I can't think of any brands that had the team that these brands did. plus all the legendary videos...Tru Life, The Resistance, Video Gangs, THAT. My user name is cause of these guys

edit: what the hell is going on with the mobile site

If you have to pass more than 3 yard sales on your way to get somewhere, its probably not a place that is worth traveling to.

Disclaimer: this is not an attack on anyone on this site. Just my opinion on New Jersey (opinions are like assholes, everyone has one). Also, i have lived in NJ so there is a little experience there as well. Reasons why Kansas is better than NJ: 1. NJ has statistically one of the most corrupt state police forces in America. despite their claim of being a progressive haven, NJ has the second most marijuana arrests in all of America 2. There is not a single state in America with worse urban areas than NJ. 3. The Jersey shore is the second worst beaches in America after Delaware. Hell, even the NYC beaches are significantly cleaner, have classier people, dont cost money, have alot more diversity, have access to public transportation, and have significantly less syringes than New Jersey beaches. Im the second trashiest person on this site, yet even I get disgusted at the thought of the Jersey shore. You feel like you are in Walmart or Dollar General. Also, Jersey shore government officials on the taxpayers dime think its okay to gang up and beat the shit out of innocent women on the beach. 4. Chris Christie (yes, i know he's no longer governor and yes I know the Kansas governor sucks big time) 5. Kansas didn't set this country back decades on public transportation infrastructure, but Jersey did. 6. Toll roads everywhere 7. Incredibly high taxes 8. Zero identity what so ever. North and central Jersey are NYC suburbs, south Jersey is a Philly suburb. An entire state that literally leaches of off 2 major cities. 9. Kansas is a cultural icon. Everyone knows the Wizard of Oz.

incoming rant...

with all due respect, new jersey is a horrible fucking place. even worse than Vermont and Florida. people in North Dakota and Kansas laugh at NJ

very heavy rain at work right now. unfortunately i dont think its raining 15 minutes away where i will be shooting fireworks tomorrow. need a nice rain with the dry weather we've been having

i would argue blue is worse than the potential indoor place, cuase the indoor place will be like 100 yards long and 150 vertical. blue is 1100 vertical with trails up to a mile long. thats alot more time and momentum for potential accidents

the new Xandu (i forget its new name) is scheduled to open this upcoming March 1st. ill believe it when i see it cause the building has been sitting there empty for over 10 years now. however, this could certainly become a year round every 3 weeks type of thing as far as riding goes

we had a family friend who used to lifeguard at Dorney park. they said they literally saved people's lives everyday lol. the amount of people who go in the wave pool but dont know how to swim is amazing

very up and down last month, but very slow this month

trust me there have definitely been grumblings over the years about that lol

short sleeve dress shirts with a tie make jean shorts look hip and cool

horrible day to be working outside in long sleeves and a tie. i feel so gross right now lol

Doug, this might be the best thing ive ever seen posted in the fuckery
