My Meatless Motivation
When people ask me why I stopped eating meat, it’s a really difficult question for me to try and answer. I want to say, “You know all the reasons you’ve heard of? Yea, it’s all of those reasons.” It’s kind of a straw that broke the camel’s back sort of thing. The truth is that […]
Ralston Snowskate 2012 Review
I’ve been fortunate enough to get my hands on a new Ralston sub-deck (or ski). I have last season’s top-deck and last year’s rocker trucks. I put my set up to the test over the last few days and this is my review of the 2012 Ralston standard sub-deck. The first day I rode my […]

The only explanation is that these pants are a mystical pair. I’m sure you’ll agree once you see all the places these pants have taken me. […]
The Fear of Snowskating
I’ve been wanting to write about the fear of snowskating for a little while. But, I’ve been avoiding it because I wasn’t sure I could do it without making some people mad. Here is my best attempt. Take it or leave it…or tell me how I could do it better. What is the reaction you […]
