Butthole Lives!

Nathan and I just made some repairs to our beautiful car (which was apparently attacked by a bear...) and it now holds oil, and runs!

6/27/10

So, our butthole is currently parked on the side of the road out a couple km on the gas line. While rallying it to Brodie and Morgans grad party we hit put a cute little hole in our oil pan and now it doesn't hold oil for very long so we decided to not drive it. Anyways... here's a vid of some parking lot fun at the ski hill. As you can see, butthole, as a front-wheel drive car really excels at reverse doughnuts.

Where's Waldo?

Spot the raccoon!

Butthole

So, last Friday I said that I had big news coming soon... sooooooooo here it is!
Raine, Nathan, and I have purchased a car! It's a '93 Dodge Spirit. It's name is Butthole. It cost us $500, pretty good deal if you ask me.

4 Cylinders whatever...

I Love Sprintcams!

Also, Justin captured this mouse last weekend and named it Springer.

My dad found it dead outside my house, just 2 days after being released into the wild. :(

Silverwood Edit

Here's the edit from Silverwood. My computer sucks at the moment so Nathan edited it. Check out my voice on PANIC PLUNGE, all the air gets sucked out of your lungs so you can't scream, it's awesome.

I may or may not post some full videos from the rides later.

Backflip of the Week

Richy and I went up to Nancy Greene last Sunday between grad parties for a quick little ropeswing sesh. I kind of taught Dirty Rich how to do backflips off it until he "broke" his male reproductive organs, ask him about it... Here is a video of me doing a backflip to accidental late 180.

Yesterday, our Grad class went to Silverwood. Although it was pissing rain and quite cold, we had so much fun! Here are some photos and a video will follow shortly, I took my GoPro on every ride and waterslide with the exception of Aftershock where the ride attendant took it away from me. Also, I have some big news coming later today! so excited!

DROPZONE aka Panic Plunge.

Pretty high up. On this ride, you try to scream but about halfway down you're moving so fast the air gets sucked out of your lungs. I filmed myself and it's pretty funny.

Treehouse.

Wing Night

I love wing night! Every Thursday, the Rock Cut Pub up by the ski hill has a sweet deal where if you buy a drink, you get 20 wings for $10.50. I end up going every once in a while and it's always a good time. Yesterday a road the whip out there to spent wing night with Marshall's family, Richard + Lisa, Raine, Chris, Justin, and Evan.

So Many Wings

Today I'm going to hang out at Nancy Greene Lake with some hombres then I graduate this afternoon. fun!
I'm going to try to sneak the gopro into the ceremonies to shoot some pics and vid from a graduate's prespective. Since this is my last blog post before graduating... I'd like to say thankyou to every friend, enemy, peer, teacher, and any person I've come in contact with for making me the person I am today.
Goodbye marshmallow world!

The Most Awesome Sunset...

I swear it was the coolest thing I've ever seen. Sepia fading to pinks, purples, and dark blues with a rainbow thrown in there. Sooooooooooooooooo beautiful. Too bad both batteries for my camera were dead... I love the kootenays!
