To my utmost disappointment – I missed pretty much ALL of the GP because re-re’s decided they wanted to “try” snowboarding. Yes, i had a few epic lessons with kids who could shred but for the most part i could’ve been a bit more productive at the bottom of the pipe watching Danny, Greg, and of course Shaun slay the Duper Pipe. Luckily i got an afternoon off and snagged my camera just in time to get a few shots

I went against my routine of being in bed by 10:30 on Saturday night and went out where i was quickly bombarded with Bud light girls, douche bags, and pretty much everyone you try to avoid on the sun deck. to my surprise Shaun White, Danny Kass and Louie Vito decided to have a party night. it was like a sexy dream sunday for me….anyways.

Myself and roommates don’t noooooormally follow such events so avidly, but seeing as a good friend of ours, Greg Bretz, was competeing…we had to make sure the baby boy had our support. After qualifying third to Vito and Lago, Greg sadly finished sixth. FUCKING STOKED. Not first but hey-how many of your friends competed…exactly. Nonetheless, all of us here in Mammoth are stoked for our boy and wish him nothing but the best of luck in comps to come.
