The winner of the first City Kid on Shred giveaway is Nate from Blue Mountain, Pa. Yay. I wish I could have given stuff to everybody. In my next contest I will, but you'll just have to wait and see what I have up my sleeves.
Anyways. This blog is really about my life- something I find myself drifting away from but I'm trying to get back to. Here's whats happening. I went out to San Francisco tonight with Rebecca so I could dance and be ridiculous on my last night in town. We went to the spot where my friend Martin was DJing since he had put me on the guest list. Well, we never went into the club because the guest list line was the same as the regular line and I was too ehhhh to wait. I thought we could find something else going on in the city but because Rebecca has no identification to back up any claims of being 21+, there really wasn't much to do. We found one club where the security let us skip the line, but then they told us is was "Asian night" and was $25 to get in. No thanks. I picked up my pay check at Sajj, ate some pita and hummus with Reebs, and then brought her back home. I almost headed out to Redwood City to see some other friends before I left but just went home instead.
I almost finished packing and now I'm typing this. I'll be leaving for Oregon in four hours so I'm going to pass out and then spring back up to finish packing. I'm really excited for tomorrow, I just wish it hadn't come so quickly. I'm not prepared to move. And as much as I'm stoked for a summer of shredding, the uncertainty of everything has me feeling a little anxious. Don't know where I'm living. Don't know people there (except a few old contacts). Don't know where I'm working. Don't know if I can manage to pull something like I did at Northstar this season and end up with amazing coaching. Things will work out, I'm sure, but I've got some last night butterflies catching up with me...
I think the only thing that will help is if I get as much sleep as I can. So I'm out. Good night, happy dream-shredding, I'll post again when I survive my first week in Oregon.

Fuck coaching ride for yourself. Coaches are for jocks that are forgotten real riders just pioneer shit. And those are words to fucking live by kid!
Awesome to see I won, glad I entered this contest. Thanks.
I disagree with the coaches statement. I mean, some coaches suck but I had awesome ones at Northstar this year they helped me a ton. I know I wouldn't have progressed so much this year if I didn't have my coaches around. They definitely helped me with my confidence and got me progressing to things I didn't think I could even try, but they knew I could. They also helped at contests by guiding me to a higher scoring run, or talking the starter into letting me get an extra practice run in. It's definitely helpful for a snowboarder who's just starting. I mean, at a certain point, yeah you don't need a coach around all the time, but for just getting started in freestyle and competitions they're invaluable.
