Further World Premiere, Squaw Valley

Premiere season has officially begun.

The world premiere of Jeremy Jones' Further was at Squaw last night outside KT-22. I headed out there with Rebecca, Diva, Madison and Bryan. We had two hours to kill before the movie started so we did some drinking and mingling. It was good to see everyone who came out to the movie. Lots of familiar faces wandering the village.

The movie started around 9 I think and we got a little spot on the grass with a bunch of friends to watch it. As expected, there were plenty of shots in crazy locations that made you shit your pants thinking about riding them. Following suit with Deeper, Further turned out to be more of a documentary than a traditional snowboard movie. At this point I had enough alcohol in my system that following a storyline and listening to a lot of talking was challenging. Honestly, I just wanted to see some sick lines but there was only one riding shot every minute or two. The shots they used were awesome though. After what seemed like a really long time, the movie ended. I should probably try watching it again sometime because everyone was stoked on it. So if you're sober and want a good story I'd recommend Further.

After the movie we headed over to the after party at Rocker. It was a closed event and they weren't selling tickets so resourcefulness had to be used. Luckily my good friend Ramone was DJing the event so he came out to get me, Rebecca, Madison, and Diva. We had an awesome time inside; the alcohol was flowing, the music was bumping, and old friends were all around. I don't remember what went on towards the end of the night, but from the pictures that were taken it looked like I had a great time.
Here's what Hondo at Transworld had to say about the night.

Solid night.
Cheers to premiere season!

First day of dry land with the Sierra Nevada team

Tuesdays and Thursdays have been my favorite days this semester because I don't have class until 2:30 so I'm able to sleep in until 1 on those days.

Not anymore.

Dry land training with the school team started today and that meant the alarm was set for 7am and I had to be on campus by 8am. No more Womp Womp Wednesdays at the Grid for me.

My Physical Therapist has to get really
specific with my instructions

Anyways, I made it to school a little before 8 but because I'm not cleared for running yet and that's what the team was doing, I was sent off to the rec center to bike. So I pretty much woke up way too early for no reason because I could've gone to the gym on my own later. But whatever. I biked for like 15 minutes but my knee kept clicking almost every rotation so I stopped. I moved to the elliptical for another like 20 minutes. That's my favorite machine right now because I get to imagine I'm running even though I'm not. I seriously can't wait until I can run again. I always hated running but when not being allowed to do it has made me crave it so badly. Then I did some yoga/stretch stuff and some core. I guess it was a pretty good work out. I would have preferred training with the team though. :/

Hopefully I can start doing stuff with them soon. Until then I'm lone wolfing it in the gym.
