Volcom PBRJ Mammoth
This weekend was the first stop of the Volcom PBRJ tour. I hurt my back earlier in the week so I had to fight through some pain to make it through the contest, but I was able to hold it together and finish in 2nd place. I'm really excited to podium at this event since it was my first real rail jam in two years. (Last season my knee kept me from doing the bigger jams)

New Year, New (clever title here)
Ahkay. So I gotz a bit of catch up to play since the last time I posted.
Copper Rev: Well I went out there, and all I could do was give'r. Did my best, placed 22nd in Slopestyle and 32nd in Halfpipe. Would have liked to do better, but it was definitely a learning experience.
After coming back from Colorado I really started pushing myself at Northstar to try to get to the place where I wanted to be for Northstar's Rev Tour stop. I'm feeling pretty good. I've definitely improved since Colorado and I believe I'll place much higher this next week. Some things I'm happy about is that I was comfortably spinning 5s on the biggest jump at Northstar (until today- they just pushed the Rev jumps so the largest is slightly bigger but I think I can spin it in the competition), and I got my front 5 a little bit out of the pipe (airing, and spinning in the air puts me in a much better place than where I was at Copper).
Tomorrow I'm going to the Volcom Peanut Butter Rail Jam at Sierra-at-Tahoe and I think it'll be pretty fun. I'm not going there to win, just to have a good time, and who knows where that will get me. I just want to have some fun with my friends and eat free food.
Here's to 2012. I do believe this will be a good one. If it ever snows, that is.
