Panama 2006

  • The Price
    In the spirit of adventure and having new experiences together, the Missus and I rolled the dice on some informal recomendations and an ad from the back of Surfer Magazine for a 'Private Surf Island' off the coast of Panama. Suffice to say - we had a great, diverse crew on the island, scored some of the best - and longest waves - I have ever ridden and already have the island booked for next year. This is the DL from Morro Negrito - 2006.

'Round The Hood

  • Canute 2006 - Bring It On
    So, we live at 8,040 feet. We commute via bike some 17 - odd miles and 3,200 feet of vertical down to Boulder, most days. On the other days, we are running, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, drinking beer in the meadows and ridges around the house. The natural environment is something we are immersed in every day. This album is an attempt at reflecting on and capturing some of the beauty that we are immersed in every day. After a decade and a half of this - I am just getting warmed up and feel like a tourist seeing it for the first time every day. All these photos are in the hood - in the yard. It's a hellofa yard.

Colorado Trail 2004

  • Day 8 - Kennebec Pass
    In August of 2004 an assortment of riders from Nederland, Belgium and Northern California set out to ride some 320 miles of trails across the amazing state of Colorado. This is their story.

Snow

    Being that we live at 8,040 feet, weather, and snow are both a huge part of life. We shovel it, ride through it, ride on it, pray for it, curse it. We love it. Whether it's burying the ramp, blowing into hug lip launches at Edlora or carrying us over a cornice in some distant part of the state - it is a huge part of our constitution.

2013: First Blood

Surf Seldoworse Sbwest Snowbike

So, yesterday was 82 degrees and sloppy 'find the wave in the pizza' kind of stuff. But, wet, salty, ocean water with gorgeous light and snow white sand. Today...6 degrees. Dusting over groomers. Railed a few figure 11's with ML and gasped at the thin-ness of the air in my home town. A ride did not seem likely as we peaked out at 17 degrees But a ride - it was. The sublimity (is that a word) of the light here on this the second day of January. It's wild. Really makes you appreciate that rich, warm light in June. But that is month's away. For now, we settle into the cold and do everything we can with it. And with ourselves. It's a quiet time - ideally. Hopefully we can maintain that quiet and 'use' it to prepare for the busier, lighter, warmer months. Diggin' in, Bitch. Happy 2013. I have declared - that this - the 50th year of my existence - will be the best yet. That bar is not low. But I am confident in making this an all-time year.
