This week I find myself on an adventure in Mt.Crested Butte, CO.  If you don’t know where that is, try this

Oh yeah…Colorado Rocky Mtn High. This place is off the charts beautiful…and the terrain at the mountain is as challenging as it gets. You can’t get an appreciation for how BIG these mountains really are until you look closer at the map:  a little place called ASPEN is only about 10 miles northeast of Mt Crested Butte, as the White-tailed
Leaf Warbler flies.  But if you were to drive from one to the other you would travel 206 miles!  Or approximately 4.5 hrs of sitting with a softball between your ass and your non-heated seat listening to NPR on some scratchy am radio station.  How big are these mountains?  That big.  Ain’t no road gonna take you the 10 miles between the two.

Sorry for the rant.  More to the point, why are we here?  Every year the Water Sports Industry Association  (sounds boring, just focus and hang in there for a sec) holds an annual summit, somewhere cool.  Park City, Whistler, now Mt. Crested Butte.  They bring in speakers who know a hell of a lot more than you know about stuff you never even knew existed…until now.  I feel like one of the most fortunate people on the planet, because my boat sponsor MasterCraft, decided to let me tag along.  Its great they can overlook the fact that I haven’t washed my hair in 5 years, or that I’ve been alternating between the same 2 pairs of jeans (skinny jeans, mind you…as that is all O’Neill seems to make anymore) for the past 3 weeks.  What’s even crazier is that they pulled the trigger on an Ad for the latest WaterSki Mag…with my bobble-mop head all up in there.  See for yourself!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well thats all for now.  I’ll let you know how the week finishes up.  Till then, here are a few iPhone pics I snapped yesterday and today…for your viewing pleasure.  Be jealous!…


What makes you get out of bed every morning?  What keeps you going throughout those long hard days?  What is the one thing in this world that, above all else, you are sure you could not live without?…??  No, waywait….shuushshut your mouth don’t answer…. cuz we already have the answer for you:  This website.

Ok, I know what you’re thinking….”how did he read my mind?!”.  Honestly, I don’t really know how.  But lets face it, the “how” doesn’t really matter to you anyway.  All you want to see are results.  Money where my mouth is.  And being that this is the most recent procrastination-heavy time killer you’ve come across….you’re skeptical.

Well I can tell you this.  I’ve seen a few places, learned a few things and created a few websites in the past.  Moving forward this here website is going to be the best of it all, in one location.  Nice and simple.

We’ll take journeys into the minds of some of the greatest from across broad sports disciplines…and we’ll go on adventures around the Globe.  I will ask hard questions, get lost in the outfield sometimes and even throw you a few curve balls every now and then.

But at the end of the day, all joking aside, hopefully this will be a place you can come and find something to laugh at, look at or learn from.

My quest in life is to be as curious as possible, learn as much as possible, and enjoy the shit out of every day.  I hope this here project can capture some of that.

Yeah, you may notice a slight bias towards water sports around this place….but lets face it, we all wish we could be as badass as this boss on the water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enough said.  Stick around awhile….
