the rail that wont work

Spenny and I have spent about 6 hours over the last week trying to get this one handrail on campus to work.
We cant get enough speed no matter how high we build the drop-in and how hard we pull on a rope.
So far, we have like 2 fall shots and a bunch of crappy filler.
We will keep trying... Just want one shot... It's a lot of work!

pics and fail videos later!

last weekend

Cp3 and I went to chestnut on Friday night and had a great time and rode until we were so exhausted we couldn't ride any more.
Chip and I each landed new jib tricks and rode well.
Chad arrived late Friday night and we stayed at a house nearby that his uncle was renting.
Saturday we pretty much tried to get shots all day.
Got a few good shots on the gopro cam that died pretty fast. Then we filmed the rest of the day until we went home.
Unfortunately, Chip and I probably rode better Friday night, (when the cameras weren't running) but we still had a good time.
We'll pretty much just concentrate on gettin better park shots for the rest of the season.
We tried a lot of new angles and shots and just messed around the whole time.

Here are a few shots... we'll just call this the B reel:

"Chip, Chad and Me messin around at the nut.
This is just the footy from my camera. There are some better shots on Chad's camera (in HD) but we'll just have to wait for the movie to come out to see those!"

late night campus shredding

well spenny, chip, myself and new iwc associate nick had some fun in the cold and snow last night.
we did some riding at the igb building and then moved on to a ledge in front of the law building.
i will try to post a few shots later, but dont wanna give all the good stuff away :).

my boards busted, may be beyond the point of repair but hopefully i can fix it.
dont know which time it happened but i either went to short or too long on a big bomb drop.
totally flattened my edge and it busted through the base. yuck

ill throw together a little edit later.

snow!

finally gettin some more snow outside!
hopefully set the rail up tomorrow night and have a little sesh somewhere.
behind my apartment is a possibility, however it might be hard to get enough speed.
looks like car-tows or slingshots.

snow outside my balcony and on the rail:

wow crappy picture haha.
more tomorrow!

from this weekend

fun night

went to the nut with a decent group: cp3, marky-mark, myself and my ladyfriend and chad met us there.
i rode pretty crappy but ended up getting a shot or two. chip was trying new stuff on skis and skiing well, chads the man with the vision and the camera, and marky-mark is the second week in a row with a wrist injury.

It took us 5.5 hours to get home. Sporty driving to say the least. Everything was fine until the last 30 miles or so. It had been snowing/raining/slushing in champaign all day and we knew it would be bad. But this was probably the worst weather I have ever driven in. The worst part was the wind! We dont get wind like that in Maine. It was gusting sideways (probably 40mph or faster) and blowing all the cars around on the icy/snowy road. Not good. My car with the box is pretty much a big sail haha. We saw a total of 3 semi's and probably a dozen other cars off the road. We actually ended up spinning a 360 on the highway and spun into the breakdown lane by the median, but I was able to just keep going. Might have needed to change my diaper after that one. We had a big caravan of semi's trucks and suv's all going 15-20mph with hazards on. Finally made it home. Slow and steady won the race tonight. I LOVE MY CAR.

maybe a clip later in the week.
maybe seshing our rail tomorrow on campus with the new snow/slush.
night

midweek updates

well we got some updates on dans injury:
he is now a cyborg and has metal in his arm... yep, he needed surgery.
but hopefully this means faster recovery and a stronger arm!

i also started a vimeo account. this way its easier for me to post videos on here and they wont be 'unavailable'.

snowboardin on friday. hopefully film some more shots. gonna have to start doin newer and bigger stuff.

that is all for now. there is an extreme lack of snow on the ground here and its depressing...

little edit from this weekend

this kinda sucks but its what i could throw together. didnt have much good stuff.
we suck so dont hate too bad haha
