I've been going to Bittersweet, and I'm just about fed up with it. It's always packed, never groomed...thinking I might try out timberridge today.

Hey everybody!
I've been on this forum lurking for a while, only posting when I have something really important to say, nonetheles...
I'm in the Never Summer All Season Shredder Constest, a contest which awards the biggest ass (all season shredder) both an amazing Never Summer longboard, and snowboard! (more info here)
The way the contest works is you make a video of you snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing, etc, and upload it to a thread on silverfishlongboarding . Once the deadline is met, the winner is decided by votes.
I'm asking if you guys could help me by voting for me!
Here's the catch, you have to make an account with silverfishlongboarding.com , but hey, it's a terriffic forum anyways so...
I realize I'm not amazing at carving, but I love it reguardless. If you could just take the time to watch my video, I'd be very happy!
The deadline to submit is 1-15, and I guess afterwards they'll give more info on exactly how to vote, which I'll pass on to you guys.
Thanks a ton!
Anyways, this is what I have posted over there:

For me, it all started off “surfing” my blemmed boogie board in Cocoa Beach, Florida. My dad realized that it was time for me to move on, so he bought me a skim board. I love my wooden hammerhead skim board. From then on, our annual trips to Florida were changed from a Disneyland oriented trip, to a beach oriented trip. In 2001, I entered in the Zap Pro/Am Cocoa Beach Skim Contest and took 2nd place with my wood board. Everybody knew I needed a better board; so would be wake surfing world champion Drew Daniello gave me his board that he had just won!
I continued entering in contests, winning the 1st annual Chapter 11 Sports Skimfest; and taking 3rd the preceding year. I realized however, that only skimming on vacation wouldn’t cut it. I started skimboarding on my lake, and even spent a summer skimboarding behind my boat. It wasn’t enough and I continued skimboarding just for fun. I needed by boarding fix though, so I looked to skateboarding.
I had dabbled with skateboarding during my skimboarding prime, originally starting off with my brother’s play it again sports cheapo skateboard. After the first day of fooling around in my driveway I was hooked. I started skating park at The Sandbox in North Carolina, and continued to skate at Airborne Skate Park, Modern Skate Park, and even spent my entire summer of 8th grade at Vans Skate Park. However, once I entered high school it all changed. I had no more time to skate; I was always busy with my schoolwork, soccer, and wrestling. I hung up my skateboard.
Towards the end of my sophomore year, I rediscovered my love for skateboarding, but in a different form….LONGBOARDING! My first board was a $60 Krown Pintail, which I loved! I started building my own boards, from slalom to a 7 ft dancer. Longboarding was amazing. I was making plenty of money running my own landscaping business, so the quiver began to grow and grow. I regularly practice all the disciplines of longboarding, but my love is with dancing. I my dancing video have been viewed by close to 10,000 people, and I have been featured in the Loaded Newsletter. I was even one of the favorites to win the second loaded challenge. Longboarding is by far my favorite sport, but in Michigan, we only have nice weather 3 months a year!
I discovered snowboarding. I tried the normal form, tricks and all; but found it rather boring. I began to notice those few snowboarders that hauled down the hill, and who wore ski boots and would touch the ground in each turn. I wanted to do it. I got my first alpine snowboard and fell in love. Here in Michigan, our “mountains” are about 300 ft, but I love snowboarding so much, I’ve learn to deal.
Even though I’ve done many sports, and done very well in them (varsity wrestler, state champion gymnast), my love truly is with all things boarding…
I AM AN ASS, MAN!

haha, thanks. How'd you know I was doing aviaion?
Even though I had some great runs I was still kind of bummed.
I wanted to get some pics of me for the Never Summer All Season Shredder contest, but my 2 sets of brand new batteries died shortly after the sunset pics.
I should have a link up of my video soon though, so you all can vote for me

I was at PK for the night session last night (Jan 3), I also boarded with Sidewinder for a bit.
It was cccooolllddd! 16 degrees out with a windchill of 6! The snow was so fast though.
The combination of the freshly waxed board, and the super fast snow made for a great session. This was only my 2nd time out this year, but towards the end of the night, I was laying out toesides so nicely.
I forgot how much fun the 1/4 mile is.
Well it's back to college now for me, goodbye PK, Hello Bittersweet.

Mt Holly was supposed to be today, but a kid I was going with couldn't go because his mommy said it was too dangerouse of a drive.
We're going tomorrow though, although I haven't decided where. Did Mt Holy raise it rates?! 35 bucks:nono:

Ike: The T.R. program turned you off? Really?
I taught boarding at T.R. for three years, and had a blast doing it.
"Oak" and was my favorite run for carving. "Hemlock" was good if there weren't any bumps - In fact, the pic in my profile was taken launching off of "Hemlock."
(Circa 1996?)
Well I just might have to give it another chance!
To be fair, it was getting dark out when i visited.
And it wasn't the program that turned me off, it was the fact that I never saw the hill.
-
I went to a meeting at TR about instructing, and I was in the lodge and coudln't see the hill! It was a turnoff, but mabye I'll give it another chance.
-
I'm from the east side, but go to Western...I got the ski club pass to bittersweet so I should be there a bit.

I'm lower western michigan (Kalamazoo).

I'll be at Mt. Holly tonight, from about 6-9.
Can't say I'll be the best company, though. I'm trying out some Flow bindings for the first time, so I expect I'll spend half the evening futzing around with them.
Send me an e-mail if you want contact info.
The weather isn't going to be too good :( Low of only 34!!! Count me out... Hopefully we'll get a major blizzard next tuesday (2 for 2 lift tickets day) :)
-
Saw that...I think it's supposed to rain though :(
-
I was planning on going to Mount Holly this morning, but my lil brother who I was taking slept in :(
So we ended up going to the afternoon/night session....BIG MISTAKE! It was terrible there. All clumbs and bumps of poweder, they never re-groomed, even though they closed for "re-grooming"...and it was incredibly crowded.
Still better then not going though :)
-
I've been there a few times this season...hopefully I'll get to go again before all the snow mets
If you see me, I'll be on a Oxygen Proton (red) 149, with softboots, and a yellow helmet...gotta be safe ;)
-
Oh I agree, I was just expressing my frustration with my equipment ;)
-
what about carving in softboots that dont fit, with low quality step in binding
...that's gotta effect the carve some way.
