Sideslipping

As mentioned above, this past weekend I (J that is) took part in (helping out with) the 2009 World Cup Snowboarding competitions at Cypress Mountain (Official Freestyle Skiing and Snowboard Venue for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games). The energy was high as more than 100 participants turned the two-day event into a superb snowboard show. All of the world's top riders were there in full form, checking out the 2010 Olympic Halfpipe and also giving a first impression of the level and riding to be expected next year. At the Halfpipe contest, Kelly Clark and Shaun White (in the second and third pictures below) impressively underlined that the Olympic Champion from 2002 and her fellow countrymen who won in 2006 are the top aspirants for another Gold medal at Vancouver 2010.

How did I help out at this fine event? Well, among other things, I sideslipped the pipe (see http://www.abc-of-snowboarding.com/learn-snowboarding/sideslipping-heelside.asp), one of several course maintenance necessities for putting on a successful and fair event. If all goes well, I should be doing the same next year during the Olympics (hope I don't face-plant in front of the world).

I create a comment whenever I especially enjoy a post on a site or I have something to contribute to the
discussion. Usually it's triggered by the sincerness communicated in the article I looked at. And after this article "Sideslipping". I was actually excited enough to leave a leave a responsea response ;-) I do have a couple of questions for you if you tend not to mind. Is it simply me or does it look like like some of the comments look like they are written by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing on other places, I'd
like to follow everything new you have to post.
Would you list all of all your public sites like your linkedin
profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

Cool blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my
blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your design.
