Default One year DOES make a difference


One year ago today, XGAMES VII in Aspen Sunday, this happeed me.


http://tinyurl.com/36urm

Today I had a totally positive ride. 6" of snow had just fallen,
temperature was 15 degrees F. The trail which goes to the XGames was
challenging, kind of like uniing a dirt trail with horse hoove tracks
set in it. I made to the XGames, w/o a UPD, with the typical horns
honking, people yelling, etc. Cokering right to the entrance of the
XGames was awesome, felt like I was totally doing the right thing.
Watched the Skier Slopestyle final run, and then Cokered home with same
results, cold toes though.

If you havent watched any of the XGames, shame on you, it's awesome and
they are showing them live. It's on the next three nights,ESPN or ABC,
and some during the day.

The guy was 33 years old!?! He probably still lives at home with his
parents. I would not be suprised if he was 22, but 33. Time to grow up
and act like a man, not a teenager.

I've often had people take a sharp sideways step toward me as I pass by.
It's one of the more annoying reactions I get. I assume the intention is
to surprise me into falling off, as they seem to treat the whole thing
as a joke. I've never had anyone actually follow through, though.
Bummer.

I called the courts on the day he was to appear, and was told that it
had been postponed because his (A.P.) lawyer had asked for a extension
for his court date. At that point, I was satisfied that he had to take
time out of his life and money out of his pocket to deal with his
inappropriate action. I never did follow up after that, it didnt matter
to me at that point. Maybe I' m to much of a nice guy? I enjoy the sport
too much, just wanted to keep the good times rollin.
