Today is May 28th and I can honestly say that I did something today that I’ve never done on any other may 28th…pow turnin and burnin! It’s been an endless winter here in Tahoe and today was no exception. We woke up to about two feet of fresh snow in the higher elevations and we knew exactly what to do, get out there and get some. Thank you mother nature for the best May 28th ever, I love you.
Endless Winter
Surfs Up!
Yesterday Squaw valley USA held their annual pond skim event and it was entertainment at its finest. Here’s some photos of the action. Enjoy!
Tims Healthy Tip
Looking at this photo it doesn’t look like much. However this just might be the greatest invention of all time for the human body. Its called a foam roller and its just that, a piece of foam that you roll on. You can roll on it anyway you want on whatever feels tight or sore and after you’re gonna feel like a million bucks. These things rule, you rule, and not being sore rules!
Tour De Reno
The sun is shining and the temperatures are balmy. So today I went on a most excellent road bike ride around the biggest little city. Biking rules, adventures rule, and maps are pretty cool so you kind of know where you are going and where you’ve been. Here’s a pic of the route!
Pimp My Ride
The other day I was riding my bike and things just kept falling apart on me. I’ve put so many miles on her it was about time she kicked the bucket. I didn’t know what to do so I threw it up in a tree and like anyone else in my situation I called up Xzibit at MTV to pimp my ride. With in minutes his crew showed up and by the next afternoon my ride was officially pimped! Thanks Xzibit for the new ride!
Pre pimped
Post pimped...blingin reflectors holmes!
Grillin and Chillin
The weather here in Tahoe has been nothing but beautiful the past few days. Which only means two things, grillin and chillin! Here’s some photos on how to make pizza (the worlds best food) on the grill. Enjoy!
Tim’s Healthy Tip
Todays healthy tip is all about rice. I love rice….brown rice, sticky rice, you name it! However, this tip is about a completely different kind of rice that is in the form of an acronym (R.I.C.E). It stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation and unfortunately has nothing to to do with eating. It’s the golden rule for injuries. I tweaked my knee boarding and I have become a full time ricer. Hopefully you will never have to put this technique into action but if you do it will get you back on the slopes as soon as possible. Happy healing!
On Snow Demo Bro!
Yesterday Porters Tahoe and K2 teamed up at SugarBowl for a product demo/review. The whole crew got together to film some on snow action of the whole K2 snowboarding line as well as video interviews on the product and what not. The whole idea is to give the world a little insight into the product and what it’s all about before you go and buy your weapon of choice! Here’s a few photos…party on!
Area 241
Today I had the pleasure of going to Mike Basichs’ house out in the Sierras to do some filming with the Airblaster bros. Mike doesn’t live on a paved road but who needs one when you have your own snow cat? So we met him at the end of the road, loaded up his cat, and headed out to the zone…Area 241. The place in insane! He built an amazing house perched up on a mtn with access to unlimited backcountry terrain. Not to mention a tow rope in his front yard. It’s the ultimate set-up! So once we checked out his house we adventured to a nearby cliff band and built ourselves a jump and boarded our faces off! Here’s a few photos of his digs…enjoy
