You must plan to get to practice
I was trying to say “communicate this to your family.” at the end but I cut myself off. You get the picture. Do it.

Steven Nyman Shredder-Interview
On November - 22 - 20099 COMMENTS
Steven Nyman is back on his boards and his knees are ready to stand on podiums this year.
If you skied like Steven Nyman, you could live life naked too. I was lucky to catch him back from what was likely his side job as a Chip-n-Dales dancer.
He talks about health, the US Ski Team and serving others, less fortunate, in Haiti. He has become accustom to giving the shirt off his back.
You should check out Steven’s Blog here. It rocks.

Phil Mahre is one of America’s most accomplished skiers. Gold in the 1984 Olympics in Sarajevo with his twin brother, Steve taking silver is what most people know him for but People in the world of skiing know that he has won more overall World Cup Titles than the Brazilian National Soccer Team. Bottom line, he shreds.

Lift lines got you down? Maybe you like meeting people in lines and on the lifts. Do you like spending the dough for a pass and the traffic in the parking lot? Todd Gillihan does not. In the off-months, he catches monster trout, but in the winter, Todd likes to conquer the hills on the Western Slope of the Sierra Nevada, near Lake Tahoe. He tells the places and shows you the most awesome board to do it with. The custom split-board!
Do not watch this video if you like $10.00 pints of beer and $25.00 wimpy burgers in the lodge.
Look at the red square and the green trees.

If you don’t listen to the folks that have come before you, you are destined for long lift-lines and icy crud. Knowing this, I wanted you all to hear from John McIntosh who has paved the way for countless Nor-Cal shredders.
Look at this killer picture. This is out of a dream. God gave me this and delivered it by way of Joey Wilson. By the way, don’t be a lake, be a river. Tweet this please.
This is my yin and yang. Two opposing forces that hold the universe together.
Play Well to Win

Check out this game!
The defender is resorting to some pretty crazy antics to squeeze out a win.
My friends on Facebook showed me this and it reminded me of some games when you know you are going to win when the other team breaks down mentally.
Some fouls go un-noticed but the game always goes to those who play well.
When the other team is coming up with some stupid, flagrant fouls, you know you will win. They aren’t thinking about playing well together and are breaking down.
you see this in life, too. Right before you get your way or have some success, you have some stuff thrown at you to knock you off your game.
It is those who are mentally tough who get their win.
Mark my words. As you are getting close to your next victory, keep your head in the game. Something will be thrown at you. You will get fouled hard. Keep playing your position. Don’t complain to the ref. He sees all things. Keep communicating and encouraging your team. Don’t give up. Tweet this post. You will win.

You can do this! Just be in the habit of working out first.
This video is not for the faint of heart. It begins by an affectionate look at skis in storage for the summer months but then goes on to some brutal physical punishment and some slander.
Tweet this and leave a comment on what you are doing to keep fit and why. At the very least, get off yer phatass and tweet-it. Thanks. We appreciate you.
Get Back Up and Get Going!

Life dishes out the hits. Walk it off and get back out there.
Life is great. Ya know, you get the crap beat out of you and you can decide what to do. You can stay down or you can get up.
Life dishes out the hits. and sends in the clouds for you to see the silver lining in them. Just 11 months ago I decided to not warm up enough before a soccer game. I was going hard from the whistle. I ran hard and stopped quick. SNAP! Life changed for a while.
Well the cadaver that gave me a ligament in my ACL surgery must have been a good soccer player when he was alive cause I got game still.
What I’m really most proud of is that I got up. I got back out there. I didn’t start playing too soon. I did a lot of rehab and rest but the stuff I am most stoked about is that I got up after being knocked down.
What ever has you down after a fall, shirk it off now and get yer @$$ back up! You will get charged up too!
Here is a little video to keep it real.
