After a week of riding the St. Anthony sand dunes then to Cainvelle Utah and ending up in Vegas for the last round of SX. It was a great break. Now time to get home and get to work riding for a busy summer
.
I like to burn gasoline, actually everything I do involves burning some type of fuel. I drive a truck, I ride a snowmobile, I flip my dirt bike, and I am always swiping my card at the fuel pump. So I started my Wednesday off like any other Wednesday, I filled up my truck and am heading to Bozeman. The thermometer outside read a balmy 8 degrees, and I needed a cold Red Bull. The windchill at 75mph had to be way below zero, so I present my instant chilling method for your beverages below.
The week after New Year’s was quite action packed, and invloved plenty of air travel and a newborn baby. My brother Russell and his wife Christine had a new daughter to ring in the new year, and I was fortunate enough to be there for the fun. Best wishes to the baby, she looks great!
This week I will be back in Idaho for a bit to rest and get ready for a taping with Good Morning America in Jackson Hole on January 10th. We will be riding with them and explaining the sport a little, and I hope to scare them a bit while we are at it! X Games is getting closer and closer, and this years event is going to be insane. Without letting the cat out of the bag, I have some new tricks that are going to blow minds. Once again, thanks to everyone for their support this winter, I am fortunate to be living this life.

Morning,
I received an email from a marketing person at the Winter X-Games office yesterday, and to my surprise I am now on a poster! They will be doing a short parody film, similar to something like the Airplane movies, to help get the word out about Winter X. Be on the look out for the ad, I couldn’t be more excited for winter now!

What’s Up,
So those nice guys at SCS Vinyl Works, who do my sled wraps thought of a nice little bonus for those who order new wraps. The first twenty orders come with a autographed poster by yours truly. So give that boyfriend, husband, wife, son, daughter, or redneck neighbor a new sled wrap for Xmas, and keep the poster for yourself!

Canada has been my new home for the last few weeks. As I’m sure you have all seen, that pretty little Astro van we bought has been serving us well. Simply to keep the miles off our own trucks, we bought that gem to abuse for our travels across the great white north. For anyone who hasn’t been to Canada I highly recommend you watch the movie Strange Brew. It accurately portrays what life in Canada is actually like.
Just kidding, we have been having a ton of fun setting up and breaking down the shows, driving all over the middle of no where, and listening to tons of music. I also got a little tattoo work done in Edmonton by Chris at Tattoo Showdown. I will keep you posted on what goes down at the events as the tour winds down. For now keep checking New Rock Live for all the contest results.

Well those nice people at Red Bull interviewed me again recently, and here is the write up. Just in case you guys wanted to know a little bit more about me! Check out their new website as well, way more video and it’s awesome.
Canada is expensive, but hey have snow, so I like it. Even though hot wings and pizza were roughly $55, it’s good to be riding on snow rather than wood chips again. Tonight is the first night of the New Rock Live tour I have been talking about for some time. It’s a combination music/sledstyle tour across Canada. It’s a little like a winter Warped Tour for those of you in the US. I’m stoked to be a part of it and think tonight’s show is going to be sick. Isaac Sherbine and Keith Sayers are riding in the tour as well, so it’s really fun to ride with your best friends in foreign countries. Even though I think I have been in Canada every other weekend this summer. Check out this practice picture, that landing ramp is huge!

Morning,
SCS Wraps has been hard at work designing the new graphics for the upcoming winter, and I finally received my full sled kit. I think they look pretty rad, with a whole new theme to boot. It has been snowing like crazy here in the Wood River Valley with almost 12 inches up north. I think we actually skipped fall and went straight to winter, which is fine by me.
I am heading up to Butte, MT now to gather up all my sleds, gear, ramps etc from Keith Sayers house and packing for the New Rock Live Tour. The first stop is October 9, 2009; Medicine Hat Arena- Medicine Hat, Alberta. So get in your truck and drive up to watch the show

What’s Up,
Most of us sledstyle or FMX guys really aren’t too savvy when it comes to water sports. Sure we can sit on a boat and drink a beer or two, but most of us are snow or dirt based people. Well the weather here in Bellevue has been windy as all hell, so last weekend we headed north to Redfish Lake. This could be one of the most beautiful lakes in the west, and you don’t have to give up the creature comforts of life going there either. Some friends and family and I went up for a day in the crystal clear ice cold water, luckily right before it snowed. I gave this whole stand up paddle boarding craze a try, and I must say it is pretty fun. The balance needed to keep things upright and smooth it pretty intense. I just cruised around the lake on flat water, but after seeing those big wave videos I am more than impressed by the pros. You should give it a shot next time you give the chance.

Hey guys,
I have been using this neck brace from Omega that is sweet. Normally, braces like Leatt and others are cumbersome for freestyle and don’t allow me full range of motion. This one is completely different. Everyone should be wearing these! Check out the little video on the right as well. You can get them from my good buddies and sponsors at Western Power Sports.
Hey guys,
I wanted to point out a good blog that is related to sledstyle and snowmobiling in general. Julien has been great about putting up content for me, and I wanted to give him a shout out as well. This is the kind of site we need to grow, let’s make this sport as big as we can! Thanks Julien, and keep up the good work, even is you are in college right now!

My boys at SCS Vinyl Works did it once again, and I can’t wait to throw their new wrap on my sleds this winter. Check out their new page with the 2010 snowmobile wraps!
Hello,
This past weekend was one of the most fun weekends I have had in a long long time! I spent the weekend filming with a helicopter for a new movie that will premiere in February by Steve Haughelstine. Look for it soon under the title “From the Ground Up”. Coy Cooper, Keith Sayers and I all spent the weekend pushing ourselves to look the best that we can on film! Check out my tweets on Twitter for more updates.

Morning!
Wanted to let everyone know that I just signed with a new tour across Canada. Two of my good friends, Isaac Sherbine and Joe Parsons, are traveling to all the events as well. There are plenty of stops so everyone should see at least one. Bringing both music and sledstyle to events will make for a fun weekend. Check out the trailer on the right to see what’s up!
Hi,
What a week! Summer is definitely in full swing, and I have been putting miles on my truck like it is going out of style. Last night was a demo in Monroe, WA, a town outside of Seattle. Show went well, and we had the whole thing packed up as fast as ever. I am on the road right now, and thought I would toss in a quick update of my travels. Didn’t sleep last night, loaded up the truck and headed east right after the show. 592 miles to Helena, a case of Red Bull, and lots of loud music. Driving through the night gives you lots of time to think, and I think I could drive from Spokane to Butte,MT with my eyes closed now.
Sayers, Metzger, and I have been traveling a lot together this summer, and I couldn’t think of a better group of guys to work with. There is no screwing around when it comes down to business, and that’s the way we like it. I need to be in Helena at 2pm today for a private show put on by my friend Ted. He throws a huge party at his house, and invited us to ride this year. Not a bad gig! I’ll have some pictures for sure of this night. Going to grab a quick nap, and keep on driving, talk to you later.

Good Morning!
I am on the road, packed up the Frisby traveling circus, and headed west. Monroe, WA is the destination for a show this Friday, however on the way I am making a small detour to visit my good friend in Moses Lake, WA. Haven’t seen Stifler in awhile and it is always entertaining. So if you’re out in the Washington area come out and watch the show. I will post details on where the show is soon.
Here is a cool newspaper shot from the Lynden show last week! I cannot for the life of me get this thing to show up right, but here is the photo.
What’s Up,
I packed up the trailer, loaded up the truck, and look like a traveling junk show. Seattle is my next stop on my freestyle summer tour, but first I had to make a quick pit stop in Coeur d’Alene to see my good friend Mike Metzger. He has the job of finishing up my tattoo’s and putting together my sleeve. Here is a quick camera phone shot, it wasn’t easy doing the camera/while getting tattooed thing.

Hello Everyone,
As you might have heard I have resigned with SLEDNECKS for the next three years. I am stoked to be back and can’t wait to start working on our movie segment for the 2010 snow season. I have been training super hard for this season and hope to win a gold medal at X games. I am excited for the upcoming season and would like to thank everyone at slednecks for bringing me back on the team. I am looking forward to being able to represent for the brand and to be involved in the upcoming movie.
Thanks again

What’s up,
Loaded up the truck again today to once again cross the state of Montana. This time I am heading to Billings, MT for a freestyle show. For those of you who have never seen the Billings Hillclimb, it is world famous. Here is a VIDEO to refresh your memory.
Last weekend Keith Sayers and I traveled to Killdeer, ND for a FMX show, where I helped MC the show. What can I say about Killdeer, there are more cows than people, the attendence was a little low, probably around 500 or so, but the trip was fun nonetheless. Here is a MAP to give you an idea of where this place exists.
You know it was funny this week, I have been driving across Montana and Idaho for weeks now, and never get tired of coming home here. Living and training in Butte has been really good for me, and I love my friends that live here. And then when I return to Bellevue, ID it’s like a little vacation. If you get a chance, come up to Montana, you won’t regret it.
Anyways, I’ll get some pictures coming soon, and a story from Billings ASAP. Thanks for reading, and talk to you soon.

What’s Up!
I just finished up riding and filming at St. Anthony sand dunes for two days, and I am now in Butte prepping for Evel Days. I was riding with some close friends Keith Sayers and Steve Haughelstine helping film Steve’s new movie. Felt pretty good riding in the sand for a change, and doing something other than hitting ramps. Keith was riding well for just getting back on the bike, and I eventually crashed unfortunately. Nothing a little Advil won’t cure!
Next day, hopped in the truck, which I am spending wayyy too much time in and sped off to Butte. Evel Kneivel Days will be the first time I have flipped both my sled and my bike at a show, and we are doing 3 shows per day. I am going to be a busy man, especially since we have to deal with set up and take down. I am going to get some new photos and some short videos coming your way so stay tuned. Until then check out this sick aerial of the sand dunes!
For more information on Evel Days: www.knieveldays.com
