.i’m writing from a studio appartment in seattle somewhere. our road trip has taken us from denver through SLC and up to Idaho for a long week. we made the ten hour haul yesterday in one stretch and now about to start the day with a wonder around a new city. heres a look into where we’ve been.

Thanks to all the friends and families that have put us up along the way.
.here at last! the final winter installment of adventures in transition comes from the final days at breck as well as some skating with friends near boulder. please, feel free to pass this video around. i put special care into making number six, my goal was to make it the most legitimate of the series and also pass a message. that message was that no matter if its skiing, snowboarding or skating we all share a common passion and that is our love for adventure and just pure excitement. hopefully you feel the same way as i do after watching this and i hope it makes you want to get out there and adventure in some different transition of your own.

.my posts have been few and far between lately. it might be a mix between being busy and not having worthy enough post to bother viewers. with that being said i’ve compiled my photos from my retallack adventure a week ago and posting them to share with the world. this trip was one of the most amazing times ive had in my life and the memories will never leave my mind. the people and the times we had made for a once in a lifetime experience and its making me antsy for next year. hope these photos give a good show.

I know a lot about jokes
I see them all the time
I spent years with some living jokes
You should see them now
Fat
Stoned
Cowards
Living death
Men of actioned turned into weak pieces of shit
They could get my respect again
If they shot themselves in the head
