Hey everyone I realize I haven't updated my ski's page in a very long time so I thought i would throw it in with the one video of how my ski sounds, along with the riding pictures from this last season.
The video was great quality yet brought down for youtube compression, so I realize the lettering isn't very easy to see (its a bit better in full screen), so heres the full run up of what is has now.

Update as of this post 9/13/07
-I am currently back in school to finish my Senior year and final wrestling season which will end around late Feb/early March.
- Had many Great runs this year with the Oceanside Sunday morning crew, including Ross Champion, Mike Serlin. John, Brad W., x2 Matt C, DJ, (Han Solo)Tom, and the Mayor himself Randy Lane. I lost spark towards the end of my last session of the season at Oceanside but got those final shots on the slide show throwing some big stabs.
-Pulled the engine out and have decided that 2 long loyal years of HEAVY USE on original 1994 pistons and seals has been well enough for the engine.
- So this is the Rebuild season I will completely strip the engine down make sure the crank is in good condition, reseal, boar for some fresh pistons, and get her all ready for another great spring/summer season.
And FYI Freeride is a VERY expensive hobby for a high schooler to have and self support. Holy crap yet like Ross said in The Addiction, it gets to a point where you do anything no matter how much money, just give me my parts!
I wouldn't Trade this for anything in the world
Thank you everybody for the support through any and all problems and good times.
Know I'm Just sitting back getting through school and saving up for all engine work.
Doing my part to promote the sports growth.
Thanks
