WCI 05022010

After sending my mom off to Korea and sobbing like a tokki I am, I chilled at the airport – I got drinks from Starbucks and read ‘Samurai Deeper Kyou’ (Manga) Until my laptop broke on me- (Curse you, Toshiba, I am ordering a Dell Studio 15 for my birthday, and I shall not spend a penny on another Toshiba, ever again) Luckily I didn’t have a lot of time left when my laptop broke so I grabbed a magazine on notebook computers and boarded the flight to Mammoth – (My trip was cheap at the total cost of $122 – Because I booked ahead-)

Shaking like a rattle the plane departed the dusty LA sky- Look here- I don’t usually fly during the day so it was interesting to see LAX from the air-

View from the air- LAX!

After about 20 minutes they served beer and wine so I took the opportunity to sip on free booze. And when I was not even done with my wine, they said we were ready to land- And when I looked out the window, everything underneath was covered in snow- I assume it was the Sierra-

View switches to this when we cross the Sierra – Snow covered rocky mountains

After nibbling on some food we headed to watch WCI- This was my third year watching the rail jam at night and it was really cold- Everyone did well and I was surprised how young the crowd got compared to previous years-

@_@ ! @WCI Railjam

We took a good spot but it was very crowded :< And some 7 foot tall guy and his gf stood in front of us blocking everything :< I felt like a midget.

It’s SO cold every year but it was colder this year- Bonobo got sick from standing out too long :<

Quack! Yonincy duckly

This is the setup- Riders seem to get younger and younger-

Setup was pretty basic but the middle kink rail seemed to give people a hard time- Personally I think Tyler did really well too but the prize went to Ryan Paul- I am glad he got it because his front flip 180 really made the competition hot and from what I hear more than anyone he seems to need the money ! 10 grand yo!

Mammoth Treats

3 reasons why I flying to Mammoth is cool

1. Flight time is 1 hour and 10 minutes

2. They serve you wine – after you finish the glass, you are already there

3. I got to take pictures and talk with JP, Simon, Joe Sexton – I mean I’ve seen them at bear before- Passed by them, I eyed them etc, but I never really had the chance to talk- Very cool! Bonobo kind of made me do it too haha- And JP made me say that I suck because he asked if I was representing at Bear after I said I go to Bear and Mammoth almost every week during season- So hearing that I ride very often JP Walker asked me…

JP Walker: So you repping out there?

Me: Uh, actually I kind of suck :< I don’t have a lot of power-

JP: But snowboarding is about finesse too-

Me: Uh…. :<

JP: So you are an all around klutz huh-

Me: Yeah :< My balance isn’t that bad but overall it’s a miracle I snowboard at all-

JP: Yeah but what can you do?

Me: backside slide :<

Simon: Back 5?

JP: Backside Slide-

JP: Do you jump at all?

Me: small ones only!

…. (silence)

Me: But I have a lot of fun -!

JP: That’s the most important part!

Me: -_-;;


At Mammoth Airport with Joe Sexton, Simon Chamberlain(cute and tall!), and JP Walker! What a treat :D

At Mammoth Airport with Joe Sexton, Simon Chamberlain, and JP Walker - I am not the most outgoing person in the world so it took a while to conjure up the nerves to say meekly "Can I take a picture with you guys!"

Clouds of Mammoth- This too, was a treat
