He had a dress up in ,whatever you think people might have been wearing the year he was born, 1969 party. It was so good to see the effort people made, I unfortunately ended up skating all day and all I could muster up was a tie die t-shirt, Sorry Bruce and Narelle !

Other people on the other hand went all out

Finally A New Update !!!!

So I (SC) have been working at least 12 hours a day and coming home and falling asleep straight away, so hence the lack of updates. TC has also been working late every day and the company she works for looks like it might be out of the woods for the time being (touch wood).

Sunday was our first full day off since being back from SLC, the weather was great and to start the day we went to the local breakfast spoke with Miami Mike. It was my first time shooting with my new fish eye lens hence all the shots below, sorry for the over kill :)


Heres TC and Mike preparing to EAT.


Troy aka Frank the Tank was trying to sober up at the breakfast bar with his Girl and her son. Great People for sure


Miami has never washed his car he went to buy petrol the other day and since it was so so cheap he decided to wash his car for the first time in years, here he is looking proud


This week Darren from our head office in sydney came down to help with showings ! Heres he and Tc happy to be home after a late night of work

Good way to end a trip to Salt Lake City


Mitch yet again chucking a good method


Mike blazing tracks


Me pretending to film a part for a surf movie in the snow


Marc learnt this trick from his brother Rick


Anyone Say Groundhog day, Robbie walker was just filming close by for the new People movie so he came and ate also.

Leaving was pretty sad, especially since there was about 4 inches on the freeway
Im missing everyone already


TC now has her own TV show


So our plane got delayed due to mechanical errors so we got to stay in a pretty swish motel in LA for free, id rather be home though.

Day 21 and 22 I wish It wouldn't have to End

Saturday was day 21 and it snowed around 10 inches over night, Og Utah friend Brenner Adams picked me up nice and early and We got to Brighton nice and early. So early in fact we got to wait in the cold for the chair to open up.


Ski Patrol making sure it nice and safe for us :)


Brighton Im going to miss you !!!!


The Bakers rocked up and it was Utah reunion, the bakers have been coming to utah for as long as I have way over 10 years and Brenner was the person that introduced us to Utah when he worked at Winterstick snowboards.


Mitch got worked, his roomate borrowed some screws and didn't put them back, he had to take chair down !!! Im pretty sure he is now moving out


That night we went to dinner and Old Friend Ryley rocked up ! Ryley is the nicest gangster youll ever meet.

Sunday was going to be the coldest day of they year, as we drove up it was -1 f, which is minus 18 in celcuis, ccccccoooooolllld.
Shannon and Tara came up as did Shannons mom and dad. It warmed up pretty quickly though and there where so many many hits its was awesome, it did feel like first day I could do a few little jumps since the freaking rock accident.


Who said its hard to drink in Salt Lake City, here is a random guy pounding beers at the top of Crest Lift. Check Marc in the background freaking out


TC and Leslie (shannons, tc best friends mom), thats a mouthful

Days 19 and 20 in Good Old Salt Lake City

Day 19 for SC/Tc in Salt Lake was spent resting, I did stretches and heat packs to try and get this stupid bruising fixed to little or no avail. TC shopped and watched movies with her family. It was then great to go eat cafe rio with Rick Baker and chill with peeps at the milo superstore, including good dudes Keegan and Cale.
Today was a little overcast and not looking that great for riding, Rick and I went up anyway and had a ball. Little groomer jibs and hits.


Ricks Got a Great Method, most people think of pro snowboarder jamie lynn when they chuck methods. Not me I think of Ricks and Dr jumps methods


Anyone that has been to Brighton more than a couple times knows this Girl commonly know as Miss Milly, a legend she is the person who takes your shot when you get a season pass.


Friday Night at Gateway Mall, downtown Salt Lake City

Oh Yeah its dumping outside Snowboarding is going to be fun tomorrow, three more days here then back to an Aussie summer. Which I am actually looking forward to, Tc will be sad but as long as it is sunny back home she will cheer up.
