Heard you just came from Wolf Creek, how was it?
It was epic! Three days of powder, good
warm up for the season. Just chillin' in Aspen
right now, gotta do the ESPN Freeride
Champion Contest.
What event are you running?
Boardercross, slopestyle, and triple air.
Aspen looks pretty fun, what do you think?
Can't wait to get out there, too bad it's only
open to snowboarders during the contest.
Yeah, that's pretty beat. You know how it is,
they gotta look cool and make a statement or
something. So, where to after this?
Back to Tahoe for the goods. Hopefully hang-
ing out at home through the holidays.
How about the fat one who owned the
Reno skatepark?
Yeah, he fucked our shit up! Kept all the
profits to his head and shut down the park real
quick. That was super cheesy, bummed all of
those kids out for sure.
Rumor has it some cement is coming to Reno
this spring.
A friend of mine says the plans look really good.
We definitely need something like that; It's
about time. Any last words to the public?
Shred the gnar.

Clockwise from left: Ben knows how to serve up the old traditionals, grasser
in the afterglow of an exploding sun. Going for it, Ashburner fronside pokes
all the way to the Nevada state line. This is what Ben looks like dressed in
winter camo. There is a price on his head, so use this image to track him
down and get the cash. The Incline ramp gets criddled with a frontal ollie.
