early season shredding, Mt.Hood...
...went up to timberline for a santa jam... since i had a late night before and all the other gnar hawks were stuck in the mud, i finally got a hold of anthony who had just driven all night to get to portland from up north... he was still down for the shred and it turned out to be awesome because the torrential downpour that had killed the morning let up just as we showed up in the parking lot(heavenly cloud breaking light shine through music inserted here...)
...so the santa seemed to be more fun for the crowd than the riders, with a live DJ, Mervin doing demo's, and rockstar getting everyone jacked up on mt. dew... there were a few schralpers were throwing down after drinking a dozen or so rockstars and then getting schlangshotted into the rain soaked snow at some fun little jumps with sweet christmas tree jibs... they also had a wild setup featuring some fallen trees for santa slidin'...
...the best part about this was that the park was totally empty and all the jumps and rails were in primo condition!! might i add that there were a couple new features and soft snow!! basically got as gnar as possible in two hours we had left, threw down a bunch of stache blasted 1987 methods, a few stoney baloney's and a couple lipslide 270's... anthony was steezin big backflips and gettin down on the boxes... saw a couple local shred bum fellow schralpers mikey, matt, and megan...
we proceeded to beat the park up like it owed us money...powgnar...zigaloha...
