You know what really grinds my gears? Flat tires

Preparing to go on my first road ride of the season on my bike, I began to inflate my tires to proper air pressure using my hand pump.

The stem on one of my tires looked a little loose, but was in a hurry so I paid little attention. Next thing I knew and the piece broke off, leaving nothing to keep the pressure in the tube.

This blow out ruined my ride-not-to-be. I guess it just isn’t quite the right season for biking yet. Its still time to get out and shred the slopes!

But I will be out hittin the pedals soon enough. I can’t wait to be out biking again, in preparation for another sprint triathalon I hope.

Imagine you go skiing on a powder day with only 8″ of new snow, but when you bend down to make a turn, the powder gets almost twice as deep. Snow will be up to your thighs and waist instead of at the top of your boots! The telemark turn, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

Carving through the fresh pow pow, bouncing from ski to ski, rooster tails coming from my G3 Rapid Transit Telemark skis is one of the best feelings ever. It is close to flying some might say; Telemark is the definition of bliss.

I first got into Telemark skiing because of the family connections. My Dad, and his two younger brothers all have telemarked for about 20+ years.

Crusing the slopes with these “three-pinners” all the time on my snowboard was fun, but they were always getting to the untouched stashes that I couldn’t access on a board!

At age 15 I decided that I had to try it. I got my uncles old equipment to see if I was really interested in skiing. After doing a half-season of skiing last year, I was ready to switch over fully and get myself a pair of new skis, My G3′s.

These fatty skis have proved to me why the telemark turn is superior to both snowboarding and downhill skiing.

This is quite possibly the game of the year. It was only released on Tuesday, November 10; but the hype has come true.

The features of the game are so advanced and complex that they will leave your mind blown away.
