does anyone here watch The Snowboard Realms? its a cool snowboard series by TJ Schneider from Capita and gives an awesome view on the life of a pro.

here is the most recent episode, just wanted to share because there is a crazy bit at 6:51 in which you have to watch. guy nearly eats it but some how saves his ass and pulls some weird combo

One week left in the Bahamas before we return to Whistler. We went sailing on the big boat today which was really cool. Also played a bit of tennis in the evening for the first time in about 10 years. Have a great day everyone!

Hope the knee holds up Dan and you can keep riding!

Did a trial pack of luggage today for Japan, and all looking good. Im under weight with my board bag and carry on luggage, and i packed more than i probably need. and still have heaps of room in both bags. which is good for when i want to do a bigger trip.
Starting to get pumped!

Leaving on the 27th for 10days. I will do daily updates of our antics. Looking at geting a new GoPro HD as my older one doesnt cut it anymore, so hopefully i will make some vids, and a movie of our trip. I want to wear the headcam one night out in Tokyo cheese just to see what crazy stuff we get up to

Thanks for the tips Mizu! Will try to bring back some stuff like that for sure. My bro will have a large board bag like mine, but no where near as much gear as i will,  so we can use his to boost up our supplies of booze and bits n pieces on the way back.

Thats the way Dan, your there for the season, so just take it easy get back into gradually

Japan, Japan, Japan!!!!!

That’s all I hear this time of year, my mate is leaving on Tuesday - I should be going dammit!! SDS bad.

Today - After putting a few hours in editing, I mowed. When I finished and went to go inside, there was a package on the doorstep - my Empi Quickshift (short throw, T-handle shifter) so I spent the afternoon playing with the interior of my car. What a difference the Quickshift makes, it has probably taken 2 or 3 sec off my acceleration. And it looks way cool cool smile and was soooo cheap - they normally sell for $100-$200 but on E-Bay $45 + postage

K2, a movie of your trip in Japan would be awesome! I’m hoping Japan will be my next snow destination.

Spaz, have fun with the quickshift! I had one in my VX SS, it was so much fun - the tires would chirp so easy from first to second gear.

Now I’m just worried about doing in the gearbox (again) now I can get the power to it quicker.

K2 has reminded me I must make sure my mate takes one of my headcams with him.

WOW

Mizu must be doing a long shift wink What about the rest of you?
10 1/2 hours since I posted this morning and no one in the LineUp.

After sending my mate a txt about taking a headcam to Japow, he txt’d back telling me there were waves so I took off to the beach.
Arrived there in the rain and surfed just after high tide. Decided to hang around to see how it would fair as the tide dropped and what do you know… the sun came out and a few waves were had. (vid and photo’s to come for the surf section)

I’ve only just come home now, surf stoked and sun stroked.
