We also restocked our women's snowboard selection. You can now select from the following:
Burton
Feather in a 144
G-Twin in a 146 and 153
Lux 136 and 147
Blender in a 151
Gnu
B Nice in a 148
Never Summer
Pandora-R in a 143
Infinity-R in a 149
A pretty good selection in my opinion.
In other awesome news, Danny Davis got 1st at the Mammoth Mountain stop for the USSA Grand Prix. The contest, as a whole, is the qualifier for this years Winter Olympics. His winning run consisted of 5 hits; a switch double cork, a 900, a 180 with a crail grab, a double cork, and then a 3rd double cork.
He landed the first switch double cork at the Grand Prix, as well as the first person to land 3 double corks in a comp.
If you didn't know, Danny Davis is from Highland, Michigan. His home resort is Alpine Valley. Way to represent the high-five state!!!
Here's the video of his winning run:
So, last blog post I talked about Kevin Pearce's recent injury. This is the latest from his doctor; "We've been able to remove his breathing tube, and he is slowly regaining consciousness and able to follow commands." Here is the article with an update.
On Wednesday, ABC's Good Morning America did a story about Kevin Pearce and his injury. I watched in on ABC's website, and was extremely embarrassed with the information that was given. Christine Brennan's "expert" information was the worst part. She clearly doesn't have real knowledge about the world of snowboarding.
Click here to watch the report on ABC.
After watching the video, if it make you as embarrassed/angry as I am, you should email Christine Brennan with your thoughts. Here is her email: christine@christinebrennan.com
Pass it along to your snowboarder friends, so she gets a ton of emails regarding her lack of knowledge.
Well that'll all I have for today. Enjoy the massive amount of snow that we are getting in the next two days!
