Is blogging still a thing?

So there I was, drinking beer and looking at the internet. What ever happened to my blog..... I don't think people even realize that I race mountain bikes for a living. I think people know me as that guy who posts weekly POV videos on YouTube about riding on the edge of some scary cliff in the desert. I am a Vlogger now, do I really need a blog? Well, after a two-year hiatus, I just turned it back on because it made me smile. Let me know what you guys think. Times were simpler then. More projects, more problems. Wouldn't trade it for anything. ​

Angel Fire Opening Weekend 2019

#followcamfriday continuing the opening weekend tour with a stop at the Angel Fire Bike Park to ride with the man, the myth, the legend, Chris Boice. 
I only ride park. On opening weekends.... It's all blown out after that. Powder days are hard to come by anymore, so get out there while the getting is good. It only gets dryer from here. Dustbowl.

This photo represents the dustiest turn of the weekend. Chris did just blow this thing up and all, but the dust factor was minimal, as compared to last year when I actually rode with a dust mask to prevent black lung. True story. Hide your berms kids, Chris is looking for holes to smash. Interestingly enough, the park was in such good shape that the holes were hard to find. #searchingforholes

Mr. Chris Boice is an absolute legend. Few people alive turn a bike like Chris. Races are won in the turns and Chris has won a lot of races. Now he mostly races RC cars, converts Sprinters into tiny homes,  and climbs rocks, but he is still unbelievably pinned, off of the couch. Pinned like I am hanging on by a thread pinned.... Chris Boice things.

My Bike for AF
SPEC HERE
I couldn't be more stoked on my new rig. This is the perfect setup for crushing park laps and DH trails, despite being reasonable capable on the uphill... Not that I am trying to ride any uphill this weekend. She is build for smashing into things and giving less fucks. My kind of girl.

I have been visiting Angel Fire for the better part of 15 years, racing and riding, and it is nice to see the place growing and evolving into a modern bike park. The builders have done an amazing job over the last handful of years, turning this place into what it is today. Good work squad. The trails are unbelievably fun to ride. Now if we could just fix the food scene in town. I will still drive to Taos for a proper taco until conditions improve.

What park should I visit next? I am running out of opening weekends, but there is still a ton of snow in the high country to keep the alpine parks from opening on time. Any moisture is good moisture, and as a general rule, we need more of it. Always. I am interested to see when, or should I say "if" the alpine opens this season. Time will tell. Until then, I will be smashing low laps with the boys.
