Pre Season Snowboard Action

Mad early season snow farming pays off, especially when a session like this commences. the boys were throwin down sick all day. They were also throwin down cheap whiskey while driving truckloads of snow down the hill from boreal the night before. bs and fs board slides. 5050's switch. fakie-outs. Solid shit.

Then, while the amped-up but worn-out crew was taking a break to repair their beautiful harvested snow and wait for McDonalds, up pulls a white Subaru to this secret stash of jibbing mayhem. Subaru's, being the Honda civics of Tahoe, are great surprises because they could be carrying just about anyone in the world. But who was in this one?

"Oh fuck! Its erc! Erc, how do you always find us?"

"Just do bro bra, now lemme show you how to rock rental board."

Burton boards are known for having really sharp, really strong edges that should always be filed down, or de-tuned, before taken to the snow. Boreal employees are known for not caring enough to de-tune 300 boards every season. Erc was known for not putting two and two together when he should.

He dropped in and dug his heel edge hard into that down rail throwing him down on his side where the wallet in his right back pocket would be packed with ice and dirt.

After shaving the ding out of the rail, erc shaved off his edges on a nearby boulder. Legs still shaking after every climb back up the hill, the session finished itself off like a perpetual adrenaline machine.

Michael Jackson blasting from somebody's car, the guys were just feeding off each other landing trick after trick, tail press after nose press, fs noseslide after switch run-in, fakie after fs tailslide. These guys were definitely DSWI.

The hottest fire of this premature jubilation session was stomped by erc right before he left for work. Switch out after 180 to fs boardslide on the down after bs boardslide on the flat. In laymen's, bs boardslide, 180 to fs boardslide to switch out. as he was leaving he heard the guys all talking about him, most likely talking about how much style and talent he has and comparing the angles at which they witnessed his last trick.

"Did you see that gaper?"

"yeah somehow he always tracks us down."

"-and fucks up our landings."

"then he always bums our beer."

As erc was passing by the house on his way to work, the boys thought it would be nice to give him mad props with a barrage of snowballs to his car.

Erc thought to himself that they might try getting some cleaner snow to ride on because those snowballs sure seemed to have a lot of dirt and rocks in them.
