Not including double front or double back flips. I've been around for a hot minute and grew up watching skiing what it's become today (late 90's, early 00's). I know Jon got all kinds of credit for the kangaroo flip back in 2006ish, but I'm watching Teddybear Crisis and Mike Wilson definitely...

This is (mostly) for the Canadians, but I'm sure it's a reminder for everyone. I'm a social worker and recently started working at a major hospital in Calgary. A big part of my job is repatriating patients back to their home province/city (ie - hospital to hospital transfers after a major...

These are some some of the best edits to come out in a while. Park and powder is fun, but sometimes just bombing around the mountain is just as fun. Inspired me to pick up used GS race skis. Can't wait to get out on them. https://vimeo.com/238597183...

First episode it out and it's awesome. Everything good about the old Top Gear, including the news (always my favourite part of Top Gear) and a test track. It's a good day.

Are they still a thing? It seems like Chris, Pep and Andy seem to have gone in different directions. Is Pollard even skiing anymore? I remember reading an interview with him (last year maybe?) and he talked about how painful it is to ski since his crazy accident in Russia. I get that nothing...

So I have a few days off this week and am thinking of going for a road trip. Basically, I'd like to drive two days (there and back) and have one day to wander and hang out. I live in Calgary and I'm thinking I'll either: - drive out to Vancouver or Seattle, hang out for a day and then head...

A truck drove into a crowd and so far 74 people are dead and over 100 have been injured. Also sounds like the truck may have had guns and grenades in it. Being called a terrorist attack. http://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-europe-36799172 Ugh... Just brutal. After the November attacks, I wonder...

So I'm moving this weekend and taking the opportunity to get a new bed as mine is too soft. I've seen a ton of stuff about direct order companies like Casper, Tuft & Needle, Leesa, Endy, etc. There are a ton of them out there and it's seems to be a solid option for a decent price. Does anyone...

I didn't love him, but another big influence and legend in the music world gone at 57

So the Masters is finally upon us. Hands down my favourite sporting even of the year. During the par 3 challenge yesterday, there were 9 hole in ones. Ricky Fowler and Justin Thomas each got one while they were playing the same hole together. Kind of ridiculous. Anyway, who's going to take the...

The season is here. Post all things ball here. Who's going to take it this year? Anything interesting going to happen? Any expansion teams? I'm a lifelong Jays guy, so it's been sweet to see them halfway decent again.

Yo. Just a couple of things I'm looking at getting rid of. Buyer pays shipping, but I may be willing to split depending on where/how much. 1. Jiberish Heritage Popover - $80 - size large (28" zipper length) - brand new. Never worn. Got this in the smash and grab, but was sent the...

I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about him, but he just dropped a surprise new album today. Just started listening to it and I'm liking it so far. http://www.theverge.com/2016/3/3/11158490/kendrick-lamar-untitled-unmastered-new-album

So some kids snuck on to the bobsled track with a toboggan at COP in Calgary last night. Apparently while they were cruising down, they crashed into a gate that separated the bobsled and luge track. Two of the kids died and 6 others were injured. I know there are a bunch of Calgary locals here...

Back in the day, it seemed like some of the best shots were sequences. The pictures and posters I took out of magazines had epic sequence shots, but it seems like they've all but disappeared and it's sad. Maybe it's just because Freeze is gone... Bring back the sequence! One of my...
