To ring in the New Year, why not a gnarly assembly of ski and toboggan bails to make sure you're 'on it' this coming year. 2008 is going to rule if it keeps up like this. enjoy, and play safe. not like these guys. 

Blazing into its third year, the Subaru U.S. Freeskiing Series (USFS) and Freeskiing World Tour (FWT) have become the largest cohesive competitive Big Mountain Freeskiing tours in the history of the sport, with the Subaru USFS featuring an unprecedented six stops. With two new locations added to the already impressive roll-call of resorts, both tours culminate at the ultimate big mountain competition venue of Alyeska Resort, Alaska, in April.

I'm famous, in the most hilarious way, so in this case it's fair for me to toot my own horn. Because its more of a kick in the nuts than a horn toot. Andre just spotted a photo he took of me a couple winters ago in Ruby Bowl, Blackcomb, BC.

The article in ESPN grabbed his creative commons photo for the article, which is great and all, but...

Instead of choosing the sequence of me doing the 40 ft crotch grab with true gaper style, they chose a photo of me sitting on top of the cliff waiting for the camera set up. So classic. That beats Ski Canada anyday.
