My separated shoulder is healing nicely and I've been out riding and having a ball in the nice wet spring weather.  I'm actually cutting out of work early today to play in the wet DG (decomposing granite) from last night and today's rain.  It's a Tahoe bikers powder day!!!

Well on the whole we had a fantastic weekend at Fort William. The race, weather and whole event was amazing. As you can see we took top honours for the weekend winning the best team award. It was great having the while team up on the podium in front of the cheering race fans.

Too-many-shoes-in-the-duffle-bag... Easy to lose! Ya know when you're packing for an extended trip and you have a handful of shoes that you want to bring, but bringing more than three shoes makes you feel like a total lame-o (plus you don't have the room in your bag anyway)? How do you narrow it down!?! They all have their uses right? The Blancos might come in handy on the Taipan wall, while the Projects could work really well on the Wheel of Life...

Most people ask, “why was your trip to Japan only three days Ethan?!?” The reason the trip was only three days and not longer was because I had finals the day after I got back. Bummer, I know. And I’ve been mega busy since then, getting ready for my six-week trip to Australia that’s coming up in just a few days!!! It’s a hard life, I know. Someone’s gotta do it. Better that it’s me jumping on...

Here's a few shots that my buddy Ryan Olson and fellow FiveTen team mate took of a new project of mine at Murrin Park, Squamish BC. I originally got tipped off on this rig a few years ago when my friend Zack Smith told me about it. Apparently, he did all the moves but couldn't link it. I tried it a couple years ago... without any luck. Now, it seems feasible. Runout and hard. It's a wild line up an otherwise totally blank section of rock. Right now its pissing rain here in Squamish but I've got...
