Video from the Galibier

God I love riding. This was an epic day. Poor old Mike did all the work up the Col du Telegraphe, but I was Menchoving so well that day, when he flicked his elbow, all he got was cold, steely Russian “Nyet”. Hhahaa.

Anyway, it was all high-larious up the Galibier then I wacked the gas on.

Snow Shred Late Sept 09 Australia

To be honest, apart from opening weekend (no lifts open), I hadn’t snowboarded all season; frankly, I was really, really jaded. By the industry, by the whole thing.
