Winter Splinter2007
Sometimes It Snows In April
And with this we'll move on to the Intermediate class. How insane is the Intermediate class? Half of the kids in it were backflipping the big box. This is also about the time that Holy Diver came back on. That's also probably the last time I'll use that joke. If nothing I'm not one who beats a joke into the ground. I believe Mssr. Powerstroke was on the m-i-c at this point witnessing Kent take his shirt off for the first of like 40 times. "Kent Pearson, put your shirt back on, nobody needs to needs to see a gray haired old man with his shirt off!" This prompted The Mrs. to say, "I think his hair looks good. It makes him look distinguished." Kent Pearson, stay away from my woman.

Mick Malick is 11 or 12 years old. The greatest fear of almost everyone over the age of 30 was that he was going to enter beginner instead of intermediate. Fortunately, Sean's pride was spared. |

I don't know what I'm more jealous of, this kids skills or his bike. |

If memory serves this kid did this three coming backwards across the box. Not that he's dyslexic or anything, he just enjoys doing things wrong. The hitchhiking cowboy looks on in amazement. Seriously, who was that guy? |

Big backflip behind the pole. Ok, it wasn't the biggest backflip, but when you consider the box is five, six feet tall and his heads a couple of feet above that you realize that he's scaREWED if he lands on his head. Also, stupid pole. |

While I realize that it's wrong to hate on a kid who's young enough to be your child, hate is all I've got, man. Mick "More Hair More Air" Malick with the one handed feeb. |

From left to right: "I'm cute and I have a MASSIVE flash" "I wonder how many people think I'm Morgan Wade?" "Wow" "I wonder if anyone knows I'm colorblind?" |

By turning a safety cone into his front wheel, this cat managed to avoid colliding with anyone during the jam session. |

If I was a better photographer I'd have gotten a picture of the peg actually touching the ledge. Of course if I was a better photographer I'd be charging you to look at my pictures, so stop complaining. |

Jamey James from Rome busting out the footplant across the 4' quarter/wedge ledge. James is wearing a Pittsburgh shirt, The Mrs. is a Pittsburgh fan. James rides a Hoffman Bama frame. I'm from Bama. Everyone wins here. |

More skilled or less lazy people would remove the bar from in front of this kickass one handed zero footed can-can. Those people lack journalistic integrity. This is what you'd have seen if you had looked at this guy from where I was standing. This is what you see now. |
