I was really sick this past weekend. I woke up on Friday with a fever that didn't go away until Saturday night. It peaked at about 102 degrees and would vary between that and 100 degrees. Not fun...all I did was lay on my couch and sleep. I feel great now though :)
I've been filming a lot lately for my final project. I have a video production class and access to some really nice cameras. Obviously (I hope) I'm doing it on snowboarding. So most of my snowboard days have become filming days. Which to my surprise, I don't mind at all. I had a little incident last week though...
I had filmed some follow shots and then we stopped to film one rail for a few shots. I took off my snowboard and put it into the snow vertically. I moved up and got some shots. Then there was a huge gust of wind...I look over and my board had fallen. Then it started to slide...DOWNHILL and was gone. I had to walk the rest of the way down the mountain with my camera in-hand. People on the chairlift told me where it went and my friend Cheston found it for me.
To my surprise, my board (my baby) was fine. One of my bindings wasn't though...the heel cup (the C-shape at the top of the picture) was bent in. It was still ok to ride on...just felt weird and the high back didn't fit well anymore. Ride bindings have a lifetime warranty on bending on the heel cup and base plate. And I bought them from Backcountry which has a 100% return policy. But I wasn't sure what would go down since I bought them with my discount.
Well...I went to the Backcountry retail store today and WA-LAAA! New shiny bindings! Fast and easy! No problem!

I'm glad you're feeling better and that your snowboard is all fixed up. Are you so counting the days until graduation?! I can't stand it! I'm excited for you. Any plans yet?
