The season begins
Well the season has begun! As I hope most of you have noticed, the first race of the 2008 season is behind us, congrats to the boys on the podium, especially Ted, who looks like he has found his GS form early this season. The Soelden race is always a bit of a tease for us Downhill boys, we still have a month before we get to kick out of the start gate!
I have been thinking about what actually goes into each new season of racing. We have been prepping for this season since the last one ended in March, or at least thinking about it, and itching to get another shot at the courses that ate us up last season. When it comes down to it, I will race 7 super G and 10 Downhills this winter, at roughly two minutes a piece that adds up to a grand total of about 34 minutes on course! 34 minutes a year that are totally free! Free of any second thoughts, free of distraction, most of all free to do what I truly love and soak it in so i can share with everybody how it truly feels!
I have 34 minutes to become a Champion! Hell of a lot of time and money is spent on us to be at our best for those few minutes each year.
We are at the end of our prep period for this season, I head out to Colorado tomorrow morning and I am so stoked to be getting back on snow. I have not skied since I fractured both of my heels in Chile, so I am going to have to take it easy for a couple days, doctors orders! Luckily it is the type of injury that is healed completely after 6 weeks and so I can ramp it up pretty quickly once I know that all is well.
Just a reminder for all you fans, Beaver Creek, the only men’s World Cup stop in the United States is exactly one month away. Get your tickets booked and come out to watch the U.S. stand on the podium! It is always sweeter with the home town fans screaming for you! Talk to ya soon, and remember that if there are any topics you would like me to write about or questions you want answered leave em in the comment section!

HAY, what the blog is goin on here? I know! Its that retarded sign-in process that’s a pain in the arsss. Last year a person could just go to the wcsn page and rip on everyone. Buuuuut now I have to remember a stupid password. How is a person to remember a password when they are drunk?????? This is the primary reason for the small blog count. No password, more people to cheer you on YAAAAAAAAA. Loook Im cheeeeeeering, YAAAAAAAAA. NOW BRING IT ON BIZNACH.

Totally agree with The P. As always.

So yeah I am back. I’ve been waiting for that password for days until i realized it was lost in the trash can among other interesting e-mails offering me a variety of unwanted pills and stuff. I saved you from there! Who own me! Now it’s time to stop extracting your belly botton fluff and to start going downhill!

Ah yes, bringing the same noise this winter, however, under a different alias. It is good to see “The I got a little P” is still on board and making very little to no sense at all. Don’t worry little P, I can bring a mullet wig and a mustache to the Beav for you, that way you have some sort of a chance of getting into that bar that really seems to not like your kind.
Oh yea, Marco, rip shit up. We will be rooting for ya from afar and near while at the Beav. It’s ok Bob the Carpenter to admit that you take Viagra….

Marco………oh Marco Poo. I’m not sure if you remember me or not; but you were the guy with the bottle of Tequila at the most AMAZING WEDDING ever and I was the girl doing the worm. Anyway, hope you are feeling better because in addition to the 100 fans arriving from Tahoe, Jackson and Boston to cheer you on in the Beav, we’ve also got a marching band, 2 elephants and a Philadelphia boys choir attending the World Cup to show our support. Love you, Lizard

This new system is not to my liking; the whole log in process and what not. However, if “Mini-P” can do it, well so can I. Rest assured Inverted-P that it is on! I agree with Mr. T that “P-less” is babbling as usual. A fine representative of the U.S. military.
Chick P, I hope your swimming lessons are going well.
As for you Marco, you are the chosen one. Kill ‘em all.

p.s. How is B.A. Barachus?
