THANKS TECHNINE!

All he could say was "That's so SWEET!"

Andreas Wiig...

When Tristin was hanging out in town, the team was playing "Tap" with Andreas Wiig and Scotty Arnold. Tristin tapped Andreas and he picked him up and ran around with him. This is the only pic his friend got from his camera phone

Back from Mt Hood!!!!

Tristin is back from Mt Hood, OR with lots of new friends and memories!

He had a great time snowboarding out at Windells with his teammates in June!

Here are some of his pics he took along the way!

Mt Hood...Day 2

Last night:

Tristin called and said "Mom...I think I broke my wrist, or twisted it
bad" He was pretty bubbly though and didn't sound upset. I asked How
and he explained he was ollieing over something on his skateboard and
fell.

9am:

"Hi Mom, we are heading up to the mountain to snowboard!" he was pretty excited!

8pm:

"Hi Mom, I couldn't find my goggles in my bag so I had to buy a new pair!" YEAH RIGHT! Good reason to get a new pair...he has been wanted a new pair! "I got a pair that came with a bonus pair, so I got two pairs!" "Oh...and I lost my lift pass!" So how are you going to snowboard? "I don't know! Guff didn't know, he will find out tomorrow"

Trying something new...

Tristin was in the Outer Banks of North Carolina for a week and tried a couple new things!

Sandboarding on the Dunes

Boogyboarding in the Atlantic

Mt Hood...Here we come!

Tristin left for Mt Hood this morning at 7am! He is by far the smallest and youngest, but he will have a great time and learn lots...hopefully snowboarding stuff and not older kid stuff!

6:30pm: Tristin just called and is heading to Mt Hood. He said they saw Mt St. Helens and they are almost to camp. He sounded very excited and said they got to skateboard in the airport too!

Snow in May????

First G-Team rail jam! Yep...70 degrees and sunny and snow!

Little patch of snow about 100 feet long with some rails to grind!

Skateboard training...

Skateboard training has also started and thankfully we had nice weather after two days of rain and a chance of snow even! The first morning the clouds parted and the sun came out. It was a cool 45 degrees though with strong winds.

Tristin hadn't been to a skate park before and enjoyed all the different features of the park. He picked it up pretty quickly and learned how to drop in too.

Trampoline Training...

Trampoline Training has started and Tristin is enjoying it very much.

He says that it goes too fast. He is landing his 540 spin, doing arials and

front flips. Plus, he loves hanging out with such a cool guy like Guff.

Sk8boarding...

We are on to skateboarding and trampoline for the summer!

We built a halfpipe in the garage for Tristin to practice on.

The halfpipe is 4 ft tall on each side and has a tabletop on one side.
