Thats right I’m back and by back I mean I’ll be making post filled with links and things you most likely don’t care about. I’ll start with this one. In other news I’m writing this from the restroom in the new RUKUS. I’m telling you this for two reasons. The first being a shameless plug and the second to warn you that starbucks and volcano tacos in the a.m. are a bad idea. Oh and that reminds me big ups to my boy Ryker. The kid rips on the wakeskate and skateskate. I’m sure as soon as Pappalardo leaves the wood shop he’ll produce some proof. Until then Cheers!

This is by no means Ryker’s welcome to the team clip, but it’s cold and I wanted to get you something. We rode the cable yesterday. It was really cold so we only rode about 15 laps. This is what we got.

Thanks to Colin at Liquid Force Films for sending this over.

2011 Alliance Rider of the Year. We are psyched for you!

Our Hero!

No giant alligators here, just a few days of hanging out and a little riding.  Featuring Stefan, Spencer, Buddy, Aaron, and Travis.

We finally broke down and figured out how to make a fan page on Facebook.  We’ve been asking Grant for years to do this to no avail.  Grant is our FB whiz kid, but you couldn’t squeeze one friend suggestion out of him and Dan combined.  Those dudes are stingy.  So I broke down and did it.  Give me some time to iron out the kinks, but go like us anyways.  We are going to be doing some silly contests and things like that to help kill the time for me at 6 AM every morning.

Ryker T. Simmons.  Obscura’s newest Am!  Ryker has been crushing it all around central Texas lately.  From TSR to all the rivers and the lakes that we’re used to.  Welcome to the Team Ryker!  Look for some footage soon, but not too soon, it’s cold!

Check out this video Australia ripper Zac Wood sent over from the Cairns cable park.  Nice work Zac!!!!!

My life has been somewhat of a whirlwind since the Toe Jam. So why don’t I explain things with the help of some photos.

Let’s cut to the chase and start with a bang. I slipped one past the goalie and we’re expecting a boy. Here’s from a recent ultrasound, you can clearly see that he has his Mom’s lips.

To help with this new addition, we packed up and moved a couple blocks over to a larger home. The downfall is there’s no lake in our backyard. But there is a pool so it’s a pretty even trade.

We’ve also decided to sell our boat. Sad but true, though I want to see someone use it as opposed to it sitting in my driveway. You may have seen in on Orlando’s Craigslist, but I also listed it on Wakeskating.com.

Some other fun things have happened in between all of this. For instance, I hung out with the famous street artist, Banksy.

I graduated college… again.

Finally, I played catcher in a legendary wiffleball match in Minnesota. Check out those Christmas trees!
