iChatting With the Homies, Pt. 1- Josh Sherman

Welcome to a new feature here at The Adventure Capitalist, a little thing I'm gonna call "iChatting With the Homies" where from time to time I'll post up some conversations with, well, yeah, you guessed it, the homies.  For part one we've got Josh Sherman, aka Big Sherm.  Sherm is a young shred from the snowboarding mecca of Wisconsin who after honing his skills took 'em to the Big Leagues of Summit County, Colorado, Breckenridge to be exact.  There he fell in with the rest of the Mid-Westerners that have made Breck their base of operations.  Guys like Mike Casanova and the GrandDaddy, Chad Otterstrom.  Here's what Sherm has been up to lately....

PS- Click on the pics to enlarge, makes 'em easier to read.

The Southern Gentleman

So I noticed that of all the pics I put up from the Butt Slut Hut Tour I neglected to include one of DustNap.  So here you go, the Flying Dust Pan, in the air and nearly touching his board.  Nice one Dusty....

Old Fukkas on Shred

This could be fun but my back started screaming in protest when I read the word "mogul".  I've got a board ready to go, anybody else for a trip to Donner?

Slasher Surf Club

Check out this little vid  of me slashing.  DustNap shot it the other day at the Bird.  This was a pretty nice day of short-Baldy hikes with Danky and DustNap, there's a couple photos from that day below....

BirdShot

So I've been lucky enough to get up to the Bird a few times in the last couple weeks (props to the "Bad Lieutenant", you know who you are), I sure have missed that place.  Did I mention I'm a Weekend Warrior now?  Very interesting after all these years of doing whatever the fuck I want, whenever the fuck I want to be limited to standing in line with people looking at trail maps.  There are a lot of familiar faces still running around up there too though, I guess old habits are hard to break, especially when they're as fun as shredding the Bird.  Too bad the powers that be up there are a bunch of fuckin hippies that love skiing.

Got to shred with DankDan and DustNap a couple weeks ago, good thing the Umbrella Tree is still standing

Free Bird....
Superior is pretty much superior...
See what I'm talking about?
Hello, my name is Shawn Boyle....hahaha!  Fuck you!  Thank god for gangsta masks
Duckworth regulating on the crowd of weekend warriors
A familiar sight.  Gee DustNap, you sure have a lot of "condensation" in your breath
Danky soul carving above the the Masses of Beaters
DustNap too
Look out for that rock Dusty (check out Shreddisasters post below)

Earning My Keep

The Grease Family has been kind enough to let me stay at Le Maison de Grease for the last little while.  Little did I know Chris had some "chores" in  mind for me while I was there.  Breaking up the concrete stairs in their driveway for instance...  Oh well, good thing I like to swing the sledgehammer.

Hello, my name is "SnowPatch", but you can call me Homer

Chris thought he was going to be able to drill holes in this thing and would fall apart.  Um, no.

This is what it's all about, hammer that bitch.
You call that a swing?

Oh sweet!  Re-bar!  Did I mention that the former owner of this home also owned a concrete cutting company?  Suffice to say these steps were built to last...and I mean outlast a like a nuclear assault.

So anyway, Chris had to end up renting an electric jackhammer and finishing on Monday.  Unfortunately, I couldn't be there but it sure looked like a lot of fun!

Shredisaters

Shit happens on the snow.  Recently, in the course of 4 short days, I witnessed the destruction of two snowboards and a tib/fib fracture by a complete ran-dumb stranger.

Lib Tech has been killing it with Banana Technology this season.  In response Burton has developed "Reverse Banana Technology".  Tim has been doing some R&D for them...

This guy decided he wanted a couple extra joints in his leg so he threw himself into a tree.  This nice ski patrol wanted to check it out so he cut the guys pant leg off.
Dusty mounted his brand new CAPiTA Black Snowboard of Death for a pow day at the Bird.  One and 1/4 runs into it it was a Dead Black Snowboard of Death....

 

Evolution

A new look for a new year?  Yeah, I know I'm a month and a half late, so what?

Welcome Bitches

That's right, it's a whole new world of shit spewing forth from what's left of my mind for you to enjoy.  Maybe some words, probably a lot of photos, maybe some video...who knows what you're going to get.  Kind of a lot like me, a loose cannon but in a digital format.  Anyway, here's a link to some other stuff that I've put up in the past at a different address:

Have fun looking at that crap for a minute and then enjoy some new stuff from the life of The Adventure Capitalist, Pouch.
