Happy Anniversary!

I created the blog a year ago, but my first post was August 19, 2007 and it was just an introduction to me….I’m the writer, the editor, the photographer and the model on my own site. I’m not a pro snowboarder, I’m just your average rider out there riding and having fun with friends. I don’t work for a snowboard company and I try to remain unbiased when it comes to reviewing gear…whether it’s Burton, Never Summer, or Atomic…it has a fair chance with me. 

In the last year I have made nothing off this site. I chose not to advertise (quite honestly, google ads look like shit) and I figured to gain respect I would need to earn it…without making money from it until I have respect. I have received some perks along the way, free stuff to try out or wear for the season which I’m always honest about what is given to me. And while I have made nothing in terms of monetary value, I have gained so much and invested so much of me in this site…which is amazing, an accomplishment to write about snowboarding year round, often daily.
A big thanks to my readers…Thanks to you for helping me along this journey and keeping me writing, keeping me inspired to write about being an average rider. Over the past year I’ve helped pick out gear numerous times for people, answering questions about upcoming products as best as I could and I try my best to reply to every question that comes my way.
