Its all down hill from here

 i had a quick personal ceremony for sarah in the  pipe one year after her death
 i tried Cavour for breakfast
 pushing on the pipe
 and in the rain
 the mechanics thought they would help me out by cutting off some winch cable
 destroying the pipe before it even got ridden
 and a few of the security in the morning
 the pipe in the middle of destruction
 and i acquired a translator which helped alot, not to mention is attractive as hell
 one of the blower cats i used to rebuild the pipe
 cutting at sunset good thing i can only see the sky
 the rental zaugg i think it is only the 12th on the planet
 and thought i would feed to cutter  it looked hungry what a pain in the ass it was to get this thing out
 the pipe getting ready for competition
 the fog rolling in
 the zaugg cutter and 350 sherpa snow cat
 the ditch ready to go
 me claiming victory in the pipe
 an early morn sunrise with the fog
 cutting the ditch
 a few americans  i picked up and took up the mountain,  then one broke his leg,  some uber pro skiers
 The HAM venue  half pipe, ariels, moguls, pretty close together but the only events you can start to finish here
my russian wife
 then it snowed and i went riding.

It has been one hell of a month so far i have taken the good with the bad, the rain with the snow, the loneliness with the comfort, the easy with the hard, and the no food to the free buffet. I have pissed people off and mad some laugh, i have gone without sleep and slept for 15 hrs, i have given my all and sat back and watched, i have been denied vip access and got some one in to it, i have seen passion, discomfort, pain, and love.  i have wrecked a home and built a pipe, i have broken my machine and fixxed it my self, i have given away my last coke and drank the red bull,  i have given away my sponsorship glasses to my team, i have given socks to the needy, i have passed on the vodka and taken apple juice, i have free groomed, winched my 2nd run of my life, driven 8 cats in a week, and given my american change to a security guard,   given chocolate to my celebrity dream girl, and also to some no name volunteers, i have had my picture taken with some homies, and been put on the big screen to go across the world on tv. i have wondered where i am in this world and found my place for a week,

now on to the next competition which is in a few days,  if anything i have got from this month is i was told here in russia either you get used to it or give up.   HELL NO,  i choose option C  punch on ahead with the determination, focus and passion that i am on a mission from god to do this, and i think it is all down hill from here.

on to the next chapter of this crazy life, the next few pages will be interesting to say the least, no matter how it works out in the long run im stoked for the moment.
