Been published lots of times, but I’ve never been the subject of a photo or story… until the December issue of Rock and Ice came out. I was featured in the Parting Shot on the last page. In huge orange capitals, the cover screams “THE WILDEST WHIPPER YOU’VE EVER SEEN” and it points to a series of ridiculous photos that Andy Mann snapped of me in mid 2008 in Penitente Canyon, which is in Colorado’s San Luis Valley. This is embarrassing but cool. Embarrassing that I took this kind of fall in the first place, but cool that I didn’t crack open my head and die. Mom, dad: don’t look. I still can’t believe this fall – if it weren’t so painful it’d be comical. Well, it still is comical, but anyway. I still remember it in super slow motion. I remember every single nonosecond of it all, as well as my entire thought process.
