Default Pond Skimming

Going up to Taos Ski Valley today to watch some funny shitt! Pond Skimming!!

Basically they do this every year and you have to dress up in a costume, then go for it. You get graded on costume, making it across, and if you can throw a trick at the end.

Here's a clip from 2009:

Guess you gotta take the bad w/the good... I actually lived in SoCal for a while... moved away due to the people... too damn many of them

I actually like the winters... love snow skiing and snow boarding... great family fun. This is the time of year that I think is worthless (around here at least)... too much wind, dust, pollen, and not warm enough for boating yet

I actually grew up in England, London to be more specific. The winters were horrible there! lol... Water pipes in the house use to burst every winter & 1 winter in particular it was so cold that on my way to school i found a cat frozen in its tracks in the neighbors garden! lol.

I use to like snow boarding & snow in general but after i broke my ankle (27 places) in a bike accident ive stayed away from the white stuff.
