Help Out An Injured Rider
A fellow member of Snowboardingforum.com recently broke her neck at Waterville Valley in New Hampshire a few days before she was supposed to leave for an epic season in Japan. Being injured and not able to travel, snowboard, or even drive, Kara Castaldo is sure to have a lot of time on her hands.

Shred Betties... It's Official!
As many of my close friends and family know, I have a slight addiction to tattoos. I'm not one for showing the world what I have and where I have it, but today is a different story.
I visisted some friends over at Jammin Ink Tattoo and decided it might be a good time to finally get a tattoo I'd been thinking about for a while. We got to talking and my buddy Shane got to work. Some time later, I officially have the Shred Betties logo tattoo'd on my right forearm.
At this point, some may be thinking 'Really? What is this girl thinking!' or 'Awesome! She's totally dedicated!' To tell you the truth, this tattoo couldn't have come at a better time. With everything going on with Shred Betties and what has already happened, I can't help but feel like these are times I'll never be able to replace. Regardless of what happens in the future, the ladies I work with at Shred Betties have almost become a distant family. So this is for them, for myself, and the future.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't something I decided to do over night. As a word of caution and advice, NEVER get a tattoo without thinking about it for a long time. Regretting a tattoo is the worst thing that can happen and not worth the pain it takes to get one!
Albany Ski & Snowboard Expo: Part I

Winter Dew Tour Finals 2/6/10
Saturday my husband and I made our way back to Mt. Snow for the Winter Dew Tour half pipe finals. The drive was long but it was definitely worth it.
Video: Urban Snowboarding is Illegal??
Kelly over at ShredBetties.com put this video up on the site and it really got me irritated. Snowboarding in a public park is illegal apparently, and so it making jumps? And it's not ok to use public property to make a jump, but it's ok for members of authority to take private property away from someone?
Check out the video to see what I mean:
Good to go... or not?
So as stated in the first entry on this blog, I've been training for some 5k races in the spring. After 2 bouts of th colds and finally getting into a routine, it seems like my training has to come to a halt.
I've been completing the Couch to 5k program which is an 8 week training program designed to get someone from never running to running a 5k in that period of time. Sounds like a great plan, huh? The first 3 weeks were a breeze and I never felt better. I had it all planned out.. Train for some 5k's and get my lungs and legs back in shape for snowboarding. No one told me how terrible shin splints would be though!!
