SNOWBOARDING.
It's the freedom of expression. Everyone has a different stance, a different style, a different technique, a different line, a different run, a different experience. When you see a crew run a set in sequence and although all may look similar, there are unique variances in each person's steeze that makes each individual person a star in their own right. Freeride. Freestyle. Back country. Street. Park. Pipe. The boundaries are constantly being pushed and broken. We are all the same. Snowboarders. But were are all unique. We ride rocker or cambered decks. We ride powder boards or short jib sticks. We wear flashy baggy kits or tight emo pants. The opportunity for individualism and self expression is limited only by the imagination of the individual.

CHS (Calgary Humane Society) Dog Jog 2010

Today I was fortunate enough to help/volunteer at the CHS Dog Jog. Ok dog lovers this events was so much fun, and if you have never done this before I would highly suggest it for next year.... so mark your calendars!
How would I describe it?! well I would combine the high energy and excitement of a 5km dash/marathon and doggie entertainment galore.
You get to run or walk with you dog with the rest of the pack for 2 or 5km, then go from tent to tent and can treat yourself to a massage, your dog to a massage, doggie grooming and pedicure, test different toys before you purchase any, dog caricatures, city of calgary give aways, free stuff from Jack fm and energy 101, practice jumping and guiding your dog through tunnels . . .  shall I continue? cause there is more. Live entertainment, food, contests for the kids.... there was so much going on and it was such a great time.
Here is a little look at what went down, Flickr pics to be posted soon.

I am sure you can just imagine the surprised looks on all the business peoples faces as they walk down Stephen ave only to see 1) snow!?!?! and 2) a park setup (ramp + 20ft flat box)?!?!!?, let alone skiers and snowboarders jumping onto the box and sliding in some manner to the end. ha ha ha the crowds were definitely stopping to check out the action.
