Why are you psyched on your gear?
I’m psyched to ride everything for the product review videos. I’ll be stepping out of my comfort zone from responsive camber decks onto soft playful boards. The heightened levels of psychedness go beyond gear, I’m psyched to ride with the House’s Park Machines crew.

Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wished to say that I have truly enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write again soon!
Matt Guff,
You’re a poser. You are stoned on every review and mix up the product info for everything you explain. I just watched a couple vids of you riding to see if you have any cred at all and you clearly su**)k a bag of d1(ks. Go play tag football with your football bat you handbasket full of rainbows. You know nothing about snowboarding and should clearly be fired.

Hey Cap,
Thanks for doing a background check on me! Send the vid links my way because I can’t find anything anywhere.
I suppose you found out that I’ve been riding since the 92/93 season and that growing through Jr. High, High School, and onto College I was a Regional and National USASA competitor, did the AST (American Snowboard Tour), Van Triple Crowns, Burton Global Open Series (NZ & US), New Zealand South Island Championships, USSA Grand Prix’s, and a countless number of unsanctioned contest…let me know if I forgot any.
I bet you even dug deep enough to find that I stepped out of competing a decade ago and have been coaching the National Sports Centers C.O.D.P (Community Olympic Development Program), Windells, Windells Academy, USASA All American Team, USSA Project Gold Team & Jr. Worlds Team, and the US Deaf Olympic Snowboard Team…yeah it’s been great traveling to every continent beside Africa and Antarctica to snowboard. Again, let me know if I forgot any.
Captain, you’re right; I screw up product video reviews all the time, but do my best to correct the mistakes. Some vids are good some vids are bad.
Football was never my thing, I never tried out. Maybe that’s why I don’t know what a football bat is. Smoking bowls is overrated.
I know a little bit about snowboarding – of course not every bit of history, board specs, scenes, or crews, but what I do know, is that I do it because it’s fun. I like riding anything from corduroys to park laps. I snowboard because it’s all I’ve let into my life for the last 20 years, can’t stop. Of course I still have much to experience and much to learn about snowboarding too.
If you’re ever in Minnesota stop by some time – seriously. I’ll by you a ticket and we’ll make some laps at Hyland. I travel a lot too, so I’ll probably be close to where ever you are. Let me know and I’ll pack my gear up.
Cheers,
-Guf (only one F)
