Insomniac's Profile - Skiing's Online Community

Skiing is an art form, and a love of mine. I've been skiing since the 4th grade, around age 9. I skibladed for like 2 years, and I've tried snowboarding a handful of times. I started freestyle around 4-5 years ago, and although I started slow, I'm speeding up my progression. I love to ride blazed with some tunes, and I love fuck around too. I've progressed from the original orange 1080's, to the red & yellow Scratch FS's with the soft top, to the Line 1260's (yellow ninja's) to my T-hall Pro's. They're about done now, and I don't know what to buy next. I feel as though the industry is moving too fast for me to keep up. I like it and I don't. I have no clue what the fuck is going on anymore.

Photography

I have a Minolta Maxxum 5, with a 28-90 lense and a 90-300 lense. I have various cokin filters, although I rarely use them. I always shoot ISO 800, unless I run out of course. I don't take as many flicks as I wish I did, and a lot of what I take is abstract.

Videography

Film can never be underestimated. The only thing I have in the summer is Ski Videos, so I leave it up to the professionals and I trust them to deliver the goods. MSP is too much backcountry for me; PBP and Level 1 have the jibbing that I desire.

Hobbies

Skiing, Bitches, Drugs, Music.

Music Interests

I listen to everything apart from country and certain whine-y white kids and pop. Other than that, I listen to Hip-Hop, Rap, Hardcore, Screamo, Emo, Alt., Indie, a little Jazz, some oldies here and there, and whatever else I can get my hands on. My iTunes library has 6800+ songs.

Video Interests

I don't watch much TV, I play a lot of video games and watch movies. There's usually some more important shit to do than watch Friday Night Standup or Oprah. I do like cartoons, and as a kid I stayed with Nickelodeon and the Rugrats.

Book Interests

I enjoy reading a lot. Out of everyone I know, I read the most. Michael Crichton & Chuck Pahluniuk are my two favorites. There's others too. When I'm home, I don't read as much as I should. Oh yeah, I started the Bible too.
