Late June: Sandy Glacier: Mike Briggs, Meeks, Maximilliam Smith
“Last chair!”
This however, was not the case for Mike Briggs, Meeks and the Swedish connect Maximilliam Smith.
Before we get into this shitshow though, lets bring it back to a better time…
Early June: Hood Backcountry: Heffy, Meeks, Freed, camper Kev.
Briggles, Alec, Zach Giffin
“Who the fuck is that guy in the orange jumpsuit?”
“Briggles, you bring your dad along or what?!”
Zach Giffin trailed the skeptical crew of kids, both parties wondering what the hell they were getting into.
claimed Maxi (who is notorious for getting a bit too excited) but when the O.G.
A twenty minute traverse and hike led The Hood Crew to a sight that did not disappoint.
As is to be expected.
Good vibes began to spread as questions about who would guiniee pig the boater arose.
Of course it was the unlikely veteran who stepped to the challenge.
Zach has been building and hitting jumps around the Northwest for over a decade.
Despite endless accolades the young crew of jibbers still had no clue who this guy really was.
Zach washed out on his landing but there was no doubt that the session was under way.
Camper Kev is another soft spoken, hard charging Baker local.
After a 6 month recovery from a shattered femur he was slowly getting back into jumping.
Mr. Briggles, not wanting to be outdone, laced up a flawless nose butter 7 and switch 5.
Endless hammers were being had as the afternoon trickled on.
The long, exhausting hike out provided the homies with time for some reflection.
Watching a massive lighting storm roll in across the desert juxtaposed the bluebird afternoon.
Massive clouds rolled past, lit up from the evening sunlight.
Maxi could be heard shouting “this is AMERRRICA!
HEAVEN!!!!”
The weird was embraced, it was a mind state that I have only found achieved by taking mushrooms.
It is hard to even put into words the intensity of the vibes and elation.
