So, when we got the airport in Denver we were joined by Todd Richards, Shaun and Jesse White, and the Dingo. Sean Black was feeling under the weather and had loaded up on Nyquil. He was sleeping pretty soundly until I asked Shaun White to autograph him. The Dingo is trying to plop some water into his ear.

The layover was rad. We got to hear Todd giving Shaun the heads' up on what its like to be in the Olympics. We spent a couple hours just chilling and joking around with these guys. Very cool for Sean and Alice to hang with a couple of the biggest pros in the game - ever.

We are in New Jersey now. The kids did ok in the Paul Mitchell Expression Session slopestyle comp. Actually they all got schooled, but that is part of the game. Alice ended up third out of three and rode at about 1/3 of her capabilities. She got $1000 just for showing up. Where are all the ladies?

Tonight is the final event of the Grand Prix and they will announce the U.S. Olympic team tonight following pipe. Kass and Dillon followed White last night. White has won the first four events and has assured himself a spot on the team. Pretty cool to be rockin' in Dirty Jersey.
