The fun behind the job

It's a lot of work.. Countless hours organizing, shuffling, putting family life on the back burner... and then writing stories, reviews.. etc.. ooo wait in my case writing the story twice because my computer SUCKS! thanks to luke for helping me re-write it the second time... so make sure you watch next years TR- Arctic Cat Sno Pro.. and remember double the effort went into that!!!

but behind the scenes we have fun.. we joke, we ride hard and we all get along really well. I think the guys like the expression, "what happens on the road stays on the road..." well lucky for me i capture most of what happens with my camera.. and they are catching on that i've been doing lots of video this winter... i'm sure it will catch up to me but for now.. it's always fun sharing the "real" side of us.!




some of us manage to do something a little special now and then... I am still waiting on video footage of the next event , but for now a brief description..
my first trip with Vern.. aka- VMax.. aka- Mr. kung fu- or as Vern likes to say while sleeping in your face... KARRRR AAA TEEE CHOP! that's another story... but this time let's just leave it as I was doing a stand up for my destination story onGRAND Lake , Colorado.(beautiful place you HAVE TO GO!!!!) and in the background the boys were playing.. i was shooting stills for the blog.. and here comes vern.. I turn to the camera .. deliver my lines and then he dumps it.. rolls the sled.. tries to sidehill and failed.. OFF goes the sled.. down the hill.. going away.. faster , faster and faster it goes off on it's own... Vern is running after it...sprinting after it... thank goodness Brian Amundson was there and stopped it... needless to say it was pretty darn funny... and yes the video will make it up here soon.. but for now.. I do have the stills...



O ya if you click on the pictures Vern's REDEMPTION story also happens.. sigh! Maybe next year V!!!
