It's getting to be the middle of March and the frustration is paramount, as the forecast provides little hope. It's been a long time since I've ridden outside comfortably, but the sessions still go down.

Remember the letter that Jared printed in Ride? Kurt Von Stetten proving that the Underground still sees its share of riders.		Josh Romian, 180 to reverse feeble grind at Over the Boarder skatepark, Southbridge.		Braving the cold, Blake Charlton wallrides the Prudential Green Line T in Boston.

In fact, right before the latest storm I did a manual on a long, weird platform up the street from my work in Brighton. That one trick made me so happy, and I was sweating, and my hands weren't even numb. So, what's that mean? I guess that I ride all winter because I love it.

Even today, I'm assed-out, but I almost went to Underground Snowboards with my brother to try to ride their slippery little park. I probably should have too, because it would have taken my mind off my misery, but I might have fainted. Instead, I'll watch the footage that he brings home and stew in self-pity. Oh well.   next »
