It's the end of the year and we finally finished editing the new video. After missing the deadline by two weeks courtesy of my own procrastination, i finally got my shit together and started looking for a company to duplicate the video for us. After fuckin around for another two weeks with this shitty toronto company we finally gave up and decided to go with a local "company". I put company in quotations because, well, this wasnt a company. After a few phone conversations in which i was referred to as "dude", I decided to ignore all warning signs including this guy's completely open schedule and no references; and headed over to his "office". I pulled up to the guys house and no joke it was a bungalow with a one car garage and paint peeling off the fence. No sign for their company or nothing. After some careful deliberation I decided that handing over $630 to a guy working out of his basementwas probably not a good idea. And so here we sit once again. No duplication company, no movie, no candy. Complete circle my friends. The video will now most likely be sold like last year, home made but CHEAP and that's the important thing for most of you guys.
Oh yeah, Rob finished 6th of 15 in a non-FIS points halfpipe competition (first halfpipe comp for robby ever) and sars' own Mitch Crowshaw has finished the year placed 15th in FIS AB cup points!!!
In other news, mccrimmon decided to pack er in early and finish the season in early february due to a torn acl. This one way ticket to the ER was a result of casing a channel gap and landing on one knee. Apparently the popping sound was heard miles around and for a second i assume mike's knee would've been bent to resemble zack's girlfriend in the back of the altima on a steamy summer eve. BAD mind picture. After he was given the trophy for Best Finish of the Season, mike was asked what he would do with the rest of his life. He informed the interviewer that he's decided to pursue a career in ER Jockying rather than following the crowd and trying to become a pro snowboarder. He's getting quite good at ER jockeying with a rating of 1.16 IPS (injuries per season), i don't care who you are, thats a good GPA. Finishing a distant second for the Best FInish Trophy was Rob Hopkins, with an excellent collar bone break that happened on the second last day Sunshine was open. Yes that's right, one more week and he would've been in the clear, but that's no fun is it? It also had to happen on a 50-50 on a rail that he wasnt even trying on. Later Rob thanked jesus for not letting mitch and nick see, that would've been bad.

Sars crew is back from a team trip to the Fernie Heavy Metal Rail Jam. The crew consisted of Mitch, Rob, Jaros, Zack, and Mike. We drove up friday night and stayed at a semi-nice hotel. Went to Ian Matteson's rented pad for some "hanging out" which ended up with some drunk guy launching a Roman Candle INSIDE. The comp the next day was interesting at best, apparently we were riding against James Beach, Dwayne Wiebe, and all their friends. Those guys get paid to snowboard, so you can guess the results. Zack gets the medal for Prostar of the Weekend thanks to his 3+ incredibly painful looking bails, and he still managed to pick his ass up and gap to frontboard among other sick tricks. The trip home was pretty intersting. A certain unnamed member possibly of the sars crew might have come accross a glow in the dark cock rap, but that's another story. Watch the vid and buy our proddy.
