Sundays Ride

Rubber to dirt,
All day long
with the devils
I Flirt.

Bark Busters
do their Job,
Muscles
start to throb.

Grab that throttle
There are no bottles.

Snag a gear
on a straight
Cliff!
it could end your fate.

Roots rocks logs and creek
for sixteen solid weeks

Trees turn to a blur
every now and then
You'll Catch a glimpse of fur.

Lodge poles
turn to spears
they are
your worst fear

The sun going down
the day's nearing end
of with the safety crown
and I rest for next weekend

New Years

Drink Drink Drink
Take another shot
Puke-n-rally while you watch that clock
snowmobiles, drags, and jeeps
help you stay awake
trouble comes when you fall asleep
flashing lights, loud pops
grab another beer and crack that top!

Proof

Finally, my moment of truth
I had been in training
from one month to twelve
my dad, my grandpa
teaching me the truth
survival, strength, skill
skills that few ever learn
my heart starts pumping
my face flushed
my stomach turning
I inhale the cool
morning pine air
the shy animal
freezes not knowing
she gazes at me
as I do her
I listen to grandpa
in my clowded head
as he slowly says
"squeeze the trigger"
I let out my breath
and as natural
as the deer herself
BANG!
yells and screams of joy
pour from my father and grandpa
my muscles relax
I had passed the final test
the test of strength, skill, survival
the one test that proves I can survive to,
provide for, and protect the ones I love
the most important lesson of life was over
but the test never ends.

My Colors

Most of the time I'm red
Racing through Fires

My Heart Pumping

Adrenaline Rushing

Head Throbbing

Shooting or Sliding

I Grab another Gear

But, sometimes I'm white

Relaxing through a turn in the Soft Powder

Listening to the Crystals Splash on top of one another

Letting my board Feel its way Down
