The March Doldrums

We’re only 2 days into March, but it’s already been 9 days since I was last on the old shrad stick.  I’m already thinking about getting in a few last minute slush slashes and then getting en la bicicleta. Fuck blud, we ain’t ready to call it spring yet, are we? Yep, and here is the big plan as of right now. There is a good chance I’ll change this shit up, but this is what I’m thinking:

I’m going to build my own bike. I’ve never done this before  and I really have no understanding of how things like “tools” work, but I want to to give this a go. It won’t be anything too rigorous. A hardtail and I’m thinking 4-5 inches of travel up front.  Of course if I can find a slick deal on a built bike that will serve my needs I’ll probably go with that. I’ll try to blog the whole thing as well.

And since it’s nearly spring time I’m going to tip you off on the heated shit for the sunny time.

First off, I can’t wear tees on account of my moobs, but if I could I would be all over this limited shit from the guys at The Hundreds and MODA3:

See how it looks like it’s all chalked up? That’s cool.

Maybe you’re looking for something a little bit more traditional in your wardrobe?  Might I suggest hitting up these dudes at Warby Parker. They would be 100% legitter if they hadn’t crapped up their name from some Jack Kerouac bit. But I guess they know Shira, so it can’t be all bad. Buy one of these beasts:

Also note the measurement on this rig is 3.7 furlongs. All those dudes in waistcoats just found their trousers fitting a bit tighter.

As someone with two wrecked eyes, Imma be holding out for the Pince Nez.

BUT before we get to all of this, remember that springtime is the second best time to be shradding. Landings get soft, you don’t need to wear the puffy coats, and you can finally suck it up and start blasting those gaps to boards slides you’ve been thinking about.

I also suggest you take a look at Linn Haug, and stop asking whatever became of Anne-Flore Marxer.

    It’s been Spring here since early December…my MTB’s getting broke down this week, finsta flip the frame and cop a new one. I’ve already scared myself skateboarding, so I may be done with that one forever again, but it’s deffo time for bikes.

    as for snowboarding: I only ride powder.

  2. what do you mean with what become of Anne-Flore Marxer??

    Well she kind of disappeared fro us state-side riders. But I saw the blog, so she’s still alive and such.

  4. hey this is me you are talking about..
    it’s just a really weird and random comments.. as if I had died or something..
    you probably missed my Transworld pro spotlight this year :)
    anyways the problem is that I don’t compete, i ride backcountry and shoot all year around, but being european girl shredder does not help getting a US major film crew.. the whole industry really is not helping the female riders at all.. so even if I shoot all year around and great pics I still don’t have a film crew.. if you have any tips let me know cause I really don’t see how I could change that..
