powderstick in the Halfpipe

on saturday i was looking for a short powder run at the summit of a local mountain. Through various networks I heard of some powderstashes up high at a neighboring mountain, On the hike up I ventured by the pipe that had been melted almost clear away (except the bottom third)..I was in a rush to hike to the summit so I didn't want to stop, but the urge to drop in real fast got the best of me. So i grabbed my big old powderstick with no metal edges and rode down the center as a test run....it went fine.... so i ran back up the wall and quickly dropped in over the edge, with the sloppy conditions, (sun cups, ruts and dirt mix) the no edges on my board and a few snowboarders watching, I figured i was gonna wipe dropping in...but the wide nose did fine over the crude and was able to bank a surf turn off the top of the other side... i was loving it. as i funnelled out of the pipe there was a slight drop off into a small mound of snow, which made for a nice little hit..great time....single decks are fun and have potential...however I wasted so much time there I never got to real summit which is about a forty minute hike off the resort summit, to see if there was any real snow...kind of a bummer, but not really...
hope everyone's spring conditions hold up until the fall!!!!!!

nice look at the stealthy single, as I eat it


*these are video stills from my point and skate in front system (rolling eyes) after watching the video a few times, the color and quality is so poor, I probably won't post it as previously mentioned...
