Slamming and what not



This is what it looks like when a man takes a slam. He curls up into the fetal position and allows time to take its course. It's pretty much all one can do. But I'll tell you what a man does not do. Cry. Because then he wouldn't be a man if he cried... Ben's been killing it lately, and at the same time killing his body. If it wasn't for his wolverine-like rapid healing capabilities, he would have been out a long time ago. But no matter how hard he goes down, he's skating the next or a couple days later. It's pretty impressive and crazy all at the same time. He's been working really hard for his part in our up and coming video (2 weeks and some-odd days), so you should all be looking forward to it. I am. I haven't seen it yet. Because we haven't really started editing yet. The next couple weeks are going to be fun...

Speaking of people getting hurt, this guy got gored by a buffalo up in Yellowstone this last weekend in our campsite. I was in Yellowstone this last weekend, in case you are wondering how I know this information but failed to pick up the obvious hints I gave in the previous sentence. So the guy disregarded all of the warnings the park people give us and decided to play tag with a buffalo. He got within 10 to 15 feet, our sources told us, so the buffalo charged and got the guy right in the back. That would suck, those things are huge... Apparently he got taken out of there by a helicopter because the buffalo wasn't effing around and really did some damage. Then the buffalo decided to take up residency in our camp site and was literally feet from our tent when we went to sleep. We could hear it breathing through our tent. Like on Jurassic Park or a horror movie or something. Anyway, we made it out alright. I guess that's the end of the story. I saw a grizzly bear and old faithful was exactly on time.
