5/1/09 “09 Season Wrap Up and Summer Training”
For the 2009 Nationals both Colton and I recived invites from the USASA for Giant Slalon, Slamom and Boardercross, but decided to declined for several reasons. The first of which was that our whole family was itching for a warm vacation so the Flordia Keys was the solution. Great fishing, kite boarding and even had the 5000 pound (breaking strenght) rope snap on
On Memorial day weekend we are planning on making another trek to Tuckermans Ravine on Mt
A BIG Thanks to out Sponsors and Hook Up's. Your support is much appreciated!

6/1/08 “08 Season Wrap Up”
Another great season is now behind us and sadly the snow is gone foe now. Time to put away the snowboards (not Really) and start the summer training. This summer will be busy with lots of skateboarding, wakeboarding, football camp and some surfing mixed in there. In August,
The month of February was an exciting month for
As of now the both of us will be heading to Nationals and looking to make SG Snowboards proud. Both
For the 08 season, Colton and I are both ranked #1 in the Mass. Series for GS and will be part of the USASA Massachusetts Series 2008 Giant Slalom National Team (I am also the alternate in Mass. Series for the 2008 Slalom National Team).
At the time of this update our USASA National Ranks for age groups and disciplines are as follows:
GS – 6 rd GS – 12 th
SL – 8 rd SL – 18 th
Our status for slalom is still yet unknown, but things look good based on our national ranks. Typically if you are ranked nationally in the top 50 you should receive an invite, so we will just sit tight for now and ride fast. Boardercross, slope style and half pipe are still yet to be determined.
The past several weeks went fast but we now have 6 alpine events under our belts; three GS and three SL events. To sum the races up; results are as follows:
GS - 2 Gold, 1 Silver GS - 3 Silver
SL - 1 Gold, 2 Silver SL - 3 Bronze
Big Thanks to SG Snowboards for making the fastest decks on the planet!
Last week was the grand opening of “1 Plank Park”. This is our backyard snowboard park, complete with a 10’ tall launch tower, 4’ high launch ramp with tabletop and down ramp, 10’ long box and a 14’ rail. Not to bad for some after school play and night time jam sessions with the friends. Our parks’ slogn is “where 2 planks are too much”. Just joking. We have had one skier stop on over for some fun. Check out the pics!
Big thanks to our friend and master box and rail builder Jay Ray. This guy has a local reputation for building some of the coolest custom park features for many of the local mountains.
Need some bomb proof custom built features for your private park? Let us know and we can custom design and build it for you.

A big Congrats goes out to
Up dates will be monthly so keep checking out GRAYboarding.com for all latest news, results, pics and videos. Buckle up; it’s going to be a fast ride!
Its a wrap! The fat lady has unfoutunatly sung and the snow is now gone for the season.
Over the summer both boys will be training hard to be ready for the first snow of next season. Thanks again to all our 2007 Sponsors for making the season possible.
A “Big Thanks” to Chris Klug and his gang of world class snowboarding coaches for making the Aspen Klug Camp 2007 was great success! Tyler and Colton had a blast boarding, learning and hanging with all the coaches and exponentially advanced their alpine and freestyle skills as a result. If you are looking for a training camp, it does not get any better than this!
Tyler and Colton both had a great time and tweaked their alpine skills on day 1 and 3 of camp with Chris Klug, Justin Reiter and Erica Mueller. If you want to race, this is the team to teach you. I can honestly say that both boys started the camp riding fast and left riding a hell of allot faster. The coaching benefits were very noticeable in both boys with a refined riding form, increased speed and a more pure carving ability.
On day 2 of camp, the boys choose freestyle training with Tricia Byrnes, Alex Diebold, Jamie Clup and Jesse Wright. These coaches are some awesome freeriders who dominate the pipe, BX and the park. They each worked with the boys and brought them to a new level of freestyle riding and trick amplitude that I have not yet seen in them. Great job guys! (and gal)!
At
Next season, the Aspen Klug camp will be the weekend prior to the 2008 USASA National Championships at Copper Mountain, so it looks like the boys will be heading back to Chris’s camp and then hopefully have an opportunity to carry those skills learned over to Copper Mountain for the Nationals Championships.
It’s a wrap; the 2007 USASA season is history and now it was time for some big decisions to be made. Both boys were stoked after receiving invitations to the 2007 USASA National Championships for Giant Slalom and Slalom, but the late invitations coupled with the high costs of late minute travel forced us to re-look at the pro and cons of attending Nationals.
Then the opportunity arose to attend the
