AGoodReed Goes Grenade: Half-Pipe Stuff
Friday, April 24 began as many days do for the agoodreed team–with lots of smelliness. We had the opportunity to live in the luxury suites offered by Monster, but we are of the people, and prefer to live like hamsters: amongst our own filth. Our closet–crammed full of dirty socks, condoms (all unused), candy wrappers, beer bottles and some sort of rodent that had found its way inside–smelled like the decaying corpse of an opossum that had eaten too many sardines. So we swiftly moved up towards the Blackcomb half-pipe, where the Grenade guys were doing some stuff for Grenade Games 5.
We were going to ride in the competition, but there were free burgers to be had, so we attended to that instead and watched other dudes get extreme.
This is how the half-pipe works. In-you-go, out-you-go. Dude with yellow coat gets X.
Louie Vito took time off from accumulating goofy sponsors to do some stuff for photo incentives.
This guy got upside down above a death-ice half-pipe, and we couldn’t even remember his name. Sorry man. It was cool. [UPDATE: This is likely Jeff Batchelor. Good work Jeff.]
Eero Niemela, or an alien wearing a mask.
Dustin Craven is number one in our hearts because he does sweet grabs and has an amazing sticker job.

Stay tuned for more coverage. Lucas Magoon is on-site. Today, he won a 10k used Rolex and it may or may not be for sale in the club tonight.
