I am in the RV after the last day of FIBARK 2009, and how awesome it was! It was a pretty low flow on Tuesday, and everyday just like every year the water rose super fast. It got to nearly 3 grand on the weekend this weekend, just a bit lower than last year i was told. Every day it got harder for hole moves and more of a wave every day. My routine was: Re-entry, loop, both airwheels, back loop, both mcnastys, both tricky woos, both phonics monkeys, and lunar orbit. Than on friday i changed my routine to: Re-entry, loop, both airwheels, both mcnastys, back loop, back pan am, and then felix. I did that friday and saturday, but then on sunday it was the highest it was yet. And it was super difficult, i had to change my routine one more time: Re-entry, loop, both airwheels, both blunts, back pan am, felix, and then both mcnastys. That went well for me, i won C-1, OC-1, Junior mens, the Hooligan race with some friends, and i place second in the raft rodeo with jason craig. I won juniors mens with 630 points, C-1 with 765 points, and OC-1 with 140 points. We won the hooligan race with and inflatable raft. It worked really well for us. There was eight of us. The foamboat world championships was on saturday, my creekboat didn’t do too well on the creek race unfortunately, a kid i am not sure what his name was won that. but my playboat got third in the freestyle. JP griffith won that one. I think that wraps up my FIBARK week. Time to go home and get the new 2010 Star!!!!!! Thanks for reading,

The animus river days are over and it was awesome. Yesterday was awesome with the slalom race and the boat parade. You can read about yesterday in my last update. Today was the down river race and the freestyle. My dad did the down river race witch was first. He wound up placing third. I did not race, but i did a practice session in the hole in the morning. The freestyle was good, i got 1st in the juniors, and my dad got 1st in the mens. Nicole Mansfield was first in the womens. It was a blast. I haven’t been here in a long time, around 3 years, and i am glad we did. That wraps up my updates for this weekend, thanks for reading,
