Flogging Molly

I went to a Flogging Molly concert last Saturday night to start of St. Patrick's day celebrations. Flogging Molly is a Irish punk band. The concert was really good although the two open acts were really bad. We then followed up the concert with Corned Beef and Cabbage some friends cooked for us on Thursday night.

Gravity Games

The Gravity Games where held at Copper this weekend. All though we were not able to check out all of the events we did see some pretty cool stuff. We watched the women's snowboard superpipe and the men's ski superpipe. They were both amazing. These guys were 20 feet up from the lip of the pipe doing 540s and 900s with ease. One guy from Copper did a 1260 but didn't combo it with any other spinning maneuvers so he was not a contender for a medal. They also had a bunch of ski company's there showing off there gear and I was able to demo a pair of 4FRNT skis, the MSP 180s. They were really short and fat but held up a lot nicer than I thought they would on the hardpack. I'm hoping this event returns to Copper soon so that I can see more of the action.
