Meathead East Coast Skiing Adventure Movies & Films

As told by: Andy Parry

Hello again! Just got back from our second New Hampshire urban trip, and with more meatheads along for the ride even more radical tricks got thrown down. This trip we headed out with the talent: Willy Wesson and Rossario Imburgia, along with the fantastic photographic skills of C. Nelson James. We all headed out of Burlington on Thursday after noon with two cars packed full with lights, generator, cameras, boots and too many pairs of skis. Our first stop was back to Manchester, NH to meet up with Richie Paradise and of course the ever illusive Joe Joe Ciprari.

With all of us pumped to ski, Richie lead us to a massive wall ride that he had set up days before. The jump and landing needed a little TLC and after an hour or so of work the session took off. By the end of the night Ross had laid down some insane tricks including ginormous corked spins off the wall, while Richie boosted higher then anyone with some stylie 180’s. With snow/ rain forecasted for the next morning we all went to bed unsure of what tomorrow would bring… turned out to be rain.

However the weather changed quickly and by the time we where outside of Boston it had cleared up and the sun was shining. The rain, sun and warm weather had killed almost all the snow in the city so we had to scrape together what we could and get ready to hit a long elbow kinking rail. After many hours Will was the only one to prevail, and as the sun started to set we all headed down into the heart of the city for some much needed nourishment. That night after a short trip to Salem NH and a down rail we booked it back to Manchester where we spent the night in a super sketchy motel with no hot water and a distinct smell of mold.

Still extremely sore from the past two days we headed to a bomb drop where we met up with Forrest Frizzle and Austin Holt. After some crazy tricks we moved on to a wooden down rail where Devin Flynn (Shea’s bro) showed us all up both 270s out and both switch ups.

After making short work of the wooden rail we drove to UNH to hit a 6 kink that we had been booted from a week before. After that we needed sleep badly and made our way to the Colburn’s house in Concord, NH where we enjoyed the amazing movie: Snakes on a Plane, and a homemade waffle breakfast courtesy of the ever-generous Mr. and Mrs. Colburn.

This weekends adventure came a close with some weird kinky rails at a private school near the Colburn’s and a famously red colored down flat down rail at a school in Manchester. A celebratory feast at Boston Market was just the thing to finish up the trip, plus we found out the Patriots won and are going to the Super Bowl!
