I have fond memories of shitting my pants after the plethora of seals in the line-up convinced me I was going to get eaten by a great white and never get to write that opus on action sports culture I\\u2019d always intended. Unfortunately, without a Mister T-sized beard a la Shea Flynn, I didn\\u2019t bring any sort of style to the greater Oregon coast. Luckily, Shea, who has more style than pretty much anyone has cared to notice, is rocking that beard on the glacier, scaring people, and cracking hearty jokes in between stellar alley-oop 3 safeties and all sorts of lazy-like jibness. Look for kids to spend the next calendar year growing out their peach fuzz into a haggard mess of blonde moss before next year\\u2019s summer season at Hood.

That means we\\u2019re one step closer to opening day, when that first early-season storm convinces us all to tromp around in the snow-covered grass and get a lot of core shots.

Ideas included a Transient Occupancy Tax that would allow second-home owners to rent out their homes in June Lake, increasing bed space, and using the County Contingency Fund to better market June Lake as a wintertime destination, instead of just overflow capacity for Mammoth.

Those who remember the influence of one of freeskiing\\u2019s first centers of online content creation and Chavez\\u2019s obsessive inclusion of hard-core punk music in all his edits will be inclined to smile at this news.
