derrick9696 Dude, Alaska is soooooooo beautiful man. You are lucky to live in such an epic place. When I was there I saw sooo many spots I wanted to shred....

Post a Pic of your winch, and some shots when you get out riding.

P.S. I remember a long time ago reading a wakeboard Mag and there was a letter/article about shreddin in Alaska tbut thats about all I've heard of it.

Just hit 'Post Reply' at the bottom of the page, scroll down and there is the option to 'add an attachment'. Click browse and find the image file on your hard drive. then clikc add attachment.

-OR-

Upload them to a site like photobucket.com and once the images is uploaded copy the line that starts with this--> [img]________[/img] and paste it in the message body.

And for finding people to recruit maybe try lookin around some of the snowskate forums on the net. I used to to snowskate alot and there was always a crapton of guys from Anchorage on the threads.
