Attitude is Altitude
I’ve seen a couple videos in the past with Nick Vujicic. He is a remarkable story and now promoting a new DVD – No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!
Be thankful – dream big – never give up.
This is today’s inspiration.

Level 1 — Warren Miller “Refresh” Intro Segment Finally Legally Released
Level 1 Refresh Intro Segment from Level 1 on Vimeo.
The intro segment for Level 1’s 2009 release, Refresh!
About Refresh:
10 years deep and still not satisfied –
Never before has the sport of skiing changed and progressed so much, so quickly, as it has over the past decade. With changes in equipment, accessibility of terrain, and most importantly the mindset of some of the world’s best athletes, skiing today is not what it once was… An integral part of these recent changes, Level 1 looks back and challenges perspectives of where the sport has come from, and where it’s going in their tenth-anniversary offering, “Refresh.” Keeping true to their humble roots while exploring every arena that skiing has to offer the Level 1 crew serves up the most diverse ski entertainment to date. New things will never get old- fresh images of big jumps, deep powder, technical urban exploits, steep lines, and memorable terrain park action with a collection of the sport’s best and brightest talent.

Ted Archuleta – Courage Classic
Here’s the wrap up of the ride….
After 21 years, this ride is a well oiled machine. Great support, great people, great scenery.
I checked in on Friday with plenty of time to relax, listen to some music and drink a couple “soda pops”…hey, I had to carb up. ;)
Day 1: Saturday the ride started in Loveland, but since Eli and I carpooled and he needed it to get to Loveland on Monday, I didn’t really have a ride to the starting line…so I rode my bike. It was 30 degrees at the top of Freemont pass and the fog was so thick I could only see about a bike length in front of me. I made it to Loveland and basically turned around and rode back up over Tennessee pass, Battle Mountain and Vail Pass (King of the Mountain). This ride is commonly known as the “Copper Triangle”…a GREAT way to start a 3 day ride.
Day 2: I knew it was gonna rain around 2pm so I got out there early for the Century option. 100 miles that takes you from Copper to Silverthorne, North on Hwy 9 to Ute Pass (pass line picture, myself and 3 other strong riders average about 27 mph to Ute Pass. It’s awesome when you ride past a car radar and it flashes SLOW DOWN), then back South on Hwy 9 through Silverthorne to Keystone, up over Swan Mountain into Frisco. Frisco to Breckenridge (for lunch, my “power lunch” consisted of ½ a can of Coke and a cherry pie Lara bar), then Breckenridge back to Copper. I demo’d about ~$5000 bike (Full Carbon Specialized) from Wheat Ridge Cycling and CRUSHED the ride. I spent 5:25 in the saddle and only got caught in the rain for the last 5 miles.
Day 3 came early, and another ride up Freemont pass, this time with some wonderful company. Finished up with a short ride around Turquoise Lake (I highly recommend, it’s straight out of an MC Escher book, the road seems to continually go up). At the finish line I received a gold medal from a Children’s Hospital patient in a wheel chair.
Over the 3 days, I rode 230 miles, climbed over 15,000 feet of elevation, spent ~14 hours in the saddle, and raised $334 dollars ☺
Here are a few pictures from the weekend.
Cheers,
Ted
Where The Hell Is Matt?
We’ve all seen Matt’s original 2005 Dancing Video. Now catchup with Matt if you haven’t in a while and watch this video…
Talking about how he made this video…
But don’t forget that this is all a gigantic hoax.
Where the hell is Matt now?
Progression in Sport – Skiing
Congratulations Sammy C for landing the first ever switch triple rodeo 1260. Balls.
Who is Drummer Rick K?
My cousin sent me this video which is entertaining and comical to watch Rick K play the drums in the background. But why not check out a song that takes some real drumming talent.
Who is this group The Allnighters and where do they play? Imagine if Will Ferrel played drums – sounds like a movie to me.

Turn out, tune on, and drop in.
Skiing’s counterculture continues to buck the trends of what’s come before them- this is a worldwide documentation of ski action as you’ve never seen it presented before.
Follow the Level 1 crew as they experiment with one of the largest gap jumps ever built in Sun Valley, Idaho, hit a record snowfall in Helsinki, Finland, and harvest the vast resources of Alaska… or perhaps it’s all just a lucid dream?
Wake up, because Level 1 will take you on the visual trip of a lifetime. Come along for the ride!

Genius.
BHTM 2008 to 2010 Recap
I somehow popped backstage last night at BHTM 2010 Live at Red Rocks without ever having a ticket. It was a good show – with sun, rain, a torrential downpour and meeting new friends — but nothing compares to the 06/07/08 four hour live recording dvd show.
From me to you… enjoy the adventure.
Rock on.
From last night:
Aerosmith – back on the road
July 23-Sept. 4
Tickets TBA
Openers Sammy Hagar and the Wabos, J. Geils Band
Aerosmith’s summer ’09 tour was one of the most ill-fated in the band’s colorful career: the band was struck by severe injuries and nearly lost Steven Tyler. But the mended Rock and Roll Hall of Famers are taking their explosive show back on the road again this summer, including a sold-out homecoming show at Fenway with J. Geils Band.
My only question is – how in the hell does Steven Tyler keep moving?
He’s popping 62 years, has overcome both a heroin addiction from the 80s and a pain killer addiction from 2009 — he is older then both of my parents and yet somehow still keeps the show alive. What in the hell are they putting in his water?
This will be his 26th concert tour – Unbelievable.
Video of the Day – Freediving
Genius and scary. I don’t even know what it’s for or if this is completely real, but I intend to find out.
1. Dean’s Blue Hole – this is no joke.
2. Guillaume Nery is no joke either – but considering the deepest any freediver has ever gone in the blue hole is 120 metres (394 ft) – just last month – I do not believe Guillaume actually made it to the bottom. Still, this is ridiculously insane and opens up an entire new world to a sport I knew existed, but had no idea s to what capacity it was being taken.
Excellent work goes out to Bluenery Productions with a quick 1 month turn around on this project.
