Riley Poor – Transitions

On December 4th I was lucky enough to attend a special premiere of Riley Poor’s latest creation … Transitions down at Craig Hospital.

I was truly blown away by this film not only because it goes back to the era of skiing I thrived and grew up in … which brings amazing memories. But also because it is such a beautiful documentary about one of the greatest pipe throbs of all time, Simon Dumont.

Now – I just can’t wait for Riley’s next project and to possibly get deeper into the real meaning behind Transitions. After all, out of everyone I know (minus my dad) there isn’t anyone who has taken a larger transition in their lives in this past year other then Riley Poor. I still wear his sticker on the back of my phone and think daily about what a true inspiration he is has become … from day one.

RIP – Barrel Man

December 24th, 2005 - Barrel Man + Hydle

His name was Tim McKernan. He took a $10 bet from his brother in 1977 that he wouldn’t wear a barrel to Denver Broncos football game. 30 years and 22 different barrels later, Tim finally retired from his superfan role as “The Barrel Man” in 2007.

Friday, at the age of 69, Tim McKernan lost his battle with an inoperable respiratory disease.

Dear barrel man – I salute you.
