Well, thankfully i am on a full ride scholarship to play basketball at the University here in Fairbanks, so i am getting my education. The crappy part is i am limited to and often times not able to go out for weeks at a time. :banghead: Thats about to end this year though. I am a senior so its my last year of eligibility, which means next year i get to go crazy riding whenever i want, unless i go pro overseas. Well we just played our first game last night and won by 50. It was 110 to 60, it was an exhibition against a team from Canada but they were good sports. One more game against them tonight and we start our regular season. Anyway, i just had to vent after seeing all these guys riding and im stuck at practice every weekend. Here's a pic of me from last nights game.

Riding is always a blast but if you can make a living playing basketball then your crazy to give it up. I mean being a pro is like every kids dream......in other words, screw snowmobiling. Just my 2 cents, i had to give up playing college football due to an injury that i recieved riding a god damn sled my junior year in high school. on a regular basis i think about how stupid it was, i burned a pretty important bridge. every shmuck in alaska can ride a sled, it takes real talent and ability to do what you do.

Good luck with the game. Out here in the bush we travel by our sleds to other villages to play basketball, sometimes at 20 below. All for fun.
