SEALs

While I’ve got SEALs on my mind, here’s two good stories. One about a SEAL from Dave’s same team and platoon who sacrificed himself on a grenade and was awarded a posthumous Medal of Honor. There’s only been 4 of these awarded since 9/11, and two went to SEALs.

The other is this video from a few months back but an amazing story and definitely worth watching.

One of the best things about going to a Wings game in Philly is always the intro of the other team.

Craig Kelly movie

The innerweb has been doing its job this week, keeping me in touch with lots of people from the past.

This turn from the trailer is one of the things I mentioned for the Blower book that summed up snowboarding for me:

X Games

Speaking of BMX… I usually don’t get into watching X Games, but there was some next level shit in lots of the events this year. I forgot that I had bookmarked some of these clips and just found them. Morgan Wade was doing transfers in the park that looked straight out of a video game.
