What’s real to me may not be are cool, but they’re missing the point. all that “real” to Snoop Dogg, and vice versa. And helmet cams… helmet cams, helmet cams strapped to everything just means that it’s no longer enough to simply do something There is a huge difference real, we now must prove it, instantly, on our between doing something awesome smart phones. Adventure is becoming more “show and tell” rather than “do and enjoy.” “Because it’s there” and “Because Welcome to the geekification of fun.

As a result I’ve enjoyed a pretty interesting “career” and stacked up more amazing experiences than my 15-year-old self could ever have imagined. I’m grateful, but also aware that the meter on my luck card must be running pretty low. A little while ago, I may have drained it completely. I got “The Call.” It was night, I was in bed, and I had to work the next day. I was nodding off when the phone started buzzing. I ignored it at first, but my girlfriend, always prudent, convinced me that I should pick it up. The display read: “Ken Achenbach.” “Hey Ken, what’s up,” I mumbled. Ken, who is one of my oldest friends and well known for his elaborate missions and corny jokes, also owns Powder Mountain Cat and Heliboarding. He spoke portentously: “This is ‘The Call.’ What are you doing tomorrow?” There are rules to this life and the first is that one never says no to free catboarding or heliboarding. To do so immediately takes you off the list of names that could potentially get “The Call.” On the other hand, it was night, I hadn’t ridden yet this season, didn’t know where half my gear was and my out-of-commission truck would never get me out of the suburbs. “I’m in. When and where?” That’s how I found myself sitting in a helicopter with Ken’s wife Michelle, my old friends Kris Jamieson and Don Schwartz, and a well-known Norwegian snowboarder named Terje.

  • Pacific Vortex!
    Dirk Pitt 1 - Pacific Vortex Dirk Pitt 1 - Pacific Vortex Dirk Pitt 1 - Pacific Vortex Every ocean takes its toll of men and ships, yet none devours them with the voracious appetite of the Pacific. The mutiny on the Bounty took place in the Pacific, the mutineers burning the ship at Pitcairn Island. The Essex, the only known ship to be sunk by a whale (the basis of Melville's Moby Dick), lies under the Pacific's waves. So does the Hai Maru, blown to bits when an underwater volcano erupted beneath her hull. Despite all this, the world's largest ocean tends to be a tranquil place; even its name means peaceful and mild of temper. Perhaps that is why the grim thought of disaster couldn't have been further from Commander Felix Dupree's mind as he climbed onto the bridge of the nuclear submarine Starbuck, just before nightfall. He nodded to the officer on watch and leaned over the rail to gaze at the effortless ease in which the bow of his ship pushed aside the marching swells. Men usually respect the sea: they are even awed by its serenity. But Dupree was not like most men; he was never overcome by the spell. Twenty years at sea, fourteen of them spent in submarines, he was hungry — hungry for recognition. Dupree was captain of the world's newest and most revolutionary submarine, but it wasn't enough. He yearned for more. The Starbuck was built in San Francisco from the keel up, as no other sub had been built before; every component, every system in her pressure hull, was computer designed.
