Our dear friend, Timothy Riley was lost in a tragic snowmobile accident two years ago, December 5th 2008. He is never to be forgotten.
My Favorite Photo of Tim
Backcountry gate Snowmass
This abandon bridge was about a five-minute drive from our high school and on lunch breaks we would often go jump off of it. On this particular hot and calm day Tim heads to the very top for one more jump, 50 plus feet. Just our luck, a police officer rolls up and gets out and starts yelling DON’T JUMP. Tim calmly looks at the officer, sucks his index finger and causally puts his hand in the air and tests the wind. With no hesitation Tim throws and huge cork 5 and floats down river. I was viewing this from the other side of the river. The officer was flustered, he had no idea what to do. On the way back to school I pull over and Tim emerges from the tamarisk, hops in, and sure enough we make it back right as the first bell rings.

Tim was always so stoked to ski
Tim's First Jib ramp, he called it a PJM (Portable Jib Machine)
Tim and I loaded the ramp into the green machine (his pickup) and headed off on an urban mission. We were pumped, not to often does Grand Junction get enough snow to hit urbans. Wile driving we hear a noise, like one could imagine, a heavy 10ft tall ski ramp being lifted from the bed of a truck and forcefully exploding on the pavement. oops lesson learned
Tim dropping into the x-games course on this icy flat light day. No one else had the balls to fallow.
