If you're not from California it's hard to explain how awesome it is to ride a bike and train here especially at this time of year. For me this is my favorite time of year to train in California. Cool temperatures and no rain makes for some of the best training weather anywhere in the United States. We'll this year has been quite different with an unusual amount of rain keeping me...
Hey folks, I’m über excited with the result on my 1st race in Germany: a well fought 2nd place! There was also luck involved, as it’s many times the case in Snowboard Cross —ANYTHING can happen on the race course. And so it did: the Chinese I was chasing took a turn too sharp and went down in front of me, so I was able to pass him with a few feet to the finish line! With that I was able to...
Hi everyone! Today will be an intro lesson to the rules of fencing and why it's so much fun :).So the sport of fencing was originally created to practice sword fighting in a safe way to allow you to get good for when you had to duel for real :). Because of this it has things in common with old fashioned dueling, traditional sports rules, and some uniquely fencing things. There are 3 weapons, each with slightly different rules and...
Gidday folks, I am so excited to announce my upcoming travels for training and racing. After conversations w my Brazilian snow federation and coach, we set a plan and we are sticking to it —full force! This year I’ll be missing the Finland race, because of work. That’s a very important one because of excellent training camps before & after, on the race course. I will at least get to do the camp after the race, and hopefully see some auroras, fingers crossed! After...
Hello everyone! I am Greg Tyler and I am new to the PossAbilities Paralympic Training Program. I started my career in Triathlon in 2010 after a motorcycle wreck crushed my left side, causing me to lose my left arm at the shoulder and paralyzing my left leg. I broke 15 bones, punctured and collapsed both lungs, severed 2 arteries, and died twice. Initially I started just doing whatever I could for rehab, the only thing that wasn't damaged was my...
It's January and this 2024 season is getting started a little sooner than most years. For the first time since I've been racing at world cups the race was held in hot and sunny Adelaide Australia in the peak of the summer. Usually world cups don't start until April so having one this early was out of the normal race calender. One thing that made this a tough trip from the...
Hi friends, I’m here training in the Netherlands at this state of the art compound with an indoor ski facility where they built a beautiful banked slalom course. It’s pretty awesome, you’re wearing shorts one minute, next you suit up and get inside this “freezer box.” Super grateful to be here, it’s my 3rd time, and I was thinking I’ve come a long way in snowboarding. I never needed to prove anything to anyone, but since I had my accident, I’ve been...
The 2023 paracycling world championships was held in Glasgow Scotland and I was excited to be able to compete in my second world championships wearing my countries colors. My first time competing for Team USA was 2021 in Portugal. Unlike my first time in Portugal I am was in much better shape and a different classification. Upon arriving in Scotland I noticed the weather was actually better than I imagined it...
It's the day before Halloween here in AZ where it is in the 80's still for day high's and the 50's for low's. The weather is perfect! It is time to get back outside on the racing bike. I have been strength training and riding my ebike outside since the last week of August. I'll ride an hour to hour and a half with occasional intervals. Getting out on my ebike is nice and a change. Teaching has been keeping...
This blog is a little late but time flies when you ride full time and work 2 jobs. Life can get away from us sometimes. Well, this year has been quite the experience and I'm eager to see what else is in store. This seems to be a recurring thing now that I'm going to the world cup in Oostende Belgium and doing well. Last year, I had one of my first ever world...
