Brett Tippie

I need to talk about Brett Tippie for a bit. On this past Sunday, Matt Brooks and I were up to our usual shred antics at the Sun Peaks Bike Park. As I came flying out of the trees on Arm pump and over the creek gap I noticed out of the corner of my eye, two people on Rocky Flatlines with alot of colorful ano RaceFace parts. I knew it was Tippie and his lady Sarah, so I stoped as fast as I could and it was on from there. The first thing Brett says to me was something along the lines of, " Dude! We need to take some photos for the RaceFace blog or Julian isnt going to give me any free shit next year!" Of course I was down, and from there on in the day was twice as rad. Brett embarked on his mission of "stealing Stirling Lorence's job" while we rode patches of the trails that got him stoked. After a while of getting sideways and pretending to dirtbike we figured he had a good blog post in the bag and got on with the bike shredding. After all the hard work Brett assured me he would pay my dues with the trimmings off the ends of his handlebars as a symbol of how hard I will have to work if I want a full one.
I can't really say I have met such a dude as Brett. I really wan't to be like him someday. He is always laughing, always smiling and always telling the corniest jokes you could Imagine. You can tell he really loves his life and is one of the happiest guys I have ever been around. I can't wait till he comes back to eat my other shoe!
