Whats with the avatar…

What’s the story behind your avatar? What is it, and why did you choose it?

Mine is me and my failed attempt at a snowangel in powder. It topped off a good two weekend trips in a row to Thredbo where I got proposed to and made my now fiancées sister try snowboarding!

It just took me a few minutes to evven make out your avatar! LOL if it wasn’t for the branding on your helmet I would have never known!

My avatar is my Spawn inspired painted helmet looking into the trees. The character Spawn struggled to find a way to free himself from Hell’s control and recapture his humanity. I always identified with the pursuit, even more so that now that I live over 10,000 miles from home.

I need to change mine. I was just testing the avatar feature and found a cool photo of DCP launching off a backcountry booter. I liked the colours, so I photoshopped it and voila.

Mine is a self portrait.  I had just bought a new flash so was playing with lighting effects.  Everyone says its not a true photo of me because I am not a bad ass angry kind a guy.

My avatar is of mine and Jeremy’s little puppy border collie x kelpie named Chilli.

This photo shows him perfectly because he is always eating and destroying things, especially cardboard and tissues.

Chilli is now 7.5 months and still terrorising everything. He stole some of my expensive Lindor chocolates for Easter and left the cheap ones for me to eat.

Jeremy and I both still love him to death despite his crazy personality.

If you look at his eyes it’s looks like a little kid saying “what, I’m not doing anything” and giving that puppy dog look that makes everyone melt.

Very very cute! We have a 9yr old Kelpie who still manages to give us puppy dog eyes!

I’ve always liked pics of trails or roads that seem to go on endlessly. this is a picture of train tracks that I crossed when hiking on the Appalachian trail not too far from home. I’ve never hiked the whole trail, but I’ve spent many days on it.
I think it represents adventure, future and progress and it makes me want to ditch everything and follow along it’s path.
It’s like it is telling me “I’m going somewhere, where are you going?”
