Stone Brewing which is near and dear to my heart, for 1 they brew amazing beer and 2. they’re VERY close to my hometown of Poway, they’re in Escondido, CA…
If you haven’t visited their brewery yet, DO because it’s awesome in so many ways!

More than a feeling at Winter X Games 14 in Aspen
February 3, 2010 – 9:15 am | 3 Comments | submitted by jarod

Winter X Games 14 in Aspen has come and gone and guess what…
I was there!!!

After my experience of working with X Games this past summer announcing Rally Car Racing I was contacted to announce for all snowmobiling disciplines which includes Freestyle, Best Trick, SnoCross, SnoCross Adaptive and Knockout…

What an experience, from the professionalism to the friendships I made, just being at the entire Winter X Games was an experience I’ll never forget and hopefully it’s not my last
Thanks to everybody involved and to those that helped me get me where I am today and helping me build for the future… I’m more open, honest and sincere with all my friends, family and confidants that have helped me, THANK YOU!

Without further ado Winter X Games 14 with Jarod DeAnda…
Press play! I sung this song every day while in Aspen for some reason, so it’s the soundtrack for my Winter X Games experience…
