Welcome to my Yard!

Bryon here...this is my first Yardbarker post so here's a little about myself for those not familiar with ski racing. I race the speed events, Downhill and Super G, which are really fast—upwards of 80-90 mph—with big air (check out this video from our training camp last month in Portillo, Chile to get a sense of the air and speed we get). I have been on the U.S. team for seven years and raced on the World Cup Tour for four. Most of our races are in Europe so I spend most of my winters overseas, which is cool because that's where most of our fans are. We're trying to change that here, though.



My life basically consists of skiing and playing music as much as possible...not a bad gig. I just moved to LA, which will be good for music, but I'm a mountain man at heart. I grew up in Park City, Utah skiing with my friends and started racing when I was 10. I finally had the time to record my first album "Road Sodas" last year-- check it out at http://www.bryonfriedmanmusic.com or http://www.myspace.com/bryonfriedman.

I'm excited to bring the sport and lifestyle of ski racing — intertwined with some music — to your doorstep. I'll post our best race (and crash) videos, pictures of life on the road, and get you acquainted with some of fastest, and most hilarious, skiers in the world.

If you have any questions I'll be more than happy to answer...for now, check out my yard.

Bryon
