Have You Ever Googled Yourself?

Hello all! I am really starting to get into this social media stuff as a way to promote yourself, your company or really what ever you want to say on the World Wide Web. So, I am in Buffalo at my parents house surfing the web when I thought about watching some of my older edits, it could be that I am that full of myself or maybe I just miss wakeboarding that much in these wintery times (probably a little bit of both) but nevertheless, I GOOGLED MYSELF! I love how the word Google can be used as a verb, what ever did we do B.G.? (Before Google). Sorry I am getting off track. Anyways, I was actually surprised, the first 7 pages actually related to me (give or take a few). Then I clicked on the videos link and there is 7 videos that relate to my name. The internet is truly amazing, but don't get me wrong I am not telling you all this to brag about my internet status. I am telling you this because social media is up right now so go out there and get yourself a blog upload photos and videos of your talents and get your name out there cause you never know what can happen. So for all of you that are interested here are all the videos online that Google thinks relate to me. Thank you to all the creators of these videos and all the music artists that created the songs that are on these edits.

BIG NEWS WITH SLINGSHOT!

From Slingshot:

Slingshot signs Oli Derome to the Global Wake Team!

Slingshot Sports, FIRST IN FLEX WORLDWIDE, is proud to announce we have signed Olivier Derome to a three year sponsorship agreement.  He will hold a position on the Global Wake Team in the 2011 – 2013 seasons.

Canadian National, and the newest member of Slingshot Wake, Oli is the FIRST Pro Canadian Rider to ride true FLEX.  “I’m very excited to be part of the Slingshot family!  The vision expressed by the team and the company pushes in the same direction as mine, making me feel right at home with one of the industry’s most progressive companies!  I’m looking forward to the upcoming season and all of the new things that will be part of it!”, Oli told us yesterday.

Already showing off his stellar wake riding talents on the 2011 Slingshot Recoil, Oli will without a doubt represent the brand well.  Our Wake Brand Manager, Wade Wagley, smiled as he talked about the awesome news.  “With a very impressive performance on the Pro Tour in 2010, and undoubtedly being one of the most stylish rail riders we’ve seen, Oli has had our attention for quite some time now.  His passion for wakeboarding on and off the water and extremely positive attitude is inspiring, and we proudly welcome him into the Slingshot family”.  Oh Canada!

Stay tuned.  There’s more excitement coming from Slingshot soon…

Tuesdays and Thursdays as Spirit Mountain

Tuesdays and Thursdays are my for sure shred days. I don't have class until 2pm so I like to get out there early. My roommate and I have the same class so we can go out together and tear up the fresh cords, touch some sky, grab some rail and just be out there man. The Spirit Mountain Park is looking very nice big ups to the park crew and groomers for their hard work. Check out the website at www.spiritmtn.com, or hit them up on facebook and let them know what a good job they are doing to make all you kiddies happy in the park.
