3,500,000 kids watch me snowboard a year

Snowboard jump in Whistler
Troy, my brother in law, made this picture of me a couple of years ago and I posted it on my blog. Soon after, it showed up on the first page for a Google image search for snowboarding, and almost #1 for snowboard jump. So two of the highest entry keywords for my blogs are these two keywords. Next, a few kids used the image to dress up their page on myspace. Then myspace became the social network of choice and now the picture of me taking a jump on my snowboard has spread all over myspace to the point where the picture gets accessed almost 10,000 times a day. That’s 3.5 Million times a year. Now THAT’S funny. And kinda flattering to. I wonder if these kids know it was a 34 year old who was holding his breath and hoping he wasn’t going to break every bone in his body. But I did land the jump. Some of these myspace pages are pretty funny. Here’s the top 50. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50
