Solid Twins

Have
you ever taken someone to the beach who had never been before?
It's kinda cool to check out how someone reacts to a new environment..
I took Matt and Aaron Alves up to the glacier. They looked
at it for a minute, kicked the snow with their boots, and
finally started to hike up. It was kinda like those surf gurus
checkin' the sets before paddling out. These twins are definitely
city boys, and they didn't have to tag my truck before I figured
out their style ls downtown, fat laces, 4XL jackets, straight
brim hats, Ben Davis' and no gloves; That's what they wore
snowboarding. Aaron and Matt had some sick stuff going on
a rail slide we had set up. Aaron was doing b.s. l80 press-ons
and then slowly rotating out f.s., it looked really clean.
His brother Matt did some crazy looking b.s. railslide to
b.s. out. If you didn't know which way he rode, the trick
looked awkward. The longer the day got, the more tricks they
tried and the brothers seemed to push each other on. I got
a glimpse of the twins on the hill, and you can check them
out in Big Jean Fantasy and Vertigo. Their recent sponsorship
by Solid leaves only one thing left to say. These guys bust
some flat land flurry.
