At one point or another, many shreds have had to experience an injury that keeps them from off the snow. Sometimes it heals on its own, and sometimes it needs doctoral intervention. But living on the island of Mammoth Lakes, what’s a shred to do when sidelined?
What was the injury?
“Originally it was suppose to be mainly my meniscus and a little patella tendon problem. When they went in it was the opposite. My patella tendon was really inflamed and had a ton of little fingers hanging off all over it. My meniscus had barely anything really wrong with it all; just little fingers hanging off of it too. So they just cleaned everything up, cut off all the fingers and now my knee is good to go whenever it heals. I got really lucky with the whole surgery. Since I was working when it happened for the forest service everything was covered. Which is a plus since I don’t have health insurance.”
No health insurance: sounds like most of snowboarders in the USA. So what’s to do in Mammoth when snow is out of the question? Brent completed an EMT course and is training to be a volunteer fire fighter in Mammoth Lakes. Which means you could soon be thanking him for rescuing your cat the next time it’s stuck in a tree. And for putting out your house if it gets engulfed in flames. And for kick starting your heart should it decide to take a rest break. “I’ve also been known to open my garage door and just let my Harley idle for a way. I’ve just got it the way I want and wrapped the pipes so I gotta get the wrap to quit smoking before I actually take it out.” Let’s chalk up “incessant Harley noise to piss off the neighbors” on Brent’s done list. But R Kelly would say: it’s better to be pissed off than pissed on. Or maybe R would say the opposite.
What’s with Purple?
“Purple is something else. I’ve never seen anything like her before except for the Wookies from Star Wars. She loves eating anything and everything. Loves sleeping all day and riding in baskets and only biting me in my face when playing with her. People never know what she is, too. I love that little dog.”
Benefits of rocking a cane?
“The benefits are endless with a cane. For one they are way better then crutches. Crutches are big and bulky and a cane is slick and smooth. Pimps use them when they don’t even need them.”
In the down time, Brent has also been known to knock out a book or two. Such books include “The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz”, the Ron Jeremy autobiography. So Brent knows why Mr. Jeremy is called the hedgehog. Go ahead, ask him why in the comments.
So why is he called the hedgehog? I mean, I can guess but who knows with that guy. Also, how is that book. Looking for another good book to bang out.

he flew out from the east coast to do a porn and when he got to cali he was wearing a tank top, short shorts and sandals. he decided to rent a harley to ride to his shoot by big bear and on the way it started snowing. when he showed up to the shoot he was almost frozen and the director threw him in the shower and hes a pretty hairy guy i guess and when he got out of the shower he was bright red and his hair all over his body was standing on end. one of the “actresses” said he looked like a hedgehog and it stuck. He wasn’t real happy with the name but hes still called it. Its a funny book. I bought it at a thrift store. If your looking to read it you can have mine!
