Forums Splitboard Talk Forum Status update – Going on Auto-Pilot Viewing 15 posts - 1 through 15 (of 15 total)Author Posts December 30, 2014 at 4:16 pm #776386 splitboard.com 78 PostsHi Splitters,Just wanted to provide a little insight on the site status and some issues I’m facing.As much as I try to keep my personal life private I feel like you need to know that I’m in a really bad place in my life right now. I’m currently going through a separation and divorce from the mother of my children and wife of 19 years.It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through and it’s going to take time for me to heal. I know there’s a lot of things that need to be done with the site but I just can’t get to them right now. The site isn’t the reason for our martial issues but in hindsight the amount of time I’ve spent on it over the years could have been better severed on our relationship and it’s definitely taken a toll.I need to focus on what’s most important in my life, my family and my own health.So with that, please continue to make the most of this awesome place we’ve created and I hope to see you all on the other side soon.Chriswww.splitboard.com December 30, 2014 at 7:46 pm #776415 schwalbster 321 PostsVery, very sorry to hear that Chris!

That may sound a bit dramatic, but beyond just riding; splitboarding has provided me an avenue to more profound personal aims and progression of self. So for me the resource has helped in ways that extend beyond just riding a snowboard out of bounds.Shark Snowsurf Chuna Voile V-Tail 170 BC Voile One Ninety Five Spark R&D Arc December 30, 2014 at 10:26 pm #776467 Rico in AZ 559 PostsOh man.Take care of yourself.

I know you have worked hard to make it work.If you decide to come out for SIA this year, you still have a place to stay.Perhaps it would be better to make it more about splitting and afternoon visits to the show.

It was in the mountains and talking about the mountains here that helped me find some solace. The mountains can heal, I know. Your dedication to this site and this sport is bigger than you know. Let it return the favor! Viewing 15 posts - 1 through 15 (of 15 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
