Random Stuff from the Life of David

So I couldn’t narrow things down to one more adventure for Fan vs. Wild that I actually have pictures of (most of my adventures just weren’t planned with cameras in mind), so I’m kind of just going to throw out a bunch of pictures and adventures I’ve had.  Some of them are more adventurous than others and some are just pictures that show a little bit of my personality.

We’ll start with some pictures of me climbing a rock in Southern Utah.

Next up are some pictures from Alaska. Canoeing down the Russian River and some mountains with me and my cousin Caleb (I was Scruffy Dawg A and he was Scruffy Dawg B for that trip – neither one of us shaved for the time we were there and it really didn’t matter because neither one of us could grow any real facial hair).

Camping out in the western-Utah desert with Jordan and Joseph (my brothers) and then some salt tasting/morning push-ups on the Salt Flats (I still do at least a hundred push-ups six mornings a week, just not very often on the Salt Flats).

  Next up are some wrestling pictures.  Actually, they are more like concentration camp pictures from when I was pretty skinny.  Sorry for the bad quality – if I ever come across the originals I will definitely rescan them. 

Next up we have some pain and injury pictures  Basically these are shots of when I’ve been injured or at least I was pretending to be injured.  The first are following our motorhome wreck in 1994 (someday I’ll have to write down that whole story – it’s where I got the piece of glass or gravel that’s in my cheek).  The next ones are paintball-related.

  You can see the scars from the first picture in the second picture on my lower back.

And, since I’ve started showing pictures of paintball, (that and I’m pretty consumed with writing about it and dealing with it as a business), here are a few more including the time that Recon Magazine (now out of business – so sad) did a full-page shot of me.

Finally, here’s a very brief clip from a music video I made that shows me “foot-skiing” down a mountain.  I think of this as a form of skiing where you just slide and jump and slide and jump down steep portions of rock or dirt on mountains.  Someday I’ll have to go to a long rock slide and show me skiing all the way down it.
