The Glacier

It was noon and Gary was waiting interminably for Larry in the skiff. Their skiff was a different kind of skiff. It had a tall roof and motorized ores.the boat had all the sustanance for survival. The skiff had to leave by 12:30 for the maritime journey to conquer something.The two were zealot about this mission.
Finally Larry was thrown out of a cab going way over the speed limit. Gary was cracking up as he watched him tumble for a few feet, get up and run to get on the skiff before he left with out him.
“Hello Larry, you are almost late.” Gary said in a dark tone.
“Are you kidding me Gary you are so damn critical of everyone.” Hollered Larry from his part of the skiff.
With that little squabble they were off to find a place that even they could conquer. As the two sailors approached the North Atlantic Ocean they got hungry noticed a massive albacore swim under their skiff. So quickly Gary got up and took out his gaff. He ran to the gunwhale of the small rowboat and poked the albacore ferociously. He had caught the albacore.
“Oh hell no you are going to be our dinner and like it!” Gary yelled at the albacore flopping on the deck of the skiff. “I will not allow you to thwart my plans for a big dinner tonight you delicious tasting fish.” Gary exclaimed in a stern voice.
As Gary was ranting about stopping the rather large fish from flopping all over the skiff Larry saw a large glacier in the dark. It was night before Gary got the fish to get calmed down and ready to eat.
“Hey Gary today I saw a massive glacier that we should conquer.” Larry explained to Gary
“Really, was the snow accumulation good enough for our purposes?” Questioned Gary.
“Hell yes, the snow was deep powder with some runs that aren’t that steep perfect to build jib parks.” Larry explained.
“If this is true this is the island we are going to conquer. Larry you know now you’re supposed to get up and set us on course for that island.” Said Gary in a happy voice.
Through the night the small boat crawled over the water and under the cumulus clouds towards the glacier. By daybreak they were at the shores of the island. Because the boat was a skiff it had a flat bottom so it could still float in very shoal water. Another customization of the boat is wheels can come out to get it onto the shore and out of the water.
Gary woke in the morning and said “ Larry go into the storage compartment and get our snow stuff.”
“Ok I got it.” Larry answered in an annoyed tone.
So they gathered their stuff and ventured off onto the seemingly deserted island’s backcountry terrain. There were amazing hits and great gaps already built out of natural terrain. It was paradise; it was what the tow conquerors had been searching for, for their whole lives. As Gary and Larry came down the mountain Slashing powder everywhere they heard a booming voice.
“Who are you and what are you doing on my island?” Questioned a very benevolant looking man.
“We are Gary and Larry and we are here to transform this island into the ultimate snowboarding experience.” Explained Gary in his most intimidating voice.
“You shall not even begin this project under my watch.” Screamed Captain Scar in an extremely angry voice.
“Ok then I will complete my project without you on this island!” Hollered Gary.
The two made a bet that whoever did the best trick off the big air jump that Larry built got to have control of the island. The rules of the bet were a best of 3 run format. Whoever did the best run in three runs got to keep the island. It was Gary’s first run and he threw a switch backside 1080. Then Captain Scar threw a double rodeo 1080. The contest was heating up threw the second run and so was the trash talk.
The wind was whipping in Gary’s face as he dropped down the run towards the jump under the cirrus clouds. As Gary approached the take off he started to rotate his shoulders around. He hit the lip and threw his body around like a screwdriver in the air. He landed the trick right in the sweet spot of the landing. He threw a trick the world had never seen before; a back flip 1440. So after seeing that trick Captain Scar just gave up.
So now larry and Gary have now conquered and emancipated the island from captain scar.Then they purported the island as a giant terrain park. The two conquerors transformed the island into a perfect jib park. They also had a few extremely good jump lines. So Gary and Larry lived and rode on the island until the day they died.
