Check out this video of roller shoes. I have never been on roller shoes in my life. I have seen kids walking down the street and then starting rolling, and I thought it was the easiest thing ever until I tried a pair. I have a totally new respect for people who roll around in their shoes. Check out the video. It's hilarious. If you never have roller-shoe'd, try to find a pair that fits you. I think they make them for kids. You would have to look to the far end of the earth to find them, but, when you do, video it. I want to see it. It's hilarious. I have a brand new respect!!

I had an awesome chance to go do a TV interview at Caribbean Television, with Shorron Levy. It was a great interview. But at the beginning of the interview, it was really funny. She couldn't figure out my name. She kept calling me Michael Kerr. So check out some of the outtakes. We got some behind the scenes footage of it. Kinda funny. But you can't give her a hard time. She is an awesome lady. Check out the video. It will air in a couple of weeks on the Caribbean Television website: cbtv1.com. I am really starting to feel the buzz starting to go for the Jamaican Ski Team. Afterwards, I had a chance to catch up with her to have a bite to eat before we headed over to the city by the Bay for the evening.

Hey guys,

Wednesday I had a sweet chance to go hook up with Yardbarker guys over at their home base in the East Bay. Afterwards, Dewey and I went for a tour of Jamaican restaurants and shops. We had an awesome chance to catch up with a really cool Jamaican named Art, and I was able to ask him what he thought about a Jamaican ski team. Check out the video of us touring the East Bay. It's sweet. Leave me your love, and tell me what you think.

Today I'm off to Reno and tomorrow I'll be in Oakland filming with Caribbean TV. Then it's off to New Zealand. But not before I share some Go Kart action with the Yard. I like going fast. Skiing. BMX. Go Karts. Watch the video.

Crosstraining BMX in South Lake

I was driving around Truckee in my 1996 Chevy Astro van, and I also have a little scooter that gets good gas mileage. I had the scooter in the back of the van. Then today the van dies on me while I was on my way to the dentist's office. I was in Truckee, which is near Tahoe (CA). The alternator died. I unloaded the scooter, rolled it out the back, and scooted over to the dentist office. After my dentist appointment, I scooted back to the van and called my buddy, who charged up my ride and then we drove it to the repair shop. The van is fixed and currently stretching its legs.

The moral of the story is that there's no stopping the Jamaica Ski Team. We've always got a way out.

Have a look at the Jamaica Ski Team van.

I got invited to a sweet event in San Fran last Friday... the All Stars Helping Kids Fantasy Football Draft. It was a good time. I met a ton of cool people and my coach and I made a lot of great contacts. My buddy Trevor even drove all day from Vegas to South Lake Tahoe to San Fran to get in on some great food and a solid DJ. Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott, Marcus Allen, Darren McFadden and a whole bunch of other former and current NFL ballers showed up... and the 49ers cheerleaders were there in full force. I want to thank all of the folks at All Stars Helping Kids, SC-Consult, and Yardbarker for putting on such a killer event and I'd like to thank my ski sponsor Atomic for donating a pair of skis and a snowboard to support the cause... clutch. So, keep your eyes out for future All Stars Helping Kids events and help support this great organization.

The Jamaica Ski Team got going on June 1st and we're now in full swing. I've been holding nothing back in dryland and it's starting to pay off. We had our first on-snow camp of the season up at Mt Hood from 7/9-13. It was a short and sweet 5 days of free-skiing and GS training and I feel like I got a lot accomplished and was skiing well towards the end. My coach and I stayed with the Andrews family from Tahoe and we had a blast... they're cool people and they dished up some fat and tasty meals. Our next camp is in New Zealand from 7/31-8/21 with a couple of FIS GS races 8/19-20. Should be a ton of fun and I'm psyched to have a full-time technician for the first time ever. If you see our team van cruising around or guys wearing Jamaica ski team jackets give us a holler.

Peace

Here's a little ski cross action for you guys. Watch it! Comment! Enjoy!

I'm less than three weeks into my preparation period for this coming season but so far so good. We're heading to Hood for a quick five day camp in July and then it's off to New Zealand for three weeks in August. However, right now it's all about dryland. I've been lifting (using muscles I never knew I had), doing field workouts, hittin the BMX and moto tracks, riding my road bike, hiking, and even squeezing 18 in every now and then. I'm literally feeling stronger and more fit every day. By the time this coming season rolls around there's no doubt I'll be in the best shape of my life. I'm leaving nothing to chance this year and one thing's for sure, I'm gonna keep givin'er all I got.

This film was put together by Mark Oliver for the Jeep Ski Tour, and is about our travelling crew.

Here's an article that was written in the Jamaica Observer in their editorial section, published on Saturday, June 07, 2008. I've included the link below.

Errol Kerr (on the right) battles it out with Davey Barr and Jake Fiala in Ski Cross World Cup.

This past ski season was just awesome. I got an opportunity to travel with the United States Ski Team and represent my country (not only just myself) in international ski competitions. Growing up as a ski racer, you spend your whole life dreaming of that. At the beginning of this year, I finally had the opportunity to compete in my first World Cup. That was one of the more memorable days of skiing in my life. I woke up that day knowing that I was going to have an opportunity to compete against the best skiers in the world. That day I started 89th in my first World Cup, and when it all was over, and the snow had settled, I had made it to 12th. And just as soon as it began, it was all over.

This Spring I went to Jamaica to pursue a long term dream of mine to represent the land of my father in international ski competitions, and thanks to the help of countless kind, caring, and compassionate people in Jamaica, that dream is now coming true. There are still some bumps in the road to be smoothed out, and some unfinished business to be done, but the fact of the matter is: Errol Kerr will be representing Jamaica, the land of his father in the upcoming World Cup season.
