What does that mean?
If you do something full send, especially in extreme sports, you’re doing it full-throttle and with 100% commitment—even if you end up failing.
In extended, popular slang, full send has the sense of “intense,” “hardcore,” or “without regard to consequences.”
There are so many times where I have leaped off the cliff before looking or knowing what was on the other side. This first big trip with Sarge needed a bit more attention but will still have a major element of Full Send.
“You can’t do epic shit with basic people.”

Even the best made plans…
A massive lesson you learn with defenders…at least I have learned being with Sarge, plan for the best because no matter what Sarge is getting out with or without my help.
Sarge like always makes the best counterpart. He is entirely focused on himself and how he can support me. It’s like he knows he’s uncomfortable to be around currently but still does his very best.
This particular trip is more of an excursion with hosts, gear, and plans to meet up.
Before we took off:
- Track bar (Panhard rod) bushings
14mm sleeve and 34 mm poly bushing - Seal all windows and any holes
- Double check diesel heaters
- Pack everything including the bike and wet suit – you never know.
The Route
Trips are usually a get in the car with all the gear and take off kind of thing for me. I don’t plan, I don’t think, I just carry a passport in and some other goodies in my purse. This trip is about satiating needs more than just a drive.
Consistently neglected needs during the pandemic include
-self care in the form of adventure and hair
-curiosity in skills
-loneliness for aligned individuals
I currently live in the small town I grew up in. There is a small ski hill, some American car culture, and don’t get me started on the food. It is what got me started and interested in the things I love. But in order to keep growing, we all need to branch out from our everyday.
