Travis basically made a “north shore” snowboard run. Thankfully they chose to do it in the only area in America with snow this season.
Little history on snowboarding & the making of Standard Films snowboarding movies. Those premieres were fun, they were pretty much the only good thing about the ASR show that week. Jam packed full of random dudes who loved snowboarding. Check after the jump for parts 1 + 2
Gimme some more. Post a comment (0)Pretty cool article / Video on Jeremy Jones (free ride) on National Geographic’s site. Check out the full article here.
Can’t wait. Summer’s working time so we can play all winter.
More inside!
ESPN’s Real Snow videos are up. Up above is JP Walker’s edit where he puts some good midwest mid-century architecture to good use (others do as well). Pretty cool clips. Jeremy Jones’ work with his ridiculous spinnermajig binder is crazy and Simon Chamberlain’s rail skills definitely shouldn’t be in question after viewing his video. Check ‘em out, definitely worth a few minutes of your time if you enjoy sliding sideways on snow. Thanks to Boardistan for the heads up.
Saw this over on Boardistan & couldn’t not post it. 23′s an amazing chair which serves Mammoth’s lift-accessed steep terrain like the Wipeout / Dropout chutes & the Paranoids amonst others. This tube is there to protect you from the not-so-subtle winds that go hand in hand with Mammoth. With 17 feet of snow this week it got…. buried? Be fun if they carved out a giant snow tube so it would feel like you were riding in the old Universal Studios “Avalanche” ride.
Pretty cool Halloween themed Nike / Danny Kass video over on AWSM
FOREWARNING!! It’s kinda graphic, it has to do with Zombies eating people. If you don’t like that well, probably don’t watch it.

A while back we rolled up to Tahoe to meet with the guys at the Burton Snowboard Academy at Northstar about a couple projects. While we were there we got a full tour of the place and to say it’s amazing would be an understatement.
Idiocracy couldn’t have said it any better. In case you haven’t noticed, this blog is generally about design, skateboarding and snowboarding with a few random tidbits of nonsense thrown in. Well, this covers at least two of those subjects. I came across this in a recent email blast from Megalo Mart, Price Club, Costco – heli time in Alaska.
Tonight Omatic’s own Louie Vito danced his way into onto the Olympic stage landing himself a solid 5th place. Check after the jump to see the story of how this relates to our blog…
Road trips mean new adventures whether it be seeing new & cool things, eating new & cool foods or acquiring new & cool stories. One of my favorite parts about road trips, especially road trips through random area are the incredible roadside signage. This year’s SIA show was in Denver, so naturally that called for a road trip and all it’s glorious signs of yesterday.
