New post series: Line of the week


"Let snowboarding stay confusing for those who don’t understand activities that let everyone be a winner." - Danny Larsen

Decided to start a weekly post series I'll call "Line of the week". This is where I share a weekly quote   that sums up what snowboarding (to me) is all about. So here goes. The honour of kicking  things off goes to non other than Danny Larsen

Picture from TWS.

And then there's Terje



I left this one out of the previous Friday flavoured post. It deserved its own mention. Watching this just sends chills down my spine. This is snowboarding. And so is Terje. Hands down the most stylish and progressive snowboarder. Just watch it. Now! 

Jake Blauvelt Naturally



I know. I'm stating the obvious here... This one caused a storm when it was release a while back. And it's probably (one of) the most anticipated release of 2013. I know I can't wait for it. Friday has done some incredibly great work filming snowboarding. Tracking Eero and the Naturally series bring an interesting & fresh look at the life of (pro)snowboarders and nothing but A+ shredding. Watch them all. It'll do you good.  

Be cool. Helmets on



That was quick. The Red product line is now known as Anon (see more details here). Looking good. Helmets are the only smart choice, they're cool, functional and actually really comfortable. I'm a believer.  

Doing it for the cause




Me and some friends have been toying with the idea of putting on a low-key "fun for all shred fest". Something that suits us "oldies" now that rails & gap jumps are a thing of the past. Needless to say that we've been heavily inspired by the Banked Slalom at Mt Baker, the Dirksen Derby and other classic back to basics events. After seeing the above clip I'm more convinced than ever that we just need to move on to the "DO"-phase of our project. Enough talk. We need action. And fun. We will put together a cool little banked course, gather together some good people, play good music & have tasty food + drinks. The do good aspect is also something we want to throw in there!

Relax. Canada represent




Forgot about this one. I've had it on my computer for a couple of months. After finally watching it tonight I'm really stoked. High quality riding, good tunes and a really positive vibe. Real smooth. Highly recommended. Download available here

Icons in the park




DD & KJ lapping up the park to some good ol' punk. Icons. Salute. 

Relate to it




Nice project & film by Antti Autti and friends. Antti said somewhere that one should start talking about "freeridestyle" as opposed to "freeriding" or "freestyle". I couldn't agree more. Free. Ride. Style. Makes perfect sense.
