Byrdseye Productions @LBS 2013



Byrdseye Productions bring us behind the scenes goodness from LBS. 

The Lib Tech Crew @LBS 2013



I for one am very happy with more footage from LBS. Snowboarding really needs more events like this. This is what the sport is all about. 

YES. It's a DCP Mini Movie



How can you not like Yes.? How can you not dig 10+ minutes of DCP doing what DCP does best? I rest my case.

LSP Days in Whistler Episode 3



Stumbled across this gem today. Most of the info is in Japanese (I assume) so I can't really say anything more about this. It does feature Tadashi Fuse and a lot of the good stuff. That's enough for me. And there's loads more where this came from.

Mt. Baker Banked Slalom 2013



A perfect gift from the good people over at Snowboarder Magazine. This clip made my day! I've had a few dreams about riding that course... What any snowboarder wouldn't give to take part in Banked Slalom at Mt. Baker. This is how Nico Müller summed up his experience of the event: "Best experience in a long time. I think every pro snowboarder should at some point do that event. The amount of different people that come together from Pioneers, Legends and young riders is incredible. The Mt.Baker Banked Slalom stands for riding, no matter who you are let’s see how you turn your snowboard and may the fastest win." (quote taken from Onboard Magazine) 

8 Mile Life: Boys Will Be Boys



The 8 Mile Life crew treats you to almost 14 minutes of high-octane-attitude-filled-ballsy-snow-shred-action... Grab a beer and lean back. Gabba-gabba-hey.

K2 Snowboarding: Our Backyard



I promised to post some more series that are "pushing the envelope" of how brands tell their story. K2 Snowboarding is one of my favourite examples. The "Our Backyard" -series really captures the essence of the brand and shows what K2 is all about - shredding at Mt Baker. Visit the K2 Vimeo page for more episodes of goodness.

Japan Journals episode 2



The title of this episode says it all: Pillows for days... 

Ultra Natural riders announced



Snowboarder Magazine got to pick one rider for Ultra Natural. Their addition is Mr Brian Fox. I for one agree 110% with their pick. Then again would Pat Bridges ever make a wrong move? Or a bad interview? Answer: "No". 

I'm also really stoked to see Jussi Oksanen added to the list of riders. Jussi got picked by Transworld Snowboarding. Read the full scoop here

Check out the 16 riders who will be challenging T.Rice for the Ultra Natural crown.

Nike bad boys hitting Chile



An earlier post featured a teaser / shorter edit of the Nike crew hitting Chile. Here is more mouth watering action from the boys: Gigi, Nico, Danny & Manuel. The boys are tearing the Chilean mountains a new... 

Alberta Uncovered



Good time ridin' in this mini movie by Billabong and TWS. This came as a nice extra feature/add-on (whatever one should call it) on the digital version of TWS. As such it works a charm. A lot of brands are putting more and more effort into making good quality clips to promote their goods & teams. I'll be posting some more of these in the days to come. Stay tuned.

David Benedek's "Current State: Snowboarding"

I

I really felt I had to promote this book by David Benedek. It's not fresh off the press and most of you probably already know about it... but it's still worth your while! My wife was kind enough to get me a copy of it last spring for my birthday. I was soo stoked (still am actually)! This book is the complete package. This little making of video above shows just how much passion went into making it happen. Inspirational. Make sure to check out the Almost Anything website and secure your copy of the book. David's new website is also worth checking out.

GO! episode 2

Picture from Transworld Snowboarding. 
Head on over to TWS and check out the second episode of the GO crews endeavors in Jackson Hole. I posted the trailer of the show earlier on the blog. For a more in depth report check out the GO site here. Highly recommended stuff. Looking forward to their episode from the Mt Baker Banked Slalom that went down this weekend.  

Salomon 13/14 shoot in Chile



This is such a feel good clip. Tons of action & good times. I'm sure the catalogue will be a real treat. Salomon have a really hard hitting team and have been putting out super products for a long time. They also have one of the coolest sites out there.
