Alexis Roland
I want you to cast your mind back to the early Shaun White days as an young buck with a giant helmet ripping methods in Totally Board and Mack Dawg films. It was impressive, wasn’t it? Fast forward to 2008 and we should probably be a little scared of 8 …

Tribe Films
I don’t usually post all the teasers that make their way past my eyeballs for a number of reasons, lots of them suck, nobody cares, and there are simply hundreds of them out there. However, this teaser from Tribe Films IS worth a look for a number of reasons, it’s …

All Is Fair In Love & War
Apart from the fact that I’ve always wanted to write a sweet pun-laden headline, seems the 09 Burton Love graphics still has blood boiling. TWBIZ has an interesting article about a group of fundementalist christian/hardline feminist/concerned parents that actually held a protest outside Burton’s Vermont HQ. Obviously these guys haven’t …

Rob Mathis’ Photo Book SLIDE Video
You would have read our other two posts about our friend Rob’s photo book, SLIDE. I had a chance to read a friends copy last week, and holy crap it’s good. I didn’t think I was old enough to be nostalgic about snowboarding, but evidently I am. When I saw …
