Too Fast To Live, Too Young To Die

Mack Dawg Done
For video junkies like myself, this is some sad sad stuff. Mack Dawg Productions boss-man Mike McEntire has annouced that following ‘Double Decade‘ they will no longer be producing annual snowboard films. Instead they will be focusing on other film projects including a documentary on Peter Line (which is guaranteed …

Robbie Walker backside 180 Japan over the Red Bull Gap jump. Photo: Alex Roberts. Day 1 is over. It’s StyleWars and I know you all want to know what’s going on. In short, after day one Charles Reid is on top with insane frontside 1080’s and massive 90-foot corked frontside …

Ride Slimewalls Webisode 1
The only thing better than actors snowboarding, is snowboarders acting. That said, it’s worth heading over to the Ride website to check out the first Webisode promoting Rides Slimewall technology.

Rumors: Aus/NZ Snowboarding Sold?
We’re hearing rumors from several sauces (that’s right, the ketchup told me) that ACP have sold Australian and New Zealand Snowboarding to Wolseley Media – the investment fund that swapped Rolling Stone for Waves and Tracks a few months ago. According to the rumor, Wolseley picked up Auz/NZ Snowboarding along …
NZ Last Days
Well as quick as it began (bullshit, thanks airlines) its over (not true, double fuck you airlines). Well not yet.

Double Corks Are Dumb
I didn’t really want to post that many teasers because a million other websites do the same, but this is definitely worth a look. We posted the first teaser here a while ago, and that was pretty good, but this one is a bit gnarly. Apparently filmed on the Oakley …
EN-ZED, bro

Team Thunder Director Sean McCormick Ashbury Interview
Our mates over at the Ashbury blog have an interview up with one of our other mates, Sean McCormick. He’s the pretty face behind the dirtbag snowboard movement known as Team Thunder. It’s worth the read, but I don’t know about that Pitbull photo Lance, that’s just horrific.
