Lick the Cat – GL2.001
When Michael Wick, Staxwood (Sam Taxwood), Zack Hale, Merrick Joyce, and the GL2 ride at Park City this is what it looks like.
Skateboard Fail
It doesn’t matter how good or bad you are at skateboarding you will fail, if you haven’t already, at some point. Luckily enough for us this skateboard fail can been seen by everyone.
Next time you think about throwing a snowball at your friends make sure to put the safety gate down!
A 17-year-old Albuquerque teen who fell about 45 feet from a ski-lift chair onto steep, snowy terrain at Ski Santa Fe a few weeks ago is reportedly OK.
“Basically, the kid is home and he is fine,” said Cody Sheppard, the ski patrol director at Ski Santa Fe. “It was kind of a dramatic deal. I guess he was attempting to throw a snowball to the chair in front of him, where some friends were, and when he threw the snowball, the momentum just carried him out of the chair. ” [Santa Fe New Mexican]
The Harlem Shake
Yeah, we decided to make a Harlem Shake video. It was a good day at the shop.
Above looking at all the new product at SIA is the 686 Light Out event. This mano-a-mano boxing match puts industry dude vs industry dude. Lights Out is beyond entertaining, of course the beer helps, and there is a reason everyone in the ring has a profession in the snow sports industry. We can’t wait to see who 686 puts in the ring next year!
Shaun White Commercial
Shaun White plays on a completely different field than every snowboarder who has ever lived. Love him or hate him, it won’t affect what Shaun is capable of.
I’m glad Stride Chewing Gum understands humor. What’s funnier than a gum company sponsoring a snowboarder? A gum company that makes fun of the snowboarder they sponsor.
There’s no better way to split up your day checking out Signal snowboard Every Third Thursday! These videos just keep getting better and better this board is built with some sweets options and a some crazy surprises inside.
Out of all the all the Rube Goldberg Machine I have seen this is by far one of the most entertaining. Red bull “Klug” (meaning ”clever”) combines world-class athletes and seemingly complex machinery to performs a simple task, that just might make you thirsty. Despite that fact this is just another one of Red Bull’s clever (or “klug”) marketing ploys, design to go viral. It is still worth spending the next few min watching. Enjoy!
The Buffalo Bill Downhill Race (aka Buffalo Bill Downhill Blood Spill) is held in Golden, Colorado. This year thing got a little interesting. As Skateboarding Ryan Vitale tackled a deer. Besides for a few scraps and bruises Ryan and the deer where both unharmed. In closing that is why you should always wear protection. Make sure to checkout out our section Longboards, Skateboard Helmets and Skateboards Pads.
No Snowboarding Allowed. Hello, 1987 called – they want their old world view back!
As you may know, Alta is one of the only mountains left in the United States that does not allow snowboarding. Some people believe the lack of snowboarders is what makes it great. Personally, I disagree. What makes Alta great is the fact that it is a place where old time separatist skiers can go to congregate. Thanks Alta, for keeping that negative attitude and an old world views separate from the generally public.
I for one hope, that someday an old bad ass snowboarder (hint hint Jake Burton), opens a Mountain just for snowboarders.
Power to the Poachers!

Golden Child Turns Bad Boy
Put your hands together for Shaun White’s PR Director. By winning 2 Winter Olympic Gold Metals, 24 X Games Metals, and receiving the inconceivable perfect score, somehow Shaun White lost a considerable amount of respect. Since the launch of Shaun White Inc’s failed attempt in the scooter market, there needed to be major changes. Back at HQ his team devised a plan: Get Shaun more street credit A.K.A. Mission Tomato Fling.
Shaun White Inc’s PR Department knew they had to keep Shaun safe all while making him look bad as ever, hence the location…Nashville.

This looks like more fun than a lot of things.
Something is terribly wrong with America. Despite the economy, National Debt of $15,889,359,118.18 and obesity that has taken the US on a whirlwind ride – crap like SpnKIX continually pops up across the nation, and it sells.
I can just see it now, a bunch of investors listening to a pitch nodding their heads in agreement to the brilliant idea of SpnKIX. SpnKIX are “Cool motorized skates that put wings on your feet.” There is a lot more that could be said about SpnKIX. Read More
Chuckbuddies
With a huge grasp on the European Action Sports Toy Market, Chuckbuddies recently decided to launch their flingable snowboarding toy in the US. In December of 2011 Flow Snowboards began US distribution for Chuckbuddies; with over 100 shops selling Chuckbuddies it looks like they’ll bypass the once famous Huck Doll. Read More
