House Boardshop and Burton team rider Gabi Viteri is in the Twin Cities this week on a super-secret filming mission but took the time to drop in on The House Boardshop offices and showroom to say hello to the crew and the lucky customers on-hand. She even donned a headset and took some (supervised) sales and customer service calls little to the lucky caller’s knowledge.
… and even took the razor scooter tour around the warehouses…
The Stepchild posse is currently celebrating 10 years of being in the business of board making. In honor of that they’ve got some special boards coming your way in 2012, including this official 10-year anniversary Latchkey snowboard. For copyright purposes we’re not going to call out the company the graphic is designed after, but let’s just say it’s the 21+ beverage of choice for the majority of snowboarders out there…
This past weekend The House Boardshop crew headed over to the Rocky Mountains to the Snow Sports Industry Association’s annual tradeshow in Denver, CO to check out the new product that all your favorite brands will be offering up next year. The crew spent three days checking out thousands of new products and technology with the intention of bringing the best and most bad-ass new gear to our fans and loyal customers.
We’ll be bringing you sneak peaks of 2012 product over the course of the next couple weeks, but aside from that here’s a bonus gallery of some of the antic’s surrounding the crew’s trip when they weren’t busy weeding through product and meeting with industry folks. (Admittedly, there may have been some business mixed with pleasure throughout the course of the trip- as tends to happen at industry gatherings such as SIA.)

Rarely can a person excel at two very different skills. When the NBA’s greatest player ever tried playing professional baseball, he failed miserably. When Arnold tried governing, that turned out pretty bad. Even the man with the golden voice couldn’t do anything more than just be homeless (he just quit rehab and is back on the streets). But once in a while someone great comes along and dominates. Remember Deion Sanders? Neon Deion was the freaking man! Not only did he dominate in the NFL and MLB, but he wore cool bandanas and pretty much invented afterbang with his high-steppin and end zone dances.
Well now action sport’s spastic golden boy Travis Pastrana is about to take over another sport, too. He already owned the world’s of MotoX and Rally Racing and next week he debuts in his first NASCAR race. Personally, we think this is pretty cool, regardless of the popular opinion towards turning left for hours. It will be even cooler if he starts winning because then you’ll be able to trash talk all your redneck friends about how much more athletic us “extreme” kids are. Pastrana is keeping it core, too. Not only has he managed grab number 99 for the side of his whip, he’s got DC and Nixon on his lineup of sponsors. Never in our lives did we think we’d see a Nixon logo making 200 mph loops, but we think it’s going to look good doing so.
Signal Snowboards is killing it with their Every Third Thursday project videos. We didn’t think they could top the Lego snowboard but a snowboard that is a boombox just might. Check it out below.
Skullcandy and Neff came thru huge at Agenda Trade Show here in Anaheim, CA last night when they brought out Snoop Dog to play the official Agenda Trade Show party- and at a bowling alley no less!
After hours of traversing the convention center floors and countless product-line showings attendees of the show were treated to free bowling and the musical genius of Snoop as he DJ’d (yep, he not only raps, he DJ’s too) a substantially good set, and you know The House Boardshop crew was on-hand for that. Only in action-sports do you get to bowl and see Snoop Dog at a business trade show…

The crew at Signal Snowboards got the creative bug this Holiday season and came up with the idea to make a “Lego” top-sheet snowboard, which we here at The House think is pretty genius. Snowboards really are just toys for big kids anyway.
Unfortunately we won’t have the Lego top-sheet in stock here at The House, but you can check out the rest of our Signal Snowboard’s available here.
The first run of the season, heck, the first turn even, can be a little daunting. We’ve all been there, wondering if it will all come back like riding a bicycle. And usually it does. All the style you’ve racked up comes back effortlessly and it only takes a couple turns to remember how fun snowboarding is.
Unless, that is, you’re this girl (hilariousness ensues)…
Guess it can happen to the best of us.
Awhile back we gave away a Gator Doyle Wakeskate on our weekly Follow Friday Freebie Twitter giveaway. Our winner happened to be one of our followers named Nick Tam. Shortly thereafter we got a Facebook message from a Nick Tam with his shipping address. Not thinking much of it we shipped off the wakeskate.
What we didn’t realize is that there are two Nick Tams that we’re friends with on Facebook and Twitter. Der. So Nick Tam #1 has been patiently waiting for his anticipated wakeskate while Nick Tam #2 has been enjoying his new toy.
A huge apology on our part to Nick Tam #1, who has been very gracious about this whole debacle. Per Nick Tam #1′s request we are sending him a new Sessions Snowboard Jacket instead of the Gator Doyle Wakeskate. It’s in the mail buddy.
Who knew there were two Nick Tam’s?

Interesting… very interesting. Not really sure what else to say about this one.
If you missed part one check it out below after the jump.
And she pushes mongo! Mongo aside, she means serious business. This one is a venerable must-see.
Ever wondered what allows Scott Stevens to jib stuff you never imagined jibbable, or Bode Merrill to double-cork into powder? Maybe it was what their mom fed them for breakfast as a kid, maybe it is natural talent, or it could just be the gear they are riding. That is why SNOWBOARDER Magazine and The House Boardshop are catching up with some of the top pros to see what in their arsenal of product for this video series we like to call, “Shred to Toe”.
Do you have the balls to jump 80 feet into water off of a bridge?
House Boardshop team rider Brennen Swanson sent this little nugget in to us this week. It’s of him and and his friend, pro snowboarder Ross Baker, jumping off an undisclosed bridge 80 feet into water. Seeing is believing.
Shaun White get’s his thrill on at his home mountain of Park City. There’s a whole lot of red hair flowing in the wind as Shaun hit’s up the Alpine Slide, Zip Line, Mountain Coaster (the awkward scene is awesome) and even the Park City Skate park. Hilarity ensues.
You don’t need to go to the gym to train for this upcoming shred season. All you need is a tarp, skateboard, and a couple friends to roll you a pipeline. Surf’s up!
