Benji Lee Elmergreen
What do you get when you mix a yogi, fashion designer, and overall cool chic with a thrasher, sales rep, and overall cool dude? You get a Benji Lee Elmergreen. Congratulations to Bob & Mindy Elmergreen on the birth of their first child Benji Lee Elmergreen!
Little Benji has already dropped into his first 12′ bowl, has mastered the Handless Head Stand, and is scheduled to play Garry Kasparvo for the World Championship Chess Title in July.

Keep your your eyes on this baby because he’ll be in the spotlight in no time. Read More
Hunger Games Shirts
Don’t lie, you read the Hunger Games trilogy. You also dresses up and camped out 3 days in advance for the Hunger Games movie premier. As a snowboarder you feel the need to stay “core” all while showing support for your Hunger Games crushes; Peeta and Gale.
Snowboarding heartthrob Peter Line fits the profile of Peeta Mellark perfectly for Team Peeta and steals the hearts of young girls all over the world. There are no pro snowboarders with the name of Gale, but after a quick search we found Pro Bowler from the Green Bay Packers, Gale Gillingham, to be our man Gale Hawthorne for Team Gale.
Peter Line hits huge hips and Gale Gillingham hits people, hard. How will you pick your team? Team Peeta or Team Gale?
Team Gale Shirts
How do you show support for your favorite movie the Hunger Games? By wearing Hunger Games shirts.
There is nobody in the action sports industry by the first name of Gale. However, there is a Pro Bowler from the Green Bay Packers named Gale Gillingham. I bet if the late Gale Gillingham were still with us he’d hit hips just as hard as he hit Quarterbacks.
Team Gale or Team Peeta?
Team Peeta Shirts
Hunger Games shirts are going to be THEE fashion piece this spring, especially the Team Peeta (Peter Line) shirts.
Although Peter Line has nothing in common with Hunger Games character Peter Mellark, we decided he needed a shirt. Show support for your favorite pro rider and your favorite movie without looking like a complete sally.
Team Peeta or Team Gale?
Kaitlyn Farrington – USSA Grand Prix Series Champion

Tyler Anderson – 2012 USSA Mammoth Mountain Grand Prix
Part fisherman, snowboarder, ladies man, and height amplifier – Tyler Anderson gets around. Here he is riding at the 2012 USSA Mammoth Mountain Grand Prix on Saturday March, 4th.
If you want to give Tyler a high five, it’s going to be about 20′ out of the pipe. Grab a ladder.
2012 Volcom PBRJ – Powder Ridge
If you’ve never gone to a Volcom PBRJ contest, you should. Powder Ridge Ski Resort in Kimball, MN has been hosting the Volcom PBRJ comp for about 100 years, and every year the level of technical tricks and over-stokedness sky rockets.
The groms Benny Milam, Noah Fleming, and Garrett McKenzie absolutely murdered it. Vanessa Moore came out on top of the women’s field. Mitch Kirby came halfway across the county to grab second in the open division, and Colin Wilson turned into a wrecking ball and destroyed the competition.
Don’t miss the Volcom PBRJ next year because it will blow your socks off! Read More

When you think of “Iran” a few words come to mind, oil, deserts, terrorist, lack of women’s rights and maybe even nuclear weapons. One thing that almost never comes to mind is world class snowboarding. With around 20 resorts Iran has a lot to offer the discerning skier or snowboarder. Despite the myths Iran is pretty safe for tourism, it’s affordable, street crime is low, the food is good and you can even drink the water (take that South America).
Two of Iran’s biggest resorts are Shemshak and Dizin both located in the Alborz Mountains range just outside of Tehran. Where House Team Rider Gabi Viteri and Olympian Hanna Teter will be headed to film “Boarders Without Border”.
“Boarders Without Boarders” is a documentary that will follow three snowboarders on an Iranian adventure, where they will share their passions for snowboarding with the locals.
Hannah Teter & Gabi Viteri Talk Iran | “Boarders Without Borders” is a feature-length documentary following three professional snowboarders on a journey to the little known yet world-class mountains of Iran..
