One of the greatest days of snowboarding in my life was in 1993 at the Snowrider Classic; the sun was shining, the snow was soft, and everyone had huge smiles on their faces. If you love snowboarding, music, prizes and smiles, make sure to attend the 2012 Snowrider Classic presented by The Youth Shelter Supply at Powder Ridge Ski Area in Kimball, MN.
When the Carlsbad High School was built in 1957 no one thought the eleven step stair set on the Southern side of the campus would become one of the world’s most challenging and recognizable skate spots. In 2006 the Carlsbad Unified School District approved a decision to demolish the school in order to build a new school. It wasn’t until 2008 that rumors drifted around within the skateboarding community about the Carlsbad Gap demolition. Fast forward to Thursday February 23rd, 2012 and a skateboarding landmark has its last day. How long will it be before a skate plaza duplicates the Carlsbad Gap? Read More

Kaitlyn Farrington – USSA Grand Prix Series Champion
Kaitlyn Farrington, a House team rider, is good at many things, two of which are snowboarding and winning money. On Saturday March 4th, 2012 at the USSA Mammoth Mountain Grand Prix Kaitlyn did both at the same time.
It really is lovely to see someone working creatively to thwart the planet’s manmade problems Although the actual geographic location of this particular effort isn’t exactly in our own Minnesota backyard, ironically its still essentially in everyones backyard; the good ol’, sweet home, ever-loving, temperamental, hurricane spittin’, turbo-beyatch Mother Earth.
Sergei Zimov is the name of our gassy hero. ”Sometimes ya gotta stab ‘er repeatedly before she nearly blows your face off with a prehistoric fart!” says Mr. Zimov, whilst repeatedly jamming a metal rod into a defenseless, watery hole. Okay, he never said that, but I like to imagine him saying clever things like regularly. Just seems to fit with the grizzly, haggard beard.
What he does say, which you’ll no doubt discover after watching the video, is that his first documented utterance in the clip is one of the most profound and Earth-shattering statements yet made by a modern scientist… “This is ice.” Absolutely remarkable, folks.
Furthermore, the narrator in this film, although eloquently spoken, is conclusively a freedom-hating terrorist as he casually explains the melting permafrost in Chersky, Siberia as a result of “global warming.” Right when you think we’re past all the silly claims that the Earth is gradually warming due to manmade pollution and ozone depletion, someone comes along and says the Earth must be gradually warming due to manmade pollution and ozone depletion. How absurd. Case in point: Minnesota this winter.
Enjoy this film friends, no matter how riddled with seemingly sensical claims, evidence-based information, and admirable scientific deeds. Challenge question: Have YOU ever lit one of your own Earth-Shattering farts on fire? If so, tell us the story! Peace and Love.

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
