Brain Farm Update

The park shoot for Travis Rice's new flick got off to a rough start. Before the heli was filming, Seb broke his ankle on a 'warm up' double back rodeo. They still sessioned, and will continue shooting this week, and some tricks were landed that may or may not rhyme with 'ripple'

Jordan Morse Anyone??

This kid is always making jaws drop, doing things on that thing we call a snowboard and making it look easy! Here is his footy for the 2011 season.. to say the least it's pretty darn amazing!

Strait Up Stealing Blogs

Since nothing worthy of reporting goes on in Idaho around this time, I'm putting all of my blogging efforts toward becoming the most notorious blog-stealer out there. Today, I've chosen a great post from ESPN's (or should I say EXPN) snowboard blog following Travis Rice, Scott (no-y) Lago, and Frends at their private shoot in Aspen.

A few good photos and a quick preview is all that's shown for today, but expect updates throughout the week if any crazy new quad corks go down because Toots, McMore and Willet just joined the party.

Lago has my vote for the most well rounded snowboarder on earth, right meow.

And if you STILL haven't seen the teaser for 'The Art of Flight' here it is. If you have seen it, watch it again-YOU WONT!

Mitch Heberer

Our homie Mitch is young and killing it on his snowboard! This year Mitch moved out to Utah to dabble his feet into some of what the Wild Wild West has to offer.. and it seems as if Mitch took full advantage of all there was to be offered. Here is his video part for the 10/11 season.. also some of the shots will be in our very own video .. "Hit the Lights"

Board Fixin' Season

It's the end of the regular season, and with that comes broken boards, shattered egos, and the coming of summer snowboarding. So before I make my way out to Oregon, I started on a few projects to fix up some boards that I beat up during the season.

Board #1
DC wood core prototype 153
Loved it, and it saved my life. Took a hard fall on a handrail-caught on a 270, landed on my neck on the rail, hit stairs, hit the other rail, and ended up at the bottom in a daze. I was fine, but the board took the hardest impact and was un-rideable as you can see.

I tried to hammer it back in, but it wasn't going anywhere and ended up as some dorm room art for the rest of the season. Once I got home, it was time for a fixin'

After pulling the edge out and tweaking it back to shape, we hammered it into the core and with some help from gorilla glue and these vice grips, it set in nicely. 

Fixed! Board is now ready to ride again with some minor defects.

Vice grips are really strong, check out those new dents.

Board #2

DC Tone 149

Verdict: Edge broke while hitting a knobbed rail. Edge was completely ripped out while firecracking said rail's stairs.

The chunk was big enough to scare me away from using the board any longer this season. But besides this and the base damage from stair rides, the board is fine.

P-Tex to the rescue. First, I dulled the edge around the breaks to make it less catchy. Then with a razorblade I shaved off the bump from the compressed edge to get it as smooth as possible. Finally I went to The Nayborhood where the owner Chris had some P-Tex sticks and we filled in the core shot. Thanks Chris!

2 boards fixed and ready for summer shredding.

Holla Atcha Blog

My buddy Jason Parry is a becoming quite the entrepreneur these days. Working full time for Skullcandy as a graphic designer, starting his clothing company Gether, and now a graphic design website and blog; the dude has little time for play, but he spends his free time slaughtering SLC skateparks like it ain't no thang.

Anyway, here's a video of Nike SB that I stole from his blog. Check it out HERE.
