Helping Those In Need

Hey guys I just wanted to share with you some rad info that you might not have known. Zion Snowboards is company out of BC Canada and they have been killing it for years! Just recently, Ryan Paul, one of their main riders won the Hot Dawgs and Handrails contest down in Bear Mtn. So, basically, what I am saying is that Zion Snowboards is on the come up and not only are they really rad and make a solid product, they also like to provide positive attitudes and help out those that are less fortunate than others.

Zion has created a program that they call "POP" (People Of the Planet), in order to help out others who are in desperate need for help. As of now Zion has partnered up with the Ratanak Foundation in order to help fight against and put a stop to the Sex Trafficking that is happening in Cambodia as we speak! So with that said, 10% of Zion sales goes to helping those who are in desperate need of help! Not only is Zion snowboards blowing up in the snowboard world, but they are also making a difference in the World! And if you would like to help support their cause and need your self a new board, please go check out their website and find out how you can make a difference while at the same time shredding up and down the mountain!

Am Throwdown Mega Post

Snowboard Magazine is doing a new contest called the Am Throwdown. One filmer and one rider submit a video and 5 finalists go to Copper mtn, Colorado to film another edit and and possibly win $5000.

I submitted a video, but didn't make top 10. So first, here's my entry, followed by my favorite entries which you can vote on right HERE

My edit. Single day at Park City with Tristan Sadler filming

My favorite edit of the finalists. Sammy Spiteri filmed by our buddy Paul Heran. Sick filming and really sick riding, all of the shots are urban and all of them are from this season unlike most of the other entries. I feel like these two deserve it.

Tyler Lynch kills it in his edit, I'd call it one of the better entries.

Ricky Bates was my coach at Windells before I was hired there. Rad dude and he kills it on the board. Surprised he didn't show a double backie in there, he's gotten really good at them lately.

Never heard of this guy Forrest Burki, but he sends it in powder. Looks like new footage, and check out how big he goes off of a cliff. Gnarly!


Summary of the Contest:

Looks like most of the entries are just shortened, muted video parts from last season (and one of them is a highlight reel of the last 3 or 4 seasons). There's a lot of variety in the riding, filming, editing, and feel in each edit so make sure you vote for your top 5 who will be sent to Copper for a chance at $5000. The Copper entries will be posted in mid april and it's a similar voting system.
