Because, you know. Of course we all need the THPS 3+4 reboot. Plus, you can play it on a PS4. Still. Plus, Rayssa Leal, Chloe Covell, Jamie Foy, Zion Wright and Yuto Horigome. . . but reportedly no Bam Margera. Huh? Still haven’t played the 1+2 reboot all that much. Oh well. Guess we’ll be able to wait until the alleged release in July 2025.
It was Pat “The Eye” Bridges who introduced the North American snowboard world to “The Dingo,” so no one could say it better. We’ll all miss you, Dingo.
You know, ’cause we all could use a little more chaos and violence (and Nicolas Cage) in our lives. . . and yeah, getting some Peter WeirThe Cars That Ate Paris Ozploitation vibes for sure.
Shaun White and friends, who seem to believe people will pay to stand out in the cold to watch the first The Snow League halfpipe contest at Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen, Colorado March 7-8, 2025, have released ticket prices.
The listed price for finals day is $50. Sounds steep, right? There’s a catch. . . if you live in Colorado (which means pretty much everyone who might go) you get half off the ticket price. So it’s actually $25.
Saturday March 8 – Finals Day (9 a.m. – 3 p.m.) – includes Big Boi Concert
General Admission tickets are $50 ($60 on March 1) – Colorado Residents can save 50% on tickets by using code CO50 on General Admission tickets. Offer expires March 1.
They claim prices will go up on March 1, however, we’re guessing they’re get down pretty close to FREE by the time the event rolls around. If you’re interested (Big Boi will be there), and you want to go, click the link for all the ticket details.

It’s hard to keep up with the houses Shaun White is buying, but the one’s he’s selling are a little easier to track. This one, described as a “mid-century modern. . . stunner” in Los Angeles’ Outpost Estates neighborhood just sold for $3.9 million, according to a story on Realtor.com. This is down considerably from his April asking price of $5 million. What’s a million among friends. . .
…the light-filled home is lined with glass—from floor to ceiling, from walls to doors. . . The living and dining spaces are open to the kitchen, which features an L-shaped counter, wooden cabinets, and stainless-steel appliances. . . Outside, there’s an inviting pool, a fire pit, and seating areas. But it’s the views of the city that truly take the cake.
Click the link for the photos. Someone, obviously got a pretty good deal and it makes us wonder. . . why does Shaun need the money? Is it that coming halfpipe league property? Or is he just having a little fun moving his money around. We ask the questions, but do we care? That is the biggest question of all.
