More snow shred action from Rip Curl, Absinthe Films, and Victor De Le Rue.
Victor DE LE RUE is an amazing rider who raised his riding skills to another level last season. Riding steep icy lines, massive kickers in the BC or simply playing with natural terrain in Alaska, Victor can do it all.
Yes, it appears that he can.

We’re always interested in people’s side project (wonder why?). And snow photographer Oli Gagnon has a great one–drumming in the “doom metal” band Hoopsnake. This is their first music video titled Curse of the White Widow. It has all the key elements: heavy bass, banging drums, strangulation, decapitation, masturbation, amputation, cannibalism, and a zombie. But we don’t want to ruin it for you. Just watch it. For an interview with Gagnon click the link.

The West is currently getting pummeled by its first real winter storm of the 14-15 season and the snow is beginning to pile up (we know, everyone else already got theirs). So as a reminder for what it’s going to be like tomorrow morning, here’s a little taste of the Canadian Chronicles with Zeal Optics riders Andrew Burns, Craig Beaulieu and Jake Bauer.

For years we’ve been trying to figure out downhill skateboarding, and now, thanks to Arbor Skateboards’ and Caliber Trucks’ new full-length film Grade it’s beginning to make much more sense. Or, in all honest, less sense, as in these guys will scare you senseless with their non-stop hill bombing.
Tag along with James Kelly, Liam Morgan, Tyler Howell, Brandon Tissen, and Jordan Riachi as they travel to some of the most critical and challenging roads in the world. GRADE was filmed on location in Mexico, Hawaii, Northern Sierras, Laguna Beach, Australia, and Switzerland.
Sheesh. The whole film is here, watch it.

Something about this hilarious ditty from The Moopets reminds us of what over-commercialization has done to many players in the industry. And we just can’t get it out of our heads. You’re welcome.

Danny Davis’ 44-minute snowboarding film Peace Park will be airing on ABC on Sunday November 30, 2014 at 11 AM PST.
“Peace Park is all about bringing the soul back into snowboarding,” comments Davis. “I’m really stoked that my sponsors believe in me and continue to support my vision of keeping snowboarding fun and creative. This year’s Peace Park is different than any other, offering something for every style of snowboarder to ride. We had riders from all around the world show up!”
After the NBC premiere you’ll be able to watch the whole thing again on the Youtube channel of a certain mouse dissolving (but soon no longer flame retarding) caffeinated, carbonated, high fructose corn syrup product marketed as a drink. But please, don’t put that stuff in your body no matter how cool Mr. Davis makes it look.
For most of the official word from Burton, follow the jump. [click to continue…]

Scion has created a new touring vehicle (party van) for Riley Hawk. It’s got a load of retro flavor including a working 8-Track stereo and full shag carpet and looks to be a one-of-a-kind xB for certain, according to a story on Carbuzz.com. Kind of makes us want to blast a little Nebula just to get in the mood.
