Airlines are hard on things—bags especially. Burton’s Wheelie Flight Deck is made to get your gear home and back in one piece. The well thought out, bulletproof airline approved carry-on rolls smooth thanks to Burton’s skate-style IXION wheels and features a removable laptop bag perfect for grabbing some last minute in-flight entertainment.
Available in six color ways including a True Black style, this bag should be in everyone’s travel quiver whether they’re taking their first trip or on their 50th cruise.
We’ve been rocking an older version of this bag for years, gone thousands of miles and it’s still rolling, but this year’s Bombay Block Party print (right) has thinking about an upgrade.
The Wheelie Flight Deck retails for $219.95. We recommend that you click to buy.
For the 2012-13 season Rome Snowboards will be filming and producing monthly films for each month of the year beginning with November.
For the next twelve months, we’ll create and release a monthly film about some aspect of snowboarding that we are into. Different spots. Different riders. Different fixations. It’s a format that gives us the freedom to do whatever we want. . . The different months of the year open unique opportunities for different types of snowboarding. Sometimes we’ll probably slow shit down for mellow good times; sometimes we’ll ramp shit up with hammers—whatever we feel like doing that month. Pros, ams, regional kids, homies and assorted riders in the SDS will come along for the ride. Basically, if it feels good, we’ll do it.
That’s a nice way to get the crew to create some month web content, huh? Follow the jump for the official word. [click to continue…]

“We worked closely with the crew at Herschel Supply Co. to create two collaborative goggles that are as technical as they are timeless,” says Brent Sandor, SPY brand manager. “Dreaming up one of the cleanest design details we’ve ever seen—a pop of Herschel Supply Co.’s signature red on the lens groove of the goggle—this frame is visually distinct from anything else out there. They also built a bag that’s as unique as it is functional. Only Jamie [Cormack] and the crew at Herschel Supply Co. would have put this much thought into every aspect.”
The Platoon retails for $159.95 and the Marshall is just $129.95. Follow the jump for the official word. [click to continue…]
