The crew at Illicit Snowboarding have made us laugh many times over the past year, but with this one we nearly sprayed soup out our noses.
The other day, while we were Facebook stalking, one of our imaginary friends mused; “So far what I’ve learnt from working in Action Sports media is that the only 2 things that sell are tits and Shaun White“. Well, we’ve done tits to death, so here’s fifty pictures of snowboarding’s very own ginger. . .
Snowboarder Magazine appears to have spent most of the summer (and the spring) asking every single pro they ran into if they’ve ever spent more than 30 minutes on a sticker job. You may be surprised by some of the answers. We actually weren’t. And to answer the question: No. We never cluster our snowboards. Ever.
“The crew at Keep A Breast are innovators when it comes to incorporating health education into the lives of active people,” says Kevin Casillo, SPY marketing manager. “SPY aims to give back wherever we can, and it doesn’t get any better than partnering with a local non-profit that’s causing world-wide awareness about an issue that impacts millions every year.”

The dirty streets of Reno, Nevada is the perfect place for a premiere of the new The Bangshow video Birds of A Shitfeather. According to a post on Yobeat the complete video is showing tonight (October 12, 2012) at the Freight House. Nice to see someone in snowboarding is still keeping it dirty fresh.

Now Snowboarding, the makers of the snowboard binders on a swing, are proud to announce the addition of Canadian badass Devun Walsh to their team of “heavy hitters.”

Protect Our Winters Riders Alliance member Forrest Shearer has written an editorial appearing The Daily News regarding California’s shrinking snow pack. Here’s a little of what he has to say:
In my native state of California, boarders and skiers are bracing for the effects of a warmer world. Scientists are predicting the Sierra snowpack will decline by 25 percent by 2050. We caught a preview this past ski season, when Lake Tahoe and Squaw Valley had to make their own snow well into February. It’s no wonder the California Ski Industry Association is a big supporter of AB 32, the state’s landmark clean energy and climate law.
