Volcom’s #IP2 Gets Down With Daniel Brown

by The Editors on September 6, 2012

Volcom Snow is letting the kids do their own video parts with #IP2. And this is Daniel Brown’s turn. Here’s what VeeCo says about the project:

IP2 stands for “Individually Produced Parts” . Whereas, each rider has 100% control of the direction, action and content collected to produce their own part for Volcom’s 2012 Snow project. We identified the riding characteristics of our team, matched them up with a videographer and gave them the green light. We are excited to share their personalities, travel experiences and shit they pulled off this past season.

In addition to hitting the streets pretty hard, it appears that Mr. Brown also has a serious appreciation for hip-hop, weed and tittiies.

New NewEvery single company that makes snowboards and/or snowboard products now appears proud to announce the launch of their New 2012/13 lines of products. It’s all new, all great, and all up for viewing online.

Burton 13: The Jussi Oksanen View

by The Editors on September 4, 2012

Jussi Oksanen tells his side of the snowboarding movie making business in Burton 13: The Fourth Trailer.

Everybody is always helping each other and making sure, if I get a shot then I’m just going to chill and help Mikey get his shot. That’s far more important than me getting five shots on one jump. If you get shots, obviously it’s going to make you feel better, but a long as somebody is getting rad shots, that’s what it’s all about.

Yep.

Mammoth Mountain Opening November 8

by The Editors on August 29, 2012

GuoWe don’t exactly want to accuse Mammoth Mountain of jumping the gun a little on winter, but today they announced that opening day will be November 8, 2012 no matter what.

Nighttime temperatures continue to drop at Mammoth Mountain, and the lingering chill every morning can only mean one thing- Opening Day is right around the corner! Time to dust off the . . . boards, because the lifts start running on November 8!

We can guarantee that it doesn’t look like this at Mammoth now, but come November there will certainly be enough snow to slide on (white ribbon of . . . ). Mark you calendars, book a bargain room, and be shred ready.
