The boys from Knife Show compile it up from Volume 2. All this video wizardry in one place. In this case we actually prefer the video tricks to the snowboarding.

Danny Kass and The Dingo doing a little promo for Aaron Levant’s snowboarding Agenda January 6 & 7, 2011 in Anaheim. Apparently, there will be no skiing allowed (which is always nice).

According to a report released by the Magazine Publishers of America magazine advertising pages during the third quarter (July to September 2010) were up 3.6 percent over the same period last year. The biggest gains were in the retail category where pages were up 7.2 percent and revenue was up 13.1 percent.
As we do most quarters we’ve checked in with the only action sports magazines followed in the Publisher Information Bureau (Bonnier Corporation’s Transworld Media) and see that things are mostly looking up. In fact Q3 looked great for all the titles aside from Skateboarding and Wakeboarding:
2010 2009 % Change TRANSWORLD SNOWBOARDING 221.34 173.67 27.45 TRANSWORLD MOTOCROSS 256.26 220.08 16.44 TRANSWORLD SURF 278.42 244.34 13.95 RIDE BMX 152.59 148.36 2.85 TRANSWORLD SKATEBOARDING 296.04 337.05 -12.17 WAKEBOARDING 93.67 116.83 -19.82
Maybe those iPad magazine apps were just digital overkill. To see how the rest of the magazine world stacked up click here.

Weezy appears to be doing his part for the action sports economy with few references dropped in his song Bill Gates from the I Am Not A Human Being album.
Vans, Tony Hawk, and Shaun White all get props. Here are just a few select rhymes from different verses:
“Skinny ass pants, Fresh pair of Vans, If you n-ggas keep trippin’ n-gga share an ambulance”
“All day I do it, I do it like Tony, Got a sign on my dick that say “bad bitches only””
“Dress like a skater, ride on you like Shaun White, I’m high all day, you can call that shit a long flight”
Ride on you like Shaun White? What does that even mean? Click here for the entire song (and lyrics).

Not really sure why a snowboarder who is most accustom to racing down a fence-lined course would need a two-piece GPS unit with satellite texting capabilities, but that hasn’t stopped snowboardrcross double gold medalist Seth Wescott from stepping up as the new face of the Earthmate PN-60w with SPOT Satellite Communicator from DeLorme.
Among the plans for Wescott include his appearance as part of Team DeLorme at the upcoming 2011 Consumer Electronics Show, where he will discuss the many benefits of leading a healthy and active lifestyle and share his experiences as an outdoors enthusiast who uses a variety of technology. Wescott will also appear in a new DeLorme print advertising campaign scheduled for early 2011.
If you get any strange text messages from Seth this winter you’ll know why. Follow the jump for the complete details.

We haven’t heard from former pro snowboarder (and “core sport marketing consultant”) Kris Jamieson for years and then out of nowhere he appears pitching the “newest innovation for your iPhone.” It’s called the Audioglove from Fadigear.
It’s an advanced case that actually increases your iPhone’s volume by 12 decibels (that’s a lot!). Get your order in now and we’ll ship you the first edition Audioglove with the JustUs logo.
The company reportedly has new Audioglove designs coming from Sage Bolyard, Cara-Beth Burnside, Kim Peterson, Dave Duncan and 10 designs from Pearl Jam. Yeah, guess all the elderly skaters need a little more volume and it’s much easier to carry around than this.

This Nike 6.0 D-Pad Session video is pretty enough from a filmmaking standpoint, not to mention the snowboarding. At least that’s what we thought when posted it.

Vail Resorts announced yesterday that it has purchased Northstar-At-Tahoe from Booth Creek Resort Properties LLC, according to a story in the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Broomfield, Colo.-based ski company acquired the stock of the companies that operate Northstar-at-Tahoe from Booth Creek Resort Properties LLC and other sellers. . . Vail Resorts will lease the land on which the resort operates from CNL Lifestyle Properties Inc. . . Booth Creek CEO George Gillett, Chief Operating Officer Chris Ryman and Chief Financial Officer Betsy Cole will no longer have management positions at Northstar, and Vail Resorts is seeking a new general manager for the resort.
This means snowboarders who have the Vail Epic Pass will also get to ride Heavenly, Northstar-at-Tahoe and Sierra-at-Tahoe in addition to the companies Colorado resorts. . . not a bad deal, actually.

The Swatch TTR TV show investigates exactly what “style” means in terms of snowboarding. It is a question that will probably never be answered, but as usual, we know it when we see it. What is most interesting is that the word “gay” seems to be alive and well in describing snowboarding that sucks.
