Beginning tomorrow (June 2, 2011) the Frends ™ are getting together for their 2nd Annual Frendly Gathering, a three-day camping, snowboarding, and music festival at Crowley Lake Campgrounds, on the Eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Range. According to reports there will be a “corn-hole tournament,” swimming, jamming, snowboarding and whatnot.
Mammoth Mountain will be hosting the giant slalom, presented by Amp & Mountain Dew and old school highway halfpipe competitions, sponsored by Burton, at Chair 4 on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday a skate jam will be held at the Brothers Skatepark. Prizes will be awarded to who ever we feel like giving awards to. . . Thursday and Friday night music will be brought to you by DJ Modsun, DJ Pat Brown and B-Rolla and a live musical performance by the one and only Led Zepplica (the sickest Zepplin cover band), presented by Nike will be held Saturday night at Crowley Lake Campground.
Obviously, with sponsors like Mammoth Mountain, Nike, Dragon, Burton, Nixon, Billabong, and Mountain Dew, it’s not exactly a low-down roots event, but hey, it sounds like fun and the kids have to get paid right?

What is Frends? It’s good to know who your Frends are, so allow us to introduce ourselves. Frends is a crew of snowboarders, surfers, DJs, and like minded individuals who’s bond was formed on the mountains, beaches, and dive bars of the world. No one is too cool, no one is not cool enough to ride with us. Some cliques tend to block you out. You don’t get invited to their parties. They don’t let you in on all their funny inside jokes. They don’t even tell you about the best new music they’ve been hearing. We at Frends think that is lame. We want you to be our friend. We want you to join our crew. Even if you’re not flying down the mountain with us, or up late night at a dive bar singing awful karaoke renditions of “Sweet Child Of Mine” with us—you’re with us in spirit, and we’re with you. We make electronic accessories for the person who expects their gear to look good, work good, and make you feel good about being part of a brand that cares. Frends has your back (and your ears). We won’t rip you off, we won’t leave you out in the cold, and we’ll always be there for you—that’s what Frends are for. www.wearefrends.com
