Is it possible to ride a hand hewn slab of pine wood in a derby? Signal Snowboard’s Dave Lee make the impossible possible in this season’s final episode of Every Third Thursday.
[Pinewood side note: if you’re into real pinewood derby racing and happen to be in Portland, Oregon Friday, June 7, 2013 sign up for Nemo Design’s Pinewood Derby races.]
Watch as time runs out and we decide to stitch together a new idea for top honors designer Kelly Knaggs for her runway debut, then give it to Manu Dominguez and Pat Garvin to shred and prove we didn’t just use safety pins and double sided tape. Sew, what are you waiting for?
Want to know the future of building objects? In The Diamond Age futurist novelist Neal Stephenson outlines “the feed” from which citizens can create anything they want for free. We’re not there yet, but that hasn’t stopped Signal Snowboards from creating the world’s first 3D printed snowboard in this month’s Every Third Thursday. Check it out.
The snowboard crafting wizards at Signal Snowboards decided that for this Every Third Thursday they were going to make work some noncents with pennies. Not as in Penny Skateboards. But as in pennies, you know, like from heaven. This snowboard is so money and it doesn’t even know it.
For this month’s Every Third Thursday the Signal Snowboards crew clicked deeply into the Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 world to deliver a “bona-fide bulletproof Snowboard.” You know, for the times you’re caught in the crossfire and you need a little cover. We haven’t seen this much blood in a snowboard edit since RedSnow.
This episode without a doubt will lure you in and make you smile as we tackle our first build of the season combining Abel fly reels and Signal snowboards for the ultimate catch and release adventure on the Mt. Hood glacier with pro snowboarder Kazu Kokubo and Yusaku Horii!
This also marks the beginning of a new partnership between Signal Snowboards and the Network A Youtube channel. For more on that, follow the jump. [click to continue…]
Every third Thursday, Signal Snowboards put together a wacky snowboard just to show they can. This month they’ve created the iShred. An aluminum based snowboard in memory of Steven P. Jobs.
Each time we link up a Signal Every Third Thursday video we swear it’s going to be our last one, but Dave Lee and the crew keep coming up with the goods.
This month Paul Schmitt and Terry Kidwell build an original horizontal lam Kidwell Model–just like back in the day. Mike Ranquet even makes a guest appearance.
Is it possible to build a snowboard in a garage? Sure. Especially if it’s Paul Schmitt’s.
