ASR Live’s Jim Shubin (the new VP of Sales for True Love and False Idols) and ASR’s Group Vice President Andy Thompkins cruise the isle of the ASR Access Show and offer up a sneak peek. The one question we have (albeit rhetorical) is: where did the ASR Show go?

Capita Snowboard’s celebrated their 10th year anniversary at the Denver SIA Show on January 31, 2010. Luckily for us, the Tahoe Dangerzone was there to get it all down on video. . .

On Friday night January 29, 2010 after the Transworld Riders’ Poll we cruised out to the wasteland below the bridges to Mile High Station for the RZA show sponsored by Snowboard Magazine. As noted in the comments, we apparently only caught the Wiz Khalifa portion of the show and don’t feel bad about it at all.
And to think, some dude in this could would later get arrested for punching a girl in the face and police would reportedly find him armed with both a knife and a gun. . . yep. Denver.

Union Binding, Coal Headwear, and Snowboard Magazine graphic designer Aaron Draplin has become one of the most influential designers working today. Last year, when the Obama administration wanted a graphic that would communicate their economic stimulus plans they turned to Aaron to create the logo. The president eventually presented Aaron’s work to the nation himself.
Recently Aaron has been on the national speaking circuit with the AIGA sharing his story with design students and professionals. But the reason more and more people are becoming Draplin fans is through his Field Notes Brand Notebooks. The simple, “paper, folded and stapled books made in America” is replacing the Moleskine as the world’s hippest analog note taking device. We saw Mr. Draplin near the Coal booth and asked him to tell us the Field Notes story.

We covered the Legends of Tahoe last March, but Powder & Rails is doing it in much more depth. Here it is (all 24 minutes of it) from Donner Ski Ranch. It almost makes us weep. . .

NorCal skate legend John Cardiel takes In The CUTTS on a tour of Sacramento skate spots. His 2004 injury in Australia has not slowed him down one bit as is obvious in this interview. He can’t skate the way he used to, but he rolls a fixie better than most.

Thanks to help from friends all over the world, 411vm founder Josh Friedberg won the $25,000 Audience Award in the Nikon Festival for his video New York State Of Mind.
The Nikon Festival Audience Award winner is San Antonio resident Joshua Friedberg. He will receive $25,000 as the top fan favorite for his video “New York State of Mind.” The video captured twenty four hours in New York, featuring renowned locations. “I got into video through skateboarding and learned how to shoot by just doing it,” said Joshua Friedberg, Nikon Festival Audience Award Winner. “That’s part of why I think the Nikon Festival is such a great event, it motivated people to be creative and get out there and shoot.” . . . He credits retweets of his Festival video via Twitter by media personalities Bam Margera, Steve Berra and Tony Hawk as a key to his win. Friedberg plans to use the $25,000 to help revive 411 Video Magazine that covers the skateboarding community.
Way for the skate community to pull together. Hope 411vm can climb back on. Follow the jump for all the details.

We always thought Subaru’s were kind of cool, but apparently Ford stepped up and offered DC Shoes co-founder Ken Block a better ride in a Festiva. We’re guessing this Festiva is like no Festiva we’ll ever drive. Ken will be driving it in the Sno-Drift rally this weekend in Atlanta, Michigan.
The upcoming rally, Sno-Drift, has not been Block’s best race over the years and therefore the expectations isn’t that high. The main thing is that Block reach the finish line which isn’t an easy task with the aggressive driving style Block has. The goal throughout the season is a completely different thing. . . “The goal is off course that Ken Block wins Rally America but for us it’s also a good opportunity to show the world what Swedish engineering stands for,” added Eriksson.
We wish Ken the best. We’ll see what happens. More images of the Sno Drift 43 after the jump.
