While we still don’t believe we’ve ever seen anyone under 45 using an iPad in the wild (fie to you obnoxious moms using iPads to snap photos of your kids at the beach), apparently Vans has. Why else would they put the time and effort into creating their new Off the Wall TV iPad app? Here’s what they say about it:
Off the Wall TV iPad app, delivers Vans’ offthewall.tv video network of exclusive, original action sports, music, art and street culture programming to millions of iPad users around the world. . . [users are] now able to enjoy offthewall.tv anywhere with the easy to use app.
The app (which is free in the iTunes store) features all the content from the offthewall.tv website. So, the next time you’re over at you aunt’s house, grab her iPad and load this thing up. It’s probably pretty cool. Not that we’d know.
These may be the sweetest smelling googles on the planet thanks to a collab between Spy and European perfume and beauty products company Les Ettes. Founder Carmela Fleury is pretty happy with these googles.
“I was super excited to work with SPY on these goggles,” says Carmela Fleury, founder of Les Ettes “We always try to add a bit of fun into our product collaborations and this was no different. I love the way they turned out, especially the Trevor with the sunglass arm patches.”
The Bias, which is a sleek, low-profile frame isn’t the only Les Ettes strapped frame. Guys who are into Les Ettes can get in the game too with a Les Ettes Spy Trevor. For all the details follow the jump. [click to continue…]

Eddie Wall and Peter Line will be premiering their newest snowboard film The Peddie Files at Vestal Headquarters in Costa Mesa, California on Friday evening, October 14, 2011 at 8 PM. But don’t come expecting a video filled with naked children. No, no, no. This is a snowboard video. Sure, they could have just called their movie Walline, but then we wouldn’t have gotten all this Google search traffic.
We know that Burton doesn’t like to think of its B brands as anything but A, however, when they announce that John Jackson is now riding for Burton it becomes kind of obvious which brand is numero uno.
“It’s rad to be a part of such an insane company and team who’ve paved the way in snowboarding since the beginning,” said John Jackson. “I can’t wait for the snow to fly to test out some new gear and let ‘er rip. It’s an honor.”
Welcome to the big leagues, Mr. Jackson. We’re surprised it took them so long.

Last night (September 29, 2011) Forum Snowboards premiered their new film Vacation for anyone who wanted to show up at the Huntington Beach, California pier. By 8:30 PM close to 400 people had arrived to get autographs from the Forum team, grab a free energy drink, or just kick back and watch the film.
Without going into too much detail we’ll just say this: Vacation is a good ride. Funny bits, strong riding, and a banging big mountain closer from Pat Moore.
All we can say about this Break The Bankvideo teaser from filmmaker Justin Dersham is that this is the only time we’ve ever watched a mountainboarding edit and thought for a moment, “Hey, this doesn’t look so bad.” But then they started riding them on the street and. . . we realized how wrong we were.

We’re going to officially add Snowboarder Magazine’s Pat Bridges to the list of snowboarders who can act better than they ride. This new Nike Snowboarding parody of the old Bo Knows campaigns (“Danny Don’t Know”) proves it once and for all. We’re still laughing just thinking about how nice it must be for Mr. Bridges to get checks from both Source Interlink and Nike at the same time.
Proving that stadium rock action sporting is still not dead in Europe Zurich’s Freestyle.CH packed in 32,000 people on September 22-23, 2011 for a multisport hucking contest (featured here is snowboard semi-finals action).
