It’s the kind of online solution that someone who’s never been online would come up with, and we’re guessing a lot of marketing directors are going to think it’s cool: today Onboard released a North American edition of their publication, but rather than printing and shipping it (which costs way too much these days), they’re using an modified .PDF viewer called Ceros to put it online in digital magazine form. That’s right, full spread, full bleeds, and you have to click in the lower corner of the pages to “turn the page.” Get it? And the pages have video. It’s like a digital magazine circa 1996.
Ignoring the fact that this is a ten-year-old techonology, it is a completely annoying interface. That said, the content is actually okay: great photos, solid video, and a few clever bits of writing (thanks the editorial skills and deep snowboard knowledge of Dave Sypniewski). Best of all, it’s free. If they’d simply put it on a proper website we’d say that it was a great addition to world snowboarding media. But they didn’t, so we can’t.

Coogan Kelly, a 21-year-old snowboarder from Truckee was one of three people shot and killed (along with two other people) at a private halloween party at a home at 3125 Heatheridge Lane in Reno, early Sunday morning.
Reno police investigators say the shooting broke out on a crowded dance floor at a private party. . . Van Ruiten [Coogan’s girlfriend] said shoving by the dancers turned into a fight, and she was separated from Kelly before the shooting occurred.
Kelly was sponsored by Totally Board, Adidas, and Ride Snowboards. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

So who does Lindsay Lohan meet in her Utah “re-hab” facility? A guy known only as “Riley Giles: snowboarder.” He claims to have competed in the X Games. Ever heard of him?

When Will Farrell launched the site funnyordie.com with his writing partner Adam McKay they launched it on the popularity of one viral video: The Landlord. A skit in which Adam’s two-year-old daughter Pearl played Will’s landlord come to collect late rent. It was inspired comedy and the site got massive amounts of traffic. Obviously the brand name celebrity and the quality content added up to success in the short term.
Now Farrell and McKay have taken the same idea to action sports and launched Shredordie.com with the help of celebrity action sportsman Tony Hawk and some scraps of video left over from his production company 900 Films. What the site ends up looking like is, well, left over footage from 900 Films. We’re sure it will get better over time, but really, Tony, is this what you want to pin your Internet hopes on?

Yep. If you’re a snowboard shop in Chicago and you sell Burton product get ready to be put in the submission hold until you tap out. Burton will do retail better than you do. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

It didn’t look that big to us, however, according to ASR official the fall 2007 Show in San Diego was big. Some said it was due to the new “moto” section, but we’re not sure. Follow the jump for the entire press release.

We saw Jake Burton in those American Express ads where he was going to snowboard 100 days a year and pay for it all with his AmEx card, then we caught him in ads for the Wall Street Journal, you know the paper Jake reads when he wants to be an industry titan, and now HP is using Jake to help you start your own business with templates and designs that are downloadable and printable (and some very cool behind the scenes at Burton content as well). His ads were all over CNN/Money site today. We lined some up, but honestly, they’re pretty sucky. They might be good enough to fool the Media Center at the ASR Show and for that it’s probably worth checking out.
