As Skate & Annoy’s Kilwag pointed out today, Justin Bieber the “prepubescent pop star” can ollie higher than he can. We agree. But what he failed to point out is that Bieber also has impeccable taste in footwear. . .
Volcom used to be all about youth against establishment, but with this North American Volcom Tour 2010 lineup they appear to be much more about middle-aged heavy metal hair bears. . .

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.
Like vultures feeding on the pop music dead it seems the super-groups just keep coming. This time it’s Midnight Oil’s Rob Hirst, Jim Moginie and Martin Rotsey and bass player Brian Ritchie of Violent Femmes who are kicking off a psycho ’surf rock band’ called The Break, according to a story on Beatcave.
The foursome releases its debut album, Church Of The Open Sky, on April 16th via the Bombora label. . . The band’s official website already features a new song, “Cylinders,” which they describe as having “maximum surf and twang, sturm and drang.” The song is actually the first single and will be available Feb. 9 via iTunes. . . With 15 tracks, each named after legendary surf breaks, the music is definitely exciting, a nice blend of surf-guitar rock, but with a modern twist – maybe even a hint of the Oils in there as well.
Sounds a little like Devo’s p-twang band The Wipeouters to us, but it’s all good.
Pharrell is looking all winterfresh these days with some Nike Danny Kass snowboots and his newly designed chair that looks to have borrowed some design stylings from a Kassbohrer PistenBully. What now, the Billionaire Snowboys Club?
Aspen still draws the celebrities for Christmas. If it’s not Charlie Sheen getting arrested for allegedly swinging a knife around the house, it’s country singer LeAnn Rimes snowboarding with her boyfriend Eddie Cibrian, according to JustJared.com.
Eddie, 36, and LeAnn, 27, are spending more time together out in public after a divorce settlement was reached with LeAnn’s ex-husband, Dean Sheremet. The divorce will officially occur as of June 19, 2010.
That is so good to hear. . . Snowboarding needs more rich divorcees.
This song by The Rad Dudes is one of the hookiest Christmas songs you will ever hear. That’s probably why it has become an annual tradition around here. Happy Holidays. . .
