From now until the end of January snowboarders with a season pass to any resort in California can show it at a Mountain High ticket window and get a lift ticket for only $25. Anytime. Sounds like one more reason for SoCal snowboards to say home the next few weeks and brush up on their acting. . .

Mammoth Mountain has chiseled out a section of their website specifically for the park shred crowd. Called Mammoth Unbound (just like the terrain parks) the new “website” kicks down all the info on the parks, parties, and place to be both on and off the snow. Or, as Mammoth Mountain marketing says:
The dork box you’re staring at just got a whole lot cooler with the official launch of MammothUnbound.com. This all-new site contains everything skiers and snowboarders need to know about Mammoth, via a stunning new interface. . MammothUnbound.com is built largely around imagery. The stunning photos come from photographer Peter Morning, who last season was tasked with compiling a library of alluring images large enough to support an entirely new web site.
Now, if only this new website could magically coat the mountain in a blanket of real, deep, fresh snow then it would really be something. [click to continue…]

On January 17, 2012 Goggle/Youtube’s latest attempt at channeling quality content to high paying advertisers will launch across the web.
In the action space we have The Ride Channel from Tony Hawk Inc. (above), Network A, a joint venture between Wasserman Media Group and a company called Bedrocket, and then there is The Red Bull Channel which will likely feature a collection of all those “wild, crazy, unbelievable” videos your grandparents are constantly forwarding to you from Red Bull Media House.
Each channel was reportedly given $1 million against a share of future advertising earnings. Not exactly bubble money, but not that bad either. Without going to deeply into the logic right now, we’ll just say that we’re not exactly bullish on the whole old-media “network channel” concept. We are, however, looking forward to The Weekend Buzz featuring Rob Brink and Erica Yary. It will be on The Ride Channel and it looks good.

Stacy Peralta’s newest autobiographic film Bones Brigade will have its west coast premiere at the 26th Annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Thursday, February 2, 2012 at 8 PM. (Those who attend the Sundance Film Festival will get to see it a week earlier. There are still tickets)
Tommy Guerrero, Steve Caballero, Rodney Mullen, Lance Mountain, Mike McGill, Stacy Peralta and George Powell have all confirmed their attendance. A Q & A will follow the film. Unfortunately, Tony Hawk will be out of the country and will not be able to attend.
As if Tony not being there weren’t’ enough, there’s another rub: tickets are only available through the Santa Barbara Film Festival via passes or Mini-Packs. The cheapest is a 4-pack for $57. Team up because one 4-pack can be used for four people to one film. Red carpet begins at 7 PM, film at 8. Seating is on a first-come, first served basis meaning get there early if you want to see it this. Follow the jump for the rest of the details. [click to continue…]

After a stellar opening party Saturday, January 7, 2012 at the LA HUF store product from the collaboration between HUF, DLX, and the Japanese wood sculptor Haroshi is finally dropping.
Haroshi is a self taught artist born in 1978 and currently based out of Tokyo, Japan. Combining years of experience as a jewelry craftsman with his long-time passion for skateboarding, Haroshi has developed a unique ability to salvage and hand-carve stacks of used skateboard decks into extraordinary three-dimensional wooden sculptures. Juxtaposing the rough, worn rails of the used decks with the polished forms of their finished product, Haroshi demonstrates and uncanny capability to create beauty out of destruction.
Click the link for a closer look at the t-shirts, snapbacks, sweats, shoes, wheels, and DLX decks that are part of this stunning collab.
