Tough City Skate Comp!

Thanks to Adam Chilton for the banger video, enjoy the accolades, and Cam from CoastalBC.com for his great site (where I first saw the video).

PS: A disclaimer to the haters (well, we just have one and you know who you are). All your malevolent comments will be censored prior to being approved. We’re sorry for suppressing your rage further but we’re a family considerate company. Instead, try leaving your mom’s basement for a change and maybe you wouldn’t be so anger at the world?

CREAM

It’s hard out there for a pimp (people in my position), and Wu Tang got it right: “cash rules everything around me.” Unfortunately, the economic-downturn left me with baggy pants, an addiction to Nightquill and empty pockets. We’d all love to be sitting pass the break at Coxs with a new Channel Island Wizard Sleeve, yet sometimes it’s not in cards. Instead of surfing, I’ve been napping in van down by the river. Thankfully, there’s a viable solution for those of us who still want to tuck barrels, but not break the bank: Trap Surfing! So dust off that once seemingly pointless long-board, raid dad’s tool-shred, and paddle into your nearest empty parking lot (figuratively speaking).

Check out this footage from the Rip 101 crew.

Don’t get rattled like Julian Wilson, instead find a nice dry parking-lot.

Green Snow?

Ryan — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 17:39:08 +0000

As snowboarders we should all be concerned about climate change as our sport relies on winter and snow. Climate change means less winter, which means less snowboarding. I can’t even count how many days there are now in November where it’s two degrees and raining and I’m wishing it would be a few degrees colder so it would finally snow.

Climate change is real and it’s happening around us. In the past 100 years humans have released greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into our atmosphere polluting our environment. This is literally changing how the world works. Warmer weather, stronger storms, more erratic weather and precipitation patterns (torrential rains and droughts), and changing ocean currents are a few of the issues we will face with climate change.

Haters keep on hating!
