So here is what happened

Everyone heard about Shaun White face planting the copping while trying to land its double cork backside 1260...Pretty much similar like K.Pearce's accident resulting in severe brain injury....However Shaun seemed to absorb it pretty well as he kept pushing through the competition and ended up winning.

Most snowboarders would have finished at the hospital from such an impact.

XGames, Shaun White wins again

Salomonder

When I saw the board about a month ago featured in some online forum, I thought to myself that the drawings were pretty weak but quickly I realized that it was very much like skateboarding (at least like Toy Machine) and because it is a rail board, It actually makes sense and in addition it is something different from other manufacturers.

I have been lucky enough to check out this board a week ago and actually the graphic looks much better in real than online. I felt I had a skateboard in my hands, you know ready to f&cking shred some kinky rails. With some new tech like Easy press core and no chip tip this board is ready to score.

like Golf...straight shot into the hole

Chris Cunningham, business unit director for Burton bindings was interviewed by TWS. Feel free to read the full article but here is a quick sum up of the interview.

-Malavita EST we have added air padding to the hi-back, a limited edition winged hi-back option, and a new lower price

-C60 EST we have an all new MegaBED Air, which provides the rider will full air padding from toe to heel

-Cartel EST and Mission EST, both models have upgraded hi-backs. We have also introduced the new Custom EST at $179

-Re:Flex technology : new baseplate and disc design, this technology blends some of the benefits of EST with the versatility of a disc binding. Rider benefits include 70% more underfoot flex than traditional disc bindings, 20% lighter baseplate design, more cushioning than traditional disc bindings, and compatibility with all mounting systems (Channel, 3D, and 4×4). It is introduced on the Prophecy at $299 and C0₂ at $369.

-Expansion of their GMP regrind process across the entire line above the $160 price point.

-All new Freestyle and Citizen ‘One-Up’ series. These are in addition to our traditional Freestyle and Citizen, but are new convenience based one-strap models for easier entry and exit. They ride amazing in all types of conditions and cut your entry/exit time in half.

-From 50’s pulp art on the Malavita, to the scribbling from some drunken artist on the Cobrashark!, to the clean lines of the C02, each model takes on its own unique feel. In the women’s line it was no holds bar on the shelf appeal of this line

Noboarding

I never had the chance to try noboarding, but being a skater and surfer since 6 years old, to imagine the feeling of surfing on powder must be an incredible feeling.
Actually I had a dream about it last night so while this video is not a recent one it can give you an idea on how much fun it is on powder.

Bode Merrill

Bode Merrill has been nominated for both Rider of the Year and Best Video Part...Here is a quick look at his skills from the video Neverland:

Surfing in Japan...

With thousands of other japanese surfer in the Sagami Bay. That is the tale from one of my Floridian buddy who went there for the holidays.

I couldn't believe how many people were surfing such tiny waves. That would be the same crowd at Blacks or Sunset during a perfect 8 feet swell on a Sunday morning but I found the pictures funny enough that I thought I would show them.
