the venue for the freestyle portion of the event.

Your faithfully inconsistent correspondent braved perils of one of the worlds most dangerous roads, dingos, dannys, 2 stroke smoke, 120ft whips, the pipeline club, cheerio rationing, free beer, free reindeer sausages, the shine of olympic metal, party marty, t-cat , smokin joe, dj cross wrecking the decks, 27 chins, them cleeps , fillets, britt and tiny and the cohiba, the gravity putting satan on the floor, setting off the smoke detector with "smoke", evening seshes with tony mann and a week couch surfing a motor home along with a thousand other truly epic events quickly forgotten once i arrived at viewing area of the contest face for this years king of the hill. it was all worth it. people will see the footage and pictures but there are not enough words in the 1000 per picture or in the 1000 per frame of the 32 frame per second hd footage to describe the high standard of snowboarding i witnessed first hand on april 3rd 2010.

well two words.

travis rice.

Here are the links to my cruddy iphone video of Travis Rice's Run , Soctty Lago's Run , and Shawn Farmer's Run on the freestyle face in brobowl. look really close for the fast moving little black dots.

is too much free time a good thing or a bad thing?

Rebounding into action in 2010.

2010-01-02T15:28:00.000-08:00

Over getting reckless driving tickets without actually getting reckless?

Tired of lugging around drop in ramps?

Getting sling shotted in by two friends just not getting you the speed you need?

Know of that one feature you always wanted to hit but theres just no way to get speed?

Well now you can. The Banshee Bungee is the solution to all your winter wants. Check it.

We got one for the shop to use and Jay Kuzma has been out DOING WORK SON. Gettin all urban jib ninja style ... flyin from roof tops like a Tech-Nine Flying Tiger Hidden Dragon. Props to Aaron Gotthardt for the ill photo.

Heres a few video examples:

We've got a bunch of Banshee Bungees in at the shop... And we've also got good deals on those Tech-Nine decks to keep your presses locked and your slides slick.

Keep your eyes here and the facebook for info about the skatepark.

The rewards of being out skating.

2009-12-22T00:53:00.000-08:00

Justin stopped by today and told me about how he was out skating downtown and ended up being in a cellphone commercial ... So awesome.

Ladies ... hit him up on Facebook.

jurassic park on my mind

2009-12-21T16:47:00.000-08:00

Those guys over at Dinosaurs Will Die are at it again. Sub zero temps ... Late night missions ... Generator exhaust ... Sketchy tow ins ... Coffee and chicken fingers ... everything that's awesome about urban riding. These guys eat sleep live and breathe it.

The Think Thank crew stopped into the shop, Sean Genovese took some shots and gave us a shout on the DWD Blog... STOKED!!! If you dont have your copies of Cool Story and Stack Footy you are slippin super hard. (Stop into the shop and we'll give ya some traction.)

The newest rider on the team Chris Larson is a local anchorage shred. Killing it like the Special Forces in Afganistan. Check out his parts in Think Thank's Stack Footy:

and this years Docu-Epic "Cool Story"

If you dug that do yourself a favor and score your self a copy today.

We've got the entire line of DWD boards exclusively at Zaks Boardroom.

Also they had the best youtube clip of the moment on their blog.

Bam ba ba ba bam bam!

Phaze One is in its final stages.

2009-12-13T21:12:00.000-08:00

I made a little trip to the south side this afternoon and took a few fresh pictures and played with windows movie maker. Dramatic right? For more info stop by zAKs Boardroom.

Kinda Mental for Skate Mental

2009-12-12T00:22:00.000-08:00

I'm always stoked to see what new kind of kook is gonna come out of the twisted mind of Brad Staba. Skate Mental has been comedy since day one. Check out the past issues section of the Wallride catalog site and see some hilariously offensive classic decks and some of the best accessories in the history of skateboarding, I mean come on rubber rafts, poo shaped wax and a tee shirt with a mike carroll chest hair screen print ...genius .... frickin insane genius.

If your into this flavour of crazy, like I am, then you might also want to check out Brad's twitter account, I'm not big on the whole twitter thing but his twitters have made me laugh out loud. Skate Mental also has a pretty bangin team, what with the re-emergence of Matt Beach and a really strong amature team promo "Am Chowder" (dyslexia is awesome i kept trying to type am choder).

Skate Mental Am Chowder

And have you seen the new Nike SM collection? Its cool to see that someone who has worked with Nike since their first skateboarding attempt, Savier (these were pretty insane space age style), got a little free reign to goof off. Check out the video descriptions for each product, they're pretty funny. "Blue, then Brown, then White, blue, brown, white." We got the coat, the shoes , and the lost cobra flyer tee in the shop this week. i'm super stoked on the coat, how can you not be stoked on a sweet coat that also comes with a hidden six pack pocket system??

Genius. Pure genius.

You got the Blue, then the Brown, then the White.

Like how i learned what the little globe with the chain icon does today?

If dogs could read this would be an apology.

2009-12-11T23:11:00.000-08:00

Pig Pig hit target over the weekend with her grandma and ended up getting some new duds ... she doesnt need to know that only the XL (like golden retriver and lab) size santa outfit would fit her. So keep your eyes out downtown for Pig Pig and Caroline out taking a walk and gettin all festive like.

Meanwhile, out in girdwood over the last week we saw some super strange inversion action.... tuesday it was 18 at the base and 46 at the top ... almost 30 degrees upsidedown ... crazyness.
wedsday it got a little less weird but was still 18-20 at the base and like 36 at the top.
the best part was the view though. i got a shot of zak smith tossin a nice five off kitchen with my phone, but check out the inlet , or lack thereof.

It was kinda like snowboarding in Cloud City , but i didn't see Billy Dee Williams anywhere and we definitely didn't fly home in the millennium falcon.

One year and counting!

2009-12-05T23:57:00.000-08:00

On Nov. 22nd we celebrated our one year anniversary party with a party at The Avenue Bar ... There was a Best Helmet contest. Judging from the blurriness of the pics a good time was had by all.

We had a three way tie for best helmet and they played darts (well, who could hit the dartboard.) to see who won the snowboard. After a heated rem-ach Ian Chang came out victorious with his brand new Coors Banquet Beer NeverSummer snowboard. Congrats to ian and a big shout out to the runners up, the dude with the beer helmet and the dude with the "night at the ave". helmet , complete with cigars, darts, condoms , and a definite odor of strong drink. An odor that also came from the beverages responsible for me not getting good pictures of the above described helmets.

But, i did manage to catch Pretty Eyes on the couch, test driving a new porche. (well not so new i guess.)

And Caroline somehow managed to end up wearing the award winning helmet at some point in the evening, and as with any great helmet, its gonna require a parental advisory sticker.

If this was year one, two years is gonna kick ass.

Like a flasher in a trenchcoat.. heres a quick tease.

2009-12-05T23:41:00.000-08:00

yup its for real!

This little peek is about 2 weeks old, and intentionally not photographed well. i know the 16,000 screws holding the skatelite stuff down are all screwed in now and these pics are from before that. So that should get your mouths watering. enjoy.

and with that i close my coat and run away.

Bring it back Justin!

2009-12-03T22:17:00.001-08:00

yup that's a snowskate.
