Saw this article over at Shay’s site today (BTW, the girl is killing it on the journalistic tip lately with her interviews and whatnots so be sure to bookmark her and buy her a beer if she’s ever in your town) and had to post the vid. It’s amazing how far the sport has come – from walking up your local hill and snurfing down, to contests at halfpipes at a dump, to mega-millionaires winning Olympic medals. I wonder if Rob Patterson and Howard Sorensen had any thoughts of sponsorship that day or if they just savored the moment and the feeling of riding down snow with their friends?

So it’s been awhile since I’ve written anything as I’ve been playing catch-up with Mobspot (btw, if anybody out there is familiar with creating on device versions of websites ping me) related stuff that got neglected during my move so figured I’d throw something out there. I was putting this together earlier this year, just trying to rally together all the scatted post-ASI info into one place. First up, a look at the 2010 Burton Snowboards. A few warnings: I still haven’t had a chance to do anything other than dayhikes since hitting Portland, but hopefully will get my review of the Mountain Hardwear Koa 55 up before the winter. Just got my MH Phantom 32, will post a first look soon… UPDATE: Looks like the 2010 Burton product is hitting online retailers. You can check it out at Snowboard Connection (the OGs of the Seattle snowboard scene, plus John used to support the Surfrider Foundation, good peeps), Backcountry.com, evoGear (Seattle represent again!) and REI. Love this blog. Beautiful women using bikes as a normal part of everyday life. Of course it makes me realize I spent 8 years in the Bay area dealing with ugly chicks while friends of mine were over in Copenhagen dealing with beautiful women. http://www.copenhagencyclechic.com/  Utopia? |
