Justin Whoa.

Touring/splitty themed art – David Marlaire
June 24th, 2010 Justin Saw this over on TGR, had to post it up here. David Marlaire is a splitboarder and a damn fine artist, expressing his love of the outdoors through his art.

National Parks closed for remajestification
May 24th, 2010 Justin The Onion reports that the National Park system will be closed during their annual touch ups this week. I say thank God, they’ve been getting a bit tarnished with this late cool weather blast. “It’s that time of year again when we roll up our sleeves and begin the painstaking task of resplendoring our parks,” [...]
St. Helens 30 years ago
May 18th, 2010 Justin It’s the 30 year anniversary of St. Helens and you’re about to get blasted by the media talking about it. St. Helens always had a bit of a personal touch to me, not just because we had to wear masks over our face when it was raining ash, but because my dad was on the [...]

Looks like they’ll also be giving 20% off one non-sale item. If you’re like me you don’t need to be on the cutting edge of gear fabrics/designs, and hell [...]
