Received the REI Anniversary Sale preview catalog this AM. It’s the usual REI sale – 30% off a good selection of stuff across departments plus a 20% off full price member coupon. Noticed they are also doing an extra 33% off the Outlet price of Marmot and Mountain Hardwear stuff. As most of it

Hestra Gloves on The Clymb

Justin — Tue, 15 May 2012 17:05:25 +0000

Saw that The Clymb had Hestra gloves for sale today. High quality gloves that are insanely popular with the splitboarders that never convert to board mode crowd, and something you don’t see on the cheap very often. Looks like they’ve got a nice mix of Hestra gloves for sale, from the vertical cut freerides

Ahh spring, where a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of….watersports. And bikes. And maybe finally posting a TR from the Oregon Splitfest. But whatever, it’s sunny out and while I know I should be stoked on hitting highway 20 and some local spring splitboard objectives, but I can’t lie, I’m not*. I’m

Found this vid of Adam Yauch aka MCA of The Beastie Boys riding in Alaska. Cancer took another good one from us, RIP Yauch.

Yup, another vid from Xavier De Le Rue and crue, this time filming for Standard Films ’2112′. That face gets SHREDDED at mach looney at 3:54 in, holy schnikeys!

A Few Old Passes

Justin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 03:53:07 +0000

Was going through some stuff (manically, had to find it in time to make the last FedEx overnight shipment at 4PM!) downstairs this afternoon, trying to find something entirely unrelated to snow. Never found it, but found a few of my older season passes.

Memories. And now y’all have my last

MONDAY STOKE: The Science of Airborning (AoF spoof)

Justin — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 23:31:45 +0000

This video made me do yes cartwheels. 8 minutes, 2 seconds of win, with an honest to God/Buddah/Allah/higher power of choice beer spitting LOL at the old man on the boat.

Things That Sound Good But Aren’t

Carrying a full keg up 2k vertical feet/3 miles. The idea starts off with good ol’ fashioned backyard engineering and ingenuity. “Just build a wooden platform on skis!” “Make a light metal brake for the rear so it doesn’t slide backwards!” However, the pre-tour optimism quickly gives way to the reality of the physics

Travis Rice Does ‘Hole in the Wall’

Justin — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:07:24 +0000

Travis Rice is living 50 Cent’s line “And if they hate then let ‘em hate and watch the money pile up”. I mean yeah, it gets old that everything he does is sponsored by some huge entity and follows the same damn formula each and every time – wax philosophical as whirlybird shuttles you

Homeschool Outerwear on The Clymb

Justin — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 21:53:28 +0000

Odd to see Homeschool up on The Clymb, but I guess after a year like this one was in most of the country it’s no surprise that manufacturers have excess inventory they are looking to dump. Looks like they’ve got all four jackets they make in every colorway, plus two styles of pant. Worth
