Linerider, like snowboarding on a computer

Linerider is the best thing for computers ever. Draw a series of transitions with a simple pencil tool and let loose your snowman on the track. He drops in and if you're lucky, he catches some air.

Mt Baker Arm

Jeremy Dubs on the Arm - Photo by Justin Kious -
The Arm is a magnificent place in the Mt Baker Backcountry where everyone goes to hike the moment it gets sunny after a fresh powder day at Mt Baker. Sometimes you get lucky and get some first tracks. On this day me and Nick Ennen happened to meet up with Byron from Arbor and Justin Kious at the top of the hike. As I dropped in, little did I know that Justin would be pulling out his camera for a great snapshot...

like comparing apples and oranges to apples and oranges

Ichiro Suzuki on playing in Cleveland: "To tell the truth, I'm not excited to go to Cleveland, but we have to. If I ever saw myself saying I'm excited going to Cleveland, I'd punch myself in the face, because I'm lying." more words of wisdom from Ichiro.

Alterna Films drops their teaser for "Apples and Oranges". It is very pretty.

Spirit Skate Shop in Spokane, WA also has a video titled "Apples and Oranges". Except because their fruits are from eastern washington, they are not so pretty. Instead these fruits can skate better than you and will probably steal your wallet.

Sugarshack has a new teaser for "Try This at Home".

Snowboard-Mag.com has a post on the U of O Rail Jam hosted by Galvanic Design.

Eesa is at Mt. Hood.

New teaser for "Still Bastards".

Mellow Mood Productions out of Switzerland has announced the name of their new shred flick..."Green". They have some podcasts on their site.

also, twsbiz.com reports that Bob Burnquist and the super awesome "Action Sports Environmental Coalition" (ASEC) somehow got into the capitol. Maria Cantwell proceeded to punish them in a game of SKATE.

the worst hippies I have ever seen

"Established during the summer of 2006, those who brought you Organik, felt it was time to expand their efforts onto clothing. It all came from a common idea of high quality designs backed by a conscious message. " - Organik

Organik is an art/clothing/photography/film/design collective from Michigan. Seems that everything in snowboarding is from the midwest these days. Most of the organik homies are just graduating from high school, but are more crafty than mcgyver. All kinds of influences: shred, skate, hiphop, bling, but no granola. Check out their site ororganik.com for the goodnes*. For supplemental reading, themustachio.com just interviewed mark from organik.

*make sure you have your volume cranked, there is a banger playing somewhere on the page

summer rain = computer fun

This weekends Mt. Hood mission has been postponed, due to "substantial showers". Oh well, plenty of shredding to do on the internets.
Summer snowslipping is great. Get off work, school and crack and get down (or up) to Hood (or Whistler). Here is some slope happenings for the summer.

1. Signal Snowboards will be demoing some new shred sticks at Mt. Hood Wednesday June 13 through whenever they feel like going home. Next years line is looking really good. They got some help with graphics from MONSTERPILOT. Check out their site for some sneak peeks.
2. Bonfire will be hosting a Pipe2Pipe at hood June 29th and July 20th. The event consists of a railjam on the snow, and skate jam....not on the snow. The event is open to pros, ams and lumberjacks, and if Josh Sherman likes you, he will bestow you with money, a sponsorship or a flannel shirt.
3. Burton's Abominable Snowjam is July 10-12 at the Hood, and it's a big deal.
4. Eesa is going to ghostride their RV up to Hood sometime this summer, not sure when, I don't think they are either.
5. All summer: schmooze with pros, work on goggle tans, shred with your shirt off to impress the ladies, resent the campers whose parents actually did send their kid to camp after promising to do it (thanks mom).

That's all I can remember, I really don't know what is happening in Whistler (help?). I will try to embellish this list at a later date.

Remember: snowboarding is funner than not snowboarding.
