Everyone needs to find good music to snowboard to. Pack your Zune or Ipod full of tracks from these albums for an all day shred journey. We chose 5 great albums to choose from for an amazing time on the hill.
5 Snowboarding Music Choices from www.snowboardsoundtracks.com:
1. Gnarls Barkley - The Odd Couple
This Cd keeps you going while riding. Its en-fused with energy that doesn't exist in most of today's newer music.
2. Trevor Andrew - Trouble Andrew
While Trevor Andrew's name might not instantly be recognizable by non-snowboarders, his music is about to change that. This longtime pro snowboarder turned musician started writing music during the downtime after a snowboard injury. Encouraged by his girlfriend Santi White of the Band Santogold, Trevor started playing his songs for others and recorded this amazing album.
3. Stephen Marley - Mind Control
Stephen Marley follows the roots of Reggae legend and father Bob Marley with modern dancehall beats. Sometimes I just put this album on repeat and listen to it over and over. The good vibes and thumping bass keep the shred-party rolling.
4. Chromeo - Fancy Footwork
Chromeo hails from Montreal, Canada where they make music to keep from freezing during their extremely long winter. Their sound can be compared to 80s synthesizer funk with a new school music studio. This duo sounds like no other, you'll be inspired to do your tricks with a new found flair.
5. The All Nighters - Drink the Night
The All Nighters are from a new surf rock style influence. You'll be floating through some deep powder snow and feel like you're surfing the waves on the beach in California.

Skate Banana Magne Traction Technology Demonstrated by Blair Habenicht
Blair Habenicht is from Bellevue, WA but can be seen skating, surfing, and snowboarding around in places like Bellingham, WA, Mt Baker, Chris Corraline's Surf Farm on the coast, Alpental, Alaska, and Barcelona. He's been tearing up the slopes for some time now and is finally getting recognized by big companies like Think Thank, Absinthe Films, Lib Tech Skate Banana Company, Volcom, and Dragon. He's the cousin of Scott Stamnes, that guy who always skated the mini-ramps on fishing ships in Alaska in the old Volcom Videos like Chicagof - Special Edition
. Blair is getting tons of hits on his youtube snowboard video "Blair Habenicht Skate Banana Footage Lib Tech Snowboard," right now there's 234,000 views. Is it Blair Demonstrating his skate banana tech moves and tricks, or the novelty of the skate banana's reverse camber technology driving all these viewers to check him out? You be the judge, I think Blair is a great rider with pure big mountain style and a little jibbing mixed in. Look for Blair rolling his halfie cigs up in a parking lot near you. If you're lucky enough to take a run with him down the rascal at Mt Baker, don't expect to keep up. He's been shredding with Temple Cummins since he was a little grom.
Official Video description: Blair jibs on a Banana and then with the same park jib stance and set up rides pow normal and switch without having to get way back on the back leg. Easy relaxed balanced stance in pow switch or regular and then straight to the jibs. One board does it all from one stance, twin banana freestyle is wide open from the streets, park pipe to the pow. The future is bananas!

Standard Films 2008 - Aesthetica Video
Standard Films' Aesthetica Teaser Music
Song: "Disposable Heroes"
Artist: Metallica
Album: Master of Puppets
Wow, this is the best teaser so far. Mark Landvik starts it off with a BANGER ollie!!!! Unf*cKing believeable pop! Then later there is the biggest method gap ever seen, I don't even know who does it, but its huge. Look to see the best mixture ever for Standard Snowboard movies, with backcountry pillows, rails, park, and jumps from a very solid crew. 3 things you might notice:
#1 - No more Big Mountain Jeremy Jones.
I assume Jeremy was riding with TGR more this year. His heliboarding Alaska slaughterfests have left a big mark on the Standard videos, but they must be looking to get more freestyle this year and cut out the lines.
#2 - No way, where is John Jackson?
In a split from riding with his brother Eric Jackson, John Jackson didn't film with Standard this year. He's in the new Forum video "Forum or Against 'em."
#3 - Johan Olofsson Returns As a Noboarder!
I know all the old schoolers claim Johan's old TB footy is way better than most of the pros today, but is Johan ready to return to video glory? We'll have to wait and see how his noboarding turns out. Noboarding is like a combination of surfing and snowboarding. Like the original snurfer snowboards they have a strap/harness that you hold onto if you want control of the board.
Movie Description:
Aesthetica is a visual journey that captures the essence and elements of snowboarding. This feature snowboard film highlights the riding of progressive and unique freestyle features in the backcountry to the steepest and deepest powder conditions of 2008. Witness the pure power powder throwdowns by Mark Landvik, Eric Jackson and Mads Jonsson in the Great White North. Visit with the hardcore underground Canadian locals as they destroy the streets of Montreal.
Watch the most shocking avalanche footage of Xavier Delerue taking the ride of his life along with Torstein Horgmo's, mind blowing freestyle segment. Mathieu Crepel, Kazuhiro Kokubo and Mitch Reed deliver their best images to date along with the return of Johan Olofsson NoBoarding bottomless powder. This snowboard movie delivers all aspects of modern riding by today's best riders in 16mm film by Standard Films.

Album: Master of Puppets
Wow, this is the best teaser so far. Mark Landvik starts it off with a BANGER ollie!!!! Unf*cKing believeable pop! Then later there is the biggest method gap ever seen, I don't even know who does it, but its huge. Look to see the best mixture ever for Standard Snowboard movies, with backcountry pillows, rails, park, and jumps from a very solid crew. 3 things you might notice:
#1 - No more Big Mountain Jeremy Jones.
I assume Jeremy was riding with TGR more this year. His heliboarding Alaska slaughterfests have left a big mark on the Standard videos, but they must be looking to get more freestyle this year and cut out the lines.
#2 - No way, where is John Jackson?
In a split from riding with his brother Eric Jackson, John Jackson didn't film with Standard this year. He's in the new Forum video "Forum or Against 'em."
#3 - Johan Olofsson Returns As a Noboarder!
I know all the old schoolers claim Johan's old TB footy is way better than most of the pros today, but is Johan ready to return to video glory? We'll have to wait and see how his noboarding turns out. Noboarding is like a combination of surfing and snowboarding. Like the original snurfer snowboards they have a strap/harness that you hold onto if you want control of the board.
Movie Description:
Aesthetica is a visual journey that captures the essence and elements of snowboarding. This feature snowboard film highlights the riding of progressive and unique freestyle features in the backcountry to the steepest and deepest powder conditions of 2008. Witness the pure power powder throwdowns by Mark Landvik, Eric Jackson and Mads Jonsson in the Great White North. Visit with the hardcore underground Canadian locals as they destroy the streets of Montreal.
Watch the most shocking avalanche footage of Xavier Delerue taking the ride of his life along with Torstein Horgmo's, mind blowing freestyle segment. Mathieu Crepel, Kazuhiro Kokubo and Mitch Reed deliver their best images to date along with the return of Johan Olofsson NoBoarding bottomless powder.
