POWDER and RAILS Episode 3: Snowboarders in Exile
Snowboarders in Exile was the hit. FLF had made a small stir with The Western Front, but Exile actually created a movement. It solidified the video-pro as a legit career path, and made FLF the first legitimate snowboard filmmakers. In the years following, Jerry Dugan and Arthur Krehbiel helped both Standard Films and Mack Dawg Productions get off the ground and on their way to becoming two of the biggest snowboarding production companies going today. The main riders in the video, Damian Sanders, Steve Graham, Dave Seoane, and Chris Roach, became household names everywhere and not just in California.
Since Western Front had given FLF some industry credibility, the video actually had sponsors and they were able to leave their home mountain and go to places they had never been. All the riding is done as a group and it's easy to see them feeding off each other in every session and trying to outstyle one another. The music got a little better too, with tunes by HR, fIREHOSE, and Husker Du. There's even a glimpse of a certain Penthouse Pet in there. This video is a lot of fun.

POWDER and RAILS Episode 2: Western Front
Watching FLF's "Western Front" nowadays, you may think this is some fruity shit. But if you've ever seen any other snowboarding videos from around the same time you understand that "Western Front" is the coolest thing going. It's the first snowboarding video ever made that wasn't like a promo or a team video. Freestyle riding was the main focus and it was more about doing tricks rather than winning races or trying to replicate the stuff that skiers did. Snowboarding was really small then and not many people even got to see the video, but it set the stage for what snowboarding was going to turn into.

POWDER & RAILS Video 1
POWDER & RAILS
In the late 80s, a bunch of skaters who were bored in the wintertime inadvertently made snowboarding what it is today. They filmed each other not with any sort of historic legacy in mind, but just because that’s what you do when you’re a bunch of dudes who ride around on a piece of fiberglass in the snow all day. Then people saw these videos and started to realize the potential for tricks and big air on a snowboard, and everything else took off from there.
For whatever reason, most snowboarders have never embraced their forerunners with the same enthusiasm as skaters and surfers. That’s why I decided to make this show—as a way of giving credit to the people who took snowboarding from a fringe hobby to something people get paid stupid amounts of money to do. Or at least that’ll be the first few episodes. We’ll see where it goes from there.
Love,
Trevar.

5 Music Albums to Listen to While Snowboarding
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!

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.

Farellones, Chile June 2008
Thanks for backing our stuff and watching our videos! Right now the season is off to a good start down south of the equator. A few early snow storms have swept in and the sun has came out for some Chilean sunsets. So while it might be summer where you're at, just remember that the shred rips on somewhere on the globe.
We also just finished a new 2 minute video from the June 2008, the first month of summer snowboarding in wintery Chile. EXPN picked it up, so check it out now.

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!
