DC Mountain Lab 1.5

Music from DC Mountain Lab 1.5

DC has put out a new movie about their mountain lab in Utah. WOW can you say lucky - Ken Block owns this private park, not to mention is a world record rallycar racer. The park is a dream for every snowboarder out there, so start saving your money or create a brand as well known as DC and you'll be shredding the gnar as soon as you can afford to buy your own mountain. I've seen some home rail set-ups that are pretty sick and I'd be curious to see what other snowboarders had home riding sections in the backyard. I know the Leines brothers have a sick set-up in Minnesota. Well dream on or go out there and build yourself something sweet to jib, cause chances are that you'll never visit this DC Mountain Lab place!

Snoop Dogg - Sensual Seduction

Ok, I admit, this doesn't have much to do with snowboarding. But its Snoop and I love this new track, so I thought I should share it with you. The video is a stylie 80s theme and its a different style than normal Snoop Doggy Dogg. You can get it on ITunes by clicking here

Ken Block Jumps his Subaru 171ft

Just about everyone has seen the recent cover of Snowboarder with Ken Block jumping his Subaru in New Zealand alongside snowboarders from the DC team. Apparently Ken is a F###in badass, because aside from creating DC Shoes, he has bigger balls than just about anyone out there. He pulls an Evel Kneivel-like air of 171 ft in his car for stunt junkies in this clip. The snow footy can be seen in DC Mountain Lab 1.5. read this story for more info

Snowboarders declare victory on Taos

Shayboarder posted up this info on her blog: Now Taos Has Allowed snowboarding on their mountain.
It looks like Burton Snowboards can claim success on this one. Only recently began an ad campaign led by Burton to get all 4 blacklist resorts to Open Up. see $5000 prize for Poaching the Mountain" So suddenly Taos has declared that they will now open to snowboarders. The snowboarders and Jake Burton both get a victory. It looks like Burton really made a difference. They post a poaching Taos video where the snowboarders get roughed up simply for snowsliding down a mountain on one board instead of two. And it leads to Taos opening the mountin to snowboarders, yeah!
So Burton's marketing team can pat themselves on the back, cause this announcement will only cause great sales at Christmastime, and who in the snowboarding industry isn't looking for that. There's still 3 more resorts out there who don't allow snowboarding. So poach away and maybe you'll even win the $5000 prize Burton is offering for filming your exploits and publishing them on their site.

Commentary on Let it Ride: The Craig Kelly Story, Whistler artist Vanessa Stark, the art of grabbing stalefish, Whistler’s new gondola, and, finally, the number one commodity being plundered by aliens here on planet earth—the scarce and highly flexible element known as Boron—rounds out the issue.
