LOON PILING IT UP

2012-01-23T19:37:00.006-05:00

Anyone that has been home thinking the snow up north is still not worth the drive, should take a look at how much Loon has been pumping out. Conditions this Sunday were pretty good. These pics are from the giant piles in the main park. The 1/2 pipe was being cut, the wallride was being shaped and dug out too. Mini parks are also in the works. There are new trails on South Peak...and the list goes on. Get your butt up there.

DANNY TOUMARKINE STORY...JUST WATCH IT.

It's not a story anyone wants to document but was, and should be seen non the less. Good to see Danny back. Great video.

On a completely sad note this is the other side of this sort of story that just was released.

Eastern Boarder Presents Street Games
at Waterville Valley

On Saturday and Sunday, January 28 (snowboard) & 29 (ski), 2012 Waterville Valley Resort and New England’s favorite shop EB will officially unveil Waterville's brand new South Street Terrain Park. This park is the brainchild of Terrain Park Manager Luke Mathison and his creative staff. The overall purpose of this park is for riders to have a place where the focus is on learning and progression without huge consequence. The Street Games event will be three 30-minute jam sessions per division. First off will be the Slingshot section where a 20ft Banshee Bungee will be setup for competitors to use. Second will be roll the dice where judges will be rolling the custom die and calling tricks at random. Third will be the creation station where judges will be looking for the most unique lines and use of the features. Building has begun on a new Red Bull signature feature for the event as well. There will be no teasers on what the feature will be so you'll just have to come to the event. This won’t be your typical contest format with over critical judging and mandated structure. It will be more of a controlled chaos with a focus on creativity,style and fun. Competitors will be awarded prizes from a very heavy sponsor list including: EB, Oakley, Red Bull, Foursquare, Forum, Special Blend, Coal and Banshee Bungee during each sections session at random for exemplary style. There will be one overall winner from each division at the conclusion of the event.

Format: 30 min jam for each division per section.
1st section: Banshee Bungee Slingshot
2nd Section: Roll the dice
3rd Section: Creation Station

Registration:
8-10am at Event Yurt

Gus from Loon sent some pics of what's happening up there these days. We all know it's been a funky winter but if you haven't been going up north you're blowing it. The parks and conditions are in real great shape and only getting better. Get off the couch.

SAM HULBERT 2ND PLACE NANSHAN OPEN

2012-01-16T10:07:00.001-05:00

Way to go Sam!

Sam Hulbert takes 2nd at the 10th Red Bull Nanshan Open

With judges including Michi Albin, Ingemar Bachman and Scotty Wittlake in charge of narrowing yesterday's 12 top-ranked riders down to four for the afternoon's Super Finals, the level of riding was significantly elevated from the qualification round as riders gave their all for promises of fame, glory and of course the TTR points and prize money. After two runs each, USA's Sam Hulbert would enter the Super Finals ranked first, followed by Juuso Laivisto, Roope Tonteri (FIN) and Teddy Koo (KOR). In the end Sam Hulbert took second with a bs720 to fs1080 on the kickers and was the only rider to hit the jib section's oversized-pipe with a 50-50 to bs360 out.

BURTON COMPANY HISTORY WALL

2012-01-15T12:23:00.009-05:00

This is sort of a cool thing to look through if you have a minute. Burtons time line of old boards and things they developed over the last 35 years.

Here's some of what is due in deliveries this week.

FOCUS MAGAZINE

2012-01-10T12:18:00.003-05:00

The best things in life are free as they say..so come get the new Focus that just dropped into the shop. EB team Matt Lane has a "fresh find"shot in there.

BRUSHIE

2012-01-09T18:45:00.004-05:00

This is another nice one that came in for a tune today. The Joyride alone was cool and then I noticed the old Ride Brushie signature bindings that looked like they just came out of the packaging. These shots I took of Jeff are from Stratton and Nashoba Valley. Nashoba was helping promote snowboarding LONG before a lot of New England ski areas ever let us ride.

SNOLLER BLADES

2012-01-09T15:54:00.001-05:00

Not bad for $2.99. Might make another comeback.

PR-E-ST MOUNTING SYSTEMS

2012-01-05T22:55:00.003-05:00

Finally catching onto the EST system from Burton? Never heard of channel system boards? Stop into any of the EB shops and have a look for yourself why Burton pursued using the system that other companies used in the past. The concept is actually quite old but Burton has made it truly functional and cleaned up in the last few years. This is a older Peter Line Forum deck with two in it. Capita has used a similar system in the past and way before both was REV which EB had carried too. Don't be afraid ...be informed. It works.

BUTT OF COURSE...ASS TOPS IT ALL

2012-01-05T22:42:00.003-05:00

HAUL ASS wax is sold at EB. Your snowboard tunes are ASS WAXED here too. Have been for years. Buy it in a 2lb brick, palm sized or snack sized. Everyone loves ASS.

EB TEAM CHECK ZACH NORMANDIN

2012-01-05T12:14:00.006-05:00

Zach has been really stepping it up over the last couple years and it's hard not to notice that he has serious potential as a rider to take it to another level. Right now he's being flowed Volcom and Electric. Keep an eye on him. Not bad for a kid who has spent most of his time riding Nashoba Valley.

Oakley, Volcom, EB

The Eastern Boarder van is a way to give back to a group of kids who display love and dedication for snowboarding. Since those involved all hail from the East Coast, the van makes it easier in terms of travel, for a bunch of broke snowboarders subjected to the fluctuating weather at the hands of Mother Nature. Over the course of the season, the van will be traveling all around the East with talk of a possible West Coast adventure. The trip will be documented in affiliation with Keep the Change, so keep posted for video's, photo's, and write up's to follow.

Were going to make a series of edits throughout the winter showing all the dumb things that we do...keep posted!

2011-12-06T20:14:00.004-05:00

The Legacy : Mid-wide all mountain freestyle
A wider version of the SL, this deck dominates every part of the mountain from parks, to pow, to steeps. Its width eliminates most toe and heel drag, but is narrow enough to be quick and responsive. A deeper sidecut, the Carbon VXR and powerful flex make it the most versatile, high-performance mid-wide board we’ve ever built!

The SL : Type: All mountain freestyle
This all terrain, all condition ride is our most popular and versatile model. For 2011/12 we have modified our Custom Flight Core to reduce weight and increase pop. We’ve also added the Carbon VXR Laminate Technology to the SL adding powerful edge response and control. The lightweight RDS 2 Damping System provides the perfect balance of freeride vibration absorption and freestyle liveliness. Slightly setback for powder floatation but centered enough for spinning and carving, this one board quiver excels on hardpack, in the park, natural features and all around freeriding. Handcrafted in Denver, Colorado, the SL has once again set the standard for all mountain freestyle performance, versatility and durability.

The Premier F1 : TYPE: Freeride
Our high performance Premier F1 takes freeride technology to a whole new level! The Carbon V-Twin Laminate Technology and custom F1 Elastomeric Stabilizers underfoot increase edgehold and vibration absorption in any snow condition. With the NS freeride technology, the Premier F1 will power through anything in its path keeping you on edge and in complete control at any speed. The modified NS Custom Flightcore also incorporates a multi-flex profile giving the Premier a powerful tail flex and a more responsive mid flex. For unmatched carving ability, powder floatation and effortless turn initiation, the F1 has arrived.

GOOD STUFF

Neff , Air Hole, DC, 32, Banshee Bungee, Ashbury, Dragon, Electric, Flow.....and more.

Lots of skate goods are hitting the shops later this week along with complete boards for the start up guys. Cult complete bikes are in stock again and small parts orders are due in too.......there's a lot still on the way. Stop in and take a look.

2nd place: Jake Dooley, $500

3rd place: Matt Lane, $300

4th place: Gavin McMahon Nolan, $100

These guys all destroyed it and it was very hard to pick the top four! Other contests like the Thunder Best Trick, Orchard's Best Trick, Spongie's High Nollie Contest (Pat Hickey took it all the way to 29 inches!), and the Analog Game of SKATE,all took place as well and we have some photo and video coverage coming asap! Thanks to everyone who skated, everyone who helped out, everyone who came out to watch and hang out, and a HUGE thanks to all of our Sponsors! Vans, Snap Candy, Thunder, Analog,Orchard, RAW,and Concepts!

The ledge and ramps are gone for another year. Seems like they worked out well for the Brawl. Be on the lookout for pics and videos of the actual Brawl. Here was a early session on the ledge we brought to Boston.

32

2011-11-12T17:53:00.004-05:00

The first of our 32 boots came in today. Have Lashed and the TM - Two so far.

Also bunch of new Brixton gear hats and t's. Fresh batch of Haul Ass Wax straight from the Ass Lab just in time to get your kit all buttery smooth as the snow gets ready to fly. The tune shop is also dialed in and ready to go so if your looking to get your rig set for the season but don't want to do it yourself or need your base ground and re finished bring it on down before the snow gets here. Then when all the homies are scrambling to find wax and get the rust of the edges you'll be getting all the fresh turns.

Tonight Nov. 10th at the Capitol Theater

Big red doing big things and on a side note dude with the Flannel has the best hot bars this side of the Mississippi seriously sick!
Chilling with the mandatory dude in shorts photo
Everyone trying to get what was theirs before mother nature took hers

This past saturday locals James and August helped us out and coordinated a little bmx jam chill and grill out in the lot. Even with a less then promising weather forcast and freezing temps a bunch of heads showed up ready to get their shred on. We pulled out some ramps and things just got going. Everyone was tossing themselves at obstacles, some with more luck then others keeping the rubber side down. As the temps dropped further the grill got fired up and Beaupre manned the flames grilling up some grub so every got a little something to warm themselves up. Derek hands down took the Man award jumping the dumpster blind using two semi rickity three foot wide quarter pipes. ( the pictures don't do it justice it was wild first try like a champ) Even though derek might have been the man everyone was doing some cool stuff. I saw hot bars and plenty of cool stunt stick tricks from most everyone else. At the end a few sick T's from 90 East got tossed out thanks to Lino G. All in all a rad day even if it got cut short by the sky opening and dumping a foot of snow on us. Thanks to everyone that came out, hopefully we can do it again when the weather is a littler nicer.

New snowboards and everything that goes along with them have been dumping into the shops. People already seem hyped to get out there too with early season sales kicking in.
