" I've already done alot of traveling so far, I've been to Colorado two times, once was for the Dew Tour. I was also just in Mammoth for Grand Prix and got to Salt Lake yesterday to do the second Dew Tour stop at Snow Basin. When I get back to the East coast on I'll be in NH for the rest of the month. Then I will be flying back out to Colorado for a Rev Tour. I come home from there and go straight to Vermont for the last Dew Tour stop. Then March it's just the US Open I think since there's no Killington Grand Prix. After the Open I leave for Colorado again for Nationals. and hopefully I will be doing the launch photo shoot for Snowboarder Mag again. I'll be doing the Flow photoshoot in Mammoth in April. Thats pretty much it i think. "

ZANE AND IAN BRADLEY

2010 started out well as Zane and Ian were invited to ride with B Hunt, Zach Early,and Chris Childs in their first PAID demo with MAXIMUM VELOCITY at the Hynes Center in Boston what a way to start the New Year. It was a good night on great ramps with huge crowds. Geoffrey owner and announcer had never met the boys but seemed to enjoy their riding style Zane hitting the ramps with 720s and 540s and some huge tuck threes,in all three packed shows and Ian with his patterned tuck to side saddle landers no footed can to no footers to side saddle Kenny Bartram would have been proud, Who Ian actually had the opportunity to talk and have lunch with at the X Games. Where Ian Informed Kenny that he stole his trick. Thanks to B Hunt for the intro to Maximum Velocity and a great night Here are some pics from a great photographer who was nice enough to send us some shots. He was there to enjoy the show with his family and only asked us to mention his name with the photos thankyou Robert Provost

TODD RICHARDS

Todd Richards always gives great interviews

Here's the link to part two

JEFF BRUSHIE

Here are a couple of tunes that I took a double take of. The Forum D Walsh and the Ride Brushie side by side look pretty damn similar on the top sheets anyway. The pic is one I took of Brush blasting out of the pipe at the Open sometime back. This was when guys like Terje, Brushie, Daniel Frank, Todd Richards were simply ruling it.

YET ANOTHER..MIA

MIA will never fade. Another one came in tonight and people will not part with them. Still solid and so many still on the snow.

GIT R DONE

Holidays are over which means shop guys finally get their asses on the snow more often again. This week will be..Loon Wednesday and a Waterville Valley session on Thursday. Get your gear in the car and get up North for some turns, crashes, burns, brews, jibs, jumps..and whatever else. The weather looks like it'll be making a turn for the warmer side and the snows been great from all reports. Pack a car full of people and lets get a crew up there.

FINALLY

There's a site I check out from time to time with gadget reviews and random stuff and this gem came up. It'll probably scare the pants off all the veggie gobbling, hemp wearing folks but who cares. Maybe you can even read it on one of those Kindle "books" made for people that cant handle turning pages..............Fire up the grill!

Lobel's Meat Bible
It's one thing to love eating meat, and quite another to love learning about it. If you fall into the latter category, consider picking up Lobel's Meat Bible ($27). Written by the Lobel family of master butchers, this 320-page epicurean excursion includes extensive information on beef, pork, lamb, rabbit, poultry, veal, and more, explanations of texture, flavor, and contents, and more than 150 recipes from various cuisines and origins.

MAKING FRIENDS

I was flipping through some older pics when I found this from a past Oakley party.
Simply put..Steve is always fun to have around. Kristen and Britt are obviously impressed.
Check this recent shot of our very missed employee Brittnee found on a fashion blog.

....ALL FALL DOWN

There's carnage early this year in the snowbro world. I spoke with Ted "crash" Lavoie today after his Dr. visit for an update on his condition. Seems like things could be worse, but he still managed to crack half of his kneecap vertically and did some other weird tweak at the same time while filming some street in Worcester, leaving him walking but in a brace. According to Ted he should be back on the snow if all goes well late in our New England season, and then heading to Hood for the summer to get back up to speed.

Best wishes from the EB crew. Here's Ted shooting out of the "Aggro Crag" from Last Call, and a dork around jib session at WV.
