Thoughts: Snowboard Mag Gear Guide
0I received my copy of the Snowboard Mag 2011 Gear Guide in the mail last week, and was stoked to see it sitting in the little gray postal box. This is that transitional phase where the weather is starting to move towards fall, and we all known soon enough in CO, snow will start. The Gear Guide is kind of like a fix, something to ease over the time between now and when the snow hits. I spend a good amount of time riding, and reviewing various gear, albeit it in a wide format, or for bigger guys etc, and was disappointed with some aspects of the Gear Guide.
Local: Movies on the Rocks!
0I absolutely love premier season, it’s that time when we all get amped up for the coming season. The air is crisp, hoodies, and beanies abound, everyone is just super chill, and stoked to get to see the culmination of the various companies hard work through out the season. If you’re in the Denver area, or surrounding area, and can check out the Snowboard Movie on the Rocks event happening Sept 17th, I’d highly recommend it. Three movies… three insanely great movies, live music, and more, set among the Red Rocks ampitheatre backdrop. Unfortunately I’m going to be over in the UK during this event, and I’m sure bummed about that, but check out what’s going down! This even is going to be amazing!

Upcoming: 2010-2011 Flow Wide Boards
0Flow has definitely taken their game to a whole new level this year. The new product coming out is looking hot, and from what I’ve seen the quality is even better. Since this site is aimed at the bigger rider, I’m going to address the wide boards in the 2010-2011 lineup. Flow’s been rocking the industry/scene since the 90′s and has improved year over year. I believe this is their best year ever, with board design, technology and choices abound. I did notice however, they’ve removed a few things from the lineup which was a bummer to me, but I understand how the market works, and why things must be done.
