Local: Movies on the Rocks!
I 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!

Thoughts: NS Legacy vs Heritage X
Two heavy weights hit the floor, which one takes it all? Well it's not exactly a fight, but I've had a lot of people asking me about which board would be better, the Legacy, or the Heritage X. I wanted to take a minute or so of your time (maybe more like ten minutes) and talk about the differences between the two boards, to perhaps provide some clarity for all you riders torn between the two boards.
Thoughts: Never Summer’s New Core
People love stigmas. They love to hold onto stories, and beliefs they believe to be true, regardless of whether they are or not.. or so it would appear. It's not uncommon in our industry for people to tell you Flow bindings are heavy, even though the newer models are actually quite light weight, or that boards are heavy because that's all they've ever heard. Such is the case with Never Summer.
On the Road…
I'm out in Las Vegas currently, and will be road tripping around for the next few weeks. I'm actively working on a few reviews, and articles to update the site. While I may not update the site as much over the next two and a half weeks, I'm still working on new content. I just may not have reliable internet access as I'm traveling. I am however getting really stoked on the upcoming premiers this season. I always enjoy hitting the premiers with a bunch of friends, it's a great way to bridge the last part of summer and get hyped up for riding again. I rode through June of this year, so I'm not too bad off, but I know some people haven't been on a board since April or so, and I don't think I could live with that itch. 
Premiers provide that avenue, that release and excitement factor of watching everyone throw down. Are you guys stoked to catch any premiers, or is there any one video/shoot coming out that you're excited about?
Review: ’10-’11 Never Summer Revolver
One of the last boards I reviewed from Never Summer this year was the Revolver. I own the '09-'10 model of this board, and honestly didn't feel there was too much different between '09-'10 and '10-'11 models. I rode the Revolver with Flow NXT FSE XL bindings, Union Contact L/XL bindings as well as the Flow "The One" boots in size 12. The Revolver is Never Summers mid-wide/wide version of the ever so popular park/freestyle deck, the EVO. On thing I absolutely love about Never Summer is they always provide excellent board sizes to accommodate larger riders.

Thoughts: What Boards/Gear Are YOU Most Interested In?
As the summer continues on, my work on this seasons reviews is ongoing. I'm making a list of the must ride boards/bindings etc, but really wanted to know what you all out there on the internet are interested in. There are numerous mid-wide/wide boards available, and while I hope to ride and check out as many as I can, it's always nice to get feedback on what gear you all want to know more about. So with that being said, feel free to comment, or email me with your thoughts on what you're interested in seeing. I'm planning on demoing at least 20-40 boards this coming season for reviews, and am getting all ramped up for fall/winter.
Think Snow!
Local: SuperPark Showdown: SixEleven Prod. vs Matt Roberge
It's getting close to that time of year, where premiers are coming up, and videos edits are being finalized. Sure, it's still hot outside, but let's think snow just for a bit eh. Snowboardermag.com has a video shootout or "showdown" between SixEleven Productions, and Matt Roberge. SixEleven being a local company for me, gains much respect, and love, but alas, it's up to you the reader to head over and decide which video moves forward. Both videos are well shot, and fun to watch, so the choice is a bit hard.

Local: Happy Fourth of July!!
Hey everyone,
I've been out on the road traveling, so it's nice to finally be back home. Vegas was fun, but way too hot, and I never seem to get enough sleep out there. I wanted to wish all of you guys a Happy Fourth! Be safe out there, and have a great one!
Local: Rock the Railbender
This past weekend 720 Boardshop hosted it's annual "Rock The Railbender" skate competition and festival in Parker CO. If you're not familiar with it, essentially it's a collective festival, put together by 720 Boardshop, The Chris Klug foundation and more, hosting Skate competitions, live music, food, and fun.
Review: ’10-’11 Heritage X
Of all the boards in the Never Summer lineup, I believe the Heritage can be considered the most interesting. Most people have a "love it" or "hate it" attitude towards the Heritage, but I think those days are now gone. With the introduction of the 2011 Heritage and the Carbonium tech, Never Summer has take a board that was once considered "cumbersome" to ride by some, and turned it into a pure freestyle machine.
Cabonium!
