Just got back home from a trip to Sao Paulo Brazil. Spent a week down there, enjoying life, and getting some things done. I’m busy making appointments for the upcoming SIA show, and getting some reviews and articles organized.

So the buzz is happening already, people are getting stoked, for SIA is hitting Denver this year. The great thing about this year is I don’t have to travel to hit up SIA. It’s in my backyard here in Colorado. I’ve started setting up appointments to check out various products, and plan on exploring what availability is for bigger riders in as many areas as I can find. I’ll be posting live from the show, and updating twitter feeds as well. If there is anything specific you’re wanting to know about, definitely let me know. Shoot me an email, or leave a comment etc. I’ll try to get around to as much as possible.

Outerwear choices are plenty for most people, but for us bigger guys, it can be rather hard to find a jacket that fits properly in all areas. This year I decided to check out what 686 was offering. 686 has a reputation for having a bigger fit with their outerwear, and of course a great reputation for design and quality. I picked up the 686 Smarty Command Jacket in Cyan in size XXL, as it’s one of only a few jacket designs available in XXL from 686 this year.

We’ve finally been blessed with more snow here in CO, and the resorts are starting to open more terrain. I’ve spent quite a bit of time out on the snow trying out gear, and enjoying time with friends and family. Read the rest of this entry »

A lot of good things have graced us here locally in Colorado, and I’m lucky enough to live not too far from some of them. The Dew Tour is currently in Breckenridge CO, and I managed to stop by both yesterday and today for the sites, competitions, friends and fun.

One of my good friends.. Shannon from over at www.shayboarder.com just had her board and bindings stolen out of her vehicle. Please check out the following link HERE for more information. Unfortunately board thefts happen, and are a horrible, downright depressing event. People work hard to purchase their gear, and it’s completely uncool of other people to think they have the right to simply steal someones gear.

Flow is well known for their bindings, but perhaps not as well known for their boots. I picked up a pair of “The One” boots in black/purple in size 12 to give em a spin, and here are some initial impressions.

Sorry all, a lot has been going on, and I do have several reviews coming up. Looks like I’ll be adding the Flow Team bindings to the review list this year, as well as Union bindings. I’ll also be putting up some photos from the 720 Snowboard team and their various comps. So yeah, I’m still alive, and shredding away. Also have jacket reviews coming up on 686 Smarty, Manual, and Helly Hansen jackets.
Stay tuned…

Bluebird, one of my favorite companies is throwing down a pretty sick deal. If you purchase over $20 from their store, they’ll throw in a free Bluebird T-shirt. If you’re looking for some wax, then look no further than Bluebird!!! Go support the boys from Bluebird!

I’ve heard numerous people tell me how much they enjoy the GNU Park Pickle. I decided to take the board out myself and give it a spin. I picked up a 156W Pickle on the advice of a good friend. The Pickle is one of the Transworld Good Wood winners for boards over $400, and also has a Platinum Pick Design Award from Snowboard Magazine.
