This event does takes place the day after the busiest retail shopping day of the year, so not quite sure at this point if all us shop heads will be able to make it.... :( We are a store, and do need to keep some of the cream of the crop employees in the shop to help customers get their gear for the season!!! But we will do our best to come show some support to the Rome crew!!!!

Mark Dangler.
Likes oatmeal cookies, lobsters from Maine, and gettin the shot.
This edit is living proof of what getting the shot is all about. Whether it's fun with your friends, major comps, or just a day out playing in the snow on some rails. One thing I think always makes for a good edit, or I should say a great edit, is when you feel "that" feeling. You know, the one that gets you all tingly inside when it's 90 degrees out and not snowing. Just because you're able to get stoked on watching someone else kill it on a snowboard. The feeling that makes you remember exactly what it's like to hear your board against a rail, chattering against east coast ice, or the sound of slashing snow at a good friend. The feeling you get when you fall and fall and fall, and keep on getting right back up for more. Sometimes with the positive encouragement of your crew, which may be through words or completely unspoken. The feeling and vibe you get that can't really be described wholly with words, because sometimes there is no words to describe it. It's something you feel. A good feeling.
When film provides the opportunity to harness that feeling, it's a visual to make you remember.
Remembering and interpreting what it's like to experience, whether it's through your own or those of others. And how watching those experiences of others can make you want to live them first hand and see what it's like for yourself. Video is a blessing because it allows the opportunity to see what others are experiencing for themselves, and in a sense, live through their moments. That's when you know something is good, when it inspires you to want to harness that good feeling for yourself. Anything that makes you want to go out and "get it" can't be a bad thing, right? Or if it just brings a smile, grin, and a reminisce.
OR
It could just be as simple as watching a sweet snowboard edit that makes you want to go shred.
Take it for whatever you want it to be, and enjoy this edit of some of Mark Dangler's best shots from the 07-08 season.

That's It, That's All.
In random conversation last night with some snowboard friends. This video came up...and all it's epicness.
There is just something about slow motion and big ass mountains and features that makes you want to go "OH YEAH!".
Watching that trailer is like a giant tease, it's like the buildup never ends, haha.
As like with EVERY other video out there, it's just like movie theater trailers, sometimes the trailer is excellent and the whole movie sucks. You never know until you see the full length.
This season should be an interesting season for videos, since there are like 594 different ones coming out. If there's anything that's struck your fancy, let us know! We'd love to hear what you're all anticipating.
Here's the link to earlier in the season's blog post with many trailers: HERE
Adventure through the blog, I'm sure there are others. The Gnar Wars and Hurts So Good teasers are both pretty hilarious.

Absinthe Films, "Ready".
This one is for all you local Western NYers who think the biggest thing in snowboarding is the battleship rail at your local hill. Not saying rails aren't super fun, because they totally are, but this video looks to be a real eye opener for those who haven't experienced the BIG stuff in snowboarding first hand.
From Absinthe Films who brought you the heavy hitter "Optimistic?" last season, "Ready" does not look like it will disappoint. It's got a nice diverse line up of riders too. Old school, new school, rail slayers, big mountain riders, and everyone in between. Just overall looks like a good snowboard video.
Especially when it seems a lot of film crews have been trending towards the street, these guys keep a good mix of everything. One vibe that was felt from "Optmistic?" that made Absinthe so appealing as a whole, was the vibe of "fun". It definitely left us feeling nice and warm and fuzzy inside. Which is why I think we have such high hopes for "Ready". When the full length drops, eyes will definitely be glued.
If you haven't had a chance to ride anything like this, open up your world, and go ride a real mountain!!! By real we mean more than 1200 vertical, haha.

Airblaster has always been one of our favorites, so go check out their site with all the new '08/'09 goodies at:
myairblaster.com
Go to the product section, so you can get first dibs on some of the outerwear we're getting in....as a teaser, a couple items we're waiting on are the Reversible, Javier, and JFF2 Pant.
STOKEDDDD!!!
We've already got in beanies, the Reversible, Seamen, and Terryclava. One in each color, so once they're gone, they will probably be gone for good. Same with the tees and hoodies. We're also waiting on a few pairs of goggles too.
Anyway, you should come check it out, cause there's some pretty sweet new stuff from a bunch of companies.
Peace!

New Newer Newest.
TONS of new stuff has arrived. So much so, that we haven't had the chance to photograph some things before they are almost gone.
The '09 Ride, Salomon and Lib Tech decks have come in.
For outerwear and streetwear, we've gotten a bunch of 686, some Sessions and Bonfire. Some really good Nomis stuff, that is all pretty exclusive and limited, once the runs are gone, they're gone.
Airblaster just started rolling in too.
Don't worry, we'll post some pics up soon of the new goodies. A lot is for guys and gals, so you all have something nice to check out when you come visit us.
Pics soon, promise. If you're too impatient in the meantime, come down and check it out firsthand.

Holy shit, this video looks epic. And the warrior battle scene music for this teaser seems to add a large amount of flair to that epicness.
Go check out Sugarshack right after you watch this, and get familiar if you aren't already. Because this is snowboarding at it's finest and it doesn't get much bigger than these guys go. And they've gone from 16mm to HD, so you can see every little detail that crosses in front of your eyeballs. Enjoy!
Thanks Sugarshack for adding new meaning to the term, killin it. Big ups Etienne!

Ride Contraband.
ONE strap?
ONE buckle?
And this binding rides good?
The answer to all three of those questions is a definitive: YESSSSSSS.
According to some shop heads and the general buzz from riders at the Stratton on-snow demo last January about the Ride contraband binding was that it rode good and felt good. It looks like a grown-up version of the Burton Freestyle Jr.....seriously, one strap, one buckle.
It definitely puts skeptics to the test, because it rides so much better than you think it would. As another rider put it, it has no toe pressure, if you like that sort of thing. All in all, a good binding for an interesting way that technology is moving.
Check it out on Ride's site: RIDE CONTRABAND BINDING
One word to sum it up for sure is, interesting. You'll just have to try it out yourself and see what you think! It really rides so freaking good, we don't think you'll be dissapointed.

Forum or Against'em.
To tell you the truth, i'm not sure if before I saw this teaser I was for them or against them. Things have changed a lot over the years at Forum. And when you look back and reminisce about the "True Life" days, it was a whole different time period than it is now.
This video might just have brought that back. We'll just have to check out the full length when that drops. But it looks to be nothing short of amazing. Especially since Peter Line and Joni Malmi have parts in it, SICK!
Keep those eyes peeled for the drop of this one in Fall of '08, it looks as though it will not dissapoint.
Peace!

GOING GREEN - Sole Tech.
Sole Technology's on a mission....for environmental conservation...which is pretty rad.
Considering that if global warming keeps going at the rate it is, snow is not going to be as abundant as it's been in the past years...which would suck for snowboarding and all snowboarders in general for the obvious reasons.
Sole Technology is the parent company for etnies, eS Footwear, Emerica, ThirtyTwo, and Altamont Apparel. So show some love and support for a company that is definitely down for the cause.
Peace!

Vonzipper + Skullcandy = Rad.
Onboard Snowboarding did a feature on this collab that is sure to have a bunch of hype next season...Skullcandy and Vonzipper two huge brands in snowboarding...
Bring themselves together to create this masterpiece:
It's just one of a series of three collabs they're doing. Pretty sick! Music, snowboarding, and now goggles, all into one. Ultimate accessories like this make completing the full kit that much easier.
Peace!

Highway to Hell.
Check this out: CLICK HERE FOR SOME SWEET POWDER AND BIG ASS TRICKS
This is the site that the above video is from: Method.tv
It has a bunch of sick vids on it...if they don't play right away, scroll to the lower right corner of the screen and look for Format, then switch from Flash to either Quick Time High or Medium quality.
Then enjoy some sick snowboarding! This bombardment of snowboard video edits has come from the fact that it is wicked warm outside, all our mountains are closed, and videos are what will get us all through the summer.
Sometimes it is questionable though, does watching snowboarding when it's warm outside make it better or worse that you can't be out riding. The answer to that questions is and always will be a double edged sword! In the meantime, enjoy the shred viewing!

Snowboarding + Music = Awesome.
So after spreading this question around, I think the verdict is in...two of the most awesome things in life are snowboarding and music...and the fact that you can combine the two, is like the freaking ultimate...
So, with that said, it seems like a lot of people who are into rocking out the jams while shredding are constantly working on, or have already found, the ultimate playlist.
This would consist of the best jams to get you in your mode when out riding. It could be high energy, mellow, smooth, funky, whatever. It is whatever you want it to be, because it's your creation. Your mash up of what are usually your fave tracks at the time, or even timeless classics.
If you haven't pondered it lately...you might want to think about it....WHAT'S ON YOUR ULTIMATE PLAYLIST?...
And if you've never created an ultimate playlist, then a good place to start is by using some of your favorite tracks from your music collection, then adding songs/albums as you go, and removing anything along the way that you aren't too fond of. Over time, you will end up taking out all the stuff you don't like, and have added all the stuff that gets you pumped. So go make a playlist, and GET PUMPED! Music and snowboarding.....ah, what a joy of life.
Peace!

Backyard Park.
So if you come to the realization that someone you know has a lot of land that just kind of chills in the winter that would be the perfect place to build a mini-park...it might not be a bad idea to hit them up and start the brainstorming...
Some thoughts to consider:
- What kind of features will it have...boxes, rails, wallride, barrels, logs, etc.
- How big are the features going to be
- Will you need a drop in ramp
- What's the angle of the ground you're building on (this will help with if you need a drop in)
- How steep should your drop in be
- Do you want lights to ride it at night (if so, is there electricity, or will you need a generator)
- How much room will you need between features
- How rideable will your whole setup be (function over fashion on this one for sure)
Those are just a few ideas that we came up with in our brainstorming ideas on building a backyard park. Other obvious things would be determining exactly what you want to build and then figuring the cost, and if you have the willpower and most importantly the brainpower to actually construct it or at least finalize a good idea of what you want to build.
Yo, don't forget, snowboarding is dangerous. So if you're into this kind of thing, don't be dumb. Do it right, and do it the way it should be done, professionally! These are just brainstorming ideas. Not a guidelines by any means.
But backyard parks are pretty sick, and when done right can give you something to ride all day and night, and everyday you can't make it to the mountain, or whenever you just wanna chill and session your own private park. So go mow some lawns and save your cash, cause summer is the time to build it!
Peace!

Old Videos Rule.
So when you're looking through your video collection looking for an actual movie and realize your snowboard video collection quite outnumbers your real movie collection...it's kind of funny. Then you also realize your roommate has a grip of snowboard videos so the selection just got doubled, sick.
Here's some classics to reminisce to...if you remember, own, or have seen some or all of these, then you have def. been around the block:
Forum - True Life
Shorty's - Team Video (anyone who even remembers this is pretty damn old school)
Mack Dawg - Simple Pleasures
KidsKnow Prod. - LoveHate
Mack Dawg - Decade
Wildcats - Diary
Some good '08 season vids:
Defective Films - Child Support
Absinthe - Optimistic?
Wildcats - Still Bastards
I don't know where you can even find some of these old vids if you don't already own them. I guess you'll just have to hit up your friends and do the trade/borrow. But be wary of that, because we have all lost many a good video that way, which totally sucks. So share with care, and spread the love of snowboarding. Both new and old vids, there are SO many good ones out there!

Support Rochester.
There is a huge difference between shopping at a local business in comparison to your large nationwide chain store. Here are some of those differences:
Chain Store:
- Your purchase means more money for that company/organization
- Their headquarters is probably based far far away (it's def. not in Rochester) which means money their company puts back into the community (if they do give back) does not and will not have any affect on your every day life
- Basically just sells whatever is sent to their store from their headquarters
- Will never have the capacity to throw as many local events as a local business, things like skateboard events, snowboard events, bmx events, contests, fun jams, and so much other stuff, when's the last time you saw a huge corporate store REGULARLY throwing events in Rochester? It doesn't happen, that's why...
Local Business:
- Your purchase means supporting your local community, which allows those local businesses to give back to the local community, instead of a nationwide chain which is not focused on this
- The headquarters home city is Rochester or very close-by, which is also your home...which means those local businesses are able to put right back into the community what is given to their store through donations to local charity organizations, events, and focusing directly on things that impact you and your life
- Sells what the local customer wants and requests, from specific brands down to specific items, and is able to bring in more niche/core brands, things that are more exclusive, that a large chain store might not even be able to carry
- Can throw community events on a regular basis, and use the community's input to determine what and how those events go down, basically that means YOU the customer, friend, bro, shop kid, whatever, can help have a say in what happens in regards to the events in your community. Sometimes it just takes speaking up, hanging out, or shopping at that local business and giving your input that way, don't ever underestimate your voice...especially locally...
Do your part:
Some places and ways you can support the local community are by checking out/shopping at some of the following locally owned businesses, they're all pretty darn awesome:
- Thread
- Krudco
- Transitions (reopens in August)
- Godiva's
- Nook
- Snow Ski & Board (reopens in August)
- Sol Burrito
- Rustbelt Skateboards
- The Ski Company Mtn. Sports (reopens in August)
- Starry Nights Cafe
- Bodhi's Cafe & Lounge
- California Rollin
There are soooo many others, that's just a few to give you an idea. So get out and go support the locals! Hit us up if you're curious about ways you personally can get involved and give back to the local community, just FYI, there's a freaking ton of ways, word!

"Sponsor Me!"
If there was a dollar for every time a shop heard that statement, we would all be ridiculously rich. The truth of the matter is...there's a lot that goes into a shop sponsorship, and the levels after that (if you're driven enough to push through the struggles...) which is AM and then PRO sponsorship. If you want it bad enough, it goes a little something like this...
1. Start small
- First, get pretty decently good at snowboarding, this is key
- Second, this might actually come before getting good at riding, but hit up your first ever main sponsors, Mom and Dad, or the equivalent, to help you out, because they should be the ones who will always back you through the years, more than just financial support, because you'll need the emotional support of your family and friends if you're really trying to get to the next level
- Third, be ready to fail, a lot, and learn in this process that you can't give up, ever
2. Get Bigger
- Literally, once you start progressing, try everything, then try doing it bigger
- While going bigger, stay clean, no sloppy big tricks, clean tight tricks are way better, don't ever forget that
- If you're serious about sponsorship, you're gonna need a video edit, or more accurately your "Sponsor Me" video, get a camera and a friend who wants to film, and take that thing everywhere and film your every move on a board, and heck maybe even off of it too, everyone needs some good lifestyle shots
- Present your "Sponsor Me" video to your local shop and wait, you might not get anything at first, but if they see you're serious about what you're doing, it could just be a matter of time
3. Get even bigger
- You're gonna need to get your name out there if you do get sponsored by a shop, so you better get ready to compete...chances are if you got sponsored then you're probably already riding at this level, but you might still need some mental preparation...competition is a whole different level of riding in itself
- Stay humble, just cause you're sponsored, or a really good rider, doesn't mean that your better than anyone, start thinking that way, and you're bound to lose more than you'll gain
- HAVE FUN, snowboarding is and always has been about fun, if you forget that or lose it along the way...you might as well just hang up your shred stick
That's it for now...stay tuned for a later version that might dig a little deeper to the AM and PRO level...
Hope this helped you little shralpers get an idea of what you need to do!
Now write those video ideas down so you don't forget and get out there early next season and kill it! Film, edit, and drop to your shops to see what happens...you never know...
Peace!

Now write those video ideas down so you don't forget and get out there early next season and kill it! Film, edit, and drop to your shops to see what happens...you never know...
Peace!

Airblaster's April.
Hands down, this video is sick...
With guys like Travis Parker, TJ Schneider, Ricky Hower, Tim Eddy, Nick Dirks, and a bunch of other amazing riders, you really can't go wrong.
Extreme tweaking jib freaks who shred hard are a few words that could describe the Airblaster team, but all in all, the best one word description is: SICK!
Do whatever you can to get your little eyeballs to witness "April" in it's entirety, cause you won't be disappointed. Oh yeah, and there's some sweet edits on the video from HCSC (High Cascade Snowboard Camp) and Magical Go-Go too.
Peace!

Hello Spring.
The winter season has come to an end, and we have closed our doors for the summer...but don't worry, we'll reopen them in August with a ton of crazy things going on next season. We've got some new brands coming in next year, from some really awesome companies such as:
- Omatic
- Stepchild
- Skullcandy
- IS Design Goggles
- Celtek
There are a few big events that will be happening early next season with some buzz of attendance of pro-riders, huuuuge sales, free schwag and giveaways, and a bunch of other good stuff. Oh yeah, and Rochester, look out cause the "Dome Sale" is back and will be bigger than ever. Stay tuned for all the details you'll ever need.
Bookmark this page, write it in sharpie on your arm, get it tattooed on you, because it's gonna be the source for all you shred heads to stay in the loop of what's goin down in the Rochester and Syracuse snowboard community, and tons of other fun stuff going on in the shred world.
Peace! And get off your bum and go ride a bike or something, spring has sprung!
