Radford, Virginia Represent

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Justin Oliver kicked off the East coast portion of Freebord’s Represent tour last weekend by hosting the 3rd annual East coast ride at his house in Radford, VA. We had a nice turnout with riders coming from as far away as Richmond, Maryland, and even one from Wisconsin. Props to everyone that came out and keep an eye out for more upcoming East coast Represent stops.

French Team week

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Besides coaching Freebord at Burton Snowboard Camps, Arnaud has invited the french ripping riders in Les 2 Alpes for filming and chilling. We met local riders and rode the craziest hills of the Alps.
As editing the tons of footage will take another few days, we’ll leave you with some pictures for now.
