We finally decided to update our Freebord evolution wall, and hung up bords with the Alpha and G3 trucks.
Some of these boards never really worked right, according to Steen. But others weren’t so bad – check out this video from the vault of Bomze and Sean Ferry riding one of the early prototypes that we have on the wall:
Yeah, they’re actually riding this:
And they make it look fucking good…
Snowboard in the morning, Freebord in the afternoon – the best of both worlds at the first ever, soon to be epic Freebord Summer Camp.
We’re taking reservations now for Summer 2010 – €600 for six days, all expenses paid to shred some of the most beautiful mountains in the world at the 2 Alps ski resort in France. Price includes a six-day ski pass, activities, coaching, and full accommodation in a three star hotel.
The Freebord Summer Camp will take place the week of the 10th-17th July, 2010. Space is limited for this first year, so don’t wait to book – you will not want to miss out on this!

Cameos from a bunch of Freebord heads, including a nice long shot of John working double time on some hardware packs. Thanks Jim, Vince, Rob and Steen!
…Are we blowing up yet?
…finally decided to drive the street view car down Irwin and got a few shots of the Freebord Factory. The Bean, FJ, Vino and Mazda all made it in the snap… represent!
Illicit Snowboarding blog has an interesting post on the money trail in the snowboarding industry, and which corporations own what brands.
The idea for this came from the forum on Yobeat and some lad called Andrew Nagel, aka ‘GnarBuckets’… Anyway this article answers GnarBuckets question “I was wondering if any one could update it and add other companies that are now in snowboarding and what not and just every one give there 2 cents on this.”
And to answer the first part of Mr Buckets question here is something we just drew up and are going to call a ‘Piste Map’, showing which corporations own the brands in 2010. (click to enlarge)
Some crazy shit right there… if we were on this map we’d probably be the poor kids trying to sneak onto the lifts without passes. So core man…
Snow’s still falling and the mountains are calling… happy shredding everyone
You know you’ve made it big time when TV clip shows that air Saturday afternoons on the CW start hitting you up for your videos.
Then you get ragged on by a fat guy for not having any “strategy”. Sweet, thanks Smash Cuts…
