Whether you agree with Nike being part of snowboarding or not…they are a company that makes snowboard products.  I briefly looked at them during SIA, met Bobby face to face and definitely think that Nike has worked to make their snowboarding products better for 09-10.

I had the opportunity to spend Saturday on snow taking photos and video with the SOS (Snowboard Outreach Society) of Steamboat. SOS is a non-profit organization that relies on volunteers to build character and self-esteem in youth. The best part is they do it through snowboarding, giving the chance for kids to learn how to [...]

When I was at SIA I had the opportunity to meet Brenton Woo, the man behind Automaton Snowboards. I had heard of the snowboards but never got familiarized with them or knew too much about them. It was good I met him cause now I get to share the 09-10 Automaton line with you and [...]
