The moment has finally arrived and I’ll be making my way down to the SIA Snow Show in Denver, Colorado.  Even though it begins tomorrow at 9am, I’m happy to head down early today to check into my hotel room and get the fun started the right way.  What you’ll see is 6 whirlwind days [...]

As a blogger I never expected to be recognized by snowboard media but every time that I meet the writers/editors that helped shape snowboarding I am taken aback that they know of the site.  Last month, Espn.com’s Colin Whyte approached me about doing a Q & A about shayboarder.com and I was really honored to [...]

When it came to deciding what the next quote stickers would be for shayboarder.com, I asked you guys for ideas.  Over a week has gone by with plenty of ideas being thrown around on facebook, emails and the post comments.  I used my panel of judges aka friends to help narrow it down and then [...]

For the past couple months I’ve been mailing out shayboarder.com die cuts to every reader who wanted them.  These stickers have made their way around the world, from snowboards to signs, from resorts to cities.  I’m on my third order of stickers and now it’s your turn to tell me what you would like and [...]
