					<description><![CDATA[Over the past 10 years, evo has gone from online shop to brick &#8216;n mortar to becoming more than just a snowboard shop. Over the years evo has hosted many ski/snowboard film premieres, art exhibits in the gallery and many other fun events. When I lived in Seattle, evo was my local shop and it&#8217;s been tremendous to see them hit their 10 year anniversary (and many more to come). If you are near Seattle, I highly recommend supporting evo in their 10 year celebration next Friday. They know how to party and it&#8217;ll be a damn good time with a great crew of people. I won&#8217;t be able to make the trek up for the event but I hope many others do. To buy tickets for the party, go here and to check out the facebook invite, head here.]]></description>

I wanted to give it a shot, so I bought a board. I thought it’d be a good idea to go out a few times before riding with him, and I also thought the best way to learn would be to go to the top and point down. I mean, I’d skied since I was 8 so I didn’t think it’d be that hard. I was wrong. I was so beat up and pissed off by the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When it comes to purchasing snowboard gear every customer decides where and who they will shop from and support.  During the past couple years snowboard shops hit rough times with the economy, fighting to stay alive and had to work even harder to keep customers coming back.  One shop in particular became well aware of just how important customer service and how consumer feedback can be to one company. I had watched Tightboards back in the days of snowboard.com when customers would complain about their customer service, return policy and online inventory having issues but Tightboards managed to rise from the ashes and rebuild a revival before crumbling. I caught up with Luke Dodson from Tightboards to find out what they&#8217;ve done to regain their online presence, changes to improve their customer service and online inventory and what&#8217;s in store for the future. [singlepic id=10034 w=400 h=252 float=] Shay: One of the biggest complaints that Tightboards had was the return policy and customer service. What improvements and changes has Tightboards made to improve shopping for customers? In the past, Tightboards was managed by a 3rd party company that suffered from the downturn and chose a return policy that was not [&#8230;]]]></description>

In a nutshell, I just like to have a good time and enjoy life via good friends, the outdoors, my camera, music (listening and making my own), my snowboard, and anything else that might join in along the way.

					<description><![CDATA[What began as an online shop in 2001, evo then expanded to become a brick and mortar shop with a retail location in Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, Washington where they bring a venue, retail space and art gallery into one building seamlessly.  Years later they continue to offer their services online or in person with quality products and services.  They aren&#8217;t your typical snowboard shop and it&#8217;s clear once you step into the doors of evo that you&#8217;ve entered into a shop where the employees work as a team and the company believes in building a community around sport and art. evo was my snowboard shop when I lived in Seattle and despite moving thousands of miles away, they continue to be a shop I support because of the people behind the company and the personality they bring to snowboarding.  They bring as much community involvement to their events and galleries that you wish you could fly out just to be part of it. [singlepic id=8313 w=400 h=267 float=] Outside of the store is the billboard that evo uses to update on events, sales and general store info for passer-by&#8217;s.
