Dan Brisse, heard of him?


My angle is being myself and acting like I would regardless of if I have an image to pull in snowboarding. I am not trying to stand out, I am having fun snowboarding and focusing on being a real dude. In my opinion there are too many snowboarders focused more on their image and standing out than their quality of snowboarding. I will probably stand out by fitting in to the “normal” category, because almost everyone wears girl pants and acts like they are homeless.

Yea Brisse. Read more...

Coming soon...

Union Binding Co website...soon. Real soon.

60 cases...really?

"Hey dude, I got 3 of your reps 60 cases of Session Premium Lager so ANYTIME they do an event they got Session Premium Lager to do it with. You cool with that?" Uhhhh yea.
Thanks Joe Neese.

Trade Show

Got a call from our rep Sweaty while I was touching up the cabin. "What are you doing???!!!" "Painting the cabin." "Stop by the Zumiez head office, I got shit HANDLED!" So Zumiez decided to flip the script this year and instead of boring the fuck out of 400 shop managers with a 30 min clinic from each brand, they had a contest. Rep / Company that had the best trade show booth and attracted the most attention, the rep got to go to the sacred 100K event in January. Now they don't allow reps there, only A list athletes and company owners, so Reps are kinda chompin at the bit to be there. Anyway...

Sweaty, doing what he does...sweating.
He brought in TJ to paint some paintings.
And some hired talent to serve beers to minors. Milo is so close to eye level with bodaciosness.
VZ Gorilla beach party steeze along with the C3 Deadliest Catch theme had other companies crapping their pants.
Specially when Sweat Dog pulled in the Gold medal and a set of green schmeebs.
Congrats Sweaty on a job well done.

Stabbin Cabin make over

Our buddy Chris gave the 700 square foot mansion in the hills a little make over. Milo and I went up to peep it and do some touch up this weekend.
Damn it looks good. Thanks Chris. Bring on winter.

Coloradical

Went there last week to hang with the Kind Bro, see shops and do a SIA meeting. In the meantime, my computer completely died at 4pm the day before I left. Then to boot, the warranty was up by 6 weeks. Came back to a completely updated machine. 4 gigs of ram, 250gigs of memory, shit I don't know how to use, but hell yea it's fast as fuck!

Calling it

I'm the president and brand manager for CAPiTA Super Corporation. I don't feel like I owe anything... Snowboarding has been my life since I was 13. I'm 35 now. It's just what I do.

Kyle Fisher

Why don’t you just use all Forum gear? Are you sponsored or something?

I get rep flow stuff from the best dude ever Dave Graves. Capita, Union, Ashbury, 686, and some hats from the dudes at Fun Hat. Johnny D will toss me a pair of gloves from Celtek once in a while. I’ve got great friends.

David Cross love

Back to the Grind

Post script from Mr. O'Toole:"Saw David Cross last night. Checked out your blog and you have a pic of him with the hoodie of death. You know he wore that on celeb poker right. I did an interview with him for Heckler (classic mag) and sent him a hat, t, and the hoodie. I guess he likes it. I was SOOO funny. He has a bit on Coors light and how they keep inventing new ways to buy the beer like the bottle that turns blue when it's cold. funny shit. I think he is due for a new hoodie. P"

Give Aways

For some reason, we've been blessed with the largest online dudes hooking us up with online contests. Sierrasnowboards has the LARGEST online community these days and when we showed up there Monday, it was their biggest online presence to date. We broke records YO! I guess that shit happens when you give away things. Like Charlie Slashers and File Jerks Custom House Union bindings. Not to mention heaps of COAL bindings. The rules of the contest was simply this: "from the likes of johans (his blog) he will be selecting the snowboard winner by some arbitrary thing that makes him laugh/puke etc. " The entrys were awesome and here's the winners.

Fourth place was a doctored image of Shawn Palmer from 1991 Breckenridge World Championships riding what he should of won on.
Third place was a custom cake brought in from Jeffsosavy and his chick ste_funny.
Second place stepped things up a bit and took note from previous Porn Form entrys. Peep the Pac Army sticker. Yea Shredbetty.
And the winner was this dude Krazylegz that turned in this charmer to the chat room but sent me one with his "girlfriend" demo'n this bad boy. Winner winner chicken dinner.

On top of that there was this late entry of this dude BboyTommy that spent some time watching the C3-Superpro clinic vids then proceeded to clown the hell out of me with this.


All in all, stoked to have been part of it.

Tah Hoe

Could the Nor Cal trip get any better? Yes they can. Lake surfing on Boca with the Porter's bro's. We took Chappys monster Malibu boat to the ressy for a late afternoon pull. His 3/4 Ton truck was being used by Pops so we had his Infinite SUV to get us there. After an hour or so of filling the sacs and figuring shit out, we were soaking in the suds and surf.
Chipples rode that shit backside and had a snap that would make Andy Irons proud.
About to get barrelled. Not really but...a good photo. Cept for that shit hanging over my shorts.
I keep forgetting this guys name, he's real important in the Porters Tahoe organization too. Let's just call him "Hey Dude." Hey dude fucking ripped behind the boat. I was floored. On top of that, Hey Dude's running a marathon in a week or so.
Ahhh beautiful sunset huh? Yea, well we were just pulling back to the mini SUV and trailer at this photo. Then things went south. Mini luxury SUV couldn't get Monster Wake boat out of the water. I had 10 beers in me and was given the task of putting it in gear and flooring the gas pedal in an attempt of getting boat and truck out of the lake. Ole Pops is gonna need a tranny soon I think. Actually I know he is. Shhhhhh.
From lake to dinner, then to an empty bar we went. And met up with THIS. Not a her, but a this! THIS is a 17 and 0 professional women's boxer that was completely housed. She crawled out of a crack in the wall when we came in and proceeded to entertain the crew that evening. "Yo man, you don't know who I am? Man you need to Google my ass!" What ever, I have and couldn't find anything on her but at least she held true to her tee shirt. High Maintenance.

Milo home cooking

From Sacto to Lafayette to see the Milo boys. Rad-Am had a little something something planned for us. Home cooking along with the family's wine. To say that having homey spend a day and a half preparing the dinner was over the top is one thing. But then add in the fact that he had his parents host the dinner while "donating" a half dozen or so bottles of the vino AND insist it be served on fine China IS considered over the top. At least in my book it is.

Doorway to heaven.
The nice dinner is going a bit south here.
Lights out. Finished the wine and moved on to "one more" Tecate. Tonto wasn't even there.
Thanks Cuco, Katy and Adam Garcia for one of the nicest dinners ever.

Crapper Critic...round 2

Roll into to Nor Cally on Monday morning. Get picked up and whisked to the Sierrasnowboards shop for this big ass giveaway. Got to take a quick squirt before the gig and....this is what I walk into. Now last year when I was here, I guess people took notice to me not digging ANYTHING about their bathroom. This year the Critic doesn't need to critique. Anytime you go in for a number one and end up sitting down for a number two, you know things are gonna be comfy. But for the hell of it, lets rate this shit.
Cleanliness of bowl – 10, you could drink out of it.
Softness of asswipes – 10, they had some Charmin or something like that.
Reading material quality – 9, Finally Legal is in no way a 10, but much better than "Over 40." Plus they had a current issue of Snowboard Mag to back it up.
Reading room space – 10! I could really spread out in there.
Beat material present? 10. Present and accounted for.
Extras (hand soap, towels, potpourri, candles, air freshener) – 10, a bottle of booze? Hells yea.
Overall rating (10 is tops, 1 is shit) A solid 9.75. The highest Crapper Critic rating to date.

Just say no

I've gone from hating everything and anything about Facebook, to enjoying being on the sidelines. People rehashing storys like this are part of the reason:
"Jason was having a party at his house and you said "Piper come into the bedroom, there's a surprise for you" so I go and you and someone else I don't remember had laid out lines of "cocaine" out. You ask me if I want to do a line, I said sure. I realized very quickly you had laid out flour. You thought that was the funniest shit EVER! I was so mad, it made glue in my sinuses and I had a sinus infection for weeks. That was the last time I ever did "coke" or any other drug. Thanks. Haha!"
