Good Ole Vid


Blue Mont circa the mid 90's. Whitehouse snowboards??? Really?

SCOTT STEVENS SHREDS WORLD'S FIRST ULTRAFEAR FK SNOWBOARD


Seattle, Washington - July 30th, 2009 - CAPiTA Snowboarding is pleased to announce that Scott Stevens is seriously bad ass at snowboarding.

The THINK THANK video star turned TRANSWORLD video shred has been at Mt. Hood Oregon all summer coaching for High Cascade Snowboard Camp and playing S.K.A.T.E. with campers.

In fact, a recent High Cascade brand report stated that, "Scott Stevens should be considered golden." We think so too, that's why we sent him the world's first ULTRAFEAR FK.

This very limited snowboard is shaped like the reverse camber jib machine known as the HORRORSCOPE FK but with an upgraded EXTREME construction. This new framework includes a Wax Infused Sintered Speed Base, 1.5mm Rubber Edge Dampening System, Dual Species Select Core, and other elements of radness.

How limited? At this point, two shred dogs have them: Scott Stevens and Cale Zima. Two summer camps have them in the demo room: HCSC and Windells. And only two shops have been shipped a total of 18 boards to be sold as of this release: Porter's Tahoe, and Milo Lafayette.

Roughly 30 more boards will go out in the next two weeks to a couple of our best shops including Eternal, BC Surf and Sport and others to be announced. Get 'em while they're hot kids. The next shipment will not arrive until the fall; they're a very limited number and most are pre sold.

CAPiTA's Brand Manager Blue Montgomery claims, "This board is the shit. Talk about value, every graphic in the entire collection designed into one board! It's so rad, I'm strapped into the 155 while I am sitting at my desk right now!!"

Scott Stevens currently rides for CAPiTA, Union, Volcom, Magical Go-Go, Smith, Coal Headwear, Deeluxe, Skull Candy, Dekine and Theory Skateshop. He's on CAPiTA Super Corporation's professional snowboarding roster along with Dustin Craven, Dan Brisse, TJ Schneider, and Laura Hadar. Follow their every move on Twitter.

Yeah right


Our buddy T-Bone just did a 10 week class on Bikrum Yoga. Now he's "officially Bikrum" and can teach that shit anywhere. He's had all these pictures on Facebook and it's been pretty cool watching his transformation. And I got to admit, sometimes it looks like it would be good for you.

Till this photo. Hell no dude.

NO.

New Stabbin Cabin addition

Gums and I snuck up there last week. Told the wife I was going to help him on his property with something but wanted to get this 6ft monster on the wall so when we rolled up there next I could surprise her with a "happy anniversary!" But that didn't pan out too well when I turned on the computer last night at home and this was my screensaver. The 6 year old was sitting next to me and screamed out "HOLY CRAP DAD, what the heck is that?" The little deer is from my buddy Rob who found us the cabin. The Elk was kindly donated by the HOUSE owner Jon Mag and the Gnu was shot by D.Rahlves.

Powersliding


I'm taking this up.

Windell's

Last Thursday around noon I got a wild hair across my ass that it was time to do a Hood trip with the little guy. I had been promising it to him for a couple of years but never delivered. Blue is in Europe but I emailed him about hook ups and in no time we had passes at Windells and High Cascade. Friday came, threw the snowboards and gear in the car, along with two pillows and a couple of sleeping bags and off we went. Sunday reared it's ugly head and work was a day away, so we had to call in saying that I felt to well to come into work and needed another day in paradise. Tears were in Milo's eyes as we left.

5 and a half hours to do a normal three hour run in this heat started the trip.
Arrived at Windells at 8ish, just in time for the kid to skate a bit.
Sleeping quarters on the front yard of Tim Windells house.
Danny and Milo. Dingoless too.
Snowboarder Mag was holding the Next Top Pro Model Contest. We watched highest ollie, longest rail and spin to win. Kept hearing the pro's say, "I wish all contests were like this." The Snowboarder dudes put on a fine showing.
MFM on the 100ft rail.
TJ and lil guy. Hands down the highlight for Milo, to shred and skate with TJ. The dude is pretty damn good with the chitlins.
Pro's and Bro's after the Snowboarder contest.
Austin Hiranaka has some juice on the big boy jumps at Windells. These things made Greenlakes jumps look like pussy bumps. It was surprising to see Austin, Scott Blum and Joe Bosler from Stevens Pass send it off these things.
Two words...FOAM PIT.
First handplant. Landed after 30 tries.
Fun laps at High Cascade.
In conclusion...with places like Windells, Disney Land should go out of business.

Gat Tee


One of the best fights EVER. RIP Gatti.

Sea Skate

2.2Million skate plaza. Concrete on top of Styrofoam, on top of the Key Arena. Pretty rad. Well it better be for 2.2, considering Greenlake was 1.2 and 5 times the size.

Dad is this ole school?


Yep.

Garcia


We love visitors. Rad Am Garcia from Milo Lafayette came bearing gifts and this custom one off single speed scary jersey. Thanks Radam.

Swim Meat

A couple kits from the last two swim meets. Ass Tound Ing.

This pink button down shirt combo'd with the glasses kills me. Throw in a 45 year old tanned bat with blue velour jump suit and your nothing but money. "Thumbs up son! Bitch, get me my gin and tonic!"
Pinky Tuscadero.

Warranty?

Our buddy Jeff's shop Scene 3 burnt down a couple weeks ago. Got this from him today.

Hey,
Just wanted to send along a couple pics of what is left after our shop burned down. The board and bindings didn't fair so well, but the extruded aluminum heel cup was fine. Can I warranty the rest of the board? Just kidding. We will be reopening towards the beginning of August in our new location at,
1415 Kemper Street
Lynchburg VA 24551

Valid?

How not to get busted for drinking and driving

“I mean seriously, WHO doesn’t drink and drive? I know you’re not supposed too and a $20 cab ride home after a couple beers sounds good and all but if I took a cab every time I had beers, I would have spent well over $20,000 by now. My cousin is a prosecuting attorney and he told me these simple steps for having a better chance of not getting a DUI.”
The past two days on MSN news has been headlines on drunk drivers. Dude caught without his pants and that texting is more dangerous than driving drunk articles. Well I was chatting with my sauce buddy Tonto about it and he happened to throw out these drunk driving tidbits that were so good that they had to be passed on. One More Tonto offered up these steps to follow in case of the blue and reds flashing behind you. Obviously, don’t drink and drive. You should already know this, but in case your stupid…and should you ignore the #1 rule follow these steps:
1. Don’t chat with the officer. Answer the questions with minimal conversation. When asked how many drinks you’ve had, answer “I’m not comfortable with answering that question.” Don’t elaborate or nothing. Keep your calm also. It’s most likely going to be a long night so hang tuff and keep your cool.
2. After you get pulled over, NEVER EVER take the mobility test. EVER! This is a voluntary test even though they will try to talk you into it, tell the cop “I’m not comfortable doing your test.” No sober person could pass this test so what makes you think that you can now? Don’t do it.
3. When the cop asks you to take a breathalyzer at the scene of the bust, only take it IF you’ve had 2 or less beers. 2 or less and you will blow below the limit and Mr. Cop has two choices, let you go or take you in to the station. If you get pulled in, big deal he’s got nothing on you and your slightly inconvienced plus got to pay for the impounding of your car = cheaper than a DUI that he’d nail you with if you took the mobility test because NO ONE can pass them.
4. If you’ve had 3 or more beers, refuse the test and get hauled to the station. Once there take the test at the station. This shows the jury/judge that you are cooperative. Also ask to speak to a lawyer. Even if you blow badly, a good lawyer will argue calibration, temperature at time of test, testing procedure and that you were cooperative and had nothing to hide. They’re machine was bad, not you.
5. Never put a penny in your mouth, peanut butter or chew a bunch of gum before the cop rolls up to the vehicle. This is evidence against you that you’re hiding something. Your not fooling anyone with that sweet Budweiser smelling breath anyway.

Remember, it’s you against them. They are building a case against you trying to have enough evidence that your ham salad and uncooperative. Your job is to avoid the traps, be cooperative and take the one test at the plexiglass hotel that can be disputed. Mr. Prosecutor tells One More Tonto that in most cases that he’s tried with these circumstances the majority of people got let off. Charged with a lawyer of course, spent a night in the pen, paid car impound fee’s and what not, but got off.

Still, a wise man once said at a company party “you can expense a cab ride home, but you can’t expense a DUI.” And a $20 cab ride still sounds cheaper, safer and easier than the above but...

My 6 year old came out of the closet!

He asked for Rollerblades this morning.
I will be divorced if his mother buys them for him.

Can ah dah

C3 Summer Sales meeting was last week. It got off to a rocky DUI start but things got fun once we got over the boarder. BTW, what the fuck Canada? Why the hell do you make it so God Damn hard to do business, spend money, vacation, what ever in your cunt tree? It's easier for Mexicans to sneak into the USA than it is for money spending Americans to get into your joint. Maybe South Park was right?

First stop was our partners No Limits.
The place is "sponsored" by Kohler for fixtures and Canadian brewed Coors Light for bappa's!
Canadian Space Needle.
Then off for a quick hello to Super Champion.
Mr. Lepore was very busy. "Man, being a pro shred doesn't sound like such a hard job these days!"
Finally we got to the Alpine Lodge that was 24 beds, 3 floors and sauna/jacuzzi packed full of comfort.
Beers on the deck.
Which led to a mellow 7 hour "Sales Meeting" the next day.
Chris had some boarder trouble but still managed to be there thanks to the world wide web.
Then off to the glacier the next day for a shred courtesy of the the Camp of Champs.
Group shot.
Jumps I rode around. Knee felt good though. Not that good though.
T-Bar that mangles your T-Bag.
Company heads were up there in force. Sean Genovese/DWD, Sean Johnson/Step Child and Max Jenke/Endevour were all up there getting done during Canada Day.
Pro shreds were there in force too. JP, Simone, Sexton, TJ, Brisse, Torstien, MFR all were getting busy.
Torstein Spinamo
Brisse Burgler
TJWhile up there, we took the opportunity to film the last C3-Superpro Clinic video's.
Hot Karl is from Montreal. His French English clinic is going to be quite interesting. "I so stoke on dis board!"
Bears under the lifts. A dude was hiking up 50 yards away too. We tried to warn him but he was like "yea and I'm sure you just saw it fighting a couger. Ha ha ha." Stupid ass, I hope he got mauled.Broadwell said he didn't get the "you need sunscreen" memo.
JF Pelchat showed up for the after shred party and unimpressed everyone. Graves was heard saying the next day "FUCK that guy!"
By the shots that were on my camera, apparently we had a party. I woke up in the top floor room, fully clothed, sneakers on, no covers over me and my hat on the pillow.
Finally back in the You Ess Ay!
Where Skyler missed his flight and had to skate the mini with Milo.
The end.
