Shawn WHAT?

Homey's got some pretty good momentum going on these days. The Playboy interview is sick, then he's like top 51 athlete in Businessweeks top 100. On top of that, he's got some douche going around pretending to be him. But none of these clowns have a picture of themselfs wearing the Oh-Limp-Dick half pipe bib NUMBER 1 signed by the man himself. FUCK YEA BRO!

Friday March 5th

Hey Kids,
Next Friday March 5th at EVO’s Times Infinity gallery, the Savage Beast, exceptionally happy/former c3 warehouse employee Tom, and I are having an art show… see attached flyer…
We’d be stoked if you guys could make it through – Johan, bring your faggot fit jeans, as they’re mandatory when looking at art…
And yes, there will be beer.
Bring your friends, and your friends’ friends.

16" at Strap On???

Wake up yesterday morning in Stratton to 16" of new. Kinda laugh cause I've never ridden pow in the East coast and envisioned the flatness that was to happen. Roll over to the demo tent and grab a new 164 Charlie Slasher and get on a chair as the gondy was shut down to to low winds. Yes...low winds. Roll over to Sun Bowl, as that was the only direction to go and end up on a 6 pack chair. Two dudes are spraying this and that to each other in a very east coast like way and while barely listening, I hear the words "Mallon." I perk up and go "Mike Mallon?" Dude looks over at me and says "yea bud, that's me." Mike was an ole Steamboat Winter Sports Club coach from way back when and now runs the Stratton Mountain School. You know the school that's churned out Danny Davis, Louie Vito and countless other X-Gaymes shreds. Anyway it's been at least 13 or 14 years since we shredded and that day he and his bro "Sully" (go figure, a Irish guy in the East) take my buddy Spike and I around to all their secret spots the whole morning totally killing my west coast pow snobbyness. For the year 2010, Stratton is on record as hands down the best pow day of the season. Thanks Sully and Mallon. Ya fuckers.

Minor Threat visual re-cap of the recap

Minor Threat from Nose Dradamous on Vimeo.

Let Craven Ride

Since the Canadian team were neither contenders or representatives of Canadian professional snowboarding - with two of the three riders not qualifying and the one that did riding without a chance for a medal.... Canadian fans were not stoked and there were lots of Dustin Craven supporters in the stands. Most visibly, 2 x Olympic Silver medallist Danny Kass and the whole Grenade crew holding signs and handing out bumper stickers that said, "Let Craven Ride."

Presidents Break Week

Lots of progression this week. Specially from Wiener. Enjoy.

Minor Threat Results

Sunny skies, two cheese wedges, a butter box, 2-15 foot boxes, a down rail and a propane tank made up the course down "Winnies" in the park. 33 kids showed up for the first annual Minor Threat 14 and under kids contest put on by C3, Capita, Coal and Union. The talent pool wasn't very deep as all the hot dogs were getting serious at the Holy Oly, but THAT was the point of this. To get kids on a course that they we're comfortable with and let them chuck their meat against each other. At the end of two qualifying runs and one main event we had the winners. Special thanks to Stevens Pass, EVO, SnoCon, SPSS, Siege Audio, Celtek, and Casual Industries for throwing down extra stoke for the kids. And without further ado, the results!

God Damn it!

D-ron's off the podium.

Mission Ridge Demo

Sunny skies, manicured slopes and ski patrol that pull you on their sleds to the hiking spots? Yes, work the last two days was heaven.
Paavo and Pete Saari, Milo and I had some good father / son, magnadildo / camber diss-cussions and runs.

"Just cause it's free, don't mean you need to wear it."

Triston took a little nap before the "Asian Inspired Downhill."

Then took the $$$ on a FK Indoor with a dry base. Pussys!

NBC Limp-Dick coverage really really sucks

Seriously the Oh-Limp-Dick coverage is painful. Bob Costa's feathered hair really sets the stage too.
But still, I'm glued to the screen. So far Boarderdildo, Figure Skating and Women's Downhill are my top 3 events that I've watched so far.
I hate Boardercross, straight up, but there was no denying how rad it was watching Nate fucking straight out go for it and turn into a pile. Then have Wescott come from behind and murder it. eXciting!
And the babes downhill last night. HOLY SHIT. Them bitches got Tom Brokeoff'd. Hard.
Figure skating, well the shits as gay as it comes but I really enjoy the costumes. Now watching the dude tube finals was pretty good and all. Especially when the Tomato had shit wrapped and after a solid 5 minute frat boy hi 5 session with his meat head gum chewing coach decided to "send it." But the commentary and the coverage actually put Sweaty to sleep at the house. He finished the Mission Ridge demo, stopped by the cabin to watch the finals and slept thru it because of the X-treme coverage boar a thon. Any, congrats Tomato and Lago. You let your Flow go!
A couple more events I can't wait for is D-Rahlves in the Skiercross, and of course 2 man luge. Ha ha, who the hell thought up the sport of two man luge???!!!

I bet originally they had dudes going down the track like this.

Whatever, the Oh-Limp-Dicks are living up to their name.

Minor Threat

Feb 20th. Rodent rippers.

Assume

...the Oh-Limp-Dick viewing position. Moguls??? Really, c'mon is this still an Olympic sport? Drop in, pound your knee's, hit a Wu-Tang and do some gay ass triple toe loop, land in the back seat, get in the broke back position and pound yourself to the next booter, launch a sit spin and speed your way to the finish. Pump you hands in the air like you just don't care. Honestly, the short program mixed pairs figure skating was more exciting last night. I hope boarderdildo is good tonight.

Baker Banked Vid

It's ain't pretty, but it sure was fun.

Edge control

See you at the Mission Ridge demo on Tue and Wed.

Oh shit, the Oh-limp-Dicks drama gets even better

U.S. boarder sells panties for charity. I'm feeling real creepy here.

Seriously??? 4 Realz???

This just in on NBC: "Can Shaun White be the first to pull off the perfect 50? The reigning Olympic halfpipe champ came tantalizingly close with a U.S. Grand Prix-record 49.50 in late January, all while executing the eye-catching (and extremely difficult) new maneuver known as the "Whitesnake." Based on White's dominant Grand Prix run this season (wins at four out of five events) and subsequent victory at the X Games on Jan. 30, the question would appear not to be whether White can win in Vancouver, but rather how much will he win by? The men's halfpipe final on Feb. 17 is as certain a must-see event as there is at the 2010 Games."

The WHITESNAKE?! WTF. A Whitesnake is when David Coverdale nailed Tawny Kitaen on the hood of his Jag. Not some double sow cow toe loop finger flip thing in the pipe. C'mon NBC. This IS a sign of the TV drama to come from the Oh-Limp-Dicks.

Good luck D-Ron

"The CEO of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association says U.S. Olympic freestyle skiers Daron Rahlves and Casey Puckett are recuperating at home and should be ready for the Vancouver Games."
Good thing he's making it here too, cause we got an important bet on the line with his ass winning Gold. WHEN he wins Gold, I throw away Mac's snowboard and one of my two rats ski's for the rest of their lives. Should Darron NOT get gold, his number in the cell phone gets erased, ski's get burnt and the snowboard gets broken in. Good luck kid.

Guess who?

Klocker and Guba back together again in Boyne. "AAAARRRRGGGGGGG, How's your ass been Elizabeth?!"

The Mantle

Tightious.

Blue Mont

T-Bird from Snowboarder brought this in on his way back from the Banked Slalom. Roots. Rad.

Banana Beats Camber...

Hey Johan and Milo
Here are some shots of the Malkoski shredders....great weekend! Nice work.

Sage Kotsenburg Wins the Overall Slopestyle Dew Cup

Seattle, WA – CAPiTA and Union rider Sage Kotsenburg is taking home the overall Dew Tour Cup for slopestyle after finishing second at the Toyota Championships in Mt. Snow. The 16-year-old took the snowboard world by surprise this season with focused confidence beyond his years, a solid bag of tricks and lots of style. He hadn’t pre-qualified for the opening event in Breckenridge and quickly hit the ‘riders to watch list’ after winning second place as a last minute wild card.

“I wasn’t even qualified for the Dew Tour and ended up winning the Cup,” says Kotsenburg. “I’m in shock and just feel so lucky that they let me compete at Breck. Now to win it, I’m so stoked!”

Kotsenburg was the only rider on the Dew Tour to podium for slopestyle at every event this season. He took second in Breckenridge, third at Snowbasin and second at the Championships at Mt. Snow. He finished the season with 260 points ahead of Torstein Horgmo and Tyler Flanagan.

Judges awarded his combination of a cab 270 onto the gap rail, switch 270 on to the second rail. cab 900, a frontside tail grap 270 on the Toyota Box, half cab on the down bar, and frontside 1080 to a backside 1080 with 90.25 points. The Park City-local also has a cab double-cork 1260 on lockdown.

It’s been a heavy couple of weeks for Kotsenburg having competed in slopestyle and big air at the Winter X Games last week before heading straight to Vermont. Having made the finals, he finished fifth in slopestyle at the X Games. Now the rookie heads back to Utah to ride powder with his friends, before heading out to the U.S. Open in March.

Congrats Sage.

M.F.M.

Mother Fucking Maxim recognized the Quiver Kiler as it's NUMBER TWO pick in Kings of the Hill. Whatever that means. At least Olivia Munn likes it.

Here are some shots from Munich. Capita booth, Union booth, Brad in the Coal booth, Joni Makinen (our european marketing manager) and...kids with capita tattoos. This always scares me a bit!

25th Anniversary Banked Slalom Recap of the Recap

Year three for me and the luck ran out. Told too many of my friends about it, they flew out and smoked me. Oh well, at least I beat Pete and Chris Saari and Bob Klien again.
And my kid kicked ass, made a couple new friends and in general it was a incredible three day weeked.
Once again Joe and Chad from Session beer got the house, tickets and spots in the Banked for the C3 dudes to come in and swarm all over like a pack of seagulls. Once again, thank you Session Beer dudes.
Our house included Benny from Milo, Mike D from Garfinkles, Chappy from Porters, Wilmoth our NorCal Rep, Gorio and Amy from EVO, pro shred Zack, Nate from Stevens Pass, Joe, Chad, Milo and I. Instead of getting all wordy and shit, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...

Session sponsered 10 Year Anniversary BLACK SNOWBOARD OF DEATHS, the PERFECT Banked board.
I was the first out of the gates on finals day. Clean corse all to myself. And fell on the 5th turn.

Chad.

Mr. Tom Burt and Milo.

Bob Klein and the Cookie Monster, John Chapman. Got a photo with these two right after they adjusted their" attit-dudes." I bet you can't tell.
Shit talker and Quiver Killer CAMBER board fan, Benny Pelli-Knee-Grow.

45 min hike out to the Shuskan Arm was in the cards on Saturday.

And Milo got some.

Walking from the car to the lodge, some DOUCHE with ski's just picks them up and whips them behind him, like harpooners do and the fucker clipped me in the nose. Dude took me to the ground with the hit. I thought I lost my teeth and broke my nose. I was down in a crouch for a couple minutes thinking about knocking the fucker out then just walked away mumbling, "and you wonder why we hate you..."

Cody and Jack Warble were KILLING shit all weekend. Milo made some good new friends.
The real C3 showed up. Chappys Cheese Chest. The dude was like a sushi chef with cheeses. God damn was I bound up. Double flushes were in order.
Milo deep in the course. The first day the little fucker posted times FASTER than half the house. Not faster than Dad, but real fucking close. Next year, I ain't waxing his stick.
The real contest went down after the slalom down by the rope tow. Cody, Jack, Hank, Javis, Milo and Milo put on a clinic off the mini booter. You will see footy of it somewhere else.

Mike D and the Legend. The D stands for DENIAL. His new name is Tut. Cause he's the King of Denial.

Silver Bitches.

Soooooooo stoked for Ben. He came to this country across the Reo Grande with a dozen milk jugs floating him across to safety as he didn't know how to swim. He's avoided INS thru the years of dish washing then married a 400lbs lesbian for 3 years to get his green card. Now as a citizen, Ben is living the American dream. Instead of riding donkeys, he rides pow, owns a snowboard shop and won silver at one of the purest shred events ever. Congrats Amigo! YOU DID IT!
Thanks Baker for another legendary event. The staff did nothing but smile for three days straight, the course ruled, friends were all in force and the shit talking was next level. Till next year....
