New episode of Powder and Rails

For anyone that hasn’t started following this short segmented history of snowboarding I highly recommend it. You can view it here. I remember when I read the press release for this and Burton was sponsoring it, I figured that it would end up being Burton propaganda about how they invented snowboarding, but so far I’ve [...]

Metal to the Mountains

This year Vans is doing a Collaboration with Iron Maiden. The Etienne Jacket is nothing more than a spring shell but it rocks the fuck out like no other. At the end of the season I had a pair of Vans to warranty and like usual they lost my boots and just issued me a [...]
