Two years ago I met Tony and Mark, the guys manning the Ellis Snowboard booth at SIA. Just a little company coming out of Southern California and doing boards and bindings.

PooPdood Teaser

See The Light Teaser

Another European movie with a song I think I’ve heard in 2 other teasers for this year. Check out the attempt at going for a double where the guy comes up short and implodes, doesn’t look like it was fun.
