So another year comes to an end and we aimlessly lumber along towards the fate that awaits us in the year 2012. With all this talk about the future, end of the world, global cooling, and what have you I felt it’s time to take a look back at the year that was. Yes everyone [...]
So chances are if you bought new outerwear, boots, or diamond encrusted goggles recently you’ve seen the Recco tag on some piece of snowboarding apparel. Maybe you’ve asked yourself what the hell is this thing and what does it do? Maybe you’ve said I’m paying more for something that’s probably fossilized annodized pixie shit. Either [...]
Continuing on with the career of super shred Noah Salasnek this one takes on a look at his ventures into big mountain riding, Forum snowboards, and aspects of his career he didn’t like.

If you want to see some guys get gnar in the terrain park this is the movie for you. Some of the crazier looking doubles I’ve seen in the land of mini shred. Either way it’s not a bad flick so give it a go and have a happy holidays.
Do you know who Noah Salasnek is? How about Mike Ranquet or Chris Roach? Episode two of Powder and Rails is out right now and anyone that butters, jumps, or is into freestyle should pay homage to a man that gave snowboarding the style it has today.
