It has become far to easy to start a snowboard company these days. There used to be a time when Google didn’t make putting a bad idea to fruition so easy. Now all you have to do is search snowboard manufacturers and with a poof of Internet magic and a flash of light, bad ideas [...]
Mainstream media as much as it tries to make us believe that they understand what our culture is about still has moments that show it’s true ignorance. According to the great marketing masterminds at Stayteen.org jibbing will prevent teen pregnancy. The proof of this is in the overly produced commercial that probably cost them a [...]

Granted we snowboarders might smell and sometimes look like hippies although we’re not covering mountain town [...]
The FIS in conjunction with the IOC and Mother Russia announced that for the 2014 Olympic games in Sochi they would be cutting costs in the wake of this global recession.

In case you haven’t heard the ongoing running joke for the 2012 season of Nope Snowboards has finally come to an end. Yes that’s right they’ve pulled the plug on their own brand.
