We live in a time where present technology seems to borrow from the past to help advance the future. Looking through the annals of snowboarding you can see the influences of yesteryear today. Things like reverse camber, asymetrical sidecuts, blunted shapes, baseless bindings, 3-D bases, and the like seem to have come full circle. What […]
As morbid obesity becomes the latest trends for Americans to get on, the snow sports industry has to keep up with the demands of its participants otherwise couch crunching and channel surfing will become the more prevalent action sports. With the largest complaint of the over weight being that their bodies can’t properly support their […]
Chances are if you snowboard you probably do some other cross over activities like skateboarding, wakeboarding, skim boarding, wrong boarding, and the such. With all these various board sports you probably find yourself plunking down a good chunk of change across all the various seasons of enjoyment. Well relax it seems someone has invented the […]

The Villain Motion crew is on the road traveling from Reno to Tahoe to Salt Lake City and beyond for their new movie. We’re not sure what they’re doing but it involves frat parties, molesting police cruisers, eating burritos, and a little bit of snowboarding. Is this what our big sponsorship budget went to?
