Yobeat Goes to Superpark 18
A series of missed opportunities.
How I Spent My Last Day on Earth
The Mayans were wrong, which means you get to see how we spent what we thought was the last day on earth. Couldn't have gotten much better than a powder day at Mt. Hood Meadows with RJ Sweet, Joey Carnera, Justin Leveille and Tim Breault.

I’m Thankful for Mt. Hood Meadows Opening Day
I have a lot to be thankful for. Somehow, a little website my friend and I started as a joke now more or less pays my bills and gives me a creative outlet to do just about anything I want. I can get any equipment I can imagine, for free, and one of my biggest problems in life is that I want to go to the Burton European Open and the Mt Baker Banked Slalom, but I can't, because they're on the same weekend. But if we're being 100% honest about what I'm really thankful for, it's snowboarding itself, and days like Mt Hood Meadows opening day this year. The…

The Magic: Recaptured
Snowboarding is fun. I mean, it kinda of goes without saying, but when you've been doing it for a long time, sometimes you can forget. The past few seasons I've admittedly been a bit snobby about things such as the conditions, which will happen when you live somewhere it gets really good (and also really bad). But this season, the magic is back. I've already ridden more times this year than last, and I actually have passes to multiple resorts. Well, I HAD passes, I should say. The unintended consequence of my refound love for snowboarding is I've completely reverted back to my 16-year-old self. This means, I am "trying"…

Last Hurrah with Shane Flood
You get more speed when the sun goes away I’ve been bemoaning the end of the season for a few weeks now, mostly because filling a snowboard site with new and interesting posts every day is a lot harder when you’re not actually going snowboarding. I find though, that like the majority of the population, once spring break wraps up it can be hard to motivate to make the trek to the hill. It is with some regret that I admit my local hill, Mt. Hood Meadows, has in fact been open for business up until yesterday. But with my cred on the line, when the e-vite went out from…

When People Fall in Really Cold Water
Spring! A time for sunny days, park lines and of course, idiots throwing themselves into icy water in the name of the pond skim. In Oregon though, it's not uncommon for late April to be neither warm nor sunny, and unfortunately at Mt. Hood Meadows and Kona Brewing Company's 4th Annual Pond Skim, the mercury barely made it above freezing. Don't worry, there were still a bunch of idiots willing to strip down and/or don ridiculous attire and get wet. There was a trip to Hawaii on the line, after all. But we were there for one reason, and one reason alone: free beer. Kona Brewing Company had rented out…

Your 2010 New Year’s Plans
Happy New Years!!! It's officially 2010 in Australia, but for us in the rest of the world there's still time to make plans that are sure to let you down. In the words of Pat Bridges, "A New Years you can remember is a New Years to forget," but if you are not actually trying to get black out drunk by 10 pm, one option is snowboarding. Here are a few resort across the country where the lifts will be spinning until midnight. Woo! Party. Wild Mountain, Minnesota As we've already seen, Wild Mountain knows how to party! Will the Michelot's or Zac Marben's mustache be there? Probably not, because…

The Magic: Recaptured
Snowboarding is fun. I mean, it kinda of goes without saying, but when you've been doing it for a long time, sometimes you can forget. The past few seasons I've admittedly been a bit snobby about things such as the conditions, which will happen when you live somewhere it gets really good (and also really bad).

Your 2010 New Year’s Plans
Happy New Years!!! It's officially 2010 in Australia, but for us in the rest of the world there's still time to make plans that are sure to let you down. In the words of Pat Bridges, "A New Years you can remember is a New Years to forget," but if you are not actually trying to get black out drunk by 10 pm, one option is snowboarding. Here are a few resort across the country where the lifts will be spinning until midnight. Woo! Party. Wild Mountain, Minnesota As we've already seen, Wild Mountain knows how to party! Will the Michelot's or Zac Marben's mustache be there? Probably not, because…
