Behind the Scenes at the Nikita Chickita

Magalie Dubois. Geery photo. It wouldn’t be right for me to just write a story about the Nikita Chickita and gush about how great it is and how much fun everyone had. You see, I have been helping to put on this event for the past two seasons, and in the biz, I believe they call that a “conflict of interest."  So instead, this account of the event will be what you couldn’t see but I know -- the behind the scenes action at the Nikita Chickita. First off you may ask, why would you try to put on an event against the Dew Tour, The Arctic Challenge and the…

Perks of the Job

People often ask me, "Brooke, what is the best part about being an extreme journalist?" Oh wait, no one actually asks me that, but I am going to tell you anyway. It's not the travel to exotic locations, or the fact that snowboarding is my job (and I don't have to actually put myself in harms way). It is two simple words: free stuff! One of the great universal truths is that everyone loves free stuff, and I am only human. I have the added benefit that I get free stuff from companies that are cool and make stuff I actually want to wear. I am not just writing this…

Last day in Tahoe

I was able to negotiate with my hostage takers to leave Tahoe today, but it wasn't without a little suffering. After two days of temperatures too warm for jackets, we went up to Boreal for night riding. Not only was it night time, but the weather patterns had changed and the temperature had dropped dramatically. In short, it was freezing. I braved the cold (and held my camera in my armpit between shots) to make a little video. Check it out. Now I am just waiting for my snowboard to show up (I think it ended up at the other house) so that I can make the trek to Reno…

Girls on Film

I have been riding in Tahoe, working on my suntan (ok, burn) and making videos of the Nikita photoshoot. I am not sure exactly how it happened, but I made one video and they convinced me to stay longer so I could make videos every day. apparently people appreciate my randomness and dry wit. so anyway, the compression on these suck. I will be posting all of them on futuresnowboarding.com when I am done here and they will look better, but if you want a special sneek peak, here ya go! Day Two

Nikita Chicks and Stuff

I am down in mid-California, about to go ride Northstar with the Nikita team girls. While there may be an epic video coming out of this day, the real reason I was here was the Nikita Chickita event at Mammoth. I've been helping out Josh as event manager -- getting sponsors, hyping up girls on the internet, and various other important tasks. All my hard work finally came to fruition on Saturday and I'd say we ran a pretty rad event. There certainly was a lot of free stuff for the girls, and well, everyone loves free stuff. I had planned to shoot photos of the contest but got recruited…
