What have I learned recently? Giving kids free Tshirts is the best marketing, ever. Also, everything is more fun when up to 9 people at a time are watching it live on the Internet. We'll be doing a live webcast from Windells every session all summer long so if you want to be one of those live viewers, follow Yobeat on twitter, now. Right now.

I’m Big in Europe

I've been writing a column for the Pan-European magazine On Board this season. I know I am supposed to hate magazines (and I sort of do) but they asked and seem like nice enough blokes, plus they pay me in Euros. I finally got four of the five issues that have come out already and scanned them, which means, if you want to read stuff that I think will appeal to Europeans (but more likely doesn't appeal to anyone) now you can!

It’s Not Ski Bowl but…

I really had high hopes for this season, even hailing it as the BEST EVER but I swear, it's almost like there is some greater force trying to prevent me from riding lately. You may remember the pass-pulling incident of 2010. That didn't help things. Then it turns out the "Super Value" element of my Ski Bowl pass is actually sort of annoying, seeing as today seemed like a mighty nice day to snowboarding in honor of MLK, but alas, it's blacked out. I've concocted a scheme to get tickets at Tline by giving them coverage. The only thing, I'm trying to make it look good up there and every…

Never Been Done!

Now that I've got this snazzy new site, I guess I'd better produce some fresh content, right? Well luckily, I've got a GoPro and I'm not afraid to use it, so I present another epic Ski Bowl edit! Today Jared slid his first box, which sounds kinda dirty if your mind is in the gutter. But really, it was wholesome fun for the whole family and inspired me to also do some unlikely stunting, such sliding as park boxes you couldn't just ride on to. It didn't go as poorly as I had expected, and I might be getting into this "park" business, even though I once wrote about how…

Some Recent Work You Should Check Out (and some you shouldn’t)

First, attempt to enjoy this video of shaky GoPro footage I made from a couple days at Pico over Christmas. However, I feel I should warn you that most of the clips are so bad I kinda of gave up on editing them halfway through and just exported. The song is good though, and Jared is KILLING it with his new found method skills. In other news, I've been back on the web development game as of late. I use the term "web development" loosely, but I have managed to fix up a couple friends' sites with my wordpress css tweaking skills. Click on the screen grabs below to check…

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"…

How to Make an AMAZING Web Edit

Someday, we're going to look back on this period in history and have no trouble remembering it because there is so very little that happens that is not captured on video. Barring a complete melt down of the Internet, we will have plenty of stuff to show to our kids and grand kids to go along with our "when I was your age" stories. It's going to be great. In the meantime, however, society is suffering from a web video overload. And most of those videos, especially the ones featuring snowboarding, are really bad. However, that should be qualified a bit: to you and your friends they are amazing, but…

Someday, we're going to look back on this period in history and have no trouble remembering it because there is so very little that happens that is not captured on video. Barring a complete melt down of the Internet, we will have plenty of stuff to show to our kids and grand kids to go along with our "when I was your age" stories. It's going to be great. In the meantime, however, society is suffering from a web video overload. And most of those videos, especially the ones featuring snowboarding, are really bad. However, that should be qualified a bit: to you and your friends they are amazing, but…

Viral Marketing Genius at Work

What have I learned recently? Giving kids free Tshirts is the best marketing, ever. Also, everything is more fun when up to 9 people at a time are watching it live on the Internet. We'll be doing a live webcast from Windells every session all summer long so if you want to be one of those live viewers, follow Yobeat on twitter, now. Right now.

I’m Big in Europe

I've been writing a column for the Pan-European magazine On Board this season. I know I am supposed to hate magazines (and I sort of do) but they asked and seem like nice enough blokes, plus they pay me in Euros. I finally got four of the five issues that have come out already and scanned them, which means, if you want to read stuff that I think will appeal to Europeans (but more likely doesn't appeal to anyone) now you can!

It’s Not Ski Bowl but…

I really had high hopes for this season, even hailing it as the BEST EVER but I swear, it's almost like there is some greater force trying to prevent me from riding lately. You may remember the pass-pulling incident of 2010. That didn't help things. Then it turns out the "Super Value" element of my Ski Bowl pass is actually sort of annoying, seeing as today seemed like a mighty nice day to snowboarding in honor of MLK, but alas, it's blacked out. I've concocted a scheme to get tickets at Tline by giving them coverage. The only thing, I'm trying to make it look good up there and every…

Never Been Done!

Now that I've got this snazzy new site, I guess I'd better produce some fresh content, right? Well luckily, I've got a GoPro and I'm not afraid to use it, so I present another epic Ski Bowl edit! Today Jared slid his first box, which sounds kinda dirty if your mind is in the gutter. But really, it was wholesome fun for the whole family and inspired me to also do some unlikely stunting, such sliding as park boxes you couldn't just ride on to. It didn't go as poorly as I had expected, and I might be getting into this "park" business, even though I once wrote about how…

Some Recent Work You Should Check Out (and some you shouldn’t)

First, attempt to enjoy this video of shaky GoPro footage I made from a couple days at Pico over Christmas. However, I feel I should warn you that most of the clips are so bad I kinda of gave up on editing them halfway through and just exported. The song is good though, and Jared is KILLING it with his new found method skills. In other news, I've been back on the web development game as of late. I use the term "web development" loosely, but I have managed to fix up a couple friends' sites with my wordpress css tweaking skills. Click on the screen grabs below to check…

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"…
