Meet: VegHead Productions

Our neighbors to the North have some pretty serious snowboarding to be done, and none of it is in Ontario. That hasn't stopped VegHead Productions from making a movie this year (and why should it!?) But seriously, reformed pot heads, urban boarding, and universal healthcare is as good a recipe as any, and VegHead's Gordon Bernie hit us up and was like, check out our video. So we decided to find out more! Location: London, Ontario Riders: Zach Moorcroft, Jordan Glenn, Sean Grabowski, Erik Rayment, Chris Fellner, Gordon Birnie, Bradley Hesson, Mark Goodall, Jeff Howlett, Mike Benko, Brady Swartz Filmer/Editor: Andrew Wyton What's with the name? Are you guys a…

Pipe to Pipe Version 2010: SKATE!

[imagebrowser id=85] With only one Bonfire Pipe to Pipe event this year, I had only one chance to defend my second place title from last year. But I was determined. I left the on-snow in a hurry to get down to the Windells Concrete Jungle and train. I had my stunts down. I threatened the appropriate judges. I was feeling good. And then... the unthinkable. A bunch of other girls showed up. Some of them could actually ollie. I saw my dreams of back-to-back silver-medal goodie bags drifting further and further away. The good news is this year there were enough girls we got our own jam session (not fighting…

Pipe to Pipe Version 2010

[imagebrowser id=84] More than a few years ago, the Bonfire Pipe to Pipe lost it's way. Despite the name, neither the snow or skate portion of the events in recent years have featured a "pipe." I suppose that'll happen, when you're the longest running summer snowboard contest out there. But this year, the folks at Windells and Bonfire decided to bring back the pipe, and created a snowboard course centered around a miniature halfpipe. But aside from making the name more logical, this new set up managed to do something else as well: Bring back the 90s. How, you might ask, would a course set up do that? Well, the…

Nick Lipton: A Day in the Life

As a recent college graduate with no other real responsibilities this summer than to go snowboarding at Mt. Hood, review the latest and greatest snowboards, and make videos,  Nick Lipton certainly has a pained existence. Especially when his mean old boss (me) decides to come snowboarding and see why exactly it is so difficult being Nick Lipton. 9:30 am. I find Nick passed out in all his clothes on a love seat in the Burton house. 9:45 am. A hungover and grumpy Nick peels himself off the couch. 9:50 am. Flirts with the girls at the HCSC office. 9:55 am. Orders a bagel sandwich. Must be reminded to fill out…

Meet: The Bang Show

You've seen the teasers. You've wished they were your friends. And now we actually talked to the guys behind the Bang Show. After emailing with both Maxwell Scott (who runs the email) and Nick Brewer (who "invented" the crew) and getting several 1 am phone calls from Andrew Brewer, we're pretty much down with the guys. In short, this crew seems to know what snowboarding is about, and they take that shit really seriously. In fact, we give this video at least a 75% of actually coming out. Location: Colorado, Utah, New York, Reno, Mass, Minnesota, and New Jersey Riders: Ben Capron, Mike Goodwin, Andrew Brewer, Maxwell Scott, Charlie Deptula,…

Meet: Animal Farm Design

This week in the hot seat we have Utah-based Animal Farm Design. Funny story, I originally tried to get Sean Lucey to answer these questions, but on a trip to High Cascade to learned Lucey is a slacker, but met Mark Dangler who seemed like he had a bit more gumption. Wow, that wasn't really funny, was it? Anyway, here's more the story on Animal Farm from Mark. Location: Salt Lake City, Utah Government Camp, Oregon Riders: Ben Farrell, Torrey Lyons, Matty Mo, Noah Hausknecht, Josh Poehlein, Parker Duke, Ted Borland, Brandon Hammid I don’t know everyone who we ride with… Filmer/Editor: Mark Dangler, Sean Lucey First and foremost, what's…

Rain Day Survival Guide

If the past few weeks of “summer” are any indication, there’s a good chance that your Hood trip this year is gonna get rained on. Windells session one had a banner two days of sun, and with High Cascade starting up, it doesn’t feel like things are getting better anytime soon. But don’t worry, there have been “rain days” since the inception of summer snowboarding, and even though you came here to work on your double corks and goggle tan, you’ll survive. Here are a just a few of the tried and true ways to ward off boredom on rainy days. 1. Go snowboarding anyway. Yes, you may want to…

Hump Day Finds Kyle Clancy

Kyle Clancy lives outside the snowboard industry's box. Here's a rider that bailed on Mack Dawg's program to film on his own terms with Grenade until he took matters completely into his own hands and filmed "Who Cares" under his own production company, Mongo Pro. Here's a rider that won Red Bull's Heavy Metal rail contest among the world's best jibbers and then never hit another street rail again. Here's a rider that's done what he needs to do to make sure he can shred as much as possible in any given season on his own terms. He's been called a lot of things: "The next Jason Ford." "The expensive…

Meet: bHappy Films

For these crew profiles, we've mainly been talking to the main filmer/editor guy, since they're the ones who hypothetically make the movie part happen. But this week, we interviewed bHappy, a crew all about love and togetherness, and it just didn't seem right to only interview Paul Heran about the crew. So to help you get to know bHappy Films, Colton Morgan, Sammy Spiteri and Durell Williams chimed in too. Location: Tahoe, SLC. Riders: Colton Morgan, Sammy Spiteri, Durell Williams, Cole Atencio, Ben Strause, Shane Wright, Dylan Thompson, Ian Bigley, Casey Detweiler, Zander Blackmon, Sean Anderson Filmers: Paul Heran, Bryce Hymans, Sammy Spiteri, Ben Strause, Durell Williams, Tim Bradley, Rob…

Pipe to Pipe Version 2010

[imagebrowser id=84] More than a few years ago, the Bonfire Pipe to Pipe lost it's way. Despite the name, neither the snow or skate portion of the events in recent years have featured a "pipe." I suppose that'll happen, when you're the longest running summer snowboard contest out there. But this year, the folks at Windells and Bonfire decided to bring back the pipe, and created a snowboard course centered around a miniature halfpipe. But aside from making the name more logical, this new set up managed to do something else as well: Bring back the 90s. How, you might ask, would a course set up do that? Well, the…

Nick Lipton: A Day in the Life

As a recent college graduate with no other real responsibilities this summer than to go snowboarding at Mt. Hood, review the latest and greatest snowboards, and make videos,  Nick Lipton certainly has a pained existence. Especially when his mean old boss (me) decides to come snowboarding and see why exactly it is so difficult being Nick Lipton. 9:30 am. I find Nick passed out in all his clothes on a love seat in the Burton house. 9:45 am. A hungover and grumpy Nick peels himself off the couch. 9:50 am. Flirts with the girls at the HCSC office. 9:55 am. Orders a bagel sandwich. Must be reminded to fill out…

Meet: The Bang Show

You've seen the teasers. You've wished they were your friends. And now we actually talked to the guys behind the Bang Show. After emailing with both Maxwell Scott (who runs the email) and Nick Brewer (who "invented" the crew) and getting several 1 am phone calls from Andrew Brewer, we're pretty much down with the guys. In short, this crew seems to know what snowboarding is about, and they take that shit really seriously. In fact, we give this video at least a 75% of actually coming out. Location: Colorado, Utah, New York, Reno, Mass, Minnesota, and New Jersey Riders: Ben Capron, Mike Goodwin, Andrew Brewer, Maxwell Scott, Charlie Deptula,…

Meet: Animal Farm Design

This week in the hot seat we have Utah-based Animal Farm Design. Funny story, I originally tried to get Sean Lucey to answer these questions, but on a trip to High Cascade to learned Lucey is a slacker, but met Mark Dangler who seemed like he had a bit more gumption. Wow, that wasn't really funny, was it? Anyway, here's more the story on Animal Farm from Mark. Location: Salt Lake City, Utah Government Camp, Oregon Riders: Ben Farrell, Torrey Lyons, Matty Mo, Noah Hausknecht, Josh Poehlein, Parker Duke, Ted Borland, Brandon Hammid I don’t know everyone who we ride with… Filmer/Editor: Mark Dangler, Sean Lucey First and foremost, what's…

Rain Day Survival Guide

If the past few weeks of “summer” are any indication, there’s a good chance that your Hood trip this year is gonna get rained on. Windells session one had a banner two days of sun, and with High Cascade starting up, it doesn’t feel like things are getting better anytime soon. But don’t worry, there have been “rain days” since the inception of summer snowboarding, and even though you came here to work on your double corks and goggle tan, you’ll survive. Here are a just a few of the tried and true ways to ward off boredom on rainy days. 1. Go snowboarding anyway. Yes, you may want to…

Hump Day Finds Kyle Clancy

Kyle Clancy lives outside the snowboard industry's box. Here's a rider that bailed on Mack Dawg's program to film on his own terms with Grenade until he took matters completely into his own hands and filmed "Who Cares" under his own production company, Mongo Pro. Here's a rider that won Red Bull's Heavy Metal rail contest among the world's best jibbers and then never hit another street rail again. Here's a rider that's done what he needs to do to make sure he can shred as much as possible in any given season on his own terms. He's been called a lot of things: "The next Jason Ford." "The expensive…

Meet: bHappy Films

For these crew profiles, we've mainly been talking to the main filmer/editor guy, since they're the ones who hypothetically make the movie part happen. But this week, we interviewed bHappy, a crew all about love and togetherness, and it just didn't seem right to only interview Paul Heran about the crew. So to help you get to know bHappy Films, Colton Morgan, Sammy Spiteri and Durell Williams chimed in too. Location: Tahoe, SLC. Riders: Colton Morgan, Sammy Spiteri, Durell Williams, Cole Atencio, Ben Strause, Shane Wright, Dylan Thompson, Ian Bigley, Casey Detweiler, Zander Blackmon, Sean Anderson Filmers: Paul Heran, Bryce Hymans, Sammy Spiteri, Ben Strause, Durell Williams, Tim Bradley, Rob…

Meet: VegHead Productions

Our neighbors to the North have some pretty serious snowboarding to be done, and none of it is in Ontario. That hasn't stopped VegHead Productions from making a movie this year (and why should it!?) But seriously, reformed pot heads, urban boarding, and universal healthcare is as good a recipe as any, and VegHead's Gordon Bernie hit us up and was like, check out our video. So we decided to find out more! Location: London, Ontario Riders: Zach Moorcroft, Jordan Glenn, Sean Grabowski, Erik Rayment, Chris Fellner, Gordon Birnie, Bradley Hesson, Mark Goodall, Jeff Howlett, Mike Benko, Brady Swartz Filmer/Editor: Andrew Wyton What's with the name?
