Portland Report: Commonwealth Skateboarding is Open for Business

Local celebrity Benji Galloway. It has finally started snowing again in the Northwest so you may not have to resort to breaking out your skateboard, but if you actually enjoy skateboarding, you may just want to. Portland's first indoor concrete skatepark, Commonwealth Skateboarding, opened it's doors for business on February 26th. As a snowboarder (read: mediocre skateboarder) the park is non threatening with only a few sections topping the 3 foot mark. In addition to the main bowl, there is a mini ramp and a street area with bank, box and flat bar. However, the actual skating at the grand opening celebration was not for the casual enthusiast, with some…

SIA 2011 Day 3: A Marketing Analysis

At this point we've seen enough boards, boots, bindings, outerwear and accessories that it feels like it's already 2012. The boards have things like ollie bars, scoop bases and kick jammers (we made those last two up). Outerwear is more more tech (or in some cases less tech) and will hopefully keep you warm and dry on hill. You can get a goggle to match absolutely any outfit, and a helmet too. Bindings are more adjustable than ever, and boots are the lightest they've ever been. And collaborations are still hot. But what did we really learn at SIA? We learned what will sell this year. See the above pie…

SIA 2011 DAY 2: Back for More

Unlike miniramps at skate tradeshows, it's easy to drop in on the session at the Salomon booth. All the snowboarders are busy taking photos with their phones. Day two of SIA 2011 happened and it was a lot like day one. New products, familiar faces, etc, but there were a few key differences: -All hangovers were provided by the Burton stripper party. We'd post lots of awesome pictures but they don't let you take pictures at strip clubs, duh. -There was a Videograss teaser premiere at Salomon. -Terry Kidwell was there. Connor from MNMNT totally met Terry Kidwell. We didn't but we took a picture of him once, so pretend…

Five Companies You’ve (Probably) Never Heard Of

It seems like every clown has a clothing company now. Any why not? This is America, where rumor is, you can do anything you want. All it takes is some ingenuity, a little bit of cash and a ton of hard work, and there you have it, your own clothing brand. At least, that's the dream. Most people though, never get beyond the idea part, and having an actual operating business isn't as common as you'd think. The following five brands come from across the country (and even one in the middle) and all have their own unique style. The one thing they all have in common: the are all…

Hump Day Jumps Buildings with Austin Smith

For someone who's managed to blow out his knee, not once, but twice, Austin Smith has actually had a very blessed snowboard career. After two years out with injury, he's got still got the sponsor support and to get back out there, and this year, that's exactly what he plans to do. With accolades such as rookie of the year and video part of the year already under his belt, it seems unlikely that he'll have any trouble. Just don't expect him to throw any triple corks. So you just got yourself a house in Portland, where young people go to retire... but you're not hurt anymore, so how is…

How to Make the Best of a Shitty Day

It would be great if every day you went snowboarding was sunny, bluebird and knee deep. Ski resorts would never have to resort to tricky language, and you'd never have to think about if it's going to be worth the drive. Unfortunately, that is not the way the world works. In fact, more often than not, the strings of bluebird pow days happen while you're at work, and then your one day off ends up being cold and rainy. So you have a decision to make: do you sit at home, watch some reality TV and maybe play some video games, or, do you get off your ass, break out…

YoBeat’s New Year’s Resolutions

It's 2011 and with this shaping up to be the best season ever and all, it's time for some resolutions... so here's five! Feel free to ignore them, or if you wanna be as cool as us (hack, gag) then you should follow this amazingly good example we're setting and attempt to emulate them. 1. Stop the Ski Hate If you’ve been reading this site (or really any snowboard publication) for any amount of time, you’ll know how difficult this is going to be. Not only was hating on skiing ingrained in us by skiers themselves from the day we first strapped on that snowboard back in the 90s, but…

Hump Day Reconnects with Colin Langlois

The fact he is wearing all black is NOT why they call him the Panther. They say in life it’s all who you know, and for Colin Langlois, it’s been a lot of the right people. From growing up riding in Vermont under the tutelage of some east coast legends, to finding his way to Mammoth to be part of the original Grenade crew, he has always had a bit of a knack for being in the right place, at the right time. Of course, it has helped that he has skills on a snowboard (and rollerblades too), and is a lot of fun to be around and ride with,…

Dirksen Derby: Day 2

When it comes to a banked slalom competition, the worst possible turn of events after a day of pounding rain would be a massive temperature drop. The mushy berms would turn to solid ice, and on a course such as the one for this year's Dirksen Derby, fly outs and tree collisions would be a given. This is a fun event for a good cause though, so even that bitch Mother Nature, who taunted the event with some of the worst possible weather on the first day, decided to cooperate, and that didn't happen! On December 12, things were warm and slushy and sun the even came out towards the…

Day two of SIA 2011 happened and it was a lot like day one. New products, familiar faces, etc, but there were a few key differences: -All hangovers were provided by the Burton stripper party. We'd post lots of awesome pictures but they don't let you take pictures at strip clubs, duh. -There was a Videograss teaser premiere at Salomon. -Terry Kidwell was there. Connor from MNMNT totally met Terry Kidwell. We didn't but we took a picture of him once, so pretend…

Five Companies You’ve (Probably) Never Heard Of

It seems like every clown has a clothing company now. Any why not? This is America, where rumor is, you can do anything you want. All it takes is some ingenuity, a little bit of cash and a ton of hard work, and there you have it, your own clothing brand. At least, that's the dream. Most people though, never get beyond the idea part, and having an actual operating business isn't as common as you'd think. The following five brands come from across the country (and even one in the middle) and all have their own unique style. The one thing they all have in common: the are all…

Hump Day Jumps Buildings with Austin Smith

For someone who's managed to blow out his knee, not once, but twice, Austin Smith has actually had a very blessed snowboard career. After two years out with injury, he's got still got the sponsor support and to get back out there, and this year, that's exactly what he plans to do. With accolades such as rookie of the year and video part of the year already under his belt, it seems unlikely that he'll have any trouble. Just don't expect him to throw any triple corks. So you just got yourself a house in Portland, where young people go to retire... but you're not hurt anymore, so how is…

How to Make the Best of a Shitty Day

It would be great if every day you went snowboarding was sunny, bluebird and knee deep. Ski resorts would never have to resort to tricky language, and you'd never have to think about if it's going to be worth the drive. Unfortunately, that is not the way the world works. In fact, more often than not, the strings of bluebird pow days happen while you're at work, and then your one day off ends up being cold and rainy. So you have a decision to make: do you sit at home, watch some reality TV and maybe play some video games, or, do you get off your ass, break out…

YoBeat’s New Year’s Resolutions

It's 2011 and with this shaping up to be the best season ever and all, it's time for some resolutions... so here's five! Feel free to ignore them, or if you wanna be as cool as us (hack, gag) then you should follow this amazingly good example we're setting and attempt to emulate them. 1. Stop the Ski Hate If you’ve been reading this site (or really any snowboard publication) for any amount of time, you’ll know how difficult this is going to be. Not only was hating on skiing ingrained in us by skiers themselves from the day we first strapped on that snowboard back in the 90s, but…

Hump Day Reconnects with Colin Langlois

The fact he is wearing all black is NOT why they call him the Panther. They say in life it’s all who you know, and for Colin Langlois, it’s been a lot of the right people. From growing up riding in Vermont under the tutelage of some east coast legends, to finding his way to Mammoth to be part of the original Grenade crew, he has always had a bit of a knack for being in the right place, at the right time. Of course, it has helped that he has skills on a snowboard (and rollerblades too), and is a lot of fun to be around and ride with,…

Dirksen Derby: Day 2

When it comes to a banked slalom competition, the worst possible turn of events after a day of pounding rain would be a massive temperature drop. The mushy berms would turn to solid ice, and on a course such as the one for this year's Dirksen Derby, fly outs and tree collisions would be a given. This is a fun event for a good cause though, so even that bitch Mother Nature, who taunted the event with some of the worst possible weather on the first day, decided to cooperate, and that didn't happen! On December 12, things were warm and slushy and sun the even came out towards the…

Portland Report: Commonwealth Skateboarding is Open for Business

Local celebrity Benji Galloway. It has finally started snowing again in the Northwest so you may not have to resort to breaking out your skateboard, but if you actually enjoy skateboarding, you may just want to. Portland's first indoor concrete skatepark, Commonwealth Skateboarding, opened it's doors for business on February 26th. As a snowboarder (read: mediocre skateboarder) the park is non threatening with only a few sections topping the 3 foot mark. In addition to the main bowl, there is a mini ramp and a street area with bank, box and flat bar. However, the actual skating at the grand opening celebration was not for the casual enthusiast, with some…

SIA 2011 Day 3: A Marketing Analysis

At this point we've seen enough boards, boots, bindings, outerwear and accessories that it feels like it's already 2012. The boards have things like ollie bars, scoop bases and kick jammers (we made those last two up). Outerwear is more more tech (or in some cases less tech) and will hopefully keep you warm and dry on hill. You can get a goggle to match absolutely any outfit, and a helmet too. Bindings are more adjustable than ever, and boots are the lightest they've ever been. And collaborations are still hot. But what did we really learn at SIA? We learned what will sell this year. See the above pie…
