Exclusive! YoBeat’s Official Scotty Lago Olympic Interview

We've got Olympic fever and it's mostly cause Scotty Lago made the team. Not only is he a good ol' New England boy, but he's down for a good time, even while trying to make Team USA. If anyone can show the world what snowboarding is really about (hint: not double corks) it's Scotty. As the only Frend on the Olympic team, do you think not being on a Burton board had anything to do with you making it? Naw, hahaha, but being the only one from the crew gives me more motivation to go and shred it So given Kevin and Danny's untimely injuries, did that help motivate you…

Exclusive! YoBeat’s Official Louie Vito Olympic Interview

For all this talk about how little we care about the Olympics and what not, we've really been paying pretty close attention to it. When the team was officially announced on Monday we realized that maybe we are even a little bit psyched to see how big of a junk show Vancouver 2010 really ends up being (or not.) It also doesn't hurt that a decent portion of team USA are not just lame pipe jocks, but snowboarders we actually kind of like. And since we could, we figured some quick, EXCLUSIVE interviews were in order (but only with the people we care about.) First up, Louie Vito. Which experience…

A Random Hump Day with Sean Genovese

Photo: Keenan When you're not happy with your board sponsor in this day in age, there's only one thing to do: start your own brand. Sure, given then current economic climate, and the responsibilities of running a company, it might not be the easiest proposition. But for Sean Genovese, it's a walk in the park. Wait, no, I am lying. Sean is honestly one of the most random, out-there individuals that I've ever met, and the fact he is able to run his own snowboard brand is a testament to the fact that snowboarding is the world's greatest industry. Don't get me wrong, Sean is potentially the most fun human…

I Am Snowboarding in Portland

I Am Snowboarding, the collaborative art project to honor Jeff Anderson, arrived in Portland on January 8, 2010. The art lined the usual hallway of Nemo HQ, the beer on tap was free, and Trevor Graves was running around taking shots with his G10. At first glance it could have been any of the monthly art openings held at Nemo, but for the snowboard nerds this was truly something special. Each of the art pieces on display brought together a different photographer and artist. The photos, of course, were of Jeff Anderson through out his life, but the artist interpretations were as different as could be. Colin Whyte was kind…

2009 Stats: NBD

Well, since a few other bloggers with nothing interesting to post are doing a year in review thing I figured Brookegeery.com should jump on the bandwagon as well. That's right I am not a leader, I am a follower. I am not a woman! I am DEVO! All kidding aside I tend to be a bit shocked every month when I see people roll back to this site to consume whatever I put up. Brookegeery.com was started a few years ago and wouldn't you know it  - it's still going.

Broadcasting Live from Mt. Hood on the Droid

In case you were wondering what I bought myself for Christmas, it was a much-needed new phone in the form of the Motorola Droid. Verizon managed to grant me my bitchin' $50 credit towards a new phone on actual Chrismas, which meant I had to wait a full day to get this bad boy. In short, it's like an iPhone, but not as "cool." To save you from having to comment, I didn't get an iPhone because I've had Verizon since 2001 and I figure, why switch now. So whatever. I'm sure you've seen the "droid does" commercials, unless of course, you don't have TV, in which case, I'll sum…

LT Park Day and Night

It's cool when ski areas support snowboarding and actually let people who snowboard promote them. Then you end up with websites like ltpark.com and the above video. But since you guys will probably all balk at the skier shots, we figured a little interview with LT Park's Will Moss was in order. YoBeat: Who is the LT Park Crew? Will: The LT Park Crew is a loose affiliation of snow sliders living in western Montana's Bitterroot Valley and recreating at Lost Trail Powder Mountain. We build parks with limited resources and have fun on other people's dimes. We try to positively combine the rural, laid-back attitude of the ski hill with (our…

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…

How to Keep the Dream Alive

This is from the 90s. I was sure I would "make it" and be as cool as JP was soon! If you are reading this site, there’s a good chance you do now, or at one point, wanted to be a pro snowboarder. I know I did. All the glamor, travel, and most importantly free stuff seemed mighty tempting. For me an injury essentially ended my “career,” but for most life just happens. One day, you wake up and realize you’re in your mid 20s and 17-year-old kids are way, way better than you ever were or ever will be. But don’t fret. The dream doesn’t have to die with…

Exclusive! YoBeat’s Official Louie Vito Olympic Interview

For all this talk about how little we care about the Olympics and what not, we've really been paying pretty close attention to it. When the team was officially announced on Monday we realized that maybe we are even a little bit psyched to see how big of a junk show Vancouver 2010 really ends up being (or not.) It also doesn't hurt that a decent portion of team USA are not just lame pipe jocks, but snowboarders we actually kind of like. And since we could, we figured some quick, EXCLUSIVE interviews were in order (but only with the people we care about.) First up, Louie Vito. Which experience…

A Random Hump Day with Sean Genovese

Photo: Keenan When you're not happy with your board sponsor in this day in age, there's only one thing to do: start your own brand. Sure, given then current economic climate, and the responsibilities of running a company, it might not be the easiest proposition. But for Sean Genovese, it's a walk in the park. Wait, no, I am lying. Sean is honestly one of the most random, out-there individuals that I've ever met, and the fact he is able to run his own snowboard brand is a testament to the fact that snowboarding is the world's greatest industry. Don't get me wrong, Sean is potentially the most fun human…

I Am Snowboarding in Portland

I Am Snowboarding, the collaborative art project to honor Jeff Anderson, arrived in Portland on January 8, 2010. The art lined the usual hallway of Nemo HQ, the beer on tap was free, and Trevor Graves was running around taking shots with his G10. At first glance it could have been any of the monthly art openings held at Nemo, but for the snowboard nerds this was truly something special. Each of the art pieces on display brought together a different photographer and artist. The photos, of course, were of Jeff Anderson through out his life, but the artist interpretations were as different as could be. Colin Whyte was kind…

2009 Stats: NBD

Well, since a few other bloggers with nothing interesting to post are doing a year in review thing I figured Brookegeery.com should jump on the bandwagon as well. That's right I am not a leader, I am a follower. I am not a woman! I am DEVO! All kidding aside I tend to be a bit shocked every month when I see people roll back to this site to consume whatever I put up. Brookegeery.com was started a few years ago and wouldn't you know it  - it's still going. At time Brookegeery.com has been a few different things - a my portfolio, a place to vent, a short-lived list…

Broadcasting Live from Mt. Hood on the Droid

In case you were wondering what I bought myself for Christmas, it was a much-needed new phone in the form of the Motorola Droid. Verizon managed to grant me my bitchin' $50 credit towards a new phone on actual Chrismas, which meant I had to wait a full day to get this bad boy. In short, it's like an iPhone, but not as "cool." To save you from having to comment, I didn't get an iPhone because I've had Verizon since 2001 and I figure, why switch now. So whatever. I'm sure you've seen the "droid does" commercials, unless of course, you don't have TV, in which case, I'll sum…

LT Park Day and Night

It's cool when ski areas support snowboarding and actually let people who snowboard promote them. Then you end up with websites like ltpark.com and the above video. But since you guys will probably all balk at the skier shots, we figured a little interview with LT Park's Will Moss was in order. YoBeat: Who is the LT Park Crew? Will: The LT Park Crew is a loose affiliation of snow sliders living in western Montana's Bitterroot Valley and recreating at Lost Trail Powder Mountain. We build parks with limited resources and have fun on other people's dimes. We try to positively combine the rural, laid-back attitude of the ski hill with (our…

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…

How to Keep the Dream Alive

This is from the 90s. I was sure I would "make it" and be as cool as JP was soon! If you are reading this site, there’s a good chance you do now, or at one point, wanted to be a pro snowboarder. I know I did. All the glamor, travel, and most importantly free stuff seemed mighty tempting. For me an injury essentially ended my “career,” but for most life just happens. One day, you wake up and realize you’re in your mid 20s and 17-year-old kids are way, way better than you ever were or ever will be. But don’t fret. The dream doesn’t have to die with…

Exclusive! YoBeat’s Official Scotty Lago Olympic Interview

We've got Olympic fever and it's mostly cause Scotty Lago made the team. Not only is he a good ol' New England boy, but he's down for a good time, even while trying to make Team USA. If anyone can show the world what snowboarding is really about (hint: not double corks) it's Scotty. As the only Frend on the Olympic team, do you think not being on a Burton board had anything to do with you making it? Naw, hahaha, but being the only one from the crew gives me more motivation to go and shred it So given Kevin and Danny's untimely injuries, did that help motivate you…
