Comments of the Week!

I have had a great week. I am finally starting to see some returns for all my hard work on my projects and it is dumping in the mountains! To make things even better, my internet hate following is gaining power and steam making for almost endless entertainment. Here are a few comments that I especially enjoyed this week! Turd Ferguson/naughty pool boy posts: Between this bullshit and Pat’s videos it’s becoming more and more apparent that Brooke will post nearly anything on this website.

Viewed and Reviewed: Hard to Earn

If you’ve been paying attention to snowboarding at all, then you probably know exactly the type of rider featured in FODT/MFM Production’s Hard to Earn. Snow Gangsters, I believe they are called. But for the sake of humor, let’s pretend to be an out-of-touch person right now. What would their reaction to this movie be? Well, they would be amazed that there were so many midgets who were so good at snowboarding. They would think, with that many midgets, maybe I should start a brand specifically catering to the little people who snowboard so they are longer forced to wear such giant apparel! And then we would end up with…

10 Reasons NOT to Move to Portland

Like Breckenridge in the 90s or Mammoth in the early part of this decade, Portland has become the hot spot for snowboarding. It’s an interesting choice, since the mountain is actually over an hour away, but it seems that being hip and urban is in these days. But as a Portland resident who has lived here since before it was cool (but not actually a native, those are like unicorns), I am here to tell you Portland is TOTALLY overrated. Here are ten definitive reasons why. 1.    It rains You’ve probably heard this rumor and it’s true. From Nov- March it rains pretty much every day. The worst part is…

Party Time Product Review: Gloves Part 3

Out of all the Party Time Product reviews, the glove reviews have definitely been the lamest. I mean, who really cares if you can eat tacos in gloves? But for the final test of the Drop, Dakine and Bonfire gloves we think we really nailed what matters. We lit them on fire. So now you'll know once and for all if you catch on fire, which gloves will protect you the best. No Party Time Nates were harmed in the filming of this test, however, you should still not actually try this one at home. [media id=34 width=555 height=320]

My First Snowboard: A True Story

For years I have maintained my first snowboard was a Burton Ouija board. Back then, there was no cooler snowboard than this, with its moon and sun twin tips and conflicting yes/no message. And sure, I was about 4”6’ and 80 pounds, and the board was a 158, but damn it, that’s what I wanted everyone to know I rode in those earliest of days. But I have a secret. I think only saw that Burton Ouija board sitting next to my actual first board: a hot pink Funky. The snowboards both belonged to the daughter of a friend of my father, who was under some sort of house arrest/rehab…

[imagebrowser id=39] In these tough economic times sometimes you have to wonder how the other half lives. Are the rich and powerful forced to eat ramen and work harder for less money like us common folk? I  decided to investigate just that, and got the chance with an invitation to Jake Burton’s Annual Fall Bash Every year the Burton-Carpenter family opens its home to employees, industry-types and regional business people alike, for a blow out like no other. You can expect great food, a big-time band and plenty of recreational opportunities to go around. But in this economy, and with Jake and Donna forgoing a salary, I had to wonder,…

My First Snowboard: A True Story

For years I have maintained my first snowboard was a Burton Ouija board. Back then, there was no cooler snowboard than this, with its moon and sun twin tips and conflicting yes/no message. And sure, I was about 4”6’ and 80 pounds, and the board was a 158, but damn it, that’s what I wanted everyone to know I rode in those earliest of days. But I have a secret. I think only saw that Burton Ouija board sitting next to my actual first board: a hot pink Funky. The snowboards both belonged to the daughter of a friend of my father, who was under some sort of house arrest/rehab…

Wah, Wah, Wah, Wah

[imagebrowser id=39] In these tough economic times sometimes you have to wonder how the other half lives. Are the rich and powerful forced to eat ramen and work harder for less money like us common folk? I  decided to investigate just that, and got the chance with an invitation to Jake Burton’s Annual Fall Bash Every year the Burton-Carpenter family opens its home to employees, industry-types and regional business people alike, for a blow out like no other. You can expect great food, a big-time band and plenty of recreational opportunities to go around. But in this economy, and with Jake and Donna forgoing a salary, I had to wonder,…

Comments of the Week!

I have had a great week. I am finally starting to see some returns for all my hard work on my projects and it is dumping in the mountains! To make things even better, my internet hate following is gaining power and steam making for almost endless entertainment. Here are a few comments that I especially enjoyed this week! Turd Ferguson/naughty pool boy posts: Between this bullshit and Pat’s videos it’s becoming more and more apparent that Brooke will post nearly anything on this website. Now I know the true identities of both of these commenters because they really didn't make any efforts to hide them, but I especially enjoyed…

Viewed and Reviewed: Hard to Earn

If you’ve been paying attention to snowboarding at all, then you probably know exactly the type of rider featured in FODT/MFM Production’s Hard to Earn. Snow Gangsters, I believe they are called. But for the sake of humor, let’s pretend to be an out-of-touch person right now. What would their reaction to this movie be? Well, they would be amazed that there were so many midgets who were so good at snowboarding. They would think, with that many midgets, maybe I should start a brand specifically catering to the little people who snowboard so they are longer forced to wear such giant apparel! And then we would end up with…

10 Reasons NOT to Move to Portland

Like Breckenridge in the 90s or Mammoth in the early part of this decade, Portland has become the hot spot for snowboarding. It’s an interesting choice, since the mountain is actually over an hour away, but it seems that being hip and urban is in these days. But as a Portland resident who has lived here since before it was cool (but not actually a native, those are like unicorns), I am here to tell you Portland is TOTALLY overrated. Here are ten definitive reasons why. 1.    It rains You’ve probably heard this rumor and it’s true. From Nov- March it rains pretty much every day. The worst part is…

Party Time Product Review: Gloves Part 3

Out of all the Party Time Product reviews, the glove reviews have definitely been the lamest. I mean, who really cares if you can eat tacos in gloves? But for the final test of the Drop, Dakine and Bonfire gloves we think we really nailed what matters. We lit them on fire. So now you'll know once and for all if you catch on fire, which gloves will protect you the best. No Party Time Nates were harmed in the filming of this test, however, you should still not actually try this one at home. [media id=34 width=555 height=320]
