YoBeat’s Guide to Proper Goggle Care
No matter how many cool guys are rocking sunglasses these days, goggles are still a necessary part your snowboard kit. They protect you from the elements, keep your face warm, and give you amazing tan lines! But an often-unappreciated use of goggles is that with proper care, they can up the difficulty level of your snowboarding, making you a more badass dude. Riding down the bunny slope is easy, unless of course, you can’t see anything. Or try hitting a jump when the fog is completely socked in. Pretty tricky to spot that landing, huh? A few simple tricks and you’re goggles will be in peak shape in no time.…

Behind the Scenes at the Nikita Chickita
Magalie Dubois. Geery photo. It wouldn’t be right for me to just write a story about the Nikita Chickita and gush about how great it is and how much fun everyone had. You see, I have been helping to put on this event for the past two seasons, and in the biz, I believe they call that a “conflict of interest." So instead, this account of the event will be what you couldn’t see but I know -- the behind the scenes action at the Nikita Chickita. First off you may ask, why would you try to put on an event against the Dew Tour, The Arctic Challenge and the…

The New Park in Portland
Portland has a lot of skateparks. I know because every time I tell someone I live here, they inform me, oh, you guys have so many awesome skateparks. It's neat. It's also cool when it fails to snow much, because it's dry and at least you can skate. And as of last week, we have a new one. The Ed Benedict Skate Plaza is out there on SE Powell, somewhere around 120nd ave. It's far out, unless of course you live in deep South East. But enough rambling. Here are some pictures. This section of the park is like choose your own adventure. There are several options for how extreme…

Welcome to the 90’s
I've recently returned from the Legendary Banked Slalom at Mt. Baker. Definitely one of the best contests out there, I was excited that Adryan not only forced me to go, but actually paid me for my services (impressive in these though economic times.) For the first time ever, I actually stayed in Glacier, which is sort of like another planet. On top of being dark all day long even on the brightest days, it still lacks cell service and Internet. I remember this from my years in Bellingham, but since that was more than 5 years ago (gulp) I thought maybe things had changed. Such was not the case! After…
