Airblaster rider Colleen Quigley and fellow Peep Show ladies take off to North Carolina for some filming this past winter. Check out some of the footage from this winter and be sure to look for the full length film dropping in the fall!
I'm sure if you wanted to you could wear the sumo suit underneath a wet suit, but we don't recommend it maybe a dry suit. German Airblaster rider Simon Reichel wore his after surf sessions during his trip in Scotland.
Airblaster riders Nick Dirks, Brandon Cocard, AB co-founder Jesse Grandkoski, filmer Austin Will and photographer Kipp Hinkley set off Russia to visit our Russian distributors and have the adventure of a lifetime. Day one snowboarding in Russia, a new land. After a 40 hour travel day followed by a 10 hour vodka-bath party, we woke up to try to get everyones mind wrapped around some urban shredding. We went to scope a bunch of spots that were really sketchy, but which our newly appointed Russian guide/photog/expert assured us were really great. One spot in particular was a steep down bar with a 5-foot long landing, into a dirty duck poop pond. Clearly, hitting the rail would land you land you in duck shit. The conversation went like this: Nick Dirks: "That rail lands right in the water." Guide / TDB: "No it doesn't." Nick: "No, it DOES." TDB: "No, it doesn't, and besides the water is shallow." We moved on quickly, to scope out some other sketchy spots before deciding on this down-flat ledge that Nick decided to set up as a wall-jam to down-flat. We ended up having a pretty good day for waking up really really "jet lagged" and then being pressured to launch into duck poo. Then we went to McDonalds of Moscow which is similar to the US-version, except that instead of special sauce, they have 'cheese sauce' to dip your fries in. Pretty cool. Then we had free time. Stay tuned for this fall's release of the new AB movie about Russian Adventures. Its called Spicy Balls, Kroska! so you know it has to be good.

The Academy Snowboards’ crew reunited for Camp Academy ‘Round 2’ and one last hurrah to cap off the snowboard season at Boreal. Campers enjoyed the forgiving spring conditions on day 1 while adding some last minute moves to their shred resumes. Besides learning board control, park skills, and demoing 2012 Academy Snowboards, campers also got lessons on board waxing and a wheat pasting tutorial to show them how to create their own ‘propaganda’.
A spring storm ripped through the mountains on day 2 dropping a foot of snow on Boreal. The coaches and campers were stoked (and surprised) to make some late season powder slashes and celebrate the end to an epic season in Tahoe!
Airblaster rider Brandon Cocard will be coaching up at Windells once again this summer, here's a look at some of the boarding that went down last summer.
2011 was the first year for Rhythm n Bruise, an event held up at White Pass, WA. From the looks of it, it went off with complete success. Here's some highlights from the event.
Its about that time of the year when we begin to receive plenty of closing day videos from your home resort. We can't wait to see more tweaking, slapping, tail-wheelies and pow shots! Here's a closing day video from Aunti films at Breck.

Last week I finally did it. Sure maybe I cheated a little but I finally asked a question with not one correct answer. Now I am not tying to be a jerk here and keep a lucky winner from getting some Airblaster gear. I was just trying for once to stump everyone. It was a success. My VW rabbit is a 08 and has 53,000 miles and change on it. Many people guessed way to high thinking it was a old rabbit I am sure. Ha ha ha friends, ha ha ha... Really, thanks for the guesses, we had fun.
