Sunny Days
Here’s a little montage Trint Thomas threw together from one December 17th, one of the few sunny days this season. The riders in order are Corey McIntosh, Brian Choi, Myself and Trint Thomas himself. Filmed entirely in the Quiksilver Terrain Park, which if you have not check it out yet, is probably the best it’s ever been since I started riding park at Grouse.

Think Thank’s “Right Brain Left Brain”
Just picked up a copy of Think Thank’s 2010 release: Right Brain Left Brain. It was one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen, and that’s coming from a SKIER. For all you skiers out there, Think Thank is a snowboard video production company, who in my opinion, are miles ahead of anyone else (except for maybe FODT, just because they go so big) in terms of urban and creative jibbing. Think Traveling Circus and CASG on snowboards (but with more experience). It was literally mind-blowing. A wicked soundtrack, a good vibe, and riders who ALL hold it down. No filler tricks here. In short, amazing.
This is also the crew that Scott Stevens rides with. Best jibber out there in my opinion, two planks or one.
Though you may be being pulled in the direction of itunes movie, with the more affordable price, Think Thank’s RBLB is 100% worth the 30 dollars. 2 half-an-hour discs, plus bonus features, which are also sick. And there’s virtually NO talking and filler interviews, so you’re paying for a full hour of golden snowboarding, which is a nice change.
Pick up a copy at your local shop or at www.thinkthank.com.
See you on the hill, Dylan
SNOWDEO !?
Coming this February, Snowdeo is a two day railjam competition happening at Swanguard stadium. That’s right Swanguard stadium is going to be turned into a full-on urban park with features including rails, fences, a wall ride, a step-down jump and more.
The railjam will be the biggest of its kind in the lower main land with riders from all across North America competing for $20,000 of prizes. The event will also include entertainment, a beer garden, and DJ’s such as My!Gay!Husband! and The Hood Internet.
Organizers are expecting crowds of 5,000 a day during the two day event and are hoping to make this an annual event for the following years.
Hailing from North Bay, ONT, Jesmond Dubeau will be participating in Rail jam, Snowdeo.
It’s going to be a killer weekend and there’s no doubt that the riders are going to be throwing down at this event.

That’s all for now,

Schools Out!
Hey gang,
For most of you, including me, the coming up weeks are a sacred time of year. For a little over two weeks, young skiers and snowboarders get to put away their school books to shred their hearts out. It’s winter break! As you probably noticed, today was especially nice out, the sun was shinning, the birds were singing, and tricks were being stomped left right and centre. When I got up to the mountain, my jaw nearly hit the ground as I did my first lap through the quicksilver park checking out all the new features that were perfectly set up overnight. The park has variety, fluidity, perfectly set-up features, basically the sickest park I have ever seen grouse produce. Unfortunately right now I am on the injured list because two sundays ago, a certain flat rail and I weren’t getting along, which resulted in three broken bones in my hand. However, I came up with my camera to get some shots with a few of my friends. I hope everyone has an awesome holiday, and get’s the chance to check out the park. Big ups to the park crew and look out for an edit dropping real soon.
Cheers!
Simon.
Weekend Edit
It’s dumping snow here right now at Grouse and now that we are putting a mellow week behind us, it’s about time that we’ve got some snow. Despite all the rain and slush, I had time to get some weekend laps in with my buddies. I was stoked to get some footy with my new camera and make an edit.
Check it out!
Look out for more edits coming soon.
