MIA

Two names are missing from the team page over at burton.com. Computer glitch or a sign of things to come? The message boards are talking that two more rider names will be removed?
Yeah yeah yeah...economic downturn we get it already.

Get Em While Their Cheap!

For more info check out their website. There is going to be a huge national (NORAM) contest this year at Martock, first weekend in March, in addition to all the other events planned (Hammer Time, Burton's Youth Gone Wild, Analog's Spin to Win, Volcom's Peanut Butter Rail Jam, NSSA events, Billabong's Flaunt It, etc). Riders from all over Canada are going to be in town to participate, should be an awesome event.

Snowboard Company For Sale on Craigslist

During economic down turns opportunities can arise. Over on Craigslist someone is selling a "respected" snowboard company, started in 2004 and based in SoCal.

"Selling an action sports/snowboard brand on craigslist? Sure, why not?! Isn’t doing things in unusual ways what it’s all about? We would like to unload a burgeoning snowboard and action sports label (hardgoods & softgoods) to an interested party who could manage its affairs in a more successful & professional manner. Basically, we have “grown too much to be small” and we are still “too small to be big.” You can take this Action Sports company to the next level by purchasing or absorbing it as an already-existing independent brand with a unique market presence.

This brand has been around for 5 years, yet has remained under the radar. It has been lauded for producing The Best Snowboard In the World, with an eco-friendly green approach to manufacturing and a reputation as one of the most sought-after snowboard decks amongst core snowboarders."

Any guesses?
-Omatic?
-Signal?
-Trilogy Arts?
-Glissade?

Thrasher Skateboard Magazine

I don't think Thrasher is really stoked on their "corporate sponsor" for Back to the Berg. I love that Jake calls them out on not even having anyone who could participate.

New Rubber Player Colorway

I didn't post the first two colorways cuz I didn't like the colors but I am feeling the green more.

"Nixon, the premium accessories company from Southern California, is set to release the third surprise color in the limited edition Rubber Player 4x4 series.
For the third installment in the 4x4 series, we are proud to announce a new green colorway. Shipping on May 15th, participating retailers will receive four limited edition Rubber Players in green."

I guess these are pretty popular with the kids, a lot of shops have sold out very quickly with the first two colors.
"The Rubber Player features a 3-hand Japanese quartz movement, custom molded silicone case and band and diamond."

Dylan Reider Gravis Pro Model

To be released very soon to stores are the Dylan (pictured in grey) and the Dylan Mid LX (pictured in black). There are times in shoe design that just change the game, ES Koston 2, ES Koston 3, Etnies Sal Barbier 23, Vans Era, etc. Is another moment in skate shoe history or Fairfax Ave lurking into the industry? A bunch of people are wearing the Dylan already and are claiming pretty hard how comfy they are. Super low profile but check out the footbed if you get a chance, crazy!
