Found this over on shredordie.com. Pretty good edit and footage and a nice little fight at the skate park. Notice how empty the Commons are? I guess bikers had the park to themselves this past summer when the skateboarders didn't feel like getting no helmet tickets, arrested and harassed by the cops.
Anyone want to go for a drive to Vermont? Burton just opened another Stash at Killington. I now know where I am going this spring. Thanks to Amanda Wormann for the photos and fellow dirty jersey native Joshua Finklestein.
Danny you stormed onto the seen waving the flag of the "core". Preaching your Grenade anti corporate, fuck off big brands message. Then you sign with Oakley and then to Nike, then Grenade makes a glove for the X Games. And with all the innovation and money at Nike this is what you agree to? And what's up with the Braveheart hairstyle and the double tongue'd snowboard boot, how does that help you??? I like Danny but who are his people???
I am not a fan of the FIS or organized snowboarding for the most part, hockey moms and dads in the snowboard park or at the bottom of the pipe talking about points and execution is fucked up. I understand the doors competing can open for young people. Its when you see shit like this I question why some many people are trying to bring snowboarding to the masses when the masses just don't get it. This is a photo of the Executive Board Meeting of the the 2009 FIS Snowboard World Championships, looks like a "core" bunch of suits. On a another note, our girl Sarah Conrad is over in Korea to compete at this stop of the FIS tour, too bad she had to give up her spot at the X Games because she has to compete in a certain amount of FIS events and land her runs 60% of the time to keep her spot on the Canadian team. Good luck Sarah!
