Burton Hip Session!

Hip sessions are my favorite. Why? It's a time when pros forget about doing double corks and other tech tricks and just try to boost some serious height with style. Nothing beats that feeling of hanging lazily in the air doing only a grab or a mellow spin.

This definetely one of the best sessions I have ever seen. Featuring Mikkel Bang, Keegan Valaika, Mads Johnson, Mark Sollors, Jack Mitrani, and last but not least Charlies Reid. Just wait for his last trick; I've never seen someone that high on a hip before!

O'Neill Evolution 2011!

Here are some clips of the O'Neill Evolution contest earlier this year. Pretty gnarly! Seb Toots of course kills it; I mean pole jam frontside rodeo and cab double cork 1260 is pretty hard to beat! His gold in the Winter X-Games was definitely well deserved; he's a phenomenal rider for sure.

It's been a long time since I've seen a rail jam quite like this one!  This contest definitely shows how far rail riding has come these last few year!  Some very heavy tricks were thrown down at this contest; almost everyone seemed like they should have won!

The results were as follows:
1. Mike Casanova (USA)
2. Jamie Nicholls (GBR)
3. Forest Bailey (USA)
4. Wojtek Pawlusiak (POL)
5. Keegan Valaika (USA)
6. Eiki Helgason (ICE)
7. Dani Rajcsanyi (GER)
8. Boris Bühler (SUI)

Loonatics!

Unfortunately east coast shredding often doesn't get enough attention. Regardless, that doesn't mean these kids can't kill it. Check out this edit from Loon Mountain in New Hampshire; it's pretty damn dope!

Joe Sexton in "Cheers"

I managed to find a video of his ender in "Cheers," People's flick this year. Check it out; Joe is truly a gifted rail rider. He took a beating last season to get this part; props to him for that! Hopefully it'll stay up long enough on YouTube for people to see and appreciate it...

"Day and Age" by Sandbox

"Now You Know" is definitely one of the best snowboard flicks this year and it looks like Sandbox doesn't plan to disappoint next year as well! Check out their early season teaser for "Day and Age;" it looks like they've already thrown down some pretty solid bangers!

"Ammo" Teaser!

Dropping next year is "Ammo," a film by 32 and Etnies. I'm definetely looking forward to it; some of my favorite riders like Brandon Hobush, Chris Brewster, and Tyler Flanagan (got bronze in X-Games slopestyle this year!) will be shredding in this flick!

Other riders include Dylan Alito, Spencer Schubert, Mike Ravelson, Johnny Brady, Parker Worthen, Stale Sandbech, and Brandon Larson.

Torstein Killing It!

Since he landed the triple cork in the X-Games (debatable whether or not he actually landed it but still pretty gnarly), Torstein Horgmo has been getting a lot of attention. He's a great rider and definitely deserves to be in the spotlight! Here's a video of him riding for DC Shoes with some footage from his part in this year's Standard Film "The Storming."
