Bode Merrill in "Neverland"

This part is definitely one of my favorites of all time. Bode Merrill has got to be one of the most talented snowboarders to have ever lived. If you don't believe me, check out the last trick in my One-Footers post from a few weeks ago. In his first year with Absinthe he managed to get the ender which is no easy feat!

Don't Do It In the Park!

If you've ever tried setting up an urban handrail or jump you know it attracts a lot of attention, both good and bad. I've been confronted by angry neighbors, annoyed cops, confused pedestrians, and dumbfounded kids but never someone as strange as this guy...

Trailers for the 2011-2012 Season!

The 2011-2012 season is close and snowboard companies are putting the final touches on their upcoming releases. An exciting time for sure because these films are an opportunity to show the snowboard community how the sport has changed and progressed over the past year. First we have a trailer for the upcoming Burton video "Standing Sideways." Legendary rail rider and newly proclaimed Burton am Ethan Diess will have a part in this film as well as Mark McMorris, one of the first riders to land a triple cork. Others include legends such as Terje Haakonsen, Nicolas Müller, and Jeremy Jones.

Kids on Shred Productions, in affiliation with Rome Snowboards, will be releasing "The Shred Remains" this upcoming season. Johnny Lazz is no longer an am and his part promises to be a great one. LNP always knows how to throw down creative and innovative parts; the back one tail grab gap rail midway through looks incredible! Rusty Ockenden, who landed the ender for Sandbox's "Now You Know," will also have a part in this film.
"Vacation" will be Forum's newest video and hopefully it can live up to the popularity of their last release "F IT." Forum regulars like Stevie Bell, Jake Welch, Nic Sauve, Andreas Wiig, and Pat Moore will have parts. Unfortunately John Jackson, who had the ender for the last two Forum videos, doesn't have a part. He is instead filming for the upcoming Red Bull video with Travis Rice and I hope the Forum video doesn't suffer without his presence.
I will post more trailers as they become available. Check out some earlier ones I posted as well!

One-Footers!


One-footers are awesome, plain and simple. Check out this edit from High Cascade featuring Scotty Vine, Scott Stevens, Mike Ravelson, Jesse Burtner, and Bode Merrill. Inverted japan air 720? No problem for Bode!
