Finally the video from Skeleton Crew is here. Nice shredding. Personally I think a lot of the videos this year are a bit too much the same. This one, the Airblaster movie and Videograss. The favorite is the Airblaster movie.
Mikkel Bang with the Love snowboard. And no – we havn´t changed our minds and we still think this graphic is crap.
Norwegian super shredder joins Nike 6.0. The 6.0 label hasn´t really made it in Europe. I guess it has to do with the fact that Nike SB still is both hyped and still a bit rare. The snekaers from the 6.0 is a bit more common.
This package is called The Super Nova Project. And first of all – it´s super limited. With only 20 sets world wide you´ll probably never see anyone shredding in this style. The set concists of a nice jacket, a pair of snowboarding boots, your average NB sneakers and a cap. For a full story on The Super Nova Project please see Mike West´s blog.
But there´s also a collab between New Balance and 686 on some snowboard boots. And these are easier to get.
Apparently the snow is dumping in Norway. Our favorite resort Geilo has already opened! Usually the snow conditions in Geilo are good but not excellent around the time for christmas. So this year it´s a early start. Be sure to check t out. It´s quite near to Hemsedal if you want some bigger riding.
Norwegian trick kid Andreas Wiig signs with Forum After 3 years with Nitro he has now left the company. It most be a bit of a shock for Nitro. Especially since they paid Omatic a lot of money to get him those 3 years ago.
The big talk now is if Wiig will leave Vans as well. Usually the Forum team riders goes “all in”. So what´s up next for Nitro? Rumours are suggesting they might try to involve some of the L1 riders. Maybe Nima Jalali?
Koston is wearing the Janoski´s. Good to see. We even think this is great. The big question is if the first pro shoe for Koston on Nike will be a dunk, or a new model.
