Zimtstern, one of our favorite outerwear and streetwear brands, are releasing some new stuff for the summer. Amongst others is this really good looking skateboard deck. The deck pictured is called Survive and comes – as all Zimtstern skateboards – in three sizes: 7.5, 7.675 and 7.7. Zimtstern also releases t-shirts in the same design as the decks.
For the summer Zimtstern is releasing three different styles of skateboard decks and one old school model in 8.625.
We gave you the tip on Machotaildrop some time ago. Now the movie is out. Try to see it at a cinema near you, or if you live in Northern Europe (like we do) just sit back and wait for the dvd release.
Nike SB goes with the flow and releases a pair of skateable pants. Since the pants have Paul Rodriguez name they are more relaxed than tight. You´ll probably find these at your local skate shop.

Swedish lifestyle brand and local heroes Appertiff are back with a new range. As for the summer it´s more about chilling than snowboarding. But the style is as always spot on. Now the range is updated with traditional oxford shirts as well as the more common t-shirts and hoodies.
Jeremy Jones new company – Jones Snowboards – with snowboards made by Nidecker looks really good. Just like when it comes to Yes Snowboards Nidecker seems to be good with letting the riders have control over the r&d.
This year there was a lot of buzz about Yes Snowboards. They were a bit tricky to find, but everyone who rode them seemed more than pleased. Our guess is that next year there will be a lot of talking about the freeride machines from Jones Snowboards. The pow board from Jones – The Hovercraft looks really…intense. We´re not sure how it will work on groomers thou. Similar snowboards such as the Fish from Burton works fine on groomers as well. But it´s a bit hard to ride aggressive with since it´s a bit too much of everything. Still it´s great when it comes to powder.
