After having their plans to shoot backcountry in Cooke City shut down by bad conditions, Eero, Heikki, Lauri and homie Aaron Biittner hit the highway to shred a selection of epic US parks. Cue some of the funnest shredding you’ll see for a while…

The Finnish trio Eero Ettala, Heikki Sorsa, and Lauri Heiskari meet up with Aaron Biittner and go on a good ol’ American road trip. After getting skunked in the Montana Backcountry, they head to the resorts sessioning the parks at Bear Mountain, Northstar, and Park City. Enjoy!

Big names in skateboarding and snowboarding have come together to build the world’s largest community of skateboarders and snowboarders by launching Spot Digger – The App for finding the best Skate- and Snowboarding spots around the world. Spot Digger has been originally founded by Eero Ettala and Fredu Sirviö and has an impressive global team of professional riders behind it. The development of the Spot Digger app has been financed by Samsung Finland.

Spot Digger is a location based social mobile application and internet service that lets users search, find, share and rate the best skate and snow spots, and lets them add their favorite ones to the map and list favorite locations. The users will create the content by adding their own spots. The application lets users see all the spots on the map and in a list view. They can also search for specific locations filtered by distance, name, rating and type. They can check in to spots, add photos and information about their own locations and rate other’s spots and pictures. In the news feed, users can see in real time what others are up to;

“I check the Spot Digger news feed all the time to check where my friends shred.” Says Halldor Helgason, Spot Digger team rider.

Spot Digger has an impressive global team of professional riders behind it; the snowboard team includes global super stars: Eero Ettala, Mark McMorris, Aaron Biittner, Fredu Sirvio, Halldor Helgason Eiki Helgason and Heikki Sorsa. The skateboard team includes professional skateboarders: Madars Apse, Jaakko Ojanen, Simo Makela, Jesse Turunen and Pirkka Pollari and more joining soon.

The team members will be an active part of the Spot Digger community. They will create content such as blog posts on spotdigger.com, videos and pictures for Spot Digger, list their own favorite spots while travelling the world taking part in the biggest contests and filming for the most popular skateboard and snowboard movies.

“I used to have hundreds of spots in my head and finally there is a way to store them all on my phone. I feel like I have tons of free brain capacity again.” Says Eero Ettala, one of the founders.

With Spot Digger you have all the spots in the world in your pocket plus you can easily see what your friends and professional riders are up to. Spot Digger offers an easy way to follow your friends, the pros and your favorite brands. Samsung Finland is Spot Digger’s main launch partner and actively participates in related events. “Samsung is passionate about sports and we think that snow- and skateboarding are really exciting pursuits. We have been involved in organizing sports-related events in the past and have developed products, such as the Galaxy Xcover, that offers durability and are perfect for snow- and skateboarders. We’re excited to be a part of the Spot Digger launch as it is a cool, new innovation that helps snowboarders and skateboarders find the best spots to do their thing”, says Samsung Finland’s marketing manager Eva Carrero.

The application was launched worldwide for Android during Board Expo trade fair 2nd -4th November 2012 in Helsinki. The iOS version of the application will be launched worldwide in the beginning of January 2013.

Dye, a new entry into the world of snowboard eyewear, just dropped over some info on a new easy lens change system they’ve developed, and it looks pretty interesting. Check it…

Dye has designed a new innovative lens attachment system integrated into their new large fit frame, appropriately named the CLK ™, aka the Click (patents pending). It’s no doubt that over the last few seasons’ frameless design, oversize fit, and fast lens changing stories have taken the goggle world by storm. The Dye CLK ™ is a premier goggle, offering a large fit with an expanded field of view, combined with one of the fastest and simple lens changing systems ever. The lens literally clicks in and out with the push of a button.

The technology was debuted at SIA in January, shown as a sneak peak of what is to come from Dye. After additional testing from select team riders, minor adjustments were made to ensure the CLK system was ready for retail this fall.

“I like being able to give input and feedback and have it reflected in the product.” – Bjorn Leines.

The CLK will be available this fall in four colors and two different price points. All models include additional lenses, so riders can utilize the click feature and rapidly change lenses on hill, the lift, or in the backcountry. Base models come with two lenses and a hard case. Upgraded models come with one polarized lens and two additional lenses.

Check this killer edit of what went down when JP Walker, Joe Sexton and Aaron Biittner hit up Halifax for a jib mission filming for People’s Good Look.

This edit has a super nice vibe and some solid rail ripping in it to boot.

DC have dropped another of their epic This is Snowboarding installments, this time featuring homie Aaron Biittner riding more pow than is probably healthy for him. Wow.

A lot of this unreal pow footage is from the same Standard Films trip the Torstein Horgmo webisode we just posted was shot on, plus there’s a decent amount of urban action and booter jumping to keep all-comers stoked. The gap to boardslide ender is just nuts… Enjoy.

…and a bunch of ‘I Ride Park City‘ riders showed up: Alex Sherman, Scotty Arnold, Sage Kotsenburg, Blake Geis, Blake Paul, Sam Taxwood, Stevie Bell, Blaze Kotsenburg, Parker Duke, Knut Eliassen, Aaron Biittner, Tim Ronan, Chris Grenier, and Bode Merrill. Park City. Always worth a trip.

The 20th film in the legendary Totally Board series is getting ready to drop, and from this teaser for TB20 it looks like in addition to hammers from last winter from some of the heaviest names in the game there’s gonna be a bit of a history angle too. Being that they kicked off making shred films in 1991, there’s a fair bit of goodness back in the day to explore.

“Totally Board” movies pioneered big mountain snowboarding and revolutionized action sports movie production in a way that captured the essence of the sport. Fast-forward two decades later to TB20, where the legacy lives on through the ultra extreme snowboarding of today’s most talented pro shredders on the planet!
