Ride With Us Crew Head to Big Sky Country

Tom Copsey — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:13:53 +0000

Ride riders Austin Hironaka, John Shaw and Seth Kitzke continue their roadtripping as they score the goods on a mission to Cooke City. Peep this…

With not much going on in the Northwest the RWU crew jumped in the car and drove East to Cook City, MT to meet up with Todd Kirby and friends. Soon upon arrival in “kook city” came large volumes of snow! After about 5 hours there were already 7-8 inches on the ground, so they headed up the hill and built 2 jumps to have them ready when the weather cleared. Once the jumps where built they just explored the area and kept going back to the jumps to make sure no one high marked the landing. Well luckily enough at the same exact time that the sun came out, 2 snowboarders and a sledneck put tracks in both of the jump landings, subsequently ending the trip… When we got home we decided it would be best just to board in our backyard, “Ski Acres”.

Ride With Us – Where’s La Nina?

In this, their third webisode of season 2, the Ride With Us crew of Austin Hironaka, John Shaw, Seth Kitzke and Austin Sweetin endure rain and pain but get it done in their backyard BC. Have a look.

The RWU crew experienced an unusual month, which consisted of high temperatures and mass volumes of rain. Instead of traveling anywhere they decided to stay put and film what they could in their own backyard. On their first sled mission of the year, they found a wall ride at the top of a mountain and had a rad time getting all urban in the backcountry.

A few days later they saddled up the sleds again to create a wooden pole jam in the backcountry. Once they found the right tree they cut it down with spoons and proceeded on with a good long jib session. After they rested up from the pole jam, they headed up to Crystal Mountain to film some rail goodness.

Ride With Us Crew Hit Up California

Tom Copsey — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 09:30:09 +0000

Ride Snowboards team dudes Austin Hironaka, John Shaw and Seth Kitzke hit up the parks of California in the second episode of this neat li’l web series. Peep for sweet park ripping.

This is how they break this episode down…

So we got a little impatient waiting for snow in Washington so decided to road trip down to Mammoth Mountain for opening day. On our way down we thought it would be fun to take a pit stop and ride Boreal for a few days to get some early season shots, while working out all the kinks before Mammoth opening day.

After riding Boreal for 2 full days, we headed to Mammoth to meet up with Ride regional rider Chuck Evans. We rode three great days at Mammoth and got to party with Chuck for the opening day festival. As soon as we woke up the next morning we headed north to Portland to meet up with Brian Fox and pick up Hironaka’s first snowmobile. Once we got Hiro’s sled, we drove up to Mt. Baker for a super deep opening day.

Shout out to SixEleven Productions for getting ‘Ride With Us’ off the ground and running strong last season. Mike Peterson, the main man and filmer behind SixEleven, went back to school and couldn’t shoot season 2. Look for the SixEleven crew to make appearances in RWU episodes this season.

Ride Snowboards Announces Rider Line Up And Fires Up New Team Site

Tom Copsey — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 12:47:52 +0000

Our buds over at Ride Snowboards have made some tweaks to their team – bumping a couple of dudes up to pro status and recruiting new Rookies – and launched a new Team microsite where you can keep up with their haps. Read more…

Following the launch of its 2012 product offering and website, Ride Snowboards is amped to announce some big changes to the pro team. Ride favorites including Sebastien Toutant, Mikey Leblanc, Jake Blauvelt, Hana Beaman, Juuso Laivisto, Marco Feichtner and Darrell Mathes will now make room for Alex Cantin and Austin Hironaka, both of whom have paid some serious dues in the Ride lineup over past seasons.

Joining Ride’s Rookie pro team will be Dani Raycsani from Germany along with Clemens Schattschneider and Sebi Geiger of Austria, who bring the latest style and progression out of Europe to the global stage and are making all the right moves to motivate the next level of snowboarding. The fresh-faced additions to the international team are wonder boys Yuki Kadono of Japan and Seamus O’Conner who splits his talents between Ireland and the USA. These youngsters caught up with professional snowboarding by the age of 13 and have no signs of slowing down. They are without a doubt the future of riding.

Ride’s Team section hosts complete coverage of International, Rookie, and regional riders from North America, Europe and Japan – Riders like Silvia Mittermüller whose unmatched technical stylings have been crushing the women’s contest circuit for years, Japanese legends Aki Hiraoka and Takashi Nishida, along with everyone’s favorite Canadian stunt/comedian Andrew Hardingham.

Building off of the record snow season that lasted until the summer months, Ride has geared up for the best year in snowboarding history with a product and team line-up that promises to deliver temptation until the season begins and carry you through the last lift in the spring.
