You know that movie The Art of Flight? Well this is like the total the opposite. VHS ain’t dead yet, bitches!

These dudes went out and ripped pow, filmed it on something old enough to be their dads and then recorded it through a cathode ray TV the likes of which you generally only see these days at flea markets for “nice price my friend.” They’re also doing a zine (albeit with a 21st century bent), which is pretty rad, and generally appear to be trying to make 2013 the new 1983. There’s going to be more from these gents, as the chat confirms…

“HOLIDAZE” is WARP WAVE’S first video installment, filmed over the month of December. With snowboarding by Eric Messier, Gray Thompson, Brendan Gerard, Curtis Woodman, Alex Scott and Ben Rice, “HOLIDAZE” depicts early season pow riding in Tahoe enjoyed by this group of friends. Enjoy watching these fun snowboarding sessions and stay tuned for more from WARP WAVE.

Sponsored in part by COMUNE, Arcade, Bozwreck, and Spring Break Snowboards.

More snow surfing from the Spring Break Snowboards boys on their unique, hand-crafted shred steeds. Check Eric Messier, Corey Smith and Ben Rice get all lo-fi in Mt Batchelor.

Spring Break Snowboards were conceived as a vacation from conventional board design where the looser the shape of the deck and more uncommon the ingredients translates to more flavor being brought to the party. Corey Smith is the mad scientist behind Spring Break and each handmade creation is a study in abstract descent theory. Check out this documentation of the latest Spring Break test expedition from Mt. Bachelor, OR.

We hooked up with Bataleon and Switchback slasher Ben Rice, filmed him getting his stunt on and had him walk us through his kit. Check it out!

And just as we were about to press the magic ‘Publish’ button, we had word from our man Thrashmore at Bataleon informing us that the all-singing, all-dancing new Bataleon website is now up and running. So if Ben’s done his job right you’ll no doubt want to click over to sink your teeth in further to check out – amongst other slick kit – Thrashmore’s tips: the Global Warmer, the Camel Toe and Gulli Gudmundson’s Disaster, plus all their brand new outerwear range they’ve just dropped.

As for Ben, well, he’s certainly got the vampire jib steeze on lock, likes blood, and can operate a snowboard rather well indeed.

Last November the Bataleon crew came together for the first time to ride and test next season’s boards. Follow Ben Rice, DBK, Ethan Morgan, Gulli Gudmundsson, Kyle Lopiccolo and team manager L’Arrogs ride Hintertux, Stubai Glacier and Kitzsteinhorn.

However, now they dropped their full-length movie, and it actually contains some decent snowboarding. It is still quite edgy, and we guess forgetting to deinterlace your video can be seen as art these days.
