Have a look at this rad edit of the Arbor team tearing Boreal’s park set up apart.

Arbor have quietly made the transition from being ‘that eco brand’ into a a company with a fully legit set up up-and-comers on its books. You’ll have seen Scotty Vine busting out his insane one-foot stuff, and by the looks of this edit of the crew ripping Boreal, the whole team can hold it down too.

Arbor Snowboards team riders, Ian Sams, Erik Leon, Scotty Vine, Mariah Dugan, Sammy Spiteri, and Brandon Hammid hooked up near Lake Tahoe, California for the Boreal Sessions! The park crew at Boreal Mountain built some creative set ups and the Arbor team laid down proper trick after proper trick. Good times with a great crew at a mountain the gets it. Enjoy.

It’s been a while that we posted a bHappy park edit. But with a new Boreal park setup, the usual Motown sound, and good riding all over the place this Boardin’ in Boreal edit (number 5 to be precise) is the shit. Featuring Sammy Spiteri, Durell Williams, Max Tokunaga, Ben Strause, and Nial Romanek. Video by bHappyists Paul Heran and Bryce Hymans.

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.

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.

Here at Onboard, at least sometimes we’re trying to rep the cause of stylish snowboarding. Which is why we’ll post this video of the Givin crew at Boreal.

Givin shreds Boreal in Tahoe!! The whole crew came out for this “One”, only missing Wyatt as he was recovering from his avalanche last season. To all who wondered about “One” being on iTunes for download, this edit shall shed light on that subject. It’s a Givin!!!

At least they're not skiing.

If you are into Danny Larsen, this has been your week. An ESPN and a Yobeat interview as well as a Day in the Life within seven days. What more could you ask for? Without waiting for your answer we just throw everything at you that is remotely within the triangle snowboarding – wack – awesome. Enjoy our latest edition of This Week in Snowboarding!

SATURDAY

Danny Larsen talks about metal art. Nick Visconti is now a Session rider. Cody Beiersdorf’s full part from Poachers X is worth your attention. Yobeat continues to reject bad edits. Seb Toots wins an FIS big air comp in Sweden.

The Pirates have fun in Oslo. Benny Urban & Co. shred the Dachstein. ClasSICK is the teaser for yet another solid Polish flick. Here’s the wrap-up video of the Backyard Bang in Denver. Here’s part one of the excellent Terry Kidwell episode of “Powder and Rails”. Nils Arvidsson and Bryan Fox ride the shit out of their parts in the current Nitro movie. Yobeat is treating their interns even worse than we do. Here’s the Capital Rail Jam recap (scroll down for the video). Would you call your crew ‘Montana‘ if you only rode fridges? These kids did it. Nick Dirks stars in the third Airblaster Family Portrait. Dani Rajcsanyi keeps things sick and simple. The O Chas G shows you how to do a front blunt switch up half cab out on a down rail. And if you’re cool you’ll shred the park no matter how much pow is around you.

The image would be funnier if you knew that it is quite hard to get the kicker and the Munich television tower to appear in one image.

We produced this humble edit of Alessandro Boyens doing some epic pow turns in Saas-Fee. The Air&Style returns to Munich (and we talk to Ethan Morgan about it).

Kilimanjaro: La Niña strikes.

Pirates boss Basti Balser gets some coverage on the Snowboarder Mag site. The Flux pre-roll ad sucks, but behind that lies Travis Rice’s Behind the Cover clip. More Boreal TVC stuff can be found here. Kyle Miller seems to be in good control of his snowboard. And who would have thought: Girls and bungee cords mix well.

That’s all for now. No, wait: Have you seen this guy by any chance?

Good weekend everyone…

"This Week in Snowboarding? Not AGAIN!"

A week is a long time in snowboarding. That’s why we made it shorter: Due to the absence of our entire web crew on Friday this This Week in Snowboarding only has six days. (if you are wondering where we are going: the Nike Snowboarding football tourny) However, it is once again full of awesome videos, interviews, and absurdities, too. Check. It. Out.

SATURDAY

The Euro Rome team shreds the Stubai Glacier. The Pirates crew shreds Sweden. Chris Bradshaw has good days in his life, and John Jackson can’t remember last night.

SUNDAY

Burton remixes Keegan Valaika. Pro Bono is a solid free movie. When you have enough snow Hamburg is a great rail spot, and Zharevo is an Eastern European shred flick.

Some more riding from the Stubai park opening can be located here, the TTR talks about Method airs here, the Terje-and-the-IOC-story can be followed here, the Random Bastards release their full movie, Chas Guldemond drops into his first webisode, the Angry Snowboarder has the second Outlaw Outruns teaser, Utah has more jib setups than Mormons, the Ride team has some pre-season fun, Kazu and Mikey continue riding for Burton, Desiree Melancon now smells as good as she looks, Jed Anderson talks about swivelling on rails, and the House of 1817 presents their full movie (banger!)

Hitchhikers have to get ever more creative in order to get picked up.

THURSDAY

We post the legendary Euro Gap 2, Maria Thomsen’s rail riding is pretty, pretty good, The Ästhetiker hit pow kickers at the Arlberg, BHP’s Spend It All has some good sponsors, the Stubai Premiere highlight vid looks alright, Ted Borland’s movie part is sick, Yobeat follows the L1 team, the Angry Snowboarder posts the It’s on Tape flick, and Flow has a nice edit of Scotty Lago’s shenanigans at the Olympics.
