Wes Muresan is a six-year-old snowboarder, and his Burton teammate and long-time internet sensation Red Gerard is a mere 12-year-old snowboarder. They shred the Woodward at Copper park in this ad for the Woodward Grom Session. Amazing stuff.

Cab 9s for days in this Burton Snowboards clip featuring Danny Davis, Mikkel Bang, Marko Grilc, Christian Haller, Mark McMorris, Seppe Smits, Peetu Piiroinen, and Roope Tonteri. Flat spins, cork spins, double cork spins, and even Seppe’s crazy spin-rewind thing all look good during these spring park sessions from last season.

Check the second part of our video preview exposing some of 2014′s new snowboard outerwear. 

From Vans’s Tyler Chorlton-endorsed  jacket that uses waxed canvas so it ages to Nikita’s killer new girls’ range (displayed on the most awesome mannequins ever) and more, there’s some killer outerwear coming our next season. We hit up a bunch of brands at ISPO to see what they were most pumped on. Check out part 2… and when you’re done you can peep Part 1 of our look at 2014′s snowboard outerwear.

Following Nico on a run peppered with side hits is something every snowboarder should do. Thanks to Burton you can now achieve this without pitching up to Laax for the winter and stalking the poor dude like a mental.

A place like Mt. Baker is already basically a natural snowboard park for any riders, but for someone like Nicolas Müller, it’s heaven. Bouncing, buttering, and jumping off everything, it was hard to keep up with him for these follow cam shots, but watching him send it further and bigger than everyone else was jaw dropping.

We asked a bunch of brands to show us the bindings from their 2014 range that they were most hyped on, and gave them an open mic to say what’s so awesome about them. Check out what they picked.

Check the lowdown from brands like Rome, K2, Ride, Burton, Union and Salomon.

The B have bro’d down with the N to produce a new app for Nokia phones running Windows 8 that allows you to shoot and morph sequences of your homies, get up-to-date resort forecasts and comes complete with pre-loaded shred playlists. The PR title of ‘Seqs, Runs and Rock & Roll’ was quite inspired too.

If you have the Nokia Lumia 620, 820 or 920 and you nab this free app you’ll be able film a line, hit a button and it’ll stitch together the sequence as a photo which you can then share to Facebook and Twiter – the quality of which we’ll let you know just as soon as Nokia poney up and give us one to play with. They claim the results are “exactly like you see in snowboarding magazines,” but we’re dubious – not least because we print at 300dpi and our Photo Ed may seriously consider ending it all if true.

The forecast function allows you to check snow levels, weather conditions and which runs are open at over 2600 resorts across the globe, and once you’re strapped in you can access the pre-loaded playlists to amp your ass while on the stunt.

Finnish Burton slasher Roope Tonteri is on board, so here’s a photo of him getting business done…

And here’s one of him getting business done and managing to look more serious than we’ve ever seen him before, ever. Either that or he’s just trying to piece together what happened the night before.

While a slow, stylish frontside 540 isn’t as technically hard as spinning your face off, it is much harder to make look good.
