Be honest. You’re not doing any work now anyway so check out the extended highlights of the action from the Dew Hut Jam 2011 in Oz.

If you’ve got a spare 8 minutes 11 seconds then immerse yourself in Australia’s shred scene. Sure, it’s not quad corking or first track cab 10ing, but it’s a neat window on a fun-looking event down under. And that Jye Kearney sure looked stoked to have won the shebang…

Dude, I love rails THIS much.

How did Douglas Adams put it? “Life… is like a grapefruit. It’s orange and squishy, and has a few pips in it, and some folks have half a one for breakfast.” Whatever that means, it reminds us of our regular This Week in Snowboarding. Once more we have combed the internet in search of the finest flakes of snowboarding dandruff. And we found ‘em!

SATURDAY

You are a Park City local? Well, the guys in the weird Paradise teaser are. Do you speak Polish? Great, neither do we. Luckily, this jib edit from Czarna Góra requires no Slavic skills. TWS digs out MFM, LeBlanc, Wittlake and Forgash in the classic Burning Bridges. Kalle Ohlson now rides for Artec. Shaun White wins silver at the X Games vert contest, and here’s why. And: Oh Frankie, what did you do this time?

SUNDAY

The excellent Ducksjen teaser has been released. Again the Same is a decent shred flick from Estonia. The Almost Cool teaser is, well, almost cool. Camp of Champions recycle last year’s footage. The Angry Snowboarder recycles a shred classic – Smell the Glove. Cyrus Morgenstern is an eight-year-old rider. Why do we not want to meet his mother? Terje is a jibber now!

MONDAY

We post yet another Right Brain Left Brain teaser. Fisheye Friday gives you insights into the Aussie shred scene. Why it gets published on a Monday we don’t know. Here’s a Camp of Champions Best Of Edit. And here are Baw Baw’din episodes 2 & 3, straight from the Southern Hemisphere.

His cable tie fetish became an increasing problem for everyone.

TUESDAY

We post the highlights of the Australian Dew Hut Jam. It’s All About Snowboarding hails from Italy. Yobeat posts a nice Mt Hood party edit. If you don’t own it yet, get yourself a Banshee Bungee! The Rome Local Gnar video contest judging is on, and if nothing else the rider intros are worth watching. Regular Camber? Reverse Camber? Eero Ettala doesn’t give a fark.

WEDNESDAY

Torstein Horgmo talks triple corks. Jess Kimura talks Peep Show.  The US warms to the dryslope idea. Snowboarder Magazine posts a good Spin to Win edit. The Dew Tour goes Superpipe. Erik Leon shreds some summer slush. Ellery Hollingsworth shreds Northstar-at-Tahoe. Luke Mitrani joins Volcom. LeBlanc and Bell have the blues. Dryslope riding is so gully.

"What's the difference between peanut butter and jam?"

THURSDAY

The HCSC Session 5, the legendary Videograss Session, is out. The NZ Open will introduce a live scoring system. Trouble Andrew writes a terrible song. Down Under is stepping it up with the Red Bull Performance Camp. Twice.

FRIDAY

That’s all for this week. Have a good weekend everyone, and don’t forget: Morphine is one helluva drug.

Team Oakley take the win Down Under.

They’re a funny lot, them Aussies. While us Euros are content to throw it down on your regular slopestyle course, the Viccies prefer to mix it up and jump small buildings in a single bound. Like Superman, but without the red Y-Fronts. Or something. At this innovative event at Mt Buller, it was Team Oakley who took out the Dew Hut Jam in style, pocketing $12,000 in prize money in the process and showing what they’re made of on a specially built course with rideable ‘house’ at its centre.

The Dew Hut Jam is the richest freestyle snowboarding contest in the country and is a 3Star event on the Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour. Check the moving pictures.

The late John Archibald Wheeler, apparently a big shot in theoretical physics, once said: “Time is what prevents everything from happening at once.” And it is also what makes us come up with a new This Week in Snowboarding every week. Smart-people shit and snowboarding, kablam! Once again here are the highlights from this week’s snowboarding, drawn from our own site and other places that are actually good.

The urine samples gave some reasons for concern.

SATURDAY

No Joke seems to be a decent movie from Canada. But hands down, Share the Wealth looks even better. And Jeremy Jones charging down one gnar of a line doesn’t look too bad, either. 60s surf rock in a teaser is always a plus: Be Happy teaser. The Videograss crew have fun between their shots. And a Polish dude attempts to snowboard the Nanga Parbat.

SUNDAY

The angry man brings us the full Afterbang movie. Don’t forget about the epic speed snowboarder Darren Powell. Speaking of which, the Helgasons have a go at it, too.

These days some pros need a cheat sheet for their lifestyle.

MONDAY

Seb Toots has won the Billabong Ante Up contest, as this video documents. And Matts Kulisek did something scary at the same event. Watch this clip and this teaser and join the Les2Alpes summer camps. Watch that teaser and go to Japan. The Ästhetiker rip some summer pow in Hintertux. YES Snowboards bag an award. Annie Boulanger is a rad chick. (By the way, the surf in Iceland looks sick!) The 2018 Winter Olympics host race is down to three.

TUESDAY

Videograss release their epic Bon Voyage teaser, and FODT release the equally classy The Arena teaser. And there’s more teasers: Bald-E-Gal, The Völkl team can’t surf. And Tamworth sees some good riding, too.

WEDNESDAY

The teaser for 9191, the Gigi movie, is out, and it looks oh so good. The German 21Inch teaser pops up on our site. The kids make the flakes fly at HCSC session #1. The What’s Up teaser hails from Quebec. Sandbox hit up the DC Mountain Lab. Meet “the Andreas Wiig of the Andes“. Check out this awesome Burton x Tron collabo, because you’re all probably a hipster.

How can you make alpine riding look better? Throw a splashy photoshop filter on it!

THURSDAY

Watch bHappy‘s mellow last day at Northstar (warning, includes some skiing). The Cardona park down under looks gooood. The Japanese Catch Me teaser is good stuff. If you have a lot of time, watch this long German edit, or this equally long True Color clip. Speaking of Germans, their Playboard magazine turned 15 (congrats!). Kazu is the man! But do you know Charlie Idda? While we have been awarded the ‘Do Nothing Award’ several times Hannah Teter might be in for VH1′s ‘Do Something’ version. The first week of summer camp in Val Senales was a success. The pow in Brighton, too. And there will be a big air event in Las farking Vegas!

FRIDAY

The first of Think Thank’s first Right Brain Left Brain mini teasers is out. The Dew Hut Jam hails with a clip from Australia. Fluofun post a lot of next season’s board information on their site. Unfortunately, it’s all in French. Watch Andy Wright‘s 08/09 slideshow. And it is so hot in Vermont right now, you can have BBQs. Indoors.

That’s all for this week, folks. Enjoy your weekend, and don’t drink too much!
