686 Lights Out, a charity boxing event with the industry’s finest, debuts with boxing, bro’s and brews during ISPO on Monday February 4, 9pm at Backstage in Munich.

Once you’re done checking out all the 2014 shred gear, come watch professional snowboarders and industry insiders step in the ring for three rounds of hard hitting action to separate the men or women from the boys, all to support Fuck Cancer.

Host Drew Stevenson, aka Michael Buffer of the night, will be be on hand making sure contenders come out fighting and keep things somewhat clean between Ethan Morgan vs Mario Kaepelli and others, while a panel of pro riders will sit as guest judges and determine the victors.

The night will kick off at 9PM sharp and is ticketed entry only. Tickets can be obtained from 686, Electric, Onboard and Skullcandy at ISPO, and will go fast. Backstage is a club situated West of Munich: Reitknechtstrasse 6.

“We are excited to see the fights lining up. People are stepping up and putting their pride on the line for a good cause,” said Stephane Grenet, 686 European Brand Manager. “There are only a couple of spots left, and they are going fast.” Registration information can be obtained by emailing Stephane directly.

686 Lights Out is presented by Electric and Onboard and will feature sounds provided by Skullcandy. Additional support is provided by Monster and Warsteiner and the entire night benefits Fuck Cancer. Thanks of course to ISPO for their technical support.

Ok, so this photo from ISPO is a couple years old now but we’re guessing sex still sells. Right?

The time is almost upon us when most every snowboard brand on the planet will unleash their new range of snowboard gear for the 2013-2014 season in the mighty halls of Munich’s snowboard tradeshow, ISPO. From boards to boots to bindings to outerwear, goggles, helmets and every other piece of shred kit imaginable… all will be on show and we’re hyped to see what they have in store. Question is: what are you wanting to see?

Actually, we’ve seen some of the product already, and even ridden some of it at the Shops 1st Try boardtest we hit up last weekend in the fine Austrian resort of Venet. Most of the big hardware brands were on hand to let us shralp their new wares, hence we can tell you things like Ride Snowboards‘ all new Seb Toutant-endorsed Buck Up is a rad, poppy, lively thing; Bataleon‘s Evil Twin is a killer all-mountain freestyle deck for decent riders; CAPiTA‘s range is full of their predictably strong graphics; Burton have an epic colab with Jimi Hendrix’s estate on the Easy Livin’… and more nuggets of wisdom like that.

Ideally we’d post pictures already of the gear we’ve had our mitts on already, but then the brands would get the right arsehole and not let us ride their gear in the future, and the Shops 1st Try guys wouldn’t put us up in a bizarre alpine Chinese takeaway and let us ride Venet’s awesome inclines while pretending to call it work. Not gonna happen. Come Sunday, though, when ISPO opens its doors, we’ll be rifling through the halls to get the lowdown on the gear and take product porno snaps so you can see what’s up.

We’ve also heard rumours of other things to expect for 2014, like APO entering the outerwear market, Nike using BOA on some of their boots, DC and Union both dropping Travis Rice pro models, not to mention the imminent arrival of Adidas into the snowboard boot and outerwear game.

What are you most keen to see? Let us know in the comments and we’ll do our best to get the scoop.

The World Freeride Festival & Flow Tailgate Alaska is pleased to announce a new partnership with ISPO MUNICH to create a Freeride exposition at the 2013 ISPO MUNICH trade show 3-6 February 2013 — titled: Tailgate ISPO ¬— World Freeride Expo.

It takes successful educational elements from Flow Tailgate Alaska, adds new freeride innovations, and will be a rallying point at the ISPO MUNICH trade show for freeride snowboarding enthusiasts. “We are excited to bring some of the energy of Alaska to the world’s most exciting sporting goods trade show for the next 3 years.” says Tailgate ISPO — World Freeride Expo partner Rasmus Ostergaard.

Tailgate ISPO – World Freeride Expo is a platform for those companies and individuals that breathe the Freeride life: brands with their latest products riding and safety, organizers, travel companies, riders and publishers all unite to present their developments and stories. Daily activities include educational clinics, presentations, legends’ stories and more — all organized around a central campfire that links the presented brands and projects together in the A1 Hall (THE most important place to be at ISPO MUNICH). The World Freeride Festival & Tailgate Alaska also plays host to the world-renowned Flow Tailgate Alaska and the Flow World Freeride Championship — held each spring on Thompson Pass, in Valdez, Alaska.
