Here’s one for our North American brothers and sisters. It’s officially…official. The Shred Remains Official North American Movie Tour will be kicking off this September 14th on the East Coast, and working its way across the continent.

On what may be its 10th cross-country voyage, the most traveled van in snowboarding will be rolling from town to town while possibly adding to its impressive ticket collection. Spilling out of the van at each stop, team riders and the crew behind the scenes of the movie will be showing The Shred Remains, hanging out, drinking some beers, and causing a bit of a ruckus.

Will the van break down? Maybe. Will a rider be left at a tour stop and stranded, only to start a new life under a new identity? Probably. Will we be “asked” not to return to a state here and there? For sure. But all in all, it’s going to be a damn good time, so make sure you make it to a stop.

Check the schedule for a location near you and follow all the action on the Rome Blog at www.romesnowboards.com and email TSR@romesnowboards.com for any questions on the tour.

Snowboard moviemakers Absinthe Films are hitting the road with their new feature film twel2ve. The now legendary 21-city European premiere tour is back again. This rolling, pre-season shred party kicks off September 6 in Absinthe’s home base of Zurich, Switzerland and hits a new city every night for nearly a month! From a tour van bursting with the films’ featured pros and the whole Absinthe entourage, this premiere tour brings the very best in shred action to big screens and hungry riders across the continent.

Featuring a dirty dozen of snowboarding’s most progressive pros riding in epic backcountry, powder and urban environments, twel2ve takes Absinthe’s code of “full- spectrum snowboarding” one step further. In addition to twel2ve, the tour will also screen the new short film YES. it’s a movie from the YES. snowboards crew. And that’s not all: Premiere-goers can enter to win an exclusive 2-week snowboard/ski camp session in Canada worth € 4000!
