It’s vacation time all over the place. Nonetheless, we dug until our nails bled and found some more gems from last week’s internet snowboarding life. So without further ado here are the highlights from This Week in Snowboarding, hastily cribbed  from our own site and other places that are actually good.

Danny brought his best friend to Munich. And Dingo, too.

SATURDAY

A Dutch crew gets some decent shred done in Les2Alpes. Ground Zero Boards hails from Michigan with a new teaser. And the Real as it gets teaser comes straight out of Illinois.

SUNDAY

The US celebrate Independence Day. Jibber Jeremy celebrates the US. Hampus Mosesson loses his baggage. The Angry Snowboarder delivers yet another classic movie: Gettin’ Some.

MONDAY

We post a solid Camp of Champions week A recap. And the thought-out Pro Bono teaser. Alex Doumergue shreds Les2Alpes and says ‘Ah, putain. Biiatch,’ which would be quite fitting for the French SKG crew and their teaser, too. The French event Kumi Yama spits out a good video, too. Clast does the CoC in Whistler. Kevin Backström gets scared by Raccoons. If you want to get away from those nasty crowds you need to buy some property at the Yellowstone Club. Or go to New Zealand: a crazy Kiwi shows you around Cadrona.

Heavy storms: Defoliation is a problem.

TUESDAY

Videograss have Jed Anderson and LNP battle it out on a wee backyard rail. The new Coldfocus movie Transitmies takes on gnarly rails as well. The Pirates announce their new movie. The Windells session 2 goes down pretty well. Boardmag.de digs out Gigi’s and Travis’ parts in Neverland. But it’s all nothing compared to the Shaun White haircut hoax. And here‘s how you prevent snowboard injuries.

WEDNESDAY

Some sick action goes down at the HCSC during their second snowboard session. The No Joke teaser gets released, and so does the Homies 3 teaser. YES jumps the webisodes-wagon. The Fisheye Fridays clips look good. Our photo ed goes drinking with Grenade. We have more shots from the Deeper Antarctica trip. Zombies invade Mt Hood. Shaun White invades the cheap shoe shelf. Someone has a snomoboard. Someone else makes an awesome short shred flick. And: Did someone beat Torstein to his triple?

Superman: New outfit.

THURSDAY

The Nike 6.0 D-Pad Session teaser drops with a bang. You just gotta watch video #4 here! Once again, print could be dead. And will the DC MTN Lab shut down? There will defo be another Winter X Games event in Aspen. And there’s tramp snowboarding, too!

FRIDAY

Standard Films release their teaser for The Storming, and it looks solid as ever! This is what Benelux summer shredding looks. This is what madness at the DC Mtn Lab looks like. Seb Toots is back. Eddie Wall is a singer. Backflip in surfing, anyone?

That’s it for now, folks. Kick back for a while, enjoy the sun and keep the stoke for some summer shred or the upcoming season! See you next week.

The eighth installment of the behind-the-scenes documentary of the making of Absinthe’s Neverland is good to go.

Flipside continues by following JP Solberg as they prepare to hit a monster backcountry kicker in the Portes du Soleil, but shooting’s not always straightforward… After the setback it’s over to Travis Rice and co. who set about hitting up the epic terrain of Jackson Hole.

Check this out for an epic insight into what goes into pulling together a shred flick.

The seventh installment taking us behind the scenes of Absinthe’s Neverland sees the crew score big in the Portes du Soleil.

This time round the boys score big in and session some frickin’ launch pads in The Zone, Gigi stomps a front 10 double, Solberg the back 10 double, and then a safety trick leads to the ol’ blue bag.

The Zone.

Stoked – The New Snowboard Videogame

Stoked finally brings realistic gaming to our XBoxes!

Stoked is the name of the newest invention in snowboard game. Using a wholly new approach the developers at Bongfish present to us a game which we have been craving for. Stoked is the first Open World World snowboard game and at the same time a game which puts the realistic mode onto your Xbox. The open world mode gives you the opportunity to explore 5 snowboarding worlds on your own and hit the mountains wherever you want. For support you will be able to use a helicopter which can drop you off at exactly the peak or mountain face you would like to hit next. But there is still way to go! The weather in Stoked is dynamic which puts your favourite mountains into different conditions. And finally once it starts snowing the snow stays, just as in the real world and you will be able to catch some thick pillow runs and great powder turns! No wishes stay unanswered in Stoked – daylight changes, snowstorms it is a 100% realistic game!

But the developers continued the realistic touch also in the rest of the game – it begins with real riders through real snowboard gear and ends at real board models. The Pros available in the game belong to the big names we know from contests and videos – riders like Travis Rice, Nicolas Mueller, Wolle Nyvelt, Annie Boulanger, Romain de Marchi, Tadashi Fuse, Gigi Ruef, and Bjorn Leines will definitely increase your fun gaming. But just as in real life nobody is born pro and that is why you have to teach your rider the sickest moves to turn him pro and get sponsored. The sponsor line up comprises more than 30 brands and names like: Burton, Dragon, Arcus, Von Zipper, Eleven, 686, Billabong, DaKine, Electric, LibTech, Nitro, Northwave, Oakley, Quiksilver, Ride, Hart, Rome, Salomon, TechNine, Vans, Volcom, Anon, Nikita, Raiden, Red, Roxy, Sodalicious and VonZipper cover everything snowboarder hearts are craving for. In addition a Blue Tomato customizer was built in the game which gives you the opportunity to scroll through different styles, just as in our shop, and out your rider into some great stuff. So, why wait any longer? Everyone who has been waiting for a game that gives you the real feeling better get themselves one right away! You can be informed about any new developments of the game on the Bongfish tweet right here. Stoked will be available soon at our shop

Check out the teaser at our Blog

freestyle.ch Travelblog

Lukas, Ursi, Lisi, Alex, Simone and me, hit the road to Zürich last Thursday about 1 pm in the afternoon. Due to some problems with the entertainment system (the radio) our first stop was a local electronic dealer. Hooked up with a new radio we arrived at our Hotel about 11 pm without any bigger occurences. Friday was the day for building up our booth, checking out Zürich, shopping and the opening of the freestyle.ch. The Zimtstern inventory-clearance sale was perfect for the shopping part of the day. But you should know one thing if you visit Zürich these days, never rely on a navigation system cause there are roadworks everywhere. And if I say that I mean really EVERYWHERE. 6pm doors opened at the freestyle.ch.

At our booth you could get Blue Tomato catalogues, gingerbread hearts, stickers and Clast headbands. Additional we had a photo-wall of our Lederhosen Boardshort. Big props to Renato and all the other Clast guys for the support!

We rotated with working so that everyone could have a look at some action going on and checking out all the other booths. Don’t have to mention how high the riding level was at the contest, sure you already checked out some of the videos which are online everywhere on the internet. In the evening Lisi and Simone visited the Zimtstern party, but the rest of us were too exhausted and preferred to catch up some sleep. On Saturday the doors opened from 11am till 11pm.

After doors were closed we headed towards the After Burner Party with premiere of the new Pirates flick “Jolly Roger”. Film was sick, party was fun, just have a look at the pics! Unfortunately we had to work the next day but we made it and spread the last catalogues, ginger bread hearts and Clast headbands to the masses so that we could enjoy the superfinals.

Around 10pm our booth found its way back to the van and we could leave the Landiwiese towards Schladming. The trip was some kind of weird due to some, let’s call it “burger-escape” and technical difficulties at the refuel station. Nevertheless we arrived Schladming at 4am. Totally done but also stoked about the great weekend.

Cheers,

Phil Blue Tomato Intern E-Marketing
