This looks amazing. Airblaster don’t need big budgets, helicopters and a team of physios. They have done what they do best: Have fun snowboarding and creating some grainy footage on the fly. Check the teaser for their upcoming movie Gone Wild. A “real snowboard video” featuring Nick Dirks, Brandon Cocard, Jonas Michilot, Taylor Carlton, Yusaku Horrii, Leanne Pelosi, Temple Cummins, Ben Lynch and Tim Eddy.

Do you remember snowboard photographer Liam Gallagher’s film project The Mad Ones? Him and a select crew of thinking snowboarders created a web series inspired by the writings of the Beat generation. With their new project ‘Search for a Cool Place‘ they pick up where they left of: Art school meets pow slashing meets beat poetry. Not sure if as many family members will ask me about this as they did about Art of Flight, but it has a great vibe to it, and offers some unique perspectives on snowboarders’ lives on the road.

After Jack Kerouac and The Beats came Ken Kesey and his Merry Band of Pranksters. Kesey was a best-selling author turned acid-freak, who was largely responsible for the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s. But, before Kesey and crew started frying the masses, they took a trip across the country in a 1938 International school bus. They dubbed the rig Further and their mission was simple: they were searching for a cool place. Just like us…

Search for a Cool Place is an exploration of snowboarding, mind-expansion, adrenaline freaks, the trips they take and where they’ve ended up. Look for the full-length snowboard flick next Fall.

Featuring: Mark Landvik, Patrick McCarthy, Wyatt Stasinos, Cory Stasinos, Nick Russell, Forrest Burki, Ryland Bell, Shaun McKay, Lucas Debari, Kael Martin, Alex Yoder, Blake Paul, Nick Dirks, Jake Olson Elm, Harry Kearny, Luke Thorington, Brendan Keenan, Jason Robinson, Ralph Backstrom and many more…

Supported by: Jones Snowboards, Drink Water, Anon, The Mount Baker Snowboard Shop.

The first new Videograss teaser is out! Their new project is called ‘The Last Ones’, and it features these fine sliders: Bryan Fox, Chris Bradshaw, Danimals, Danny Larsen, Darrell Mathes, Gus Engle, Jake Kuzyk, Jake Olson Elm, Joe Sexton, Jonas Michilot, Jordan Mendenhall, Justin Fronius, Keegan Valaika, Nick Dirks, Scott Stevens, Zac Marben

And what it is about?

This is a special year for Videograss! We have combined last year’s riders and put our focus into what we believe to be one of the best crews ever assembled. This crew and our sponsors stand as the last of few that still know what is best for snowboarding. The Last Ones represents anyone who puts their hearts and souls into an annual project and strives to keep this key part of our culture alive. DONT GIVE IN! MAKE IT SPECIAL! LET US NOT BE THE LAST ONES!

Who would have thought that Airblaster was going to post Home Runs with each and every of their trendy team riders. For starters, we didn’t. That’s why we kind of ignored the first few edits, even though they struck us as being excellent examples of excellent, mellow snowboarding. Hence we changed our minds and give you all that have been posted so far: Ben Lynch, Jed Anderson, Leanne Pelosi, Nick Dirks, Tim Eddy, and Travis Parker.

Videograss’ 2012 movie will be called “The Darkside”, which is quite appropriate after they shot the moon last year. The first teaser includes some finger-licking good riding. No doubt, this will be a production you should not miss!

Featured riders: Ben Bilocq, Chris Grenier, Danimals, Darrell Mathes, Gus Engle, Harrison Gordon, Jake O.E., Joe Sexton, Johnny Miller, Jon Kooley, Jonas Michilot, Jordan Mendenhall, Laurent-Nicolas Paquin, Nick Dirks

Constant updates on the filming season on vgsnow.com

When you have, go to the K2 website where you can enter your answer and your deets and be in with a shot of bagging the board.

After last night’s laid-back Videograss premiere in Munich this short edit of VG filmer and overall nice dude Joe Carlino talking about his top 5 favourite shots of all time comes in quite handy. Expect to see jaw-dropping cliff drops, rail action and wet shaving.

Who would have thought? Our TWIS is picking up momentum. We would hope it is for our unique selection of clips, interviews and fun facts from the world of snowboarding. But maybe it is just the fact that we started embedding the highlight videos of the week in this post. Whatever humps your camel – here’s yet another edition!
