Is this the first big teaser of the new season? We don’t know but we’re pretty stoked on the shred after watching this new Think Thank teaser. Featured snowboarders in the upcoming Mind the Video Man movie: Jesse Burtner, Scott Stevens, Ted Borland, Chris Beresford, Sean Black, Sam Hulbert and welcoming to the Think Thank family; Curtis Woodman, Ryan Paul, Nial Romanek, Brandon Hammid, Kyle Lopiccolo, Brandon Reis, Jaeger Bailey and more. Don’t forget what Halldor Helgason said about them: “They changed a lot of stuff, too, but people never think about that. They’ve made a lot of changes in snowboard movies.”

Here’s the official description:

“Mind The Video Man” explores progressive freestyle snowboarding with those in the vanguard and those about to make their mark, while asking the question, “What’s happening with the snowboard video, where is it going next and how will that impact our culture.” Follow the video man and his crew as they push the limits of possibility and progression through creativity in an attempt to create something of meaning that will stand the new media onslaught and the test of time. Mind the video, man.

I was tempted to write about the unlikeliness of our readership to ever ride at Mountain High in Southern California, but then I looked at our website logo and remembered we are the authority on “global snowboarding”, which makes this teaser kind of relevant.

Coming in Fall 2012, Mountain High’s first full length snowboarding film featuring MFM, Kyle Lopiccolo, Nick Visconti, Harrison Gordon, Spencer Link, Cory Cronk, Trever Haas, and Ryan Paul.

The Mad Ones continue their unique take on contemporary snowboard filming. This episode is a collection of Super 8 footage taken at Montafon/Austria, and features Forest Bailey, Patrick McCarthy, Ryan Paul, Marco Feichtner, Sebi Geiger, Atsushi Hasegawa and Ben Thomas-Javid.

More episodes from The Mad Ones.

If you found it a little hard to relate to the earlier The Mad Ones episodes – this one might make it a little easier: Join Patrick McCarthy, Forest Bailey, Ryan Paul, Atsushi Hasegawa, Marco Fleichtner, Sebi Geiger and Ben Thomas-Javid all spend quality time in Austrian powder.

The Mad Ones is a a web-based video project by Liam Gallagher. Inspired by the Beat Generation and specifically the writings of Jack Kerouac, The Mad Ones will follow the freaks, all winter long. Web flicks will be released every Monday through May. Some will be action edits, others about odd balls or oddities seen, weird experiences or whatever else happens to happen. Then, next September it’ll all be mashed into a free-for-download movie.

Supported by: K2 Snowboarding, Drink Water and 686.

The 2012 Winter X Games saw their first snowboarding gold medallist when the Snowboard Street competition went down last night. Forest Bailey took the victory ahead of Ryan Paul and Nick Visconti. Instead of describing what wizardry they pulled off we recommend you just watch this clip. It’s all in there…

Bald E-Gal will drop a movie called ‘Convoy.’ They got solid corporate backing plus a decent list of riders: Krister Ralles, Shane Ruprecht, Brandon Larson, Ryan Paul, Randy Vannurden, Dan Brisse, Viktor Simco, Dan Liedahl, Cody Beiersdorf and friends…

Check. It. Out!

This HCSC features Sage Kotsenburg, Ryan Paul, Jaeger Bailey, and so many more…
