Now here’s something puzzling: Variety Pack posted their full movie All Plugged Up on Vimeo. However, you can also download it for $5 from their website. Strange, huh? Maybe it is not that strange anymore once you’ve watched the flick: It is a solid shred movie with just about the right mix of urban and backcountry riding, some top riders (50 of them, to be exact), good music and a few bangers, too. You will be tempted to spend the five bucks anyhow, if only to show your support for one of the better crews out there…

NOW AVAILABLE for download with THE LEAK @ varietyinyourlife.com

All Plugged Up is Variety Pack’s second installment of the 2009/2010 season, featuring 50 of your favorite riders. Standout names include Heikki Sorsa, Parker Duke, Knut Eliassen, Ted Borland, Scotty Arnold, Matt Belzile, Chris Grenier, Alex Andrews, Halldor Helgason, & many more.

The smell magnet proved stronger than she had imagined.

Alright, let’s get this going. Another week, another TWIS. Winter is upon us, shit’s getting sicker by the minute. Here we go!

Tahoe Dangerzone posts the Get in the Van 2 teaser and Luke Mitrani and Nick Visconti skating a bowl. Dylan Thompson’s part from The Arena is quite good. The Nuulife teaser for No Joke is cool, too. Yobeat debates the difference between skiing and snowboarding. Is Luke Lightwood a real name? His is a good edit anyhow. The TTR debates style in snowboarding. Our senior photog Matt Georges gets involved in some products. Do you have a cookie sponsor? No? Time to get one!
