We were concerned when our brethren and sistren from Yobeat began posting the Powder Daze comics. Now that they turned them into a real-life product testing show from hell we are really worried they have taken to bath salts or whatever else Americans are into these days. Anyhow, this seems to be the teaser, and we’re committed to spreading the word for them. Enjoy!

Yobeat just posted this clip of their Best Summer Ever series on the Windells antics of the two brothers Brendan and Red Gerard. We mostly post it because of the song: Raw Meat by the Black Lips, but  it also includes some good shredding.

1. Sam is just 17, and should serve as some inspiration for all you kids out there. You might want to try a little harder next time you’re not feeling a back 7.
2. The video has a nice flow, and it lasts only a minute. That’s just about the maximum people of today’s facebook culture can take in.
3. Sam is a good example to mention whenever someone complains that this 26-year-old shop kid doesn’t get a major sponsor deal. He’s fucking 26 and shit, that’s why.
4. There’s not much else happening on the internet today, so why not post this?
5. Sam is so good at snowboarding, it makes reasons 1 to 4 completely obsolete.

Our dear friends from across the Atlantic, Yobeat.com that is, have started a new video series called “Yobeat’s Best Summer Ever”. They will post clips from both the Windells and High Cascade snowboard camps. In lack of decent European edits we just take their content for now, add some links to their website, and call it a day.

“The boys (and girls) are back in town at Mt Hood, OR. We tricked Windells and High Cascade Snowboard Camps ontp letting us film all summer long and you reap the rewards in this super exclusive, epic Mt. Hood adventure of a video series. First, a little welcome back featuring the riding of Johnny Lazz, Scott Stevens, Nial Romanek, and many more. Stay tuned every week for new episodes of Best Summer Ever on Yobeat.com!”

Oh wait, here’s another of Videograss’ 5 Tricks at HCSC edits. Enjoy this one, too!

“Day 4 at High Cascade lights up with Dan Brisse, Frank April, Jake Kuzyk, and Jed Anderson. If you haven’t signed up for camp yet, come join us again for session 6!”

Cirque du Soleil: summer camp.

SATURDAY

Well, the Burton European Open went down in Laax/Switzerland, and Jamie Anderson, Roope Tonteri, Kelly Clark and Peetu Piiroinen won. TWSnow spends three minutes with Marie-France Roy. Yobeat keeps rejecting edits. Desiree Melancon had a litte accident. And Motorhead’s Lemmy tells the best story he’s ever heard (clearly, Saturday wasn’t that exciting).

SUNDAY

Here’s some mid-Atlantic magic. Ducksjen goes Tryvann. That’s all for Sunday.

MONDAY

Klaustrofobiatch is the new Duckjen movie, and it is fairly solid. Everyone goes nuts about Roope Tonteri’s Cab 1440 at the BEO. And have all the other BEO highlights, too. We post the list of confirmed riders for the Air&Style Innsbruck. Torstein Horgmo does auditions. Xavier De Le Rue goes splitboarding in Canada. The girls part from The Storming gets remixed. Girls? Here’s another Roxy Refreshments episode, and it features the girls + Heikki Sorsa. The Tahoe Dangerzone Pop episode is pretty sick. Whitelines has a 30something shred flick. No doubt, Chalet Girl will change the way we look at snowboarding. And Analog announce the European winner of their feature design comp.

The jib paradox: The more difficult your trick the longer the box feels.

TUESDAY

Joe Sexton’s epic part gets remixed, and so does the equally brilliant Cale Zima Absinthe video part. The Bataleon family edit is dope. Horgmo and Biittner cruise Keystone. Toots and McMorris talk. John Jackson wins an award. Chas Guldemond tells you how to stomp a back 10 dub. We are lazy and throw the WEARE2012 crew and the L1/Nitro team into one big jib post. The Roxy Girls become the Chalet Girl. Yobeat’s Terrible Tuesday is a really good kink klip.

WEDNESDAY

Terje Haakonsen writes an open letter to the IOC. Partysnake 3: Videogrease is this week’s most popular piece of content. A must-see! Aaron Biittner faces Andreas Wiig in this game of In Your Face.

This Snowboard Realms pow clip just keeps getting better. You want Enni Rukajärvi to take you home? Here you go! Here’s the I Ride Park City early January edit. Fun days at The Canyons. We give away tickets for the Air&Style Innsbruck, and the riders list for the A&S Munich gets released. Austin Smith is a gooner. The Nike 6.0 Stairset Battle shakes up Talma.

Finnish snowboard mag Slammer reintroduced us to a true shred classic, and you should know it, too!

Have a good weekend everyone!

We like YoBeat. So we’ll post their corpo-PR, with links and all! It’s a long un, but can be summed up like this – go to YoBeat from Jan 11, vote for your favourite shots, and you help the shooters win shit. Here’s the long-winded version…

Photographers and photography enthusiasts alike, mark your calendars for January 11, 2011, which will kick off the second annual Yobeat
Firing Squad Champions Battle. Each week in the YoBeat Firing Squad, two photos battle for supremacy, and a champion emerges based on your votes. Only a select few survive the Firing Squad long enough to be retired as four-week champions, and for them, we have this annual battle with grand prizes from Buysnow.com, Buyskateshoes.com, GoPro and High Cascade Snowboard Camp.

This year, the eight inducted photos will once again be subjected to Yobeat reader votes and in one-months time, one talented photographer will walk away with the grand prize, a Session at High Cascade Photo Workshop and a GoPro HD Hero Camera! But that’s not all! This year, we’ve decided to make things a little more interesting and also award prizes for the top snow and skate photos individually from Buysnow.com and Buyskateshoes.com, respectively.

The Firing Squad Champions battle will go something like this: In week one, the three skateboard photos that went the distance battle to crown a skate champion. That photographer will receive a $150 gift certificate from Buyskateshoes.com and be eligible for the final battle. In week two, it’s the five snowboard photos turn. This time the photographer with the most votes will receive a $150 Gift Certificate good for anything at Buysnow.com. Finally, the top skate photo and snowboard photo will do ultimate battle for the Grand Prize: a session at the High Cascade Photo Workshop and an HD Hero Camera from GoPro. As an added bonus, Yobeat will also take the winning photographer for a steak dinner at the Acropolis while they are in Oregon for camp, August 5-10.*

Check out all the eligible photos in the Yobeat Champions Gallery and be sure to check Yobeat.com on 1.11.11 when the voting begins!

There was so much awesome on the internets this week we shat a house. It’s a peculiar phrase, we know, but one that we’ve adopted ’cause our young intern used it and we’re scared of being melted down to make glue if we’re not down with the yoof. Init, blud. Getme. LOL.

That’s all for the moment. Now we’ll dive head first into the many premiere parties of the coming days. This short clip from a New Zealand cruise ship is strangely reminiscent of our feelings at the end of a good party.

The solution to this week's rebus is: "Eddie Wall"

Over the last seven days pretty much every snowboard brand and their sleazy uncle revamped their websites. If you are done with this list of our weekly condensed web awesomeness head over to your favourite manufacturer’s site and gawp at their new products. But remember: Sometimes the road less travelled is less travelled for a reason.
