A while ago, Neff spent some bucks on a brand-new park at Park City. It is called Neffland, and it’s all candyshop themed and aims at people who want to get their jib game on. Why we’re telling you about this? They’ve already released two sick clips featuring the Kotsenburgs, Zak Hale, Dylan Thompson and many more. Now go and watch those clips!

You all probably saw the first, rapid fire edit of the highlights from Burton’s Tokyo jib contest earlier this week, but did it have fancy skateboarding tricks from Forest Bailey, Mark Sollors, Niels Shack and co.? Or hyperiffic megamo of the action in the contest? Didn’t think so. Watch this..

Burton’s Tokyo Rail Days wrapped up on Saturday with Forest Bailey taking home first place, followed closely by a pack of shredders hot on his heels. Here is a good look at some additional action and skating from Wojtek Pawlusiak, Ludwig Lejkner, Neils Schack, Jeremy Jones, Mark Sollors, Ethan Deiss and Zak Hale.

Check out this rad short following young bucks Alex Andrews, Ethan Deiss and Zak Hale’s street-heavy trip to Alaska with Jeremy Jones in deep midwinter.

Three of Burton’s up-and-coming jibbers struck out north in December last year accompanied by jib master general Jeremy Jones. Though daylight was limited, their arsenal of tricks wasn’t – nor the abundance of creative street spots they found to throw down on. This, plus the mellow vibe of the edit, means The Shortest Days of the Year stoked us the hell out and we think it’ll have the same effect on you…

Bear Mountain just released their full-length 2012 park flick ‘Feature Factory‘. And since Bear Mountain’s features are pretty much the best that can get between you and snow it is only logical that their own video description is all capitals:

THE 2011/2012 WINTER SEASON MAY BE BEEN A STRUGGLE FOR MANY RESORTS, BUT NOT FOR BEAR MOUNTAIN. WITH ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL SNOW MAKING SYSTEMS IN THE WORLD AND A PARK STAFF THAT IS SUPERIOR, PIECING TOGETHER THIS PARK PUZZLE IS WHAT BEAR DOES BEST. FEATURE FACTORY IS A TESTIMONY TO THE BEST PARK PARK THAT BEAR HAS EVER BUILT. WATCH THIS MOVIE WHEN YOU’RE PUTTING ON YOUR BOOTS OR LOOKING FOR A PARK FIX. SIT BACK AND GET READY TO BELIEVE THE HYPE.

Featured riders: Brandon Hobush, Ian Sams, Jake Kuzyk, Zak Hale, Spencer Schubert, Justin Fronius, Erik Leon, Pat Lynch, Chris Bradshaw, and many, many more.

A good front boardslide is a thing a beauty. No matter how many times they’re done, or watched, they never get boring. And Ethan Deiss, Zak Hale, Mark Sollors, Ludwig Lejkner, and Wojtek Pawlusiak had some pretty solid front boards this season.

The Burton crew went to New Zealand and discovered Chillwave.

Beer bongs, knives, beatings and great snowboarding in this teaser for the Skeleton Crew’s upcoming v-bomb, Media Offline.

Though the dudes’ aim of making ‘homie movies’ without the pressure of a bigger production remains, there’s no doubt that the riding and the riders in this latest movie to drop from the Skeleton Crew is gonna be the nuts. That’s some crew of homies they got.

As a bonus, here’s their first film, Group Effect, from 2009. A throwback to the days when snowboarding was free of Phantom cams, helicopters and metro-pop.
