video 2

here is my second video, my first video and interview are in my previous 2 posts

Video 1

This was an urban session that me and some friends did a while ago, (me, erik, and tyler) tyler did some of the recording and i captured the video from his facebook. he did the recording with the fish eye lens, i did all the rest of the recording, and he edited the song in, but the capture failed to record it on 3 seperate occasions so it will go without audio.

Interview With Tiffany.

When did you start snowboarding and what has it turned into for you?
I started 9 years ago when I was 10. Boarding has turned into my passion, I absolutely love snowboarding and that Is why I have taken up a job as a snowboard instructor at trollhaugen in Wisconsin. I love to share my passion with the young kids, and in some cases older people helping them out whenever I can, and teaching them all I can to make them successful on the slopes there first time off the bunny hill.

How long have you been a snowboard instructor at Trollhaugen, have you worked elsewhere?
I have been an instructor for 5 years and I love every minute of it, the reason I was able to start so early was basically because my dad's friend who was an expert instructor there took me in as an apprentice, and I couldn't work late but I was payed and I really enjoyed it. I still work there and now I'm the one who trains the new instructors, it wasn't as in depth because a lot of these new guys have experience as it is. I Didn't work for one season though, I was 17 and i shattered my ankle one day in the terrain park, I'm not quite sure what happened because I had a second degree concussion, it was my first one and i have absolutely no idea what had happened.

What kinds of boards do you own, and what is your style?
I have 8 snowboards, I have 2 Lib-tech boards, the banana Magic, and the lib tech skate banana, The Burton Supermodel, a Rossingnal board, two Rome boards and a Forum board, A Gnu board, as well as 2 K2 boards. They aren't all new some of them are 3-4 years old and I no longer ride them i just like to keep them. My ride style? well that's easy I ride Goofy just like how I skateboard in the summertime ha ha.

Does skateboarding have any affect on how well you do when your shredding?
Yeah, to be honest it has a big affect, mostly on my heels because when I'm doin' somethin' on the streets it strengthens my feet from all the hard landings whether it be landing on the board washing out pr whatever. Than that makes the big air of snowboarding and the impact of landing much easier to handle.

What places have you gone snowboarding or have you stayed within Minnesota, and Wisconsin for all the years that you've been 'boarding?
I have actually gone to a bunch of places, I've been to British Columbia (where the last winter Olympics was held) I've been to Utah's Park City, as well as Colorado's Aspen and did some back country boarding while I was in Colorado which was one of the most fun I have ever had. :) I plan on going back out there, I enjoyed all the places immensely as I had a great time. Now that I'm out of high School I plan on going a lot more.

Qparks tourfinal, Video.

It wouldnt let me upload the video, so there is the link if you want to check it out.
Personally I really liked it and I think you all should check it out if you are interested!

QParks Tour Big Finals at Dachstein Glacier!

Qparks is an awesome opportunity to get get some contest experience and tro shred with your buddies, its sick because you get to shred in some of the best parks in the Alps! Unfortunately it's the finals that are coming up after the 10 previous contests; its being help in the Horsefeathers Superpark Dachstein! The prize is 10,000 Euro's; I have no idea what that translates to American dollars, sorry!

It was a good idea, the basis of it was that any rider who could participate was able to participate there were no underlying stipulations or anything of the sort. It would be help across the 10 best parks in Europe. The finals were on may 7th-8th and i'm not sure who took the contest at this very time, but im sure it was an awesome event. persoanlly I would have loved to of been a part of this event becuase it looks sick as hell!

Day and Age!

Here is another teaser from the movie "Day and Age" and personally I think it is going to be a sick movie because this shows some of what's good and i'm hopin' the movie is even better than this!

Neff, East Vs. West Contest!

Neff has been holding a competition for the past 7 weeks and it is between store shops in the east and the west. Transworld snowboard releases 2 videoes per week and you can vote on whichever video edit you think is better! The winner wins $5,000 cash as well as $2,000 in Neff gear.

That is the link to the video's that I have thought were the sickest so far and right now I think the guys from Martini board shop in Ohio is killin it in week 2!

Sweeeeettt! Joe Sexton, and Simon Chamberlin In "This Video Sucks"

This is a pretty sick video with the ThirtyTwo team.

ThirtyTwo!

ThirtyTwo recently did a tour of their facility that has new solar panels on their roof, anyways the reason for this was to show off their facilty and their new products that are coming out this year and some new technoligies that they have developed.

This is a machine that they are developing to test the flex of the boot because having different people do it didn't really make sense. I mean who wants a feel of a boot that is not consitent with every other boot on the market? So thats where this boot comes into play is it will always be the same feel across the board; well for their products at least...

Most expensive board ever?

This board here is $2,200 retail from the Lib-Tech website. I honestly think that this price is outrageous I don't want to say anything about it from the brand website because it may be biased. If you want to check it out it is the Cygnus X-1 board by Lib-Tech.

Volcom Shootout!

I just thought I would put this video up, it showcases the team Volcom, for transworld snowboarding back in 2010, they were competing against 3 other teams to make the best video in a week. This was my favorite video, the other teams were, Rome, Salomon, and Nitro; Solomon was the winner.

About the Poll

What i am looking to in this poll is to see what board you ride and think is the best. If you do not own a board tell me what board you would get even if you have no knowledge of the board, because i wanna know what everyone would get/has.

Video?.. Oh man.

Well here is the idea, it will be a little bit late for reasons and i am sorry; anyways my video will showcase me talking about my two snowboards and the differences between them, and which one would be better suited for your style of riding, also i'll talk about the features of the boards and what they mean.

The Art of Flight!

This is the recently released official trailor for the upcoming movie The Art of Flight that is to be released in September!

Some Sick Recon Transcend Goggles!

Honestly these have got to be the most insane goggles that i've ever heard of. I mean these have a built in display that tells you all sorts of things, like altitude, it has GPS speed your traveling air tempature and many more. It allows you to track your runs on google maps after you get home or to your hotel through a USB port it uses also as a charger. It also has longitude and laditude; you can change the display with the three buttons on the right side by pressing up to scroll up, or down to scroll down, and pressing the center button to select which display you want to look at. These are defiantely some sick gogglesb that'll allow you to do some recon on the hills, but they with a price tag at $400-$500.

Jake Blauvelt, and Nicolas Muellur

These two have always wanted to ride together, they've been told by their friends and a bunch of people that they ride alomost identically, and in their new movie that's what they see. These to think the same, they see all the hips, lines, and those slashes through the pow that when they point it out to some of the other guys; They say, "really? where do you see that?" and it almost seems like these two have been riding partners for decades rather than just this recent activity. They like to call their piece double vision, and i think that means two sets of eyes seeing the exact same thing and not having to ask question.

Danny Larsen is "Hooked" full part.

K2 rider Danny Larsen brings his metal mentality to a bunch of terrain in the new full length movie by pirate productions known as Hooked, as he showcases his talent in an urban areas where many people wouldnt think to shred, he also has some seens in the backcountry also known as all mountain freestyle. This guy is from Norway and he is a rising sensation and they call him The Dark Night of Norway. This metalhead has been holding down for many years in Oslo, (The City of Satan) for many years now.
