We just got back from Vegas and the SIA show. Overall it looks like the bright colors are getting brighter and more outrageous and kids will still be walking like penguins with 30 different patterns on at the same time. We saw the much talked about Nike Boots and were rather impressed, all I can say is ERR FORCE 1, more on that another day. After I catch up on some sleep I will sort through the randomness and post up some of what we saw.
No word on the Nike boots yet, but Vans is looking to do it big next year. It looks like every company will be putting out some wildly bright boot next season. Speaking Vans check out my girl Nikki’s site, she works for Vans. We are off to Vegas tonight so look for some updates this week. Hopefully Burton Goons won’t chase us down for taking pictures this year.
Shaun White and the Big B have just signed a 10 year endorsement deal. That means we should be seeing more “White Collection” stuff including bags and luggage and that Shaun can probably give up riding all together and still make more money than a small country. Insane.
JB Classics got together with Ride Snowboards to not only come up with a board but also some matching boots and bindings. Hopefully we will ge to see the whole set up, up close and personal at SIA next week.
LRG has teamed up with The Program in the past on a men’s board and outer wear. But this year they are doing something for the ladies also. I must say this is the first time that I can honestly say I’m really diggin on the outerwear.
Devun Walsh HKD. This is the lightest and most responsive board from DC, made for the all mountain rider.
Iikka Backstrom MLF. MLF stands for MTN.LAB Freestyle. This is a high end true twin tip ideal for park and backcountry riding.
Lauri Heiskari XFB. XFB stands for Xtreme Fun Board, no joke. The XFB is perfect for the park rider who wants to take some laps outside of the park every once in a while.

So most of you have probably already seen some of the new boards from Burton. It looks like Burton is making almost everything ICS (Infinite Channel System). But here is the Jeremy Jones pro model boot, simply called the Jeremy Jones. With a retail price of $199 you will be seeing these things all over the park next season.
It’s a new year and we are back. We took a little time off from the this crazy thing called the internet and we suggest that everyone takes atleast a few days off. If you are in Cali and have not hit the mountains, you need to have your head checked cuz lately it has been real nice. SIA is coming up next week and we will be leaking some new products all week, so be sure to check back.
