October, 30, 2009 Seattle, Washington - Halloween kicked off early in Fremont as Ride Snowboards brought down the freak show, ahem, i mean “Tweak Show” to evo for a night of terror! It was such a sick event, everyone dressed up and the films were incredible. Lets see, we had Ride’s team film “Along for the Ride”, Pirate Productions and Videograss’s latest film. Despite the incredible line up of films, people seemed to be preoccupied by the array of crazy costumes, the photobooth, games (Wheel of Death, Skull Toss, Membrain) and the Ride pro team was in the house signing autographs. Mikey Leblanc, Hana Beaman, Jusso Lavisto, Darrell Mathes Austin Hironaka, Megan Ginter, Nash, Marco, Cory Noble and the whole ride crew were present and accounted for.
evo team rider Megan Ginter’s recent X-Games bronze and Candian open silver medals aren’t the only proof that she’s serious about riding and thinking positive. Check out her interview with Shred Betties here.
After a few long and crazy days in Vegas I escaped alive.. Saw Snoop and Redman, missed my flight, and drank entirely too much liquor. I got one day at home, which was not nearly enough. And now I am in Calgary, Canadia for the Canadian Open. Read the rest of this entry »
So… after a long day of airporting yesterday, we ( my parents and I ) got diverted into Denver instead of Grand Junction.. which was fine but we ended up having to wait forever for our bags, that came in on a different flights. Our condo is super nice right on slope side at Snowmass. Unfortunately I got some sort of food poisoning or something and started puking last night on our drive up and kept going all the way through this afternoon no fun.. plus today was super nice so I missed a day of practice… bummer.. o well.
Course looks huge from below.. didn’t get to actually go on the hill and inspect it but tomorrow will be my first day riding those kickers so hopefully everything goes smoothly… Read the rest of this entry »
January 6th- 13th… Spent and interesting week at Mount Snow, Vermont. It was my first time ever riding on the east coast so it was pretty cool to get to see some different terrain. Thankfully it wasn’t too icy.. actually got a little bit of a pow day and it kind of sucked because it made practice almost impossible to clear all of the jumps before prelims. The course for the second Dew stop I liked a lot better than the first, more features and some more options. Read the rest of this entry »
evo’s Megan Ginter has been just shy of the podium at both stops at Dew Tour events this season’s, and after last year’s 6th place in the Xgames she is super excited to finally get a podium. Check out the video above. With invites to the Canadian Open two weeks from now and then Nippon Open, we should hear more great things coming from her. - Chris Shalbot, evo Team Manager
