Snowboard info...

So earlier this week when i went in to pick up my handlebars and stem, i was just bumming it around the shop as usual and cruised over to check for my snowboard, which i had planned on buying tomorrow. Guess what? SOMEONE BOUGHT IT :((( Thats the second board down at the shop that i have picked out and someone bought it like 2 days before i was going to, dammit. Good news is i scoured the world wide web for about 3 hours calling places from the West Coast all the way over to Europe in order to find that Rome artifact 1985 156cm board (the one with snakes ;]) And after a 3 hour hunt i literally found ONE board in stock somewhere down in socal, so i ordered it!!! SCOREE!!!! Online said an estimated 3 business days to ship here so im hoping if im super lucky that my snowboard will arrive tomorrow :)))) And as soon as it does you can definitely expect some pictures up here :D

Best drink ever? Sorry, no

Unfortunately this was not the best FUZE i have ever drank. The flavor was really sharp and a little too bitter for me, plus it wasnt as nice and "smoothy-esque" as the peach mango flavor was. Damn i hope my school brings back those peach mango ones D:

Got the goods

Hey all, picked up my stem and bars today from the bikeshop. For some reason my blog wont let me upload my video's :S so im probably going to upload the binding time lapse and the bar and stem swap to my facebook more than likely. Here's some eye candy anyway ;)

NITRANE BINDINGS!!!!

Hey all, im totally stoked right now. I've been setting up my new bindings and just making sure there ready for the season to come. I included some front and back view pictures and im in the process of uploading a short time lapse video ;)

New board!!!!

Hey whats going on?? Just wanted to pop this picture of my, soon-to-be, new snowboard up here for yall to see. It's called the Artifact 156, made by the company ROME. This board is suppperrrr sick, tons of sweet tech bits in it. The board's construction is whats called rockered, which mean when it lays flat on the ground the middle of the board will be the only thing touching, the nose and tail with have the slightest amount of rise. Also instead of steel edges this board has bronze edges which means 2 thing; 1)the edges will never rust & 2) I wont have to ever sharpen my edges during the season (SCOREEEE) plus the bronze looks super sick.

I should be buying my buddies bindings off of him on monday or some time around then so I'll be sure to post those up here when i get them, also my new purple handlebars come in on monday so more on that ;) Should have a short video show-n-tell of my snowboard and bindings up here by next saturday hopefully :)

P.S. the left picture is the top graphic of the board and the snake on top actually has a golden tooth. PIMPIN

Friday video of the week!

Best drink ever? I think so...

I bought this from one of my school's vending machines this morning, totally refreshing, totally healthy and TOTALLY delicious ♥ I would highly recommend this drink to anyone who is in the states and/or is able to find FUZE where ever you are in the world :) Going biking at Dawson's backyard dirtjumps after school tomorrow... soooo stoked! Knock on wood i dont put up a picture of any cast on Thursday ;)

Best way to hit a jump? Take some advil and charge it!!! >:D

Josef Albers

Josef Albers is a German born artist from 1888 up until 1976. He taught art and design at an important art institute in Germany called Bauhaus. In the 1930's he immigrated to the U.S. where he carried out research on color relations and would often write on the back of his painting's what he'd done, how he'd done it and what types of mathematical formula's he used to do it. He was obsessed with quadrilaterals, squares in particular. I am researching him for a page in my Visual Arts book. Check out some of his work here.

NEW components!!!

Hey I just got my pay check yesterday and decided im buying new bars and a new stem for my bike.. I figured I'd post the color choices of the bars because i can't decide :P Leave a comment on which ones you like from the colors (top to bottom they are; anodized blue, dark green, pimp gold, red, orange, purple and anodized black) in the above picture ;) ...

and then im definitely getting the Race Face respond stem in black (top picture)

when i receive them i will post a "review"/unpacking and assembling picture thing.... and if im feeling frisky i might even post it in a video format :O or maybe a time lapse of me swapping bars and stem!!! :O :O :O

MEGA SHOE!!!!

Ok so I've been wanting to flaunt this to the world for a while... I work at a Vans store in Northgate Mall. One day when i was drinking some root beer in the stock room i looked over to notice a mega sized 106vulc shoe in a box... I HAD to try that sucker on ;)

Turns out that it is one of our new store props and is to promote the Custom Shoe builder we have on our website. The shoe in the picture is a 106 vulcanized and it's out because it was just recently added to the customizable fleet of shoes (which includes; era's, old skools, classic slip-ons and now the 106)

If you live in the area come in to the store, buy anything, and on the receipt you can enter a raffle to win the MEGA SHOE!!!!!


p.s. if you want to check out the custom shoe builder go here

Vans Downtown Throwdown...

I just got word of the downtown throwdown for 2010!!!

Basically its a super sick rail jam session that takes place in downtown Seattle. It's a competition between pro and am snowboarders so the tension between the underdog's and the legends should be sick. It's supposed to be going down on Oct. 10th so more on this later... ;)

Fresh nameee???

Just got my new sketch book that I'll use for my IB visual art's class. Decided to put my name on the front in some old school tattoo ink style ;) You like?

Great stuff

hahahaha i love this video!

Blogging, take two.
