B-Day, Seriously

The other day was Robjn’s birthday. So in celebration of himself, he paid our filmer a little extra gravy on the side, unbeknownst to us, to only film him. While pretending to carry on filming, he would stop recording whenever any of us were riding. Sadly, kids, we were all performing magnificent feats never before maneuvered on a snowboard. But I guess now you’ll never know. When confronted about this, Robjn didn’t even deny it, but instead claimed, “Well, yeah, it’s my birthday.” Because that’s the kind of guy he is.

Touche, Robjn. Touche!

Grouse Mountain, Vancouver

Thanks to Jeff Silcock at Grouse Mountain for hooking us all up with passes this year. I was just on their website and noticed Manboy himself, Jesse Fox is plastered up there as some sort of poster boy. Since there haven’t been any posts on this site in a while, I’m sure Jessman will be thrilled to find out I’ve posted these photos of him. Flattering! Also, this Wednesday night is Dylan Temple’s “I’m Coming Out” 30th birthday party up at Grouse. We’ll all be up riding and having drinks in their Altitude Bistro after the shred, where Dylan will be found announcing his coming out. Congrats, Dylan! You’re only the first of many, I’m sure. Is Matt Morgan next? Place your bets in the comment area.

Dylan, this is for you:

And one more photo of the Jessman getting radical on Grouse. Wow.

Snowiness is Snowboarding… for the Internet

Our dear friends over at Snowiness appear to be back up and at it. It’s fairly bare now, but I’d imagine that’s because it hasn’t even been up for a day yet. There will be a feature there now to submit videos / news of your own — and with one click, so long as it’s not spam, Andrew will be able to give it a check-mark of approval, and voila, it will appear on the site. Should make for a good community area for videos from all corners.

It’s dumping up in Whistler right now, so I would suggest you bolt up there for the weekend where it’s going to dump 15cm,20cm,40cm, over the next three days.

I’d also like to say get well soon to Phil Thomas who blew his ACL and broke his tib/fib combo in the park on Blackcomb today. Below is a photo of Sollors and Phil drinking at some bar, somewhere, sometime.

Okay, bye.

Bang Bang!

If you like snowboarding then you probably like these guys over at Isenseven. I know this, because I barely like snowboarding and I like them a lot. I went over to their site today and saw there were some videos up there I hadn’t seen yet. This one is from back in August, but I figured I’d post a link to it since it’s my new favorite snowboarding clip… ever. It’s mostly my favorite clip because it involves: dudes playing drinking games, more dudes sitting around, dudes chugging, barely any girls, a guy with his pants down, then a girl in her underwear, and barely any snowboarding, then more dudes wrestling with each other. From what I can tell, it looks like these guys drink as much as me — in fact, I swear that the house they’re in at around 3min 30sec is in Whistler, and I was there. So my question to you, Isenseven, is this: Did I hot tub with you and a bunch of dudes in our underwear? This is also the perfect video since tonight is Friday, and I’ll be partaking in similar activities… except at an expensive bar with bottle service, high priced hookers, and not nearly as many dudes trying to touch me.

Here’s the link: Bang Bang!

Isenseven. No homo,

Good Things

And here’s another archived video. Sorry, still no new ones — although very soon I’m sure. Whistler has been open for a bit, and the city mountains in Vancouver just opened up. Either way, here’s another one to hold place for the next little bit… This was from the spring… I don’t know when; Whenever I was riding that 53 signal. 3 years? I can live with that. It’s Me, Rusty, Robjn, and friends snowboarding up in the Whistler park, spring time. Hooray.

One Run Avec!

This is from… I think two years ago. Yeah, sure. It’s one run through the blackcomb park on our way down the hill for the day to aprés at the Longhorn to go look at some spicy silicone servers and, of course, drink draught beer. Snowboarding is really only worth half the trouble if at the end of the day it can’t afford you some drinks and high-priced service. Okay, here we go: One Run Avec Mikee, Brown, Robjn.

Jan 30, 2007; Blackcomb Park

Ho! It’s another old one. This is from last year. January 30th, actually. It features Robjn Taylor getting kinda bummed out, not being impressed, and being impressive. It also has Matt Belzile agreeing. There are a handful of cameos in the video too which include: Jeremy not grabbing his board but instead dangling his arms, Andrew nose pressing, and some other snowboarders.
