The “lay on the ground and film from above” style of video production is becoming more popular lately, and for good reason.
Maybe you’ve seen this concept used before and maybe you haven’t, but you definitely haven’t seen it used this exhaustively and to such a dynamic extent and with a shirtless Geeves. Filming took up the entire month and everyone involved pulled their shit together like when you’re driving home after a few drinks and (suddenly!) you end up face to face with an Officer of the Law at a roadblock or, perhaps, the scene of your accident.
Check out this intro for the snowboard movie “Time Well Wasted” that was created by Sandbox, and see why it was recently awarded “Best Video Opener” by Future Snowboard Magazine.
Burton’s Jeremy Jones Snowboard is a fantastic example of off the wall thinking that works well in the snowboard design environment.
Rewrite the laws of shredology.
Jeremy doesn’t let laws like physics, gravity, or city ordinances get in his way. The ultimate set of tools for the all-around freestyle specialist, Jeremy’s series gives him the power to step to any feature. His NEW 159 is a little wider, a bit stiffer, and more stable for those faster run-outs and bigger cliffs and kickers. The NEW Infinite Channel System™ offers unlimited stance options so Jeremy can easily switch it up in seconds.
If the board’s performace matches the looks, this is going to be one tough board to beat.
Who can “out-run you, out-swim you, shut you down in a game of full-court b-ball, ski faster and jump higher than you ever will”, and look sexy doing it?
CO-ED’s list of the Top 25 Sexiest Female Athletes of 2007, that’s who.
Looks like athleticism translates into sexy quite nicely.
Conquer the slopes in style with Venom’s Switchboard, a new way to play in the powder.
The Switchboard is a cross between a snowboard, a skateboard, a scooter, and skis, and features a double hinge in the middle for steering, foot straps to lock you in place without the need for special boots, and a shock absorbed steering bar to help you turn the slopes into your own personal board park.
I recently saw this clip of Jamie Pierre at a shortened screening of Anomaly at the Banff Mountain Film Festival, and I was literally left with my mouth gaping open in awe:
That was Jamie setting the current world cliff jumping record of 25-stories (255-feet). What would possess a man to do such a thing? Well, considering that the biggest cliff I’ve jump off of on a snowboards was about 6-feet, I’m probably not the right person to answer that question, so I’ll just let Jamie explain it in his own words:
If you want to see more of Jamie and the rest of his partially insane crew, check out Anomaly:
255-feet? I’d call that an attempted failure at suicide.
This is one customization trend that I hope never catches on. Pierce Your Ride offers, you guessed it, “piercings for your car, truck, motorcycle, boat, snowboard, ATV, and more”. I’m all for customizing your ride and all, but giving it a giant piercing? Definitely not my style. Supposedly, theses allow you to “rebel against conformity”, but I think anyone using one is just rebelling against taste. Be your own judge though, I may be wrong on this one (though I’m probably not), and these may be the next best thing since sliced bread (though they probably won’t).
