Brimacombe Twos Day
Last week was our first Devour Tuesday also known as lets get a bunch of peeps together and go ride someplace different. Just plain ol' road trippin to meet up with old friends and new. Beav, Cooper Gallant, Cam Veenstra, Brad Hesson, Connor Dudgeon (all photo's courtesy of Connor), Matt Bujok and Gillian Clarke all showed up. And Kirby Kostuk, that other guy whose name I can't remember and Chris Fellner trekked in from London.
Brimacombe has a pretty decent park and by decent, I mean you can find some fun in it. Plus if your not into it, Ben's Bumps has couple of side hits and the infamous "Bump". As for the poutine, the juries still out. All and all not a bad way to spend a Tuesday Night. Rest of the photo dump is here This Tuesday were at Chicopee.

Trending? Windsurfing
What themes are you seeing for graphics?
Controlled chaos in general. Norwegian black metal and human shape shifters provide imagery we find compelling. However what we really see trending right now is windsurfing. That’s a very exciting category that we’d like to get more involved with. And then, there’s The Volcom Stone collab… NBD. -Blue Montgomery

Movember Rain
Couple shots and thoughts from Connor Dudgeon:
Saturday marked the 1st annual Movember Rain Rail contest at Horseshoe resort. We were greeted with sunny skies and a big group of riders ready to get their season started with a little rail action. There was music to get you pumped, a bonfire fire to warm you up, basketball net to get you balling and snowboarding in mid November, what more could one ask for? Recent addition to the mhg crew, Cameron Veenstra was representing Captia and Union in the Am portion and made it to the finals. Some serious tricks were going down by the end of the day after everyone got used to the speed and rails. In the end Leanna King 1st place in the Women's Snowboard category. In the Men's Am snowboard Malcolm Eppinger took it and in the Men's Pro category Max Eberhart won the whole deal. Post contest, things got serious. A full on moustache contest was held to figure out which was the most crowd approved upper lip. Overall great day, and a good start to the season, well kind of. Shouldn't be long now before the hills start to open. Thanks to Horseshoe resort and everybody that came out to support."

New Slaysh
I was a Slaysh in Ottawa this past week and the newly renovated store looks great. Beyond happy to have Holden, Ashbury, Coal, Union and Capita in a one of a kind store. Here's a note from Sarah:
Slaysh began just over four years ago as a dream of mine to share my love for fashion and shopping with others who felt the same. After attending Fashion school I realized that I was never going to be like the other girls, wearing their 5 inch heels to class at 8am. I was more inspired by the street wear fashion that stems from the skate, snow and surf lifestyle. And so Slaysh was created
Grand reopening Nov. 19th

Your Complete Schedule for the Toronto Ski and Snowboard Show
Since most of us are going to be in a bit of a turkey coma for the next couple of days I figured an insiders guide to the Toronto Ski, Snowboard and Travel Show is in order.
Thursday - Oct 13
Show opens at 3 pm. If you're looking for last years product this is the best time to show up. And no I'm not talking about those brands where you can find three hundred pairs of size small, horrible colourway they didn't sell anyway bindings or two hundred 165 cm worst plank ever no name boards. I'm talking about the stuff you want. This stuff gets scooped up right quick. So if your looking for that hard to find last years board, bindings, outerwear or goggles this is your time. Or if your looking for new product from those brands who sell out before the snow even flies then this is your time.
* If you're working at a shop during the show then you've already been at the show for a minimum of one day and are feeling pretty good. Bummer you're going to miss Art of Flight since it starts at 8 but your working till 9. But thanks to your friends at Capita, Monster and Dialogue you can still go get awesome once the show's done. And since the show doesn't start till noon on Friday, lots of time to hydrate and get back on your game.
This one is going to be epic. A fully monster'ed bar, most of the Canadians from the CAPiTA team, the Neck of the Woods flick, Defenders of Awesome and more prizing than you know what to do with. Info here
Fri. Oct 14
Show opens at 12 and goes till 10 pm. Good day to hang out, take in all the new product and see all the pros that are in town. Plus signings all day at the Snowboard Canada booth. Best bet is to show up at 3 for a few hours, leave at 7 or so for some food/pre-drinks before you go out.
* Shop guys and girls, this is day 2. You were probably feeling pretty rough when the show opened, but after a day standing, talking about snowboards and of course snowboard related accessories, your feet are a little sore but you've been convinced to go out to the 20th Anniversary Snowboard Canada Party. The Sandbox Flick Day and Age is premiering, Alterna's 13 O'clock, and some little company from Vermont is playing their promo vid.
Friday Night Info is here
Sat. Oct 15
The show opens at 10 and your probably not going to believe how fast the parking lot filled up and that you're parked in Scarborough. Good day to come to the show, as there are a tonne of autograph sessions and more pros around than a Whistler patio in spring. Plus there's probably a TFC game, craft show, bike swap and patchouli convention all happening within 5 minutes of the Snow Show. Time your departure accordingly. Showing up at 7 is probably the best strategy for some serious gear getting as there's less crowds and its easier to find things.
* Shop guys and girls, you showed up feeling like a bag of hammers today. No delicate way to put it. Your feet are killing you from the concrete floors at the show and at the bars, your sweat is 6% alcohol and you can't eat another slice of pizza if your life depended on it. Wanna ease the pain? Pre-planning my friends, pre-planning. Designate 4 pairs of shoes for the show, one for each day, plus a sock change and freshening up your kit prior to the premieres is key. Drink at least 3 of those giant lemonades per day. Yup they are over-priced but well worth every penny. Final note, Advil liquid gels help the aches and pains be it from work or apres work activities. Trust me you'll be more than ready to out on Saturday if you followed these steps, plus what the hell its the last night, time to send it. Go here for details.
Sunday Oct 16
The show opens at 10, but trust me you won't be there right at 10. There's some stupid marathon raising money for some "insert any worthwhile cause here" and of course it makes sense to shut down part of Canada's largest city. Not like there's any greenspace or city trails where you could actually host this. Can you tell I've been stuck in this before. Anyhow, final day at the show and final day to take advantage of some deals.
* Shop Guys and Girls, take solace in the fact that today is the last day. Share your battle stories with shop staff from other stores. You now have a common bond, you've survived the ski and snowboard show, the work and the party. Today is your last day of bartering over prices. And comment if I'm wrong but since its okay to haggle over the price of last years goggles or boots for that matter, why isn't it okay to haggle over everything? Give it a try. Go to the beer store, see if the guy at the cash will give you a couple of bucks off that two four. Try it at the gas station. Sure $1.29 is a reasonable price for gas but what about cutting a guy a break say $1.10 and you'll buy some windshield washer fluid. Don't know what I'm talking about? Work the show, then read this.
