Realms at Sunshine

Realm 19!!! With 100 percent more Snow!!

Saturday was the best ender in a while. Its pretty hard to beat blazing sunshine, spring snow and a well thought out park. Add wafting BBQ smoke, a who's who of Ontario snowboarding and a soon to be who's who and I'm ready for a summer of rehabbing wrists and knees. So hopefully, I can go and ride this more.......

Snow Coolers

Finally, the endless cycle of warm weather, then rain then minus 20 has decided to break for the last few days. The result? The perfect excuse to build snow coolers and hoist a couple fun sodas. Beaver and I hung out with the guys from Sign on Saturday at Mansfield for the annual Hot Dogs and Handrails. Intersting park to say the least and they'll be some vid up later. From Mansfield we drove up to Blue to catch the Telus Triple Challenge. Actually, we drove up to Blue for the end of season party and to watch some evil kinievl battle of the tens nonsense. The awesomeness started at the parking garage whent televator door opened to reveal the SBC crew doing laps in towels!!! As for the snow stuff, Dave Fortin won it (12), Kevin Konings took 2nd (10), Osachuk took 3rd. Beaver and I won though with licensed seats on Rusty's patio. Of course there was the usual after party, with only one choice of beverage. Tall silver bullets!! Awesome, with every ounce of sarcasm intended. Although it did provide quite the topic of conversation with the likes of Ricci, Houghton, Langhorst and Roth. Plus with Dave Fortin doing the 10 percent, there was always one in my hand. The rest fades into a late night Pita Pit haze. Oh the point of this blog has nothing to do with what I just wrote. New Realms up!!!

Snowboard Realms, tomorrows gear today or last week if you were there

TJ Schneider gives you a glimpse into the last SIA show in Vegas, at least for a few years with the latest installment of the Snowboard Realms. Along with some forward thinking green-o-vations and a quick peek at next years Union and Capita lines. For the full experience shotgun 10 Tecates and put a plastic bag over your head to simulate the recycled air. You get the point its fun for a while but not something you want to do everyday.

For your viewing enjoyment: Last Week

Due to severly impaired typing skills this ones going to be somewhat short. To recap TJ Schneider was in town last week with Capita photographer Joel Fraser and No Limit's Mikey Scott. Aside from creating a deadly combination of funk in my basement the crew was in town filming local riders for Tj's Snowboard Realms. Matt Bujok's got a great frontboard at that church on the hill in that town we won't mention. I've wanted to see somewhat hit this since like 1982..or somthing. Taylor Hill has some styled ollies to flat, Gauley's got the gap,Dani Browns got a bunch of shots, plus Justin Jopling, Jamie Corneal and more. Enjoy and Thank Tj, Joel, Mikey and everyone that came out.

Snowboard Realms Ontario 2009

So Monday night at 2:30 am, actually I guess it would be more like Tuesday morning at 2:30 am, an entourage of good times arrived at my front door, marketing guy and Ontarian at heart, Mikey Scott showed up with the one and only TJ Schneider and C3 Photographer Joel Fraser. AFter a late start Tuesday morning, we headed out and visited some shops and were off to Lakeridge with the Switch crew for some hot Snowboard Realms action. The park was fun and you'll see some good trains in the Ontario realms with the likes of Matt Bujok, Dani Brown, Justin Jopling and Jamie Corneal. Oh and the 30 or so other guys, including The Boarding Huts Adrian Denzil to Switch's Scott Bingley to the infamous Beaver.

Thats it for now, but tonight were at Dagmar with the Alcatraz Crew Skate and Snow, so come out, and have some fun. This will likely be the last update till Friday but if you can't make it to Dagmar you'll definitely want to be at Horseshoe Thursday during the day to be part of the never ending train!!!
