Don’t forget that tomorrow is the massive Team Up Sale at Xtreme Adrenaline. We are going to have Class Five boards at the lowest prices you have seen! Prices range from $99-$375, so you know you are getting a good deal.
Boards from our Black and White collection will be on sale and we will be giving you a sneak peak at our 10/11 snowboards as well.
Don’t miss it, one day only! See you tomorrow!
Not sure if any of you have noticed. But we recently updated the snowboards page. It is a deviation from our 08/09 Collection’s graphics but it makes for some nice looking boards. Our 09/10 Collection is all black and white. Maybe inspired by The Beatles White album or maybe it was Metallica’s black album. Either way these graphics put a new spin on all our hype colors from last season.

Rail Wars at Asessippi was a great time. The hill and Xtreme Adrenaline did a great job of putting on the contest and it looked like everyone involved really enjoyed themselves.
For us, the day started with the crew piling into the van in the early morning to make the trek out to Asessippi. Luckliy we had a dvd player and Shrek 2 to keep us occupied for the long drive.
Craig, Mark, Kurtis and Stuffed Animal in the van for the drive up. (Plus a glimpse of an 10.11 Class Five graphic).
The contest was a pretty decent setup with a host of riders from around the area taking part. Being called Rail Wars, the setup was your choice of a down-rail or flat-box, and a then a barrel jib.
Craig looks on as Mark does a 270 into the down-rail.
Some of the highlights were: (1) all three of the Class Five riders at the event making it to the finals, (2) Mark showing Kurtis how to tie his bib around is leg, (3) Kurtis missing the finals because he was doing park laps trying to figure out what tricks he should do for the finals (nice work Kurtis); and (4) Mark and Craig taking first and second place respectively.
Young teaches the old. Mark shows Kurtis how to tie your contest bib around your leg.
A fun event that promises to be even better next year. Thanks for the great time everyone!

After a week of blue bird days the finals for the Canadian Open in Calgary were fogged out. Even though the weather wasn’t the best some pretty insane riding went down. Class Five rider Mark McMorris rode well in the finals but unfortunately had a fall in his run that held him back from scoring higher. Mark finished in 9th place.
Here a few photos of Mark and Craig McMorris from the week leading up to the event.

Thanks to Mitch Crowshaw for snapping the last three photos.
Be sure to check out the live coverage of the Canadian Open this weekend. We are super stoked that our rider Mark McMorris qualified in 3rd place in the slopestyle semi-finals today. That puts him in a great spot going into slopestyle finals on Sunday. Just go to opensnowboarding.com and check click on the Canadian Open to watch the event live. It will be airing on Sunday at 11am MST.
Better yet, if you live in or near Calgary head on down to COP to check the action out first hand. Go Mark!
Yo! You gotta scope this. Kurtis Rothecker’s part from Nuulife’s Sixes and Sevens.
