What´s up!!

After one month of clouds, rain, and cold, the sun came out for about a week… it was up to 35 degrees and felt sooo good. But it´s already over…  hello rain!

In this sunny week I went biking, swimming and of course riding again after a long, long break… totally forgot how much fun it is!! I was in Hintertux together with the MOG crew.

In the morning, as long as it wasn’t too soft, we were filming a bit of park riding. In the afternoon I tried my new GoPro for the first time. Yihhhaa! I finally got one too!

Check the lil vid I made following my buddies.

Nothing to do this weekend to celebrate the 4th of July? Come check out the 686-sponsored Ironman in Hermosa Beach.

Brave enough to enter? You only have to run a mile, paddle a mile and then pound a 6-pack. You can do it!

Pre-registration is at The Underground in Hermosa on July 3 from 2-6pm.

Event starts on July 4 at 30th and The Strand at 10am SHARP!

Check the flyer and photos from last year below.

We hope to see you there!

Hello world!

Since getting back from my trip to LA to shoot the sickest new ad campaign for 686 I have been super busy. (Thanks to the whole 686 crew it was amazing!)I started a little construction project building “the wing” as I like to call it here at my place in Bellingham, WA. It’s been a great learning experience. I’ve been gettin’ right in up in there slamming my hand with hammers and shooting nails past my feet. Although I still managed to take a few choice break days to hit up the mountains and get some late spring boarding in. One of those days we hit the infamous Mt. Baker step up.

686 shred Derek Dennison and fellow Technine teammate Dylan Thompson stepped it up while Snowboarder Magazine’s Senior Photographer E-Stone captured the action for next year’s mag. How do  your knees feel Derek? Ouch! Good thing you’ve been hitting up the gym lately…

Many of you have wanted us to bring back Free Friday’s for a while, so here’s a Spring contest to satisfy you. The winners (yes, that means more than one…) of this contest will get hooked up with a 686 Spring package.

So, here we go with the details. What are you up to this summer? Did you build a man cave in your basement to hide out and watch old snow flicks? Or maybe you rip on a wakeboard or have mad crazy BBQ skills? We want to know what you guys do when you’re not on the hill, so give up the goods. Most creative and unusual will be crowned victorious. Plus, there will be a few winners, so don’t be shy!
