This Dood is Smart and Dumb all at once.
I was on Yobeat clickin around and Ahart of agoodreed has a story about this EX%N story. First EX%N?!, unless you're collecting a check why would you go to this site, when there are so many more legit sites to visit. While it's funny that a Skier would claim cool (not really they always thought they were and still do) these are the same fuckers that wanted nothing to do with snowboarding decades ago. That was until they realized that they could profit from it. So all the hate and prejudice I experienced as a young rider swiftly became encouragement for profit. As snowboarding became increasingly more popular skiers became older and older. As few as couple years ago Skiers mean age was close to the 60's. That states a lot too me, a generation gap that reminds me of computers and tech. While the snowboard brands start to get bought by larger ski brands and board short brands which lead to pumping up the pop culture level plus Extreme-lames and Olympic Hype. Now you ride for your Country? Weak sauce! This all leads into the cool or cooler write up that EXskiboyN trys to hate and claim that skiers are cool or cooler. While he does make some strong points as to the lameness of some riders it's nothing that other snowboarders wouldn't call snowboarders out on too.
First he had to write the story because no one else but poser youth who want to be "different" knew. (there are still significantly more skiers than snowboards (fact) just go out on speed racer night and count) Skiing has three hour plus boot fits!? Why do you want to put your foot into anything that takes that long to fit, no fun! But I leave it to you, I find that snowboarding offers me much more on the Hills of the Midwest. I lend the idea of freedom to riding likening it to skating down the street. Every things a option no rules or guides, But I'll let you all hash it out in the park whether skiing or snowboarding is cooler?! See you on the lips, pussies!

Luke Kicks It Like Whoa!
-Luke Looking on-
We live in sweat-stained boots for weeks on end.
We dart through little bands of bare trees
when it becomes too cold to wiggle our fingers.
We hit our heads, we slam our shoulders.
There’s a sharp pain between our ribs.
It’s been gray for weeks,
we might have seen the sun last month,
but we’re out there every day.
We scout, we shovel, we scrape.
We build, we break, we trespass.
Our boards, our bindings crack.
Our jackets snag and tear.
Our cameras freeze to death.
We get rained on.
We get no sleep, we have no control.
Our steam rises to the skies.
A lot of people wonder what the hell we are doing.
A lot of people think we are wrong
and some of them yell at us.
They scream as loud as they can that we are wrong.
But the trees and the hills and the clouds
and the snowflakes aren’t theirs to see
the way that they are ours.
They don’t paint the walls with P-tex.
They don’t scribble their stories sliding above stairsets.
They don’t grind out their defeats in the pavement.
They don’t confront winter.
They don’t float on fresh snow.
They don’t melt into the mountains.
We make all of this.
Ourselves.
It can never be wrong.

On the Road..Lift Lines and Times!
Been on the road, not alot of stuff on here, but a lot of stuff happening. Sure I'm slacking on this blog. Well we're trying to get this paper copy Magazine off the ground and into your hands. The struggle continues, but thanks to all the people that have helped to this point! It's winter for really and 25 days in to this season I must say Snowboarding cures hangovers, mild on colds, and heartache! Doctors, shit who needs em?! Strap in and feel well, Filming is under way for a bunch of Midwest videos right now! Tons of snow around our parts has put crew upon crew to the test on the Midwest stairways and hand rails. Looks like another heavy Midwest shots in the majors! Can they hang with the locals? That always the fun part, "super shred" rides rails get shot that local did three years ago better?! Funny stuff in this snowboard game, cuz you get payed your shots stronger than the "no namer". Oh well who really cares! Just rip it!
Prejibs are in the bag and they were super fun, some kid called bullshit on the Mt. Holly one claiming it was rigged?! I think he was to high to notice the slew of kids riding triple as hard as him! Fuck that really pissed me off, but just another snowboard 09 thought, we all should make the final cuz everyone rips the with no styles and does two tricks! Seriously kids you need to switch it up some and learn some new shit, make that the motto for the year, keep learning, and get some style!! Any style don't just bit Nick Driks, Jed, Jonas, and Joe. I mean there have some to go around, but get your own! Maybe join the foundation snowboard camp and we can help you out a little and send you on your way with some free shit too!
Sales meeting hype is also done, that's always sick, rip with the homies I only see about ones or twice a year! John Graham is a serious ripper I really enjoy riding with him! Mantana represent via the hoe aka Tahoe. Also it's sick when you roll into a meeting after lunch where you were just ripping a tram run at Jay! Everyone looking at you like you should be in this meeting and than they realize you just got runs while they talked shop and they're all pumped/bummed at the same time! Funny stuff in my opinion, meetings haha!
So the Twolves really suck and that bums me out, but the Tubby and Gophers are killing it! What happened to kids Skateboarding? Shops aren't sell sakteboards to save there lives. Hey if you skate and your decks beat, man up and get a freshie best thing ever swear! The shit will pop again and all those tricks you have will feel much better. Hey yeah I get it, it's winter and Masonite buggers suck so fuck the noise and skate a parking ramp or a basement. Make it happen!
And I'll leave this rant with the best damn scorpion photo I seen in a long time, ripped from the Rome SDS site! AWESOME!

Autumn Line Premier Late Late Recap
Adam Porter MC
All Smiles main man Syndicate Kevin
Blasko now runs wild in the West
All Smiles Dan and Ryan peep there parts
Syndicates other half
Michigan Crew with whos that girl
Well this is a day late and eight dollars short but what's a busy guy to do folks?! This is a annual premier that host big name pros, local heros, and everyone in between. Autumn Lines flim this year is a beautiful mastery of images to me. I felt like watching it on a large scene would suit it fine, much to me pure enjoyment it came off clean, clear and fresh. Also premeiring that evening was the much anticipatied Syndicate release of All Smiles. The crew should that the Cleveland scene contiunes to push forward as a staple zone for interesting riding and rippers. The event was fun and the after party was in effect. More good times, house party/super sleep over for the younger crowd. Props to Cleveland/Akron/Kent Crews, Autumn Line, Syndicate, and the Porter Families!
The Villagers
Martini's for everyone
Ok Start....
Hold it.....
Wait for it.....
