The Now bindings are explained. Or at least given a try. A lot of talk about bushings and other skate related stuff. But I guess if Jeremy Jones likes them they are worth a try. The idea with responding bindings sounds good. My only concern is that they seem to alter your riding experience and tradition a bit too much. But I guess it´s evolution.
One of the most interesting snowboard brands out there are European Artec Snowboards. Artec produces middle priced boards and are well established in Europe. In the Austrian or French Alps you are more likely to see boards from Apo, Artec or another European brand than say Lib Tech or Rome. And I must say that I like it.
For the coming season Artec have stepped up the graphics. Playful with good colours. And the boards seems to be a bit more versitale and all mountain for each year. But still with a focus on freestyle riding.
P.S…We Love Trees from P.S. Webisodes on Vimeo.
So far the only webisodes we´ve been watching are the ones from Hana Beaman called PS. Great riding, nice music and an overall feel you can´t beat.
Full part with Laura Hadar. She´s always been on top with things, especially since she´s been riding for Flux Bindings and Holden for ages and been on the Nike Boots team for a long time.
This one is a few days old, but still worth watching. The riding is great. The name and the main sponsor is not so great. In Europe we havn´t been as exposed to all types of sodas and energy drinks as the action sports in the US. But it´s about to change. Sure you can go with fish liver oil like the almighty Terje. But still the best choice is water. So please support We drink water rather than Red Bull.
We all know that euro shredding rules and the alps are the best. Some years after Burton and the stash park DC Shoes have opened the park in Kitzbuhel. This is going to be great!
