As the winter comes closer it might be time to update your wardrobe, above are two jackets from Quiksilver signature series which I think looks pretty nice. The one to the left is Jakob Wilhemson’s and the one to the right is Markku Koski’s.
“In Short” is the name of the follow up to “91 words for snow” from Blank Paper Studio. The film will premier this weekend in Europe and you will probably be able to get your hands on it pretty soon.
The film consists of five different short films from locations all over the world. It’s not a regular snowboarding film in it’s ordinary meaning. I didn’t like “91 words for snow” that much. Perhaps I had to high expectations, but hopefully I will like this one better.
Featuring Mikey LeBlanc, Christoph Weber, Mike Basich and many others
Pretty impressive video clip of Loic Jean Albert and some other guys BASE-jumping wearing wingsuits and flying really close to the mountains and ground below. Check out how close that Espin guy is to the road with the cars on it. The location is “Spiret” or “the spire” in Norway.
There’s a competition over at Onboard right now where you can win a pair of Smith Cascade every day until the last of January. Pretty good chances there. If you’re in need of a new pair of goggles all you have to do is to sign up and you might just win a pair.
White is the color of this years Heli Pro backpacks from Dakine. They are available in other styles than the white ones but I think the white ones look the freshest. I don’t know how long you’ll be able to keep it that good looking with dense forests and dirty chairlifts.
The difference between the regular Heli Pro and the Girl Heli Pro is that the harness is designed to fit a girls body better than the regular one and the design of it.
Some of the features:
– Deployable water bottle pocket
– Diagonal ski carry
– Fleece lined goggle pocket
– Insulated hydro sleeve
– Snowboard cross carry
– Vertical snowboard carry
– Waterproof, fleece lined camera pocket
– Quick draw ice axe sleeve
A new free online snowboard magazine have arrived, it’s called “International Snowboarder Magazine” or ISM for short.

Billabong have launched their 07/08 winter collection which can be seen on their website. With the new “Expression Series” you can create your own kind of design. The Tag Jacket comes with a black and white pen and you’re supposed to make it look your own.
The “Signature Series” have the same concept as last season. Risto Mattila, Antti Autti, Wolle Nyvelt, Christophe Schmidt and Marius Otterstad have all collaborated with Billabong and come up with a different style.
Below are three of the five jackets from the signature series. The blue jacket to the left is called “Shomen” and is designed by Wolle Nywelt. The yellow one in the middle called “Sumo 1-2” is designed by Antti Autti and the one to the right is Risto Mattila’s called “the AKA”.
