I, for one, couldn’t be happier that when summer rolls around and all the snow around me melts, that I still get my fix of snowboarding vicariously through summer camp videos.
Stepchild just put out a good one from Whistler’s Camp of Champions featuring Joe Sexton, JP Walker, Simon Chamberlain, Markku Koski, Stian Solberg and E-Man Anderson.
The gang from Westbeach was at Camp of Champions on Canada Day to celebrate the true National holiday and give away 100 bucks to someone for consuming a copious amount of thick, sugary liquid. Check it…
The day has finally arrived. After announcing last week that the teaser for their new movie would be released shortly, Alterna Films has dropped the teaser for their 11th feature video titled Elektro.
There’s a lot of familiar faces, as well as a couple of fresh ones, on the roster, but you can be sure that Elektro will be a solid mix of great backcountry and urban riding. The list includes Mikey Rencz, Chris Dufficy, Matt Belzile, Eero Niemela, Gaetan Chanut, Matt Beardmore, Vera Janssen and Chris Rasman as well as a handfull more.
Check out the teaser on Snowboard Canada, and don’t miss it when it hits stores this fall.
The Sandbox crew is back at it, building hype for their new release Shine On. This little gem comes from last year’s video All Day, Everyday, and features Brendan Keenan and Mikey Pederson’s shared ender.
Mikey and Brendan are both on the roster for this year’s video, so don’t miss it when it drops later this summer.
If it’s your job to follow Canada’s best snowboarders around the world all winter, why wouldn’t you bring a video camera along and document the season?
That’s what Nate Laverty did, and, in addition to catching every move made by Simon Chamberlain, Steve Cartwright, Cory Gallon and Mark Sollors, Nate caught some tricks from Charles Reid, Matt Belzile, Jody Wachniak, Joe Sexton, Nash Lajeunesse and a ton of others.
If you don’t know that professional snowboarder Trevor Andrew’s musical alter ego Trouble Andrew has been building a burgeoning career in the recording industry that was recently solidified by the re-mastering of his self-titled album…then you should probably get a clue (it’s harsh, but it’s true).
Creating music that’s impossibly hard not to tap your foot to, and that’s just as good of a soundtrack for a day on the hill, Trouble’s star is growing in a hurry.
Check out his interview on KarmaloopTV, and then check out another interview that was featured in the pages of Snowboard Canada Magazine.
I’ve really been letting this site slip over the past couple weeks. I guess working 10+ hour days will do that to you…anyways, I promise that I will get back in to the habit of posting all the latest Canadian snowboard news on this site.
Starting…NOW!
You saw the behind-the-scenes photos on Alterna’s blog, now check out the video from Alterna’s private session at Grouse Mountain on PUSH.ca
Chris Rasman, Matt Belzile, JF Fortin, Craig Beaulieu, Tadej Valentan, Chris Dufficy, Johnny Lyall, Wiley Tesseo, Barry Hartman, Beau Bishop, Eero Niemela and Mikey Rencz were all logging footage at the shoot, so if you want to check out all the action that went down (and really, who wouldn’t?) you’ll have to pick up a copy of Alterna’s latest film Elektro when it drops this fall.
But in the meantime, don’t forget to check out the behind-the-scenes action on PUSH.
