Snowboard Humor: Craiglist Ads
It's not a new concept. Post unneeded items on Craigslist.org and get some cash in your pocket. Do people really need to sell their old smelly boots though? Even snowboards that no longer exist in production or have rarely been heard of?
2010 Burton US Open Rail Jam Video
Here's a look at this year's US Open Rail Jam, courtesy of Snowboarder Mag. If you look carefully, you'll even catch a glimpse of the guys from Steezin Tv. Don't be fooled by the relaxed flow of these riders. This set-up was massive.

WTF: Olympic Snowboarding Uniform
On Friday December 4th, Burton unveiled the 2010 Olympic snowboard uniform. I keep looking at it and honestly have mixed feelings about it. It's not your typical outerwear look and it's really throwing me off.

New boots!!
I decided Friday that I was going to get into the snowboarding spirit and pick up a new pair of boots to replace the Burton's I have. Can't wait to get rid of those!!
I decided to go with 08/09 ThirtyTwo Prion's. I had previously tried on the Burton Mint's at the expo and a pair of K2's at another shop but neither of those felt as good as the Prion's. I was surprised at how much better I actually like the lace up boots over the Boa design. For me, it's easier to tighten and loosen the laces where I need them to be.
