new blog!

I have a new blog! Check it out at www.thirdwonder.com/blog

it's snowing.

Due to the snow I found on the ground this morning, I've spent a decent part of my day so far watching snowboard videos online, wishing that there were mountains surrounding me, rather than buildings. But here I am and here's a couple of trailers for some videos I wouldn't mind seeing soon. Burton's "It's Always Snowing Somewhere" and Mack Dawg's "Double Decade".

shaun white x target?

It's true. You will soon be able to get clothing designed by Shaun White at your nearest Target location. He has been sponsored by Target for sometime now, but he officially signed a deal with the retailer to develop a line of snow/skate inspired clothing for young boys. Read the rest of the story here. This guy is definitely a little business man. He also recently signed a 10 year partnership deal with Burton to continue riding for their global team and expanding his White Collection line. He's almost like the Payton Manning of action sports. He's so marketable and sooo good at what he does. He also recently won a gold medal for his performance in the superpipe at this years Winter X-Games as well as a bronze medal in the slope style competition. He is now the most medaled athlete at the Winter X-Games. I am definitely a fan of Shaun White. I'm so impressed every time I see him ride, it's unreal how good he is.

another collabo.

Here is another street wear brand and snowboard company teaming up for Winter 2008. Rogue Status, a respectable California street wear label, and Arbor Snowboards, a company who has been turning heads the last couple of seasons, have done a pretty cool collaboration, which is set to release Dec. 17th.

what!!??

Burton X Kidrobot Custom 158. This is so sick! Burton and Kidrobot are two of my favorite brands and this collaboration is so cool. I only wish I had enough money to afford one of these limited addition boards.

winter is almost here.

I love snowboarding, but I love watching good snowboarding almost as much. Guys are doing some amazing things on snowboards these days, and what's just as impressive is the creative camera work production companies are coming up with. I can't wait to see this full length Mack Dawg production. Judging by the trailer it's going to be a great film.
