Think Thank goes straight to the dome with “Right Brain Left Brain” Meticulously messy, precisely unpredictable and controlled chaos. Snowboarding is everything and can do anything. Such a lofty pursuit takes both halves of one’s brain.

Underdogs Take Top Spots in Slopestyle Semis at Canadian OpenPosted by: medo in Contests, TTR
Another gorgeous day greeted riders and spectators today at Canada Olympic Park for the men’s and women’s slopestyle semifinal competition. Bluebird skies illuminated the 600m long slopestyle course which was made up of a step-up saddle to down box, followed by a down-flat-down kink rail, a log jib, down rail, wall ride and three kickers, two of which were split down the middle by a channel.
One of the wildest rail teasers! The Bang Show presents “Back To The BoneYard”. Hammers, Minor Threat and Bails, doesn’t get any better than this. Tailpress-back 360 on a kink rail?!? Click below and see what is that all about…
Sandbox have just finished the first teaser for their new film, Now You Know. This is just the first teaser with some footage from December, look out for the full teaser coming in a couple months.

Skullcandy Sista Sessions Video Clip Contest Winner - Urška PribošičPosted by: medo in Contests, TTR
The level of the Skullcandy Sista Sessions Video Clip contest was incredibly high and after some careful deliberation the winner is…(drum rolls)… Urška Pribošič from Slovenia. In her clip she showcased a banging frontside 720 and solid park riding skills. With her new pair of Skullcandy headphones and 100€ in her pocket, Urška will be joining us at the Skullcandy Sista Sessions on the 13th of February 2010 at the Mayrhofen Vans Penken Park, Austria, for the Swatch TTR 3Star Slopestyle competition, to compete for the $2500USD prize purse and valuable TTR points.
8mile, originally the basement suite of Mikey Rencz, Johnny Lyall, and Eero Niemela in Creekside, Whistler B.C., was home to many of the worlds top pro snowboarders. A movie you need to see it!
Freeride Battle, the only ski and snowboard freeride event in Slovenia, is moving up for its fifth edition on March 4th to 8th 2010. We gained the status of a Freeride World Qualifier Event (FWQ)! Freeride Battle Kanin 2010 is one of 16 events on three continents, counting for the 2010 FWQ ranking.
DAY 1 - Monday was day one of the Oxbow Back to Powder and Snowbroader is in Areche-beaufort, to cover the event. Areche is a lovely mountain village, dug deep in the beaufortain valley between the mont blanc and the tarentaise. In short, beautiful, preserved…..and packed with Pow!! From the 2 lifts at the bottom you get access to some insane terrain, steep and deep! No wonder Oxbow is here for the second time.
The last 5Star event on the Swatch TTR Tour before the Olympics is up this week in Canada: the Burton Canadian Open. With a possible new female Tour leader and lots of changes in the TTR Top 5 on the women’s and the men’s world ranking list, Calgary will surely see some tough competition in the Slopestyle and Halfpipe formats.
