“Heinz would offer six figures to put White - the Flying Tomato - on everything from ketchup bottles to stewed tomatoes. But White has sought out companies he truly connects with, and sees these deals as a long-term investment portfolio, something that will outlast his knees…
Shaun White just made the cover of this month issue of Fast Company, an innovative business magazine published in the US with a very interesting article on the business the Shaun White brand is worth in the $150 billion youth market.

Today is a day dedicated to LOVE. So go give a kiss to your board! It (she) deserves it!
Ok now go kiss your girl/boy friend, you freak!

Today is also the day Method Mag announced us they are releasing their last issue of the season (shit, we feel like the season didn’t even start yet!!): their highly awaited Photo Annual!

Well, we had Love, we had Drugs, we got Lost… and now we’re feeling the PAIN! Method Mag’s last issue of the winter is the Photo Annual, and it might just be our best one yet…
Why Pain?

Snowboarding may beat you, it may freeze you, and it may bury you in its embrace. It’ll spend all your money and leave you broke for sure. But whether we mean physically or mentally, the pain snowboarding brings is the kind of pain that challenges us, and makes us strong. Mentally or physically, pain is our body telling us to wake the hell up.

Don’t miss out on issue 7.4 of Method Mag and HAPPY VALENTINE everybody!

The 14th issue of Chick’s Power (french speaking) is now in your favorite library. We have never read one, so we are waiting for your comments girls !

Fatal issue for the french snowboard and skateboard magazine made in Grenoble.

October was the last issue, so if you get one in time put it into a frame with candles around. This magazine is a myth !!

These last month the team fighted against their publisher “Les éditions Nivéales” for keeping it a little more alive. But money is money, and nothing to matter with snow & skate !

This is a basement of the french snowboard & skateboard culture which is gone now….

Thank you Fred D. !!
