MR. Scotty Vine

I want to give a shout out to a humble ass dude, Scotty Vine.  He has always put out banger parts, from Stepchilds, CHILDSUPPORT all the way to The PostCard Series with Arbor.  I have had the pleasure to chat with him about the industry and how he feels about it.  Hard work and dedication to the craft seem to be the key to his success in a demanding industry.  All in all this is a great dude with mad style, if you didn't know now you know!  Enjoy and feel the love and passion this man has for Snowboarding, it resonates through his style of riding!

Acrylic on canvas and plaster! 2/21/13

This is a painting I did last winter in Mammoth Lakes.  I really like it one I could stare at for hours, it now resides in my brother and sister in laws home.  I hope they like it as much as I do. 

How to make it as a professional extreme athlete?

Fighting to make it!

I've been working on a big project lately, and have been asking some friends that are pro skaters and pro snowboarders,what has made the difference for you as an athlete that has made it?"  Many, simply put, have replied working the politics just right, others have responded hard work and pushing video content, and most have said, knowing the right people.  This is something I intend to change, I am going to create a space for all athletes to promote themselves and stand a chance if they don't have the opportunity to rub shoulders with Shawn White, or Tony Hawk.  I love these sports and feel a lot of unknown talent is just being brushed to the side!  I will no longer stand for it!  I will keep you all posted on the matters here that matter!  Any questions you have send them my way and I will use my network to get the answers for you!

Snowboard For Life!

Sean Genovese is the man! Thank you Brooke Geery, of YoBeat for keeping the athletes true to their sport relevant, and celebrated!  Sean sums up the Snowboarding world and community much as I have and would!  Great interview!

Michael Jackson Was Hot But The Yawgoons Tricks Are Hotter!

If you haven't head of Yawgoons catch up!  Check them out, this crew from Yawgoon, Rhode Island is amazing.  They don't need any damn air bags, of foam pits, they are raw and talented.  They have been featured on YoBeat often, and for good reason.  They stay TRUE to the Alternative Sport Community, which in my opinion is having fun, spreading the love and inspiring us to get out there and make something fun out of nothing.

YAWGOONS: Spring Vacation

Arrested Development has finally arrived!  The opening scene is accompanied by Seth Rogan and Kristin Wiig, two great comedic actors hoping to ruin Cinco De' Drinko a ridiculous event in Newport Beach, Ca.  This satire holds true to Arrested Developments roots, oh and did I mention this episode was also featured the Workaholics crew.  It has been years since I have heard Ron Howards voice narrating the audacious plots of the Bluth family, and I'm stoked to hear it yet again!  First episode is as I expected good ol' American comedy!! I'm sure the rest of the season will follow suit. 

Disclosures New Track Is On Fire

When A Fire Starts To Burn

Disclosure is one of my new found favorite electro duos.  The members of this group happen to be bothers, Guy and Howard Lawrence.  They grew up in Surrey, England.  Explaining their tasteful, poppy synth sound!  They have just released another great track, "When A Fire Starts To Burn" listen here on Soundcloud.  Keep an eye out for their album 'Settle' due to release June 3.  I'm sure spontaneous dance parties will occur all over the world when this album is pumping out Disclosures beautifully refreshing sound!
