Uhhmm, what?! Coming from the self titled (BDN verified) ‘Funnest Place on Earth,’ Windell’s Ski/Snowboard Camp, is this video of our lil’ buddy Sammy Carlson throwing down a ridonkulous switch triple cork rodeo 12!!!! What next!?!?

While touring the Northwest with the Burton Am Series at Mt Hood Meadows this weekend I had a chance to stop by Windells to check out the campus and see the improvements. To anyone who has not been to Windells in the last few years, or ever for that matter, there have been massive additions in the way of outdoor concrete skate features. The mad scientists are working all winter to lay as much concrete as possible before campers run rampant again. Bonafied dope.
Oh yeah, they also have a new basketball hoop. Who’s in for a game of lightning before pasta night at the Heshin’ Delicatessen?
If you love snowboarding, then you should watch living legend Shawn Farmer talk about where the sport came from and where the real stoke still is. (VIA vbs.tv)
Coming in hot is one of our favorite riders, Eero Ettala. Fresh off a year of filming for his TV Show “Tracking Eero” for OAKLEY comes his “best video part never” to fill your shred brain with expletives like “WTF,” “Wha?” and “Saaaweet!” BDN Stoke Certified.

Ok, so I have been going a lil crazy with the ‘rad’ posts this week, but this one is just too good to continue in a blogosphere holding pattern. A month or so back I posted on DC x Ken Block’s Gymkhana 2 video (watch here) that blew us all away visually. The breathtaking slow motion videography evokes palpable levels of stoke that are becoming harder and harder to capture in extreme sports these days. Well, by way of hype mad man Rob Dyrdek and his Fantasy Factory show on MTV, we present to you, Gymkhana 2.1
And if you thought that was great, I give you my personal favorite, Ken Block’s version of an ‘interview’ on the smashingly entertaining gear head tv program Top Gear. Be sure to look out for dirt biker Ricky Carmichael’s cameo half way through the video. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
The Euro heads from Zimstern clothing couldn’t wait for snow, so they are riding the leaves in the alps in preparation for the imminent winter season. Check out the inspired commercial and definitely watch the ‘making of’ video to gain full appreciation for the project.

This video passed by my radar a few days back and I feel it has to be shared with ya’ll. After melting in 114 degree temps all weekend in Las Vegas and Phoenix, the best cure is 80 degrees in Boulder and of course, snowboard teasers. Although we highlighted all of the video we are anticipating the most this season already, the new ‘Montevideo’ from The Autumn Line looks too sweet to fall through the cracks. Being a child of the 80’s, we absolutely love the tribute to VHS that is dubbed all over this film.
