    Burton Encourages Snowboarders To ‘Sabotage Stupidity’

    by  • December 3, 2007 • Hair Tips


    There’s still four ski resorts left in the United States that hate snowboarders and refuse to let their kind on the slopes. Burton, clearly unhappy with this, decided to created a contest that is sure to wreak havoc for skiers. Their “Poach for Freedom” challenge encourages riders and crews to let loose on these ski only resorts and promises $5000 to the best video footage documenting the transgressions. Whether for legal reasons or to make people do a little investigation, they don’t mention the four anti-snowboarding resorts, but we do:
    Mad River Glen, VT*, Deer Valley, UT, Alta, UT, Taos, NM

    O’Neill H4 Campack

    The O’Neill H4 Campack is designed to be used as a fully functional snowboard backpack with the addition of an integrated portable media player and external camera lens.
    With ease-of-use lying at the heart of the H4 Campack, the wearer is able to start and stop recording almost effortlessly by pressing a large button positioned on the left shoulder strap. There is most probably no better way to film freestyle and freeride snowboarding action.
    The portable media player is positioned in the backpack’s top pocket safely stored between protective padding. The media player records all the action captured by the goggle strap or helmet mounted camera lens. For instant review on the mountain slope, open the top pocket and check your action via the media player’s screen. For sharing or Internet upload, take out the SD card which is used for video storage and copy the videos to a laptop.
    Definitely a pretty nice idea and actually something that makes sense. The O’Neill H4 Campack will soon be available at the Colette online store.

    This big baby has been here for a week. It makes the Themis (on the right) look like a sail boat. There has been some big bad ass boats in the City Marina this year. I want to know who the big baller is that owns this one. If anyone knows, drop us a email. Jay Z ? Bill Gates? click on photo for a better look

    LONDON///CONSERVING BANKSY…

    by  • November 13, 2007 • Hair Tips


    The EVENING STANDARD reports that the London district of Islington has given Banksy’s street works official protection was trumped only by the revelation that Islington’s city workers were now being trained as art conservators (using taxpayers’ funds) so that they are able to touch up and otherwise mend Banksy’s street installations that get defaced by other taggers.
    One piece in Islington has been repaired five times by workmen who paint over the offending “tags”. A worker was spotted retouching the artist’s “Tate Gallery” piece in Martineau Road, near Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium.
