Eero Etalla

November 11, 2008, blue skies and two thousand happy fans greeted 18 starters for the super-final at Atomic Superpark Dachstein. The level of riding was technical and extremely high. Wiig who barely made November 10th’s cut was predicted a favorite to win. His second run: switch bs9, fs10, bs rodeo9 allowed him to do just that and take first rank!

DC shoes have been heavily involved in the snowboard industry for years now. Boasting an amazing team, the infamous mountain lab films, boot and tech outerwear lines the have been doing a pretty good job. But for this winter they have made that big step into the board market. How much of the extremely competative market they will manage to grab is yet to be seen, but judging by their track record Burton watch out! more –> DC Shoes

Starting of the 08/09 winter season with the first round up of who’s out shredding and who’s spending to much time in doors fiddling with their iPhone!

“Danny Kass came out swinging with some heavy ad and edit support to put him on the top of the heap for the first round, but Devun Walsh is breathing down his neck, thanks in no small part to his DC ads and a ridiculous Transworld cover shot. Travis Rice rounded out the coveted top-three with some strong ad support for his much-awaited movie That’s It, That’s All, as well some solid editorial coverage of TITA and his Natural Selection contest. Look for him to be a strong contender this year due to TITA, Natural Selection’s second round, and a few skills. Speaking of mad skills, Jamie Anderson exhibited hers in a huge article in Snowboarder’s September issue and finds herself starting the season in the top-ten overall and number one on the editorial chart. Darrell Mathes, Stevie Bell, Iikka Backstrom, and Jake Blauvelt also migrated into the illustrious top-ten from the Exposure-Meter hinterlands”

Premature Jibulation events go down all across North America and Europe through November and December.

Vans is proud to introduce Andreas Wiig’s first signature model. The boots includes the Vans new Quadfit Asym-X thermal liner that works with the structure of the leg for superior fit, the Vans Flight Core Air Snowaffle Sole with a dual gel/air dampening cassette and RECCO® Rescue Reflectors. The boots also come in Black/White and Red/White/Blue.  Wiig took inspiration from his Viking roots for this boot which matches up with a snow jacket and trouser using an eye-catching yellow lumberjack plaid. If that is just a little too loud for your taste there is a classic looking grey and white pinstripe version.

The latest in the Consolidated “Don’t do it” saga, which started in the late 90′s as a backlash to Nike‘s attempts to break into the skateboard industry, is a collaboration with Rome SDS. Rome’s Libertine boot was used in the project and exhibits the ever smile enducing banana swoosh with classic drunk colourways. Obviously this is a not so coincidental dig at Nike‘s appearance on the snowboarding stage. It will be interesting to see what conroversy ensues.
