1. Snowboard Events Happening
Snowboarding is all around! even though the leaves have barely started
changing colors here.
The snowboard teams have hit the road with their film premieres. Check the
Snowboard Events Calendar to see what's going on, at
http://www.SnowboardEventsCalendar.com (hint, if you're lazy at typing
and don't have it bookmarked yet, just type
www.SBeventscalendar.com/ and
that will work too.)
The Snowboard Events Calendar is my creation, going on its 3rd season. It's
the biggest snowboard events calendar online, and made to be easy to read.
On-snow events are lots of fun to attend. Don't think you need to be
competing to go! So check the calendar for events near you. New events go up
all the time so check often.
Last year we added a California calendar too. (Cali readers - I need help
getting in touch with the resorts to have them add their events. Can I get
an intern? There are perks!!)
Anyway, last week I hit the Grenade/Vans "Smell the Glove" movie premier and
live music fest at Specialty Sports in Pompton Plains, NJ. Saw old and new
friends and lots of skateboarding kids. Fun.
Tonite I'm headed to the Burton World Tour Party at Avalon in NYC. Check out
the calendar at

In the next issue of the Szine, watch for a description of the latest cool
articles we've posted up online. I like to keep the Szine pretty short, so
we'll wait til next time. (If you can't wait, peek here:

2. New! Who's Who in Snowboarding
SnowboardPROfiles.com is my newest creation - the Who's Who in Snowboarding.
It's the place where ANY sponsored rider can post his or her profile and
pictures up for the world to see (and Google to find!)
If you're sponsored, go for it at
http://www.SnowboardPROfiles.com.
This summer I got to interview Jeremy Jones (Rossignol) and Scotty Lago and
Antti Autti (Flow Team). Their interviews are up, at
http://www.SnowboardPROfiles.com,
of course.
Antti Autti came in third at the US Open Halfpipe, and took the gold and
bronze in the 2 halfpipe comps in September at The FIS Snowboard World Cup
Valle Nevado, Chile. Antti is now the overall leader in FIS Halfpipe for the
season and will be competing for Finland on their Olympic Team.
Find out what Antti Autti's secret vice is at

Stop Snowboard Crime!
Snowboard Registry.com.
http://www.SnowBoardRegistry.com
Register your snowboard serial number to help prevent snowboard crime.
And check serial numbers there before you buy a used board to make sure
you're not buying someone's stolen board.
- Because it's bad karma to ride a stolen board!

3. Awesome Snowboard Art
Remember the Woodstock Tattoo and Body Art Festival that I covered last
September?
http://www.snowboardsecrets.com/Articles/woodstk.htm
The Snowboard Art Exhibit "Rides of Passage" debuted there, then traveled to
NYC, LA, Burlington VT, and Austria and is going to Amsterdam and Tokyo. It
features 117 of the top tattoo and graffiti artists in the world doing
original works of art on blank boards provided by Burton.
A 180 page hard back book on the exhibit has just come out. It features full
page shots of all of the boards. There is a "details" section (shot by Ricky
Levinson who is a great snowboard photographer, he shoots all of Burton,
Gravis, and Analog), and highlights from the various openings with the
participating artists and Burton pro riders hanging out together. Pretty
cool stuff. I hear the book looks fantastic.
The book is available at
