Airhole Visit / T.I. Interview / Dave Harris



The Airhole crew came by for a little visit yesterday. I'm pretty sure Kale's from another planet. Here's a taste of the visit.



Dave Harris is the funniest person in the world. The stuff I've heard come out of his mouth over the years is beyond ridiculous. I've been wanting to catch him in the act forever now but he isn't easy to film. Last Sunday I had a major breakthrough.

Keep posted for more Dave on the Dave updates channel on our Video player. The channel will be featuring content by anyone who goes by the name "Dave". Should be good.

This is probably the best Rapper interview I've ever seen.

TI interview!

Chucky's tattoo

After a short little visit by Chucky and his good buddy Dustin Craven yesterday I learned they picked up some pretty epic impulse tatty's last May.



Under the image of the hand throwing up the peace sign it's written "best summer ever" some how predicting the summer they both eventually experienced. Keep an eye out for the next issue of Updown Magazine for more heart warming stories about friendship in Dustin's "Greasy" little interview by yours truly.

Hey look

Perry & Louise... Videos videos videos!!!



So Perry calls us up last minute late Wednesday afternoon because Ben's out of town and he wants someone from the office to head over to Boardroom around six that night to do the IS Eyewear PK for him. Steve's out of town, I have plans so Jr.Burger agrees to help out. I help JB "short for Jr.Burger" get stuff ready then leave the office for the day. The next morning I ask JB how it went. So he gives me the run down then starts telling me about Perry's cute little introduction where he kisses JB's ass for saving his day and shi*t talks me & Steve. "JB's a super hard worker... Blah blah blah... I love him so much... Blah blah blah... he's the only person in the who office that actually works... Blah blah blah... Once Scientists figure it out I want to have his Child... Blah blah blah... I can't believe Karl gets paid a salary to do a blog and I don't even know what Steve does over there?" Real nice Perry. Didn't you just get back from a 3 week holiday where you and your buddy Thelma and Louised it across Canada... You poor thing, Couves must really be working you to the bone.. Haha



The IS Video Player is slowly filling up with content. Its pretty cool, you can download video directly to desktops or to mobile devices. I've set up a bunch of channels with more to come. So far we have PartySnake, Airhole, Kale, Dev, Duff, Daves Updates, Lil Bastards, 15Peddler and Archive channels where we'll be constantly uploading footage. We'll be setting up a SponsorMeChannel shortly where we'll be posting all the sponsor me videos we receive for the world to see and our team to watch and decide who makes the cut. To get your sponsor me video on the SponsorMeVideo channel send it to info@iseyewear.com in a quicktime format.

I forgot how hard Mr. T ran shi*t in the 80's.



I bet if you would of sat 50 Cent down as a kid and asked who he wanted to be when he grew up he'd have told you he wanted to be Mr. T. Good on ya fitty, you're just a tv show and cereal sponsor away from making your dream come true.

REP OF THE MONTH: its been awhile since we featured a rep of the month. Ben Couves "sandwiched between a young Rod Stewart and Mr. MC Hammer piano pants" secured the coveted award yesterday when he sent over this amazing photo



with this explanation to my what the hell is going on in this photo. "Hahaha it was in grade 11, I won that guitar on the radio for a short story I wrote high on mushrooms about being high on mushrooms.hahahha amazing." -Ben


Hey we're having a MONSTER SALE October 16th and 17th.



Don't miss out, Dave's BBQing big time!

Welcome to 1984, where money was for nothing and chicks were free.



Sorry if you're (G) because they say the (F) word in the video. In their defense, they're calling themselves (F's) so I guess its not that bad but I'm not (G) so I wanted to make sure we didn't catch any heat like the time we posted Kale's Airhole commercial. We good?

Double Post: We had some server trouble yesterday so here's a nice juicy double post to sink your cyber teeth into. Enjoy!

So we're looking through the All Style Apparel and Active wear catalog here at the office and a couple pages in one of the models start looking real familiar.



I'm like, hey Yvonne give me that. Oh shi*t is that...



Holy crap, its Browner doing a sandal wheelie!

Yeah we have our own Nascar. No biggie..



NASCAR Nationwide Series driver Brian Keselowski # 92 K-Automotive Dodge reppin' IS Eyewear



"IS Eyewear, the fastest gangsta shade in the Nascar game" - Brian Keselowski

So if you read this thing at all you know we have our flow team working hard on their very own video project this season called "Party Snake" of which they pretty much have free rein to do whatever. The only thing I've stressed is to have our updated logo and website on the teaser. At least they pulled through on the logo. Hopefully for the video they can figure out the correct web address.


partysnake from leepipes on Vimeo.

As you can see this isn't going to be a pretty little art snowboard flick. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little worried. We're also gathering footage from the rest of the IS Eyewear allstars (Dev, Wille, Tadashi, Kale, Duff, Andrew Fuller...) for the Party Snake video which will most likely be its own section. Here's the type of footage you can expect from them..



The video will available online but we'll most likely be doing a small run of DVD's with tons of video extras which will be available for free at premieres, through friends of friends and online. Kale is working on his own Airhole video this year as well which we're working on including within the party snake DVD. Its gonna be out there so be ready!

STORMCHASERS

This Collection marks the first standard line of apparel and accessories that will be offered throughout the year, regardless of season. New pieces will replace sold out pieces and updated collections will debut every three months.

RAMPAGE SERIES

The Rampage Series is a collaboration between Endeavor Snowboards and Ransom Holding Co., a Canadian street wear label focused on quality garments with an urban flavour. Over the past three seasons, Ransom has gained  recognition, being sold in street wear's elite accounts Union, HUF SF, Kicks HI, and their own stores Ransom and Goodfoot. The crew over at Ransom are avid snowboarders and friends of Endeavor, so what better company to collaborate with than them! For more information on Ransom, look online at www.ransomholdingco.com.

The graphic of the Rampage Series pays homage to the boards we learned how to snowboard on. This particular one was inspired by the Kemper Rampage, which had paint splatters all over the topsheet. The base is sublimated to get poppy colours and a rich black. The topsheet is very simple, inspired by prototype boards Endeavor makes for R&D. The minimalist style with a textured tone on tone graphic is consistent with both brands images.

The Rampage Series is an all mountain freestyle snowboard. With a medium flex, carbon stringers, Kevlar binding reinforcement,  and a poplar/quaruba wood core, this deck is fully loaded.

Magic Kales stump back mountain



Kale just got back from nearly a week at Super park with Jbone & Paavo filming for both Airhole and 8mile. On the first day he slide back first over a huge stump located in one of the landings just barely missing his spine. It put him out for a couple days but he still managed to get a couple tricks on the last day of his trip.

Instead of flying directly back to Vancouver Kale stopped over in Vegas to hang with his man Chris Angel, the latest addition to Airhole squad. According to Kale they're working on a new "sexy magic theme" for the 09/10 line of Ninja masks. When asked about their insta-relationship Angel quickly breaks it down for us "Kale blows minds boarding they same way I blow minds with my magic. We're both at the top of our game so it cool just vibing off each other, the energy's wild. You're gonna see this energy unfold first hand through my new "extreme" blend of Chris Angel magic which I'll be showcasing in the Airhole movie out this fall. Hopefully I'm as big of an inspiration to Kale as he has been to me. Who knows, you may even see a magic trick or two in Kales part??".

Vancouver, B.C. – Airhole – Ninja Masks You Idiot -  Launches in North American and Japan Fall 2007

 

The Airhole concept is from the twisted minds of Chris Brown and Kale Stephens. It is the most technical concept ever applied on a face mask before. It’s a hole and you breath through it. Sounds simple right? Well it is, you idiot.

 

“Kale and I were up shredding one day in the backcountry and it was super cold on my face. I had used all kinds of scarves and bandanas before but nothing was ever that comfortable. That’s when I came up with the idea for face masks. The name was formed from clouds of smoke and the slogan came out of Kale’s mouth in the first commercial on the Fury blog @ IS designs’ website. “AIRHOLE: Ninja Masks You Idiot” Out of all of that we got a company on the go”, says co-founder Chris Brown.

 

We have always been into ninjas growing up and the masks are, well, ninja masks so we decided to go with that theme. They are far superior to anything that you have put on your face before. They have high quality functional materials that will leave you satisfied in cold or sunny situations. They will also look really dope with stylized patterns and ill fits.”

 

Airholes are available in five different styles, all named after ninja swords and knives, and available in three different colourways: Black Ninja, White Ninja, and Red Ninja. Their team is already heavily stacked: Kale Stephens, Chris Brown, Paavo Tikkanen, Trevor Andrew, Erik Christiansen, Iikka Backstrom, Eero Niemela, Johnny Lyall, Andrew Geeves, Mikey Rencz, Chris Dufficy, and industry veteran Jon Sommers.

 

Airhole will be available in North America and Japan Fall 2007. Endeavor Snowboards is handling all sales and press enquiries for North America. For more information, please contact Chris Martin at 604.646.4727 or chris@endeavorsnowboards.com.

 

 

About

 

Founded by pro snowboarders Kale Stephens and Chris Brown, Airholes are face rags for all of your life activities – snowboarding, snowmobiling, concealing your identity. Using innovative functional materials, unique form fitting patterns, and the most ground breaking concept – a hole that you breath through, Airholes are the most innovative product available in the face protection market today.

Kale Facts
Just saw the new DVS ad of Kale doing his front 9 tail over perfect jump and figured I'd give you a Kale update as it has been a while. Actually, this will be the first one, and you will soon see that keeping track of what he is up to is a hard thing to do. First up, Kale picked up a new shop sponsor this month, The Source in Calgary. Those guys are super cool and Kale is hyped to be on the team along with Devun. Kale and Browner have been busy working on their Ninja mask company Airhole aswell, with Kale doing lots of the actual designing. Should be out soon. Next, Kale's song in this year's Wear It Well was hooked up since Kale is actually good friends with Skyzoo. Also, our scientists here at Whiteout have confirmed that Kale was a top 3 star of French Halloween, and this picture just confirms these results.

Endeavor Snowboards is excited to announce the addition of professional snowboarder Kale Stephens to the team. Signing Kale is just one of the many exciting events happening at Endeavor this fall.

Kale’s powerful riding style combined with his devout work ethic is a perfect fit for the Endeavor family. His familiarity of the Whistler backcountry has earned him a standout part in the upcoming Whiteout Film “Wear it Well”. Kale’s antics on and off the slopes keep him grounded in the sport where success can easily go to one’s head – Kale is the definition of snowboarding. “Kale is a solid name in snowboarding. Having parts in Mac Dawg and Whiteout movies for the last five years, it’s time for Kale to really make an impact on snowboarding. I believe both Endeavor and Kale will benefit immensely from this relationship” says managing director Max Jenke.
 
Kale is presently coaching at Camp of Champions in Whistler and will be traveling to New Zealand in August to film and ride with the Billabong team. As well, Kale will be pursuing his own endeavor, Airhole, with business partner Chris Brown. Kale’s other sponsors include Billabong, IS Design, SP, Drop, DVS, the Circle, and Airhole.
