Hello friends,

Please mark off THURSDAY APRIL 9TH on your calendars, as you are all requested to get out of the office and join Malakye, KNOW?SHOW, Coors Light, SBC and IS Eyewear for a fun day of shredding at Grouse Mountain.

This is the day for you to band together with your co workers and come enjoy endless cups of coffee and bottomless boxes of Donuts, and shred some office boy (and girl, of course) sized obstacles. How does Quasi-Big Air sound? Those who came out last year remember the joy of the hippy jump. There will be "Brass Balls" awarded, "Blue Balls" called out, a "Scorpion King" Crowned, and success in your work will be measured pound by pound in the weigh off. Many other prize categories are up for grabs, and this year, we welcome you to help us out by giving us your ideas for categories and/or supply us with some used office furniture to build into the course.

Malakye just finished Office Booyz USA, click this link to get stoked.

You all know this event started right here in Vancouver, and though it looked like a good time at Bear, will definately be one not to miss in Vancouver.

To have an entry form for the Office Booyz contest sent to your office or to sponsor a prize category click here!

Whistler PartySnake Premiere Tonight!!!!!!!!!! / Order instructions 2/ Win a Burger T



If you missed the Vancouver PartySnake premiere do yourself a favor and don't miss the one Tonight in Whistler. We're warming up at Tapleys and heading over to Buffalo Bills for the premiere. Get there early and you might even get a PartySnake T.



Oh and if you want a "woke up starving" T-shirt email Dave. The order cut off is the morning of December 15th so we can have them done in time for Christmas. Who wouldn't want to find one under the tree? Tell all your burger loving friends about it. I'm sure they would. If you don't have the money just send in a photo of yourself pigging out on burgers for your chance to win one. We'll post the top 3 shots in the blog and let the public choose who's most worthy of winning a "woke up starving" T-shirt. Send photos here.

Dev's fresh back from a little trip to California where he did a interview for Fuel TV as well as an infomercial for DC. Now I have him doing a Pro Tips for SBC. Busy man. I'll hit ya with links once they're available for viewing.



The Updown site is up and full of fun content to explore. Look for a copy of the latest issue of Updown at a store near you.



Oh and we have a PartySnake premiere tonight in Kelowna. Its an Island Snow / Jager / PartySnake deal but I can't seem to be able to find the flyer for it with all the info. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out, there can't be anything better going on in Ktown on Thursday night.

Christmas countdown:
Christmas is only 21 days away!

Another Catalog shoot / Another Slide Show



Dice K and Kenta came by the office yesterday to kick off our 09/10 catalog shoot. I actually just stole the photo above from Dice K's blog where you can read all about it in his Dec 1st post.



I've been trying to free up some room on my computer the last couple days and have been finding tons of gems. The photo above is from our TWO DEADLY TOUR a couple years back.

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.

Last week I did a "Help a blogger out" post where we directed traffic to the VancouverSlop blog to see if we could help Matt generate some cash for his blog. Here's the email he sent regarding the results:



"As per my google analytics 36 people visited my site from yours. Ads were clicked 32 times. There is no way to know for sure if all the clicks were from the furious blog but I feel very comfortable saying that the 32 ad clicks were mostly because of you. This resulted in $12.82 cents for me. Looks like I owe you a beer."
Well looks like you guys helped two bloggers out, thanks! Actually three bloggers, the "help a blogger out" post has also inspired JuniorBurger to add ads to his blog. I'll keep updated on his progress.



JB has promised to spend every cent he makes from his blog on beer and chicken wings so help a brother out!

Is that Dev shredding in shades?



Midlife crises??

Oh and last but not least this is my 200th post since I've been using blogger. No biggie! I probably have triple that under my blog belt, considering I've been doing the furious blog since Dec. 14th 2004.



My first blog ever was on the DVS site while I was the snow team manager over there and probably dates back to 2002-03. Wow, that seems like forever ago. Anyway you can check out some pre blogger classics in the furious blog archives. Lots of Zeddy, lots of Kale and lots of bad photoshop! For some reason I can't link you directly so you'll have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the blog on the IS Eyewear site.
Have fun..

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!

Holy crap.. Did you see that Party Snake teaser yet? If so there's really only been two responses. 1. You loved it and can't wait to see more or 2. You hated it and wish it would die. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground on this on. Check out some of the comments I found on the Gnarcore site.

I'm still waiting on a revised teaser before I post it directly in the furious blog but you can check the rough version out on the Gnarcore site or find it on FB. There's some pretty funny comments there too:

Hey a bunch of my photos are up on the TWS site. No biggie.. Here's a little sampler incase you don't feel like clicking on the link to below.



This shot here is pretty bad ass. Its probably the best image of mountain peeks ever captured. The funny thing is I actually didn't even slow down the sled to get it, I just shot it over my shoulder. I'm getting pretty good at framing stuff without thinking these days..



I'm the only photographer Dev will even consider shooting with these days. We have this unspoken trust thing going on between us thats real difficult to put into words. We just vibe off each other and make magic like the shot above. Nuff said.



Its real close because we're both super talented but I'd have to say my photos style is actually better then Dev's riding style in this particular photo. The thing with photography most people don't really understand is that you gotta play for keeps.

Click here to see the rest of my shots.

Tadashi's uncle's sponsor me vid. Wow, his on some next level video game type moves..



Not bad for 50..

Twin ninja babies? New 2008/09 ad campaign.. Church party scene!



According to my Japanese news source the best ninja snowboarder in the world is having twins! Two babies! Dam, is there anything Tadashi isn't good at.



Our 08/09 ad campaign has hit the news stands. Yep we're hitting hard this season with spreads in Snowboarder, no biggie.. Keep posted for Dev's ad in the October issue which should be out any day now.

Extreme Party Team / Warehouse Goodies /



IS Eyewear is putting together an extreme party team. Jake's cousin "Ronnie" just won the team captain position. If you think you have what it takes send in photos, videos or stories to info@iseyewear.com



We're in the middle of moving our warehouse right now and have been stumbling across tons of amazing stuff from way back. Yesterday we found a huge box of "Mack Dawgs Technical Difficulties", The Gathering, Wildcats Nine lives and Little Bastard on VHS. For anyone who places online orders this month we'll throw in some "warehouse goodies" if you mention it in your order. You never know what you might end up with!

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??".

News and stuff: 4 out of 5 ain't bad..
By: ISDesign


Admit it, four blog posts in five days is decent..


I've heard you should learn something new everyday. Yesterday I learned what type of girls Zeddy's into for like two hours and that the Japanese pronounce binding "Bing Ding Ga". Does that count??

Here's a couple shots from a recent trip to Whistler with Zeddy and Goto Son. Just so you know, we killed it.



Two different dudes. Two different backgrounds. Two different ways of taking care of business.



I was too busy getting air to get any action shots so here's some filler from the ride home.




That gap in the rock where you can see sky wasn't there last time I drove up to Whistler. Its construction crunch time so they're blasting the shi*t out of the Sea to Sky HWY to get it done for the 2010 Olympics.







I'm not sure who's grumpier in this photo, Zeddy or Jack..
I'd say its a tie.


I saw this awhile ago but didn't get around to putting it on the blog.




Ian sent this in for the blog yesterday. All I have to say is WOW!



Our SoCal rep and good friend Seumas sent this to us yesterday as well with the subject heading "when did the Gav and Trav have a kid?"



He then followed it up with



Oh youtube..
