2 BIG bits of news!!!!
 
1/ I'm now self-employed running my own mobile phone shop. Doing ok at the moment but only been a month so far so too early to tell. At least I hit my break-even point 2 days ago (10 days before end of month) and, yes, that does include paying myself!
 
2/ I'M GOING TO BE A DAD!!!!!!!!! Bex is due in 4 weeks time! Its a little boy (no name decided yet) and we're both really looking forward to it! Bump seems to be growing daily and its weird feeling him kicking! Nursery is all done - we completely re-did one room, carpets and all!
 
I have yeat another new car. A 98 'S' Nissan 200sx (not standard - not even close!) Tremendous fun to drive and, with a little under 300bhp, quicker than most things out there!
 
Will try to get on a bit more often...

Silver, Bronze, Gold, youngbrownwalsh and a fishburger.



IS Team Rider BRad Martin sent me this photo of himself on the podium with a Silver Medal around his neck at the recent world cup event held at Stoneham. Yeah Brad!




New IS team rider Janelle Pritchard (No relation to "Dean Pritchard" from the movie Oldschool) got some podium action of her own up at Whistler this weekend receiving Bronze at the Showdown. Good work Janelle! Don't blow all that loot on some fancy radio.

Hey Dave found the gold. Follow this link to a low res version of the YoungBrownWalsh vid he found on our other bud Dave's site.



Call with Kale: Kale gave me a call Sunday afternoon to share his excitement about trying out the new fishburger at Wendy's. He was like "they're using the good fish now, some delicious Alaska code or something". Then he let me go so he could place his order. I decided to call him back Today to see if the fishburgers lived up to the hype. Kale ensured me that they did and stated the new fish burgers at Wendy's actually tasted like some delicious type of fish burger you'd find at a high end fish and chips spot. I felt good about the conversation and let him go.

OK so heres the thing, YES I'm Girl but you know what I'm lookin for guy riders cause any girl that ive ridden with sux and cant keep up I even had a  guy
buddy that wouldnt do do parks with me or black runs on fresh powed days.

Ive seen lots of regulars at the quicksliver park so if your one of them let me know, im always hiking the park.

Just  to let you boys know im super easy to get along with and got one of those crazy outgoing personalities that lots of girls dont have  (not trying to knock anyone just saying i hate drama queens). Im always the chick that goes out with guys on a guys night out type a thing ( i dont know how it ends up that way, being a tomboy or somethin i guess)

Aight seeing that this year is starting off slow (hasnt even started yet) Im gettin real frustrated and POed. If Grouse would just open Id been shredding it till rock bottom.

Id love to upload pics for you all but the upload mobile here dont work at all so i cant even post up mugshots.

for now facebook will have to do


 Im hooking up with different rider this year. Really into gettin some good quality footage , both photo  and video ( I actually have a proper video camera) I have some Creative works  im planning and  will post them on Youtube when there done.

As much as id love to take it up to whistler i cant afford it. so local mountains  will have to do.

im out in burnaby so if your a local rider lets jam.

My end note here is this. Im all about the love and progression of the sport. No dissin or commercial, or selfish shi*t! keep the Positive Energy, Ride till it hurts and then turn it up anothernotch cuz thats what makes it worth it.

Jess (J girl)

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.

My Journal: I'm still alive!!!
By: teggers


In my usual way of being really bad at updating things, I thought I'd just post a little note up here to let all you good people know I'm still about!
 
Still snowboarding too - Off again in January for a couple of weeks hopefully. Unfortunately my seasonaire days appear to be over but I really wish I could do a few more but its just not financially viable now :(
 
In other news, I'm still manager of a mobile phone shop, bought another new car (another Nissan 200sx) and still with Bex (4 1/2 years now!)
 
I will try to remember to check on here more often so drop me a message! Or email me on teggersmsn@hotmail.co.uk
 
Have fun everyone!

By: TTR Press Office

Falls Creek, Australia – August 19th, 2008: The 08/09 season of the Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour is charging at full steam down under and the anticipation is rising for the first 4Star event on the Tour, theOakley Stylewars 2008. Taking place August 24th - 28th 2008 in Falls Creek, Australia, the 4-day lifestyle Slopestyle event, complete with intense snowboarding, parties and live music, is looking to be the highlight of the Southern Hemisphere. 

With 500 Swatch TTR ranking points in the mix along with a $15 000 USD prize purse, Stylewars is sure to carry the competitive momentum set just recently at the 5Star Burton New Zealand Open and 3Star Billabong Snow Stock. Last season, Norwegian rider Torstein Horgmo blew apart the Falls Creek scene, and this year he’s back to claim it all again. But a hefty challenge Horgmo is sure to meet, as this year’s event is full to the brim with over 40 talented riders set to destroy the 3 – Kicker course.

Expect freestyle entrepreneur Travis Rice (USA) to make things spicy as current TTR World No. 2 Chas Guldemond (USA) attempts to get back the Tour Lead which was taken from him last week at the 3Star Billabong Snowstock by James Hamilton (NZE) Swatch TTR No. 4 Janne Korpi (FIN), TTR No. 13 Mikkel Bang (NOR), TTR No. 21 Sebastien Toutant (CAN), and TTR No. 40 Antti Autti (FIN) are sure to keep it interesting alongside a sick south-hemi contingent that includes the likes of TTR No. 26 Jake Koia (NZE) and Australian snowboarders Robbie Walker and Ryan Tiene.

Current leader of the Swatch TTR women’s ranking, Jamie Anderson (USA), will also take part in the men’s competition. Although there are no women’s points available at Stylewars simply due to the large scale of the competition features, she will show case her talent together with the guys. We are excited to see how the top female on the Tour will do.

Riders will be greeted with a relaxed, shred-friendly atmosphere, but even more exciting is the private, contest-purpose built Slopestyle course, already beefed up due to an excellent snow season thus far and set to exceed last year’s set up with increased quality and flow.

Also coming up soon on the Swatch TTR Tour is the 3Star Boost Mobile Sno Sho presented by Samsung, a one-night, under-the-lights, Big Air and Rail Showdown. Taking place August 29th to 30th at Perisher Blue, Australia, the event boasts a $30 000 USD prize purse and the longest rail seen in competition that is sure to spark some creative hits. Perisher Blue will also host the 5Star Burton Australian Open, starting off on September 1st.

For more information on the Swatch TTR 4Star Stylewars and the 3Star Sno Sho, along with inspiring videos, blogs, and ranking stats, head on over to www.ttrworldtour.com and keep yourself up to date.

so during the winter i went up to the cottage and had a blast! took the snowboards up, and i went snowboarding being pulled behind the snow mobile holding onto a ski rope, so much fun, part of the way the lake freezes even gives you some small jumps!

also built a cool rail going off the back porch, something fun to spice up the weekend!  missing the snow now, but loving the shorts, t-shirts and bathing suit weather! bring on the sun!

it's just too bad I am always working i am still very very white, and wanting to be tanned!

Young, Willing, & Eager and Bidwhack are giving you the chance to walk away with a brand new snowboard for less than you paid for that mocha your sipping! All you need is a mobile phone and the change in your pocket. Bidwhack can do the rest.

 
 
Q. What is Bidwhack?
Bidwhack is the incredible new system that lets YOU WIN amazing auctions for almost nothing! How would you like to win a snowboard for a few bucks? What about a cool phone or some kick-ass swag for pennies?!? How would you like to know that you’re supporting worthwhile charities at the same time? Bidwhack takes old-fashioned auctions and turns them on their heads. Most people can’t participate in traditional auctions for the really cool stuff because the person who has the most money is the winner.
We’ve leveled the playing field! Now ANYONE can win!! All you need is the Lowest Unique Bid or LUB.

Q. What is a Lowest Unique Bid or LUB?
A. It’s simple! The LUB is the lowest bid that only one person guesses. For example, let’s say you bid $1.12. Someone else bids 0.25 cents. Ah, but a third person ALSO bids 0.25 cents.  That cancels out 0.25 cents as the lowest bid. Therefore, you are still the LUB with $1.12. By the time the auction closes, if no one else bids $1.12 OR lower than $1.12 with a unique number then you WIN because it’s the Lowest Bid that only one person entered! If you had bid $1.12 in that LUB auction for, let’s say, a brand new snowboard, then you would have won a new snowboard for $1.12!! Finally, auctions that anyone can WIN!!

Q. How does it work?
Bids can be made by using your cell phone to send a text message to 87878 ($1 per bid charged to your cell phone account. Important: If you use your phone to text in a bid that is less than a dollar, for example 23 cents, then you must put a zero at the front like this, “0.23”.) You can also bid by mailing a hand-written bid to the BidWhack corporate address (must include current date, auction name, bid amount, a return address and a functioning email address). Bidwhack will let you know where your bid is at (Low, High or LUB) for the length of the auction to give you a chance to respond. Winners are notified by phone and/or email and all prizes are FOB Toronto, (meaning that you have to pick them up here, or let us know if you’d like us to ship them.)
 

Young, Willing, & Eager (YWE)

So, what’s it like to be a pro snowboarder? The new mobile/web/tv series - Young, Willing, & Eager takes you inside the lives of riders Johnny Lyall & Logan Short. These young guns hop from photo shoots, to contests, to boxing rings, and even take in some time at the gun range! Follow them as they get up to no good both on and off the mountain livin’ the dream. This is the untold story. This, is Young, Willing, & Eager.

Wanna see all the craziness that is Young, Willing, & Eager? Just click *here* to download the show to your desktop, laptop, iPod, Apple TV, Sony PSP, and lots of other devices. Got an iPhone?  Click *here* and you’re all set to make YWE your iPhone’s latest feature! Watch it anytime, anywhere, any way you want.
