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:

(Monday December 17th 2007) After much speculation and an industry-wide rumour mill, StepChild Snowboards is proud to announce the signing of JP Walker to the International Pro Team.

"JP's riding and dedication to snowboarding speaks for itself- not many snowboarders have remained at the top of their class for over ten years. We are absolutely thrilled to have him on the team. It's cool that we share the same values and beliefs as to what a snowboard company and team should be." - StepChild founder Sean Johnson.

" Where else would I end up? Come on, you know I keep it one-hunney! StepChild is one of the last true snowboard companies out there. I love that they value what a professional rider brings to the table. Rider owned and driven, others claim it but none live it, son!" - JP Walker.

There's no denying JP has had a huge impact on the sport of snowboarding over the past decade. Anyone who knows anything about snowboarding is familiar with JP's video parts. Over the years he set a new standard filming with MDP and for some of the biggest selling team videos of all time; he invented tricks and numerous first-ever-bangers caught on film. JP's riding and style has stayed relevant even in an era marked by the X-Games, reality shows, corporate takeovers and riders with fistfuls of energy drinks. No one has been able to continually raise the bar, and maintain a high level of integrity, style, innovation and technical tricks like JP has. Even after a season unexpectedly cut short, JP managed to have a solid presence in videos and magazines, including his Future cover, surprisingly JP's first North American cover shot of his career.

Walker's snowboarding career is the result of immense talent, hard work and dedication -attributes he will continue to bring to the game in the future. His priority is the progression of snowboarding, but it's also about the way he and his sport are portrayed to the public. Driven by the same ideals StepChild and JP are the perfect combination.

"Obviously StepChild is focused on snowboard videos and progression, two things that I've always been an advocate of. They have an amazing team of handrail slayers, and i'm stoked to be a part of it, been riding their boards on the down low this past week and i'm stoked. It's simply the best fit. One." - JP Walker.

Simon Chamberlain adds, "Growing up watching snowboard videos, JP Walker has always been my favourite snowboarder of all time. It truly is amazing to see him riding for Stepchild. Its like a dream come true, not only for me but for the whole company."

JP will have a Pro Model with StepChild in three sizes: 147, 151, and 154. The boards will be sold with a regular edge as well as a RETT (Round Edge Taper Tuning) option. The board has a dull round edge between the feet for jibbing, and tapers out to a regular edge by the time it reaches the contact points. "The boards are tuned at the factory exactly how I would tune them at home." adds JP.

JP is currently filming with Mack Dawg Productions for Double Decade, which will be released in August 2008. His current sponsor list includes: StepChild Snowboards, 32 and Etnies, Oakley, Nixon, Bear Mountain, Milosport and Molcasalsa. StepChild's International Pro Team now consists of JP Walker, Simon Chamberlain, Markku Koski, Stian Solberg and Fredu Sirvio. The International Am Team consists of Joe Sexton, Risto Ruokola, and Scotty Vine. Other notable supporters include Chris Wimbles, Brian McClatchy and E-Man amongst others.

About StepChild: StepChild is a snowboard company that specializes in camping stoves, fishing tackle, and tennis rackets. The StepChild team is currently training and testing sand boards in Egypt. Joe Sexton and Simon Chamberlain are currently pushing the envelope of progressive sandboarding in the Egyptian Parallel Slalom while Markku and Stian aren't having much luck in the Sandboard half pipe event. "The stupid camel just won't pull us to the top! He's going to need an energy drink sponsor" adds Markku.

Además de la doble vitoria de Mariano Lopez en el Reef Boradercross Catedral (06-07); en el clásico y característico Bikini Open, Alejandra Casco, una porteña de 25 años, se consagró Miss Reef 2007. La 12ª edición de la competencia de snowboard más importante de Sudamérica fue un verdadero deleite.


Auspiciada por Personal, el Reef Boardercross 2007 tuvo una gran convocatoria y completó todas las categorías del certamen. De esta manera, el público se pudo deleitar con velocidad, subidas y bajadas de tablas bien enceradas y cantos afilados. El evento, que contó con más de 300 participantes, repartió 8.000 pesos en premios, de los cuales 2.000 le correspondieron al ganador. Esta semana, Gravedad Zero (ESPN) mostrará la cobertura de este campeonato, entera.

Mariano López fue quien se impuso en la batería final –largadas de a cuatro competidores–, después de pelear junto a Juan Beveraggi, el seis veces campeón de estos clásicos e integrante del Team Reef. La misma curva, antes de la recta final, fue el punto clave para que López sacara ventaja de un Beveraggi que no pudo mantener la punta durante los inicios de la carrera (incluso en las clasificaciones). En el tercer lugar de los Hombres Profesionales quedó Saúl Muglia, y en el cuarto, Franco Ruffini.

Después de concretar una vuelta impensada, el campeón sumó otra conquista a la ya obtenida en la temporada pasada. "La verdad es que no lo puedo creer; hace unos meses me quebré la clavícula derecha y pensé que no llegaba.


Creo que la clave fue correr sin presión, ni de mí, ni de los que me conocen, ni siquiera de los sponsors, nada... Me divertí y así pude ser campeón", contó triunfante López.

A pesar de que, desde la aparición en escena de López desde el año pasado, Beveraggi no haya podido conquistar su séptimo título como campeón de este evento, tuvo palabras de felicitación para su amigo y contrincante: "Es un gran corredor; aunque fue una lástima por mi desempeño, me voy contento porque la pista estuvo increíble y terminó siendo una carrera hermosa para ver".


El Reef Catedral Boardercross se disputó con más de 300 participantes de Argentina, Suiza, España, Alemania, Estados Unidos y Brasil.


Resultados finales:

Profesionales Hombres

1) Mariano López
2) Juan Beveraggi
3) Saúl Muglia
4) Franco Ruffini

Profesionales Damas

1) Lucía Gheno
2) Lynn Neil
3) Daniela Carro
3) Jennifer Sambebber

Amateurs

1) Ignacio Maggi
2) Francisco Cueto
3) Marcos Taiano
4) Joseph O'Gorman

Juniors

1) Lucas Gómez
2) Nicolás Giménez
3) Maximiliano Gualtieri
4) Simon White

Kids

1) Iñaqui Odriozola
2) Frany Rodríguez Broach
3) Pedro Barbero
4) Lucas Fidanza


Alejandra, Miss Reef en el invierno barilochense


Alejandra Casco, una porteña de 25 años, se consagró como la Miss Reef
2007 en el torneo clásico del Cerro Catedral Reef Boardercross que finalizó este viernes en San Carlos de Bariloche.

El segundo puesto le correspondió a Sol Fernández y el tercero a Pamela Acuña. La elección fue realizada en el restaurante Punto Base.

Alejandra Casco –la campeona– estudia Nutrición en la UBA y tiene dos trabajos, es promotora y a la vez realiza la guardia concurrente en el sector de Nutrición del Hospital de Moreno. Le gusta estar con amigas y viajar. Abstenerse (gente de Moreno), porque ella tiene un novio y se llama Ezequiel.

CHILD SUPPORT" filming update May 22nd 2007

Last week we spent in the bush at camp Child Support. We filmed in the bush all week and people started to go a bit nuts but we got some good stuff of Risto, Sexton, Cartwright and Fredu.







Fredu and Risto then headed back to Finland for a well deserved fishing break. Simon and his brothers went back to Ontario to help dad put a new roof on the house and do some fishing too. Andre caught a fish that looks just like him. Poor Andre always catches the smallest fish.










Sollars and Wimbles are still going for it and Sexton has been getting into shooting photos as well. Sexton recently saw Shrek and turned himself into Shrexton.







Here is the wedge that took a few days to build and Simon is flexing beside it. Half of us are editing and the other half of us are still filming.



Ilari has been tanning and is looking for the woman of his dreams.. and California entrepreneur Chris Edmands is starting his own snowboard sock company called Wack Socks Inc. You can find prototypes of Wack Socks outside of Edmands’ truck every morning.

"CHILD SUPPORT" Filming Update April 22nd, 2007


Here we are almost at the end of the season and still a lot more filming to do. Got some great days in the Whistler backcountry last week with Sollors, Simon and Wimbles. Ilari is itching to get out there so he bought himself a brand spanking new sled. (see above)






We are now down in Lake Tahoe filming some park and waiting for the sun. Half of the crew flew down and the other half drove. Risto and Fredu just arrived here last week as well. Fredu drives like a Gramma and Ilari needs to stay off the wake up drinks.









Traveling is really starting to take its toll on some of our riders - especially after eating all that road food. Here is a shot of Joe and Simon getting phat.

"CHILD SUPPORT" filming update April 9th 2007



Last roadtrip was a lot of fun although we had some injuries on the way. Torsti hurt his ankle pretty bad and is still on recovery.


Fredu rode straight into a rail and bruised his shin. He was walking with canes, but is riding again already.



Risto and Fredu scored some final tricks for their parts. Lapland was beautiful with nice weather. We returned to Helsinki for final days in Serena-ski resort, just riding for fun and having a good time gettin ready for the park tour.







Meanwhile back in the US of A...
Simon, Steve Cartwright, and Scotty Vine were all filming at Bear last week. Here are a few photos from their trip.
