The New Kid in Town Prospect as an up and coming board company is getting tons of leverage from people and industry publications because of our "by snowboarders for snowboarders" core culture. Coverage on Snowboard-review.com, by the SoCal Skate/Snow crew Concreteownage.com, and abc-of-snowboarding.com shows our company is winning the favor of core industry players. Among the the best programs going in snowboarding is Prospect's Design Co-op which lets snowboarders and businesses design their own custom boards. Our Co-op gives designers real access to getting their designs published without paying a fortune for an individual custom board. So far, the Co-op has made custom boards for Honey Goat Brewery and Adrenaline Power Sports for the 09/10 season.

Prospect's board construction is also a constantly evolving machine to assure our boards take the beating you dish. Our 2 year warranty proves there is no doubt about the quality of our boards, but innovation with rubber dampening, bamboo sidewalls, seamless edges, and re-engineered carbon placements gives Prospect decks a super smooth ride and consistent flex. Also, our "Tangent tech" reverse camber snowboard is an amazing park and powder deck. The real secret; our convex base. If you want a base that rides super smooth in the powder and doesn't catch on rails in the park you'll never be disappointed. If tech isn't your concern, our "Vitality" line carries the best of both worlds: Built for lighter riders and urban riding the Vitality line yells fun. Other projects coming out of the Prospect development lab demonstrate our values for hand crafted goods. Our newest Project, screen printed Logo T-shirts are made by hand will killer comfortable shirts and no 2 are exactly the same. And last, but no least, our newest product, Prospect Graphite Snowboard Wax makes you board lightning fast in all conditions. It works by conducting electricity to minimize friction with the surface of the snow. Absolutely genius and made with environmentally friendly ingredients.

So here is our newest announcement the 2009 Prospect "Tweaked Trick Competition"; Winners walk away with a Prospect Grab bag and an Interview with Prospect. Here is what you need to do; send us a short vid of your favorite trick tweaked out and oozing with rad style. Whether throwing a double cork, a Backside Boardslide, or a 180, it matters less than how insanely steezy you can make it look.

well...im currently listening to music that reminds me of years ago.. the good years...and what other awesome music joseph has on his computer.. i got a phone call today from brittany, (she's off in cincinnati) and she proceeds to tell me that Brighton has indeed spoken his first word... da da......also known as daddy, that was the greatest feeling in the world, but what was even greater, was when i heard it for myself. that is such an indiscribable feeling.  well.. thats my update for awhile.  thought id share.

 

 

johnbo

so i am now married.

 

met my significant other from this site in fact.

 

joined this site just to track down a picture that a friend had of me.  little did i know that a snowboarding site would turn into a matchmaking site.  guess i shouldn't be too surprised as all it did was bring people together who had some similar interests.

 

anywho, kendrat and i *met* on here and began chatting.  we realized we had more than just snowboarding as a common interest.  our backgrounds were similar, many of our views were alike and our hobbies and pastimes were similar enough to allow great conversations.  after finally meeting in person at whistler, we hit it off and now, here we are.  just back from our honeymoon and lucky for me, 4 days worth of sitting in a car with me and a week sharing a condo hasn't changed how we feel about each other.

 

to those of you who have shared all the fun times with us over the last 5 years, thanks.  you are all awesome!  hopefully there will be many more memories made!

 

thought i'd include a few favourite photos from the wedding....

 

 my new sister known as westcoastfvckup on here and oddity. eryn decided to see if the water in lake ontario really was as dirty as she had heard.

 

  i'm pretty.  i have flowers to prove it.

 

my beautiful bride's dress... very kendra.... and somehow made her look even more beautiful. 

 

 

 

 

 

Contest ends May 7^th, 2009.

 

 

P.S. You have a really good chance of winning because the contest is only for the next 30 people!

 

   After lunch we zipped over to 7^th Heaven to session the trees there. It was waist deep and untouched in places! I had such a great day laughing and shouting the whole time with good friends. There’s nowhere I’d rather be than a powdery tree run on Blackcomb!

Keep on shredding! -Alex

 I just went last week to colorado and it was amazing.  I was staying in Breckenridge.  Unfortunately, they didn't really get any snow while I was there.  It  was a bit icy.

 

But while I was there, Vail got 10 inches to a foot.  It was amazing when I went to Vail the day they got snow.  There were spots when I got stuck in snow up to my thighs.  The back bowls were actually nice, which usually isn't possible during the spring.

 

I'm glad I don't have spring break this week.  All the Colorado schools are off this week and I bet the mountain is busy... Or not because it is suppose to ran all week.  Anywho, I wish I got to go snowboarding one more time this season.

JumpCamp Jam (one day) March 19

The first JumpCamp session was awesome! The conditions were wicked with all the new snow we've gotten on the Island in the last month. The season's have switched here this year; we had spring in the winter and now we're having winter in the spring. Man, it's total global weirding.... We had a gorgeous day on Saturday and all the campers loved the new park design. Sunday was a little soggy but that didn't slow anyone down and everyone really progressed their shred skills over the weekend. Thanks to all the coaches for their hard work and all of our killer sponsors for all the prizes!


Coaches Corner: Senor Brown, Cobra Commander and Captain Hatesalot.


Coach Myles getting all inverted.


Campers getting the bro assisted tow ins.

JumpCamp Exclusive:
Very rare photo of Coach Olaf Larsen skiing in a one piece suit. Even back when he was a two-planker wanker he had some serious style. Look at the outfits in this pick! Hahahaha.......  Actually they're not much different than the crazy outfits nowadays.


Hahahahaha........ man.

New JumpCamp whip! Yes folks, it's true. JumpCamp has gotten rid of the hoopty and picked up a nice new truck. Thanks to everyone at Brian McLean Chevrolet in Courtenay for everything. Go in and buy a vehicle and tell them JumpCamp sent you.

So next time you see me... holla like ya' know me!

not much to tell there's a new guilluame and matts tale episode out and it is awesome.

One thing i've noticed about vancouver is the graffiti, or more importantly, lack thereof. Melbourne is awash with it, some of it really good, some if it shi*t. But i love being able to walk down an alley way with some crazy stencils, awesome murals, then finding shops with some one off t's.

 

anyway, check out the link, crazy graffer.

So its Halloween night, and me and my bro Marc are heading up 2 Fairview to go party with our bud Brandon who's doing his Power Engineering at the NAIT campus there. As we where told by our invitee, we need costumes, I was going as Ron Burgundy from Anchorman, Marc was a lumberjack. Brandon was Jail-bait. LoL! SO we get to the On-campus town-house brandon is staying in with his roomies, and the party is in full swing! Brandon is already down a 26 and awesomely drunk. So me and Marc get into character and we head 2 the bar, and easy 10 minute walk from Brandons. So we get 2 the bar and start partying. Me a brandon hit a shot set-up of Tequila and Fire-ball, Brandon walks 2 the bathroom, pukes, and continues 2 party, what a trooper! So the party keeps going till closing time. And all three of us, $100 bucks each poorer and really drunk/danced out. Tried 2 make our way home. (This is where it gets super fuzzy. We three peiced the rest of the night together with what we could remember, and this is what we got.) So we start walking... we get 2 the campus, somewhere in the agriculture area. All of a suppen Marc wants 2 fight due to some guy back home who was say shi*t about his girlfriend. (Chris Gullet, nobody likes this guy. I even want 2 kick his ass.) So brandon says 2 him, that he'll fight him. So they hop some fences and start fighting by the riding sable and cattle pens. Me not seeing this go on or where they went, keep walking and yelling for the 2 of them wondering where the hell they are. So I yell and stumble till I hit a slight incline, and me being drunk fell right into a ditch, face first, full of water. So I am soaking wet, I get out but in the process I lose a shoe. I don't care I just keep on walking till all of a sudden a vehicle comes from behind. Its campus security! The lady inside askes "Are you ok?" I say. "Not Really" She says, "Wanna lift?" and I say, "Yes Please" I get in the back and b4 I know it. I'm right in front of the town house and I didn't even know how 2 get there! lol! SO I go inside and pass out on the coach. Mean while back 2 Marc and Brandon. They're fighting like crazy drunks. Till they stop. Marc it still pist and is kicking and punching shi*t. Meanwhile brandon takes off home ready for bed, losing a shoe also somewhere along the way. Marc is now alone, and is also lost. He calls brandons cell, doesn't pick-up. He calls my cell but I fell in the ditch thus f*cking my phone right up 2 the point that it doesn't work. So he calls his girlfriend in falher which is so worried that she wants 2 drive an hour and a half in the early morning 2 come and find him. LoL! He told her not 2 be silly. and he said he'd find his way eventually. So he gets to the town houses, goes in, up the stairs, opens the door to what he thought was Brandon's room. But he notices that the guy sleeping in Brandons room is not Brandon. Further more its not brandon's room. Its not even his townhouse! Marc went into the wrong house! Than he notices that there is a dog, and it starts barking so Marc gets out of the townhouse without the guy waking up! Lucky! And eventually finds his way 2 the right place. With me on the couch and marc in Brandons bed. Brandon decides 2 sleep on the arm chair. I wake up for a moment to see him in a U shape, from arm to arm. Awesome! But when awake in the morning he is laid out on the kitchen floor. Than I notice under my blanket, I am buck naked! I don't even remember taking them off! So we relive our night laugh about it. Than head out 2 KFC, than watch some women's volley-ball and than go looking for our lost items. The only thing 2 turn up is Marc's Rome Lumberjack Toque. But what an awesome drunk time. Well worth the hundred bucks, the lost shoe, and the broken cell phone. Good times with good friends is never a bad thing, no matter what kind of trouble you get into! LoL!

 

   Take Off, eh?

I got my tickets to Colorado for Christmas week.  It is going to be AWESOME.  I called my Bro, and he said they are opening this week.  I can't wait for the season to get rolling.  Hopefully when I get home from China, there will be snow in New York and the local hills will be rollin'

 

This brings me to my beliefs on global warming.  Hey its gunna happen.  History has proven that, which also means another ice age will eventually happen ( :)  all those future snowboard junkies should be wet at the thought of that).  I totally believe tho, that everyone is f*cking up my snowboarding privelages in NORTH DAKOTA. we dont have mountains. we have hills. thats good enough. 

Now this is my life. And each year, snowboarding comes later and later.  It's actually started to piss me off and make me antsy and makes me wanna move somewhere where there is snow. and mountains. constantly...

So lets not try and accelerate global warming. please. i need my snow. and cold.

DUH SO I CAN f*ckIN SNOWBOARD!
