Adam’s Apples #2 Take a bite of snowboarding knowledge.

Hey, I’m Adam Bowcutt Welcome to this week’s tasty round-up of snowboarding blog posts, articles and forum topics from around the world.

Back Lips with Bjorn Leines:

Rome Snowboards has a great approach to their brand ideals, riders and ways of interacting with snowboarders. The idea of the SDS (Snowboard Design Syndicate) advocates that pro riders, shop riders and everyday snowboarders can collectively help to shape the culture of snowboarding. Bjorn Leines, one of Rome’s most established pros shares his knowledge with the syndicate, hence this trick tip. Back Lips are a pretty technical trick that look super smooth.

Tim Pierce Showreel:

The action sports genre with regards to creative cinematography are brought to viewers by the athletes, but also the people behind the lens. Kiwi cinematographer Tim Pierce runs NZ production company Zeros & Ones. The 2009 southern hemisphere winter produced some epic footage. Not only did Pierce capture some beautiful New Zealand backdrops, he also documented the first double-corks in halfpipe competition at the Burton NZ Open. Shaun White, Louie Vito and Luke Mitrani stomp these progressive tricks. White wins with a back-to-back double cork (1 min 20 seconds into the showreel)

IS Eyewear Movie: PartySnake:

Snowboarding and partying often go together like peas and carrots. After a fun shred session with your friends, there’s nothing more satisfying than enjoying a touch of apres drinking at the resort town bar. This film by IS Eyewear relates to anyone who has uttered the following words: “I’m never drinking again” after one of these nights end up going big.

This teaser contains some pretty good snowboarding mixed with some debauchery:

I Am Snowboarding Art Show:

Snowboarding sometimes produces some talented individuals. One of these people was the insanely gifted snowboarder Jeff Anderson, a previous Burton Pro rider who tragically lost his life at a young age. I Am Snowboarding is a collaborative art project to honour his life. It serves as a reminder that life is precious. Do what makes you and others happy.
