Norquay Railjam

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

This past weekend Clyde sponsored the first ASA railjam of the season at Mt. Norquay in Banff. About 80 kids showed up from all over Alberta and rocked it plain and simple. See you all December 12th at COP for the next stop on the tour.Contest1

CustomGraphics

I’ve been getting visits, calls, and emails about when the deadline would be to order a custom graphic board as a Christmas present. I thought I should address it since the deadline is this week….in other words, if you 100% need the board before Christmas, you have to get in your order in the next few days. Pricing starts at $595 and goes up to $695 with the performance upgrade. Fire me an email for a design template and additional details: info (at) clydesnowboards.com

Check out this castle

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Leo Dicaprio is in Kananaskis shooting scenes for his new flick Inception by Christopher Nolan (of Dark Knight & Momento fame). They are filming in a Castle they built on top of the closed Fortress Ski area. Pretty sick. I hope they blow that shit up…..either that or leave it for someone to hit those rails or build a booter off that lower deck.

The Greasers are Coming!

Greasers

This season the Clyde & RBA teams will be shooting a series of webisodes for you guys to enjoy. Without me getting too much into explaining it, I’ll let Dwayne Wiebe walk you through it:

“After the explosion of internet video and the absence of sponsor money…. RBA (Red Baron Apparel) and Clyde Snowboards have decided to take things into our own hands. We are proud to present The Greasers: a team video from two all-Canadian companies that will be a free download for everyone to enjoy. Along with the movie that will be released next fall, we’ll be posting webisodes all season showing almost every thing that goes down throughout the winter: Making and designing snowboards and outerwear, the good and bad parts of filming, parties, contests… pretty much anything you can think of. We’ll also be posting product contests and upcoming events so you can be there for all of the mayhem that is sure to go down!

Riding in the flick are a handful of well-known Canadian greasers, including Ryan Hall, Craig Bowl-u, Kael Hill, Dwayne Wiebe, Donn Hore, Nic “Molotov” Brunette, and Todd Williamson, as well as a group of up-and-coming senders that haven’t quite had the chance to be involved in a large scale project; Matt Butel, Eric Lauzon, Greg Almond, Mike Dunlop, and the one and only Loosh. The Greasers will be all over the continent filming for our movie and will also be filming anyone kickin’ it along the way, giving all you shreds out there a chance to get involved in the project. We’ll also be posting blogs through the winter at both clydesnowboards.com and redbaronapparel.com. Peep the posts and products. And get stoked… because it has already begun! Stay tuned for episode one, coming ASAP!”

Miniramp’in

Eric Lauzon and Dwayne Wiebe built one heck of a miniramp in Calgary the other day. I managed to show-up once they had ridden themselves to exhaustion. Our good friend Jonathan Groeneweg snapped this shot of Dwayne…not baaaad
