New 2011 Line Skis Just Arrived! | Check out Line’s 2011 Skis!
Yet another massive shipment of brand new skis has arrived at our warehouse. Line’s 2011 collection is here, which means you can finally punch-dance your anxiety away!
You already know Line kills it, from their skis to their athletes to their tall tees and hoodies. Well, their skis just got fatter, their tees taller and their hoodies huger. And rumor has it Line athlete and evo team rider Eric Pollard just got cooler… if that’s even possible. We know you’re as anxious as perpetual first chair guy when it comes to what’s new this season from Line Skis. Don’t soil your shorts. Find out here.
- Powder Prophecies: The Prophet series is looking fresh for 2011. The Prophet 130 is now just called The 130* and no longer has any metal in it, and the Prophet 115 is a brand new model for 2011. We foresee many sick days…
- New Dimensions, New Materials: The Celebrity now comes in two widths - the Celebrity 100 features a 100mm waist with metal core and the Celebrity 90 features a 90mm waist without metal. The Stepup is hot, with skate deck construction. And the Sir Francis Bacon is rockered. Yeah… nbd.
- Short Bus: Eric Pollard doesn’t have a kid, but if he did he’d have him on the new EP Pro Shorty, Line’s new fat, rockered ski for youth. Even the little fellas shred better with rocker! And if your kid’s bases see more metal and icy pipe walls than powder, check out the Afterbang Shorty*. Skate deck construction and modest dimensions promise performance in the park.
Need style? Don’t fret - tees and hoodies will be online soon. And if all that still isn’t enough for you, live vicariously through Andy Parry and Will Wesson as they document skiing at its core. Watch Season Two of their Traveling Circus, then shop Line at evo and get yourself setup for snow!
* Sorry, not available online yet. Hang in there - it’s coming soon!
PS: If you haven’t already seen it, check out Lines signature “I am a skier” Tee…

As you may have noticed by now (unless you don’t normally read our blog or get our email) next season’s brand new gear is hitting the site faster than the snow on our polar ice caps is melting. Ride Snowboards are the latest to hit the streets.
I don’t smoke, but once I tried to cure my coffee addiction by chewing Nicorette instead. Yes, I developed an addiction to a cure for something I was never addicted to. So I figured I’d start smoking to counteract my Nicorette addiction. Just kidding, I don’t smoke. The point is that withdrawal gets messy and it’s no fun for anyone. Embrace your snowboard addiction! Ride’s 2011 line offers an endless supply of boards, boots and bindings for your pleasure, whether you’re looking for hardcore stuff or are just a recreational user. Get into it here.
- LSD: Ladies Specific Design. Ride recognizes, in the words of Jay-Z, that “ladies is pimps too”. Their new rocker, waist and flex patterns are designed specifically for women. Load up on women’s gear early!
- Hemp Brain: For 2011 Ride has created boards that are lighter and stronger by eliminating top sheep plastic, so you’re left only with what’s pure and don’t have to deal with uneccessary chemicals.
- New progressive design: Rocker shapes and cambers paired with a variety of flex patterns and sidecuts. Especially edgy are the Machete and Highlife. Also be sure to check out the Contraband bindings. They’re Ride’s quick and easy solution for those who just can’t wait.
Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean you should repress your need for riding. Get hooked up and keep the love alive!

Burton = Super Brand
Be First to Shop 2011 Burton Snowboards, Packs, Travel Bags and Gloves Now!
We keep thinking Burton snowboards can’t get any better and one of these years they’re just not going to be able to come up with anything new and awesome and powerful, but they keep proving us wrong. They’re like the Wizard of Oz of the snowboard industry. Only much more fun. And not old and ornery. And without all the smoke and fake booming voice. Actually Burton is not at all like the Wizard of Oz, but they are really, really big and they bring an abundance of brains, courage and heart to the snowboard industry each year. So maybe they’re more like Captain Planet… without the pet monkey. Uh… Maybe we should just let the new 2011 snowboard line speak for itself…
-Tech: Burton has improved upon their Channel system with the new Channel M6 board-binding connection. Your connection will be tighter than our accountant’s jeans. Check out the Sherlock, one of the many 2011 boards featuring M6. And rocker is still rad! The Custom Flying V is especially rocky and peppy and . It’s never a dull moment with this one. And not in a bad way, like when that girl you took to Six Flags in junior high set the cotton candy stand on fire.
-Style: Always one step ahead of the game, Burton comes up with some of the best colorways and styles in outerwear. For 2011, we’re huge fans of the Restricted Line. Stay tuned - this stuff will be online soon, and when it is it’ll go quick!
-Value: Who doesn’t want a Custom X? If you don’t, you will now. This year you’ll pay $80 less than last year for one of the hottest boards out there. In fact, you’ll pay 10% less across the board for 2011 Burton gear than you did for 2010. Don’t forget to write your thank you notes.
As you can see, Burton’s powers combined bring you the most progressive and advanced gear for the 2011 season. And the new snowboards are just the tip of the iceberg. Hundreds of packs, travel bags and snowboard bags landed as well as loads of Burton Men’s and on Burton at evo!

Forum Snowboards is pleased to announce the Destroyer ChillyDog, Youngblood ChillyDog and Women’s Sauce have earned Good Wood from Transworld Snowboarding in their respective Park board categories for the 2011 winter season.
Taking top honors in Over $400 Park boards (and it’s only $429!) for the second year in a row, the Destroyer ChillyDog is built for all-out destruction. Forum’s new ChillyDog with Pop has the stability, predictability, and forgiving feel of continuous rocker, but with added Pop zones that help load up the nose and tail for even more ollie power. Ollie pop is further amplified by Booter Boosters to ensure you clear every gap, every time.
Representing the crew that continually pushes what can be done on a snowboard, this year’s Youngblood ChillyDog wins Good Wood in the Under $399 Park category (also for the second year in a row), and proves once again why it’s a mainstay in the Forum line. ChillyDog with Pop brings continuous rocker fun with the ollie pop that riders need. Youngblood Alek Oestreng says, “The Youngblood ChillyDog is a perfect park board. It’s soft, but still stable and super poppy. It’s a good combo that makes it good for everything from the smallest jibs to big kickers.”
Rounding out the stoke, The Sauce featuring Women’s ChillyDog secures the Good Wood seal of approval for Women’s Under $399 Park boards. Providing a fun, catch-free ride, this continuous rocker is built specifically for women’s bodies by featuring a slightly lower rocker height and a softer core profile between the feet.
For more on these Good Wood winning boards along with the rest of Forum’s 2011 freestyle line-up, go to www.forumsnowboards.com.
