Happy Friday!  It is finally the weekend! Wooooohooooo!

Here is what the Flux is up…..

Jaeger Bailey got 1st place and a trip to Europe at the Nike Chosen event in Mammoth, CA.   The set up was wild and involved a 60 foot jump and a rail garden with down bars, tubes, ¼ pipes, a wall ride, a closeout, a grizzly bear bonk and a UFO space ship slide.  Joking about the last ones… but it really was wild.  CLICK HERE for more details from Transworld.com and check out his sweet video! Mitch Richmond was also out there tearing up the setup.  Congratulations Jaeger!

Geoff is now filming with Voleurz.  Follow this link to see what Geoff is up to….  http://geoffbrownsnow.com/filming-for-voleurz/

Erik Leon isn’t bored. He boards.  And has fun doing it. Can’t you tell??  

Ian Sams, Erik Leon, and Scott Vine went to Japan to meet the Flux family overseas and shred some Japanese pow! Ian even got 100,000 yen for winning best jibber at the contest! Stay tuned for more photos and footage… coming soon.

Happy Presidents Day weekend! Did you know George Washington was credited for introducing the mule to America?  Donkey + Horse = Mule?! Genius. What a smart guy.  And for that that… we celebrate this weekend. Shred one up for Washington!

Spencer Link has been kicking it into high gear- starting at Mt. High last weekend when he won the Cholula Triple Air! That warmed him up for a third place win at the last spot in the Dew Tour—Snowbasin, UT!  Link earned his first Dew Tour podium with a 77.25— He pulled a backside nosepress on the up down, to a front 360 over, to backside 180 out on cannon rail.  On the jumps he landed a Cab double 9 to a backside double 10.  CLICK HERE TO SEE A VIDEO AND A FULL RECAP OF THE EVENT! Congratulations Spencer! Stoked for you!

Spencer got to try out his 2012-2013 Flux DS30s on Signal Snowboard’s first ever inflatable snowboard.  Check it out…. 

Geoff Brown sent it to Toronto to find snow.  Like many other places these days… Toronto had no snow.  But that didn’t stop him from getting some solid shots in. CLICK HERE for more photos and details on the trip! 

Ian Sams and Erik Leon are now riding for ‘Landing Headwear.’ Check out their video: 

Ian Sams and Scotty Vine went on a somewhat uncertain Journey. Their quest for snow got them some good shots in Arbor’s new edit. Check it out…..

Now, Ian, Erik and Scotty are shredding the Japanese powder! They went out to meet the Flux family in Japan and from what we have heard… they are really enjoying their time out there! Stay tuned for a video, more photos, and more updates on this adventure!

Happy Friday Flux Fanimals! We have had a wild week and are excited to share what the Flux has been going on…..

Congratulations to Eric Willett for getting 1st at the Dew Tour in Killington! Eric had no trouble with an untouchable first run of 91.0!  His run started with a frontside 270 onto the down rail, followed by a gap to front lip 270 out on the gap down and a front board to switch on the cannon. On the last three jumps, he laid out a switch back 10 double cork, a cab 900 double cork, and a frontside 1080 double cork. Lastly, Willett finished with a laid out blackflip to take the win!

Eric Willett got some ride time in at Sun Valley and is featured in Transworlds Park Sessions. CLICK HERE TO SEE IT! 

Eric Willett also got wild at the X-Games— taking 4th in Snowboard Big Air and 7th in Men’s Slopestyle.  Japanese Flux shredder Ryo Aono took the bronze in Men’s Superpipe.  Although he didn’t get the ‘perfect’ score against the White… he is riding some ‘perfect’ bindings.

Check out the 12/13 DMCC lights on the podium!
