FLUX FRIDAY!

Happy Friday!

One thing that makes winter seem a little closer is flipping though the numerous snowboard magazines that flood the mail.

The new Transworld Snowboard Magazine was hand delivered to our office yesterday.  Check out this photo of JP Solberg riding though a snow cave…woooowee! ! Winter is right around the corner!!

This issue features a section devoted to bindings that enhance your boarding.  The TT30 Flux/Ashbury collabo took a spot in the lineup as a top choice.

Stay posted on our facebook–we will be giving away these bindings with a pair of Ashbury goggles!

Our contest to win super limited, orange, DS30’s is underway! These bindings are the only pair like it in the whole United States of America. The only pair outside of Japan!  All you have to do to be entered to win is share the photo on our facebook!  CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS.

Van Delirium is the dankiest documentation of the day.  Watch this episode of the excellent Erik Leon, the steezy Scotty Vine, and the irie Ian Sams. :

June Bhongjan visited the Snowboardermag office to do a guestbook interview. She has been the gal behind peepshow and is ready to rock in her flat black GU15′s  this coming season. Go see what she has to say by CLICKING HERE.

Madison Blackley did a little bit of night riding with the early season snowfall…check it out! 

We have all heard about Chris Brewster’s part in ‘Ammo,’ but have you seen it? This guy gets down. You can tell he’s vibin from the handjams and dance-dance he throws in.   He was at the Downtown Throw Down in Portland last week and will be competing in San Francisco’s Downtown Throw Down next week! Good luck out there Chris!  Check out his full part here!

FLUX FRIDAY!

Feliz de Friday Flux Fans!  It is the last day of September and we are officially falling into Fall–the season between summer livin and winter wonderland– the season of waiting.  Autumn is the time to amp up, gear up, and start seriously thinking about snowboarding.

Flux riders Erik Leon and Ian Sams took a trip last season from Crestline, CA to Stevens Pass, WA and back— known only as Van Delirium.  It was wild…it was trippy…and I wouldn’t expect anything less from these guys.  They are awesome.  On the Van Delirium, they contemplated– ”Why do we snowboard? Why do we care why we snowboard? If we care about why we snowboard, then are we really focusing on what matters most? What does matter the most? Why wouldn’t we just go snowboarding for the sake of snowboarding?”

So, for the sake of snowboarding… this is episode 1 of their trip :

Didn’t we say these guys are awesome?  So awesome that Ian won $25,000 in the SME video contest that was announced at Hot Dawgs last weekend!!  A big congrats goes out to him– he will be livin cheesy this winter! Check out the video that got him the win by CLICKING HERE!

Besides winning more cash than the actual winners of the contest– Ian laid down some gnarly tricks at Hot Dawgs.  The weather was perfect, the set up was huge, and Flux riders were killing it.  If you didn’t make it, the event was very well documented.  Snowboarder Magazine and Transworld Snowboard Magazine all captured the moment well, while we got some sweet shots of our Flux team.  Stay tuned for the video–coming soon.

Yuma Abe and Kataro Kamimura flew out from Japan just for Hot Dawgs—Why weren’t you there?

Jaeger Bailey was head over heels about his first ever Hot Dawgs experience….

So was Cody Boan…..  Newly rockin the RK30s.

Chris Brewster came all the way from Alaska and showed us some tricks that made his “Ammo” part especially epic.

Scotty Vine, Scotty Vine… always a good time…

 

On the otherside of the globe, the YES crew premiered their movie in Chile and Jake Koia premiered “Given’s, ‘One.’”  in his hometown of Queenstown.  The movies was just as good there as it was here… but they were in a these rad places and  just had more Red Bulls. Looks like it got wild.  Check out Jake’s Blog and this wrap up video….

 

 

 

 

FLUX FRIDAY!

It’s Friday! We made it through the week!! 

Here are some clips from some of our Flux team to start off your weekend  Fluxing Fantastically!

If you are in SoCal, Laguna is the place to be this weekend!  Tonight, ‘Givin’ presents “One,” starring Flux riders Cody Rosenthal and Jake Koia at Regency Laguna, South Coast Cinema. Take a look at the teaser and check the poster for a premier in your neck of the woods.  It looks like it is going to be rad.

 

 

Jake Koia shows us around his motherland, Queenstown, New Zealand, in this video put out by Red Bull.  He is rockin the new DMCC-lights.  Maybe that’s why he is flying so high.  CLICK HERE to see the video.

 

Not only does Zac Marben get creative on the snow, he gets artsy on canvas too.  This Saturday Zac is  holding his own art show!  If his art is as good as his other skills, you won’t want to miss this.

Zac also just got an invitation to the Burton Rail Days, set to be held in the middle of the busy streets of Tokyo on November 19^th.   That gives you plenty of time to get your passport and a ticket overseas—right? Just throwing it out there…

 

If city riding isn’t your style, you should check out JP Solberg in Twe12ve.   This is the kind of snow that we could only slash in our wildest dreams.  He really is doing it big.  Check out the teaser for a taste of what the whole Absinthe movie is about.

 

Chris Brewster takes some shots in Ammo— an all am video that is more than worth seeing.

Check out this intro of some smashes and thrashes and go pick it up in your local shop.

 

After residing in the Hood all summer, the lovely Madison Blackley stopped by the Snowboarder Magazine office to do a guestbook interview.  Click here to see what she has to say.

Were excited to see more from Madi this coming season.

 

Ryan Tarbell and Chad Tarbell tear up the streets of Big Bear.  Literally.  From porches to balconies, they take on the irregular and make it irresistible. It must be in their blood.

Please don’t try this at home.

YES! Team shoot out!

JP Solberg, Romain De Marchi and the YES crew sent it in the Whistler backcountry in the Transworld team shoot out!
“The YES crew went deep. They scouted a rare new zone in the already bombarded Whistler backcountry spending three days breaking trail just accessing it. They camped, cut trees, waited out storms, heli’d and got gnarly. The mission was an effort to catch the essence of snowboarding in a natural state and express a rider’s individual bond with the mountain.”
Check out the video on Transworlds website by CLICKING HERE!
You can also see what the YES crew went through by looking at some behind the scene footage of the shoot by CLICKING HERE.
