Usually a pic like this means Joe P. But this time it's John Vickroy, posting that plant up at Timberline, Oregon. Snowboarding Saves Lives!

Maybe it's too much coffee, or maybe I'm just a bit distracted. I'm not sure either way, 'cause I wasn't really paying attention. Sometimes this leads to us to posting the wrong pic. The pic in the last post was not of Konstanze. This one is; Konsti on the left, and Unfamiliar head honcho, Matthias, on the right. Agents by nature, Unfamiliar is taking Automaton into deep Europe.

Pre-season snow conditions seem to be hitting all sorts of places already, and shreds are crawling out of the woodwork to get some. Konstanze with the Unfamiliar crew from Stuttgart has been getting some shred time on the glacier at Hinterlux. He is in love with his Oddball. They are going to run away together. Snowboarding Saves Lives!

It's that time of year when shreds are heading back to the hills. Nate has returned to full-time lurking in Breck, living the life, patiently waiting for snow, and couch surfing. Hey, if anyone has an extra room to rent, send us the info and we'll pass it along! That's Nate in the pic. Sure he likes the High Life, but why not let him into your hearts and home?

As seen in the latest issue of Fine magazine which uniquely organizes new snow swords by color. Automaton has one in the pink. Snowboarding Saves Lives!

On the B's website showing their company photos, what's this? A pic of an Automaton Mixed Signals? Yes, it's there. I didn't realize Burton was backing us. Or is it us that's backing them? Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours? Hey, thanks for the exposure, B. Click here for the direct link. Thanks to Mike for the tip. Snowboarding Saves Lives!

Here's a novel retail strategy: how about stocking shred products that aren't in every other shop? Hopefully you can feel the sarcasm, 'cause I'm laying it on pretty thick. Matthias Schweiker and crew at the Unfamiliar in Germany have been banking on this strategy for years and that's how they run their shop. Now with Automaton on board! Here's a link for those that Deutsch sprechen. Snowboarding

Back in Tahoe for the weekend. It's cold and some places are blowing snow. Venturing downtown, we caught up with the elusive Shawn Carney. Where will he be next? No one knows. Snowboarding Saves Lives!

The interviewer has become the interviewee. Shay gets some attention from ESPN, and in the process Automaton gets a wee mention towards the end. Too bad we didn't get any proper nouns in there, especially since I know Colin from his days as editor of Future, but screw the politics. Click the pic, or click here to peep the article.

While the print media in the states isn't doing so hot, the land of Japan is still pumping out a myriad of mags over a wide range of topics and I don't mean those girlie soft core ones that are freaking everywhere. There's FINE that focuses on shred fashion, and in their latest issue, Agent Taka (and a 09/10 Time Fighter!) is featured in a cross-training article pushing wakeboarding, 'cause I

Fact: Many (not all) shred mags won't run editorial on a brand that doesn't purchase ad space. It seems that much consumer and industry-level snow news is left up to the bloggers to report. Here's a profile piece by Shayboarder, one of a handful of bloggers who do what media was supposed to. Snowboarding Saves Lives!

As the A-Train would say, Brent's rat tail is so real. Chuck Norris' mustache could possibly maybe beat it, but just barely. Snowboarding Saves Lives!

I'm definitely stoked on the recent uprising of shred bloggers. I don't mean the guys that drive up to the mountain, then write about the trip as if anyone cares and call themselves journalists. I mean the bloggers and new online/print publications that are consistently out-scooping the traditional mags in terms of NEWS. On one part, it's easy to get the jump on the mags since they generally lay
