We had the privelage to highlight of few of the new items featured from Forum and Special Blend thanks to our friend and Team Manager Kevin Keller. For over ten years Forum and Special Blend have made some the best products in snowboarding and featured some of the biggest icons in the sport today. Forum and Special Blend seem to be really focused on Lifestyle, Fashion, Quality, and Snowboarding. ” It truly is the hottest shit on the market”, says Team Rider Stevie Bell.

So don’t just look to Forum and Special Blend for snow goods but be on the watch from a hot New Era collection, drinking cuzis, bandanas, gloves, Tees, Hoodies, and the ever so popular flask to store that warm drink on and off the slopes. Check them out at www.Forumsnowboards.com and www.special-blend.com

While we are on the topic be sure to look for the new team video ” Forum or Against Em” featuring Travis Kennedy, Stevie Bell, Peter Line, Nic Sauve, Daniel Ek, Pat Moore, Jake Blauvelt, Jake Welch, Eddie Wall, John Jackson and Joni Malmi.

Seshn: Where you posted at?

CB: Twin Peaks, CA…Big Bear

Seshn: Who are your sponsors?

CB: Technine, Electric Visual, Neff, Vans, Big Bear, Ambigious

Seshn: What do you want to take from snowboarding?

CB: RESPECT!!!!!!!!!

Seshn: Why is Dingo so popular?

CB: WHO?????…oh you mean that guy from Australia?!?!?!

Seshn: What is your whip game like?

CB: You know I roll stunna style. Got that 2000 beater Subaru on some all black stock 15″ rims. Then I got a cracked windshield so the PoPo dont spot me. Also got me two 15’s running off 500 watts. Str8 Ghetto Fab

CB: There are too many to name. Much respect to Goon Squad, Nico Cioffi, and Midget Mafia..Repersent!  

Seshn: What is your favorite thing about snowboarding?

CB: They way it feels. It’s a good escape from the bull shit.

Seshn: Some say your style is one of the best in the game. What influences your style of riding?

CB: I do it how I can do it. I just keep it all about me and what feels right.

Seshn: What is one thing you want to change about snowboarding?

CB: Bitch ass faggots. There are way too many people that talk way too much. People need to get out of my business unless your on some grown man business. I am about to ride down the hill naked covered in blood to scare people and give them something to talk about.

Seshn: What is like filming “Bozwreck 2″?

CB: Shit is raw. Snowboarding ain’t ready for what Nate[Bozung] and Matty[Ryan] are about to release and I think it’s funny. But on the real some of the best uncut and uncensored snowboarding is going down in Bozwreck.

Seshn: So how is your part in “Familia”…the Finga on Da Trigga flick.

CB: I work hard when Cole[Taylor] ain’t choking me and [Lucas]Magoon out. I am pumped to see what this years flick is going to look like. We got some heavy hitters holding down the block. 

Seshn: Do you want your daughter to pursue snowboarding?

CB: My daughter has been shredding since she came out the gut. If she wants to pursue it I got her back for life.. she is my little soldier. But my advise to her is keep away from the money hungry sharks in the indusrty. A lot of big heads are just trying to use people for their wealth and care less about us getting broke off. Sometimes I want to beat these busters down , but I don’t want to catch a case over some waldo getting stuck. 

Seshn: What advice can you give to kids that want to pro shreds?

CB: Keep shredding and fuck the agents trying to swoop you up. Tell them to get raped…fucking molester’s.  Also listen to your parents and stay away from strangers.

Seshn: Shout Outz !

CB: To all my fucking homies..you know who you are! C-Town, V.O.E, my sponsors (unless the check is late…hahaha just playin), and all the Cat’s out there repping the lifestyle…..S.T.D. (shred till death)

Mammoth’s 3rd Annual West Coast Invitational

Thanks to Snowboard-Mag.com 

“How does it feel Chas to win one bizzillion dollars in a year?”

Words by Tawnya Schultz/ Pics by Binky

First off I must apologize for slacking and not having a post up sooner. I know; it’s not like me or us at all. Here’s the thing. Something so random happened this weekend at the West Coast Invitational after party while Talib Kweli was performing on stage. While Pancho was holding my camera and showing me a “memory card full” message since we had taken more than 100 photos that night some crazy guy jumped on stage attempting to stage dive. Well literally within a split second security grabbed the dude and bro went flying off the stage landing directly on Pancho who’s like half this guy’s size. Anyway Pancho somehow survived but my camera did not. It went flying as well vanishing within seconds. So I’m putting the word out. Someone has my Canon digi cam with tons of rail jam and Talib Kweli party photos. We pulled some pics together for ya though, courtesy of Binky, and here’s a brief rundown of what went down at this year’s W.C.I. in Mammoth Lakes, CA.

Chris Grenier mobbin’ it before he got hurt.

4th Annual Grenade Games — Thanks Snowboard-Mag.com

Look at those flowing locks. Danny Kass getting’ lifted in his own way.

Words: Tawnya Schultz / Photos: Binky and K Deezy

In its 4th year Grenade Games has turned into quite the spectacle so much so that the entire police force was called out in attempts to rain on our parade. Well there’s only one way to say it and nobody better to quote in this situation than N.W.A.; “Fuck the police.” There are serious crimes taking place, people missing, rapists lingering the streets and the city decides to place all of its energy on a bunch of alleged criminal snowboarders who are simply looking to enjoy the mountains; and so what, maybe a little greenery, but honestly is that stuff seriously still illegal? It’s a lose lose situation and it was a conspiracy in fact.

Radical Dudes for life. Danny and Dingo.

9Grand T.M. Kdeezy and The wonder boy Lucas Magoon

Who’s got the stash? Maximillion does of course. Mase is stoked.

Here they come. Crash and burn.

Dingo and Danny with reining champ Thor Rein.

South Shore Soldiers Rob Crosby and Shasta with The Dingo.

There were at least 10 vehicles pulled over on the 15 mile drive from Mammoth to June Lake with another 15 to 20 officials lingering on both sides of the highway. The DEA was out, the drug dogs, the paddy wagon, a contraband drop off, and drug search check point. It was no joke. Well yeah actually maybe it was. Ya see it was truly all fun and “games” because us, us little snowboarders, with our criminal minds found a way around the system and still got higher than the sky all 4/19 and 4/20. So who’s laughing now?

Binky definitely is. Thanks for the photos Binks!

Technine’s Jeremy Grendal is too.

And so were Bradshaw and I.

As was Mitch Reed. Do you see where I’m going with this?

Even though everyone was getting pulled over for any and everything possible including but not limited to no front license plate, a cracked windshield, driving with goggles on, from what I know no one was arrested just given tickets and all that was confiscated was less than an ounce of weed total. Let me not get too far off base from the event’s original intentions and that is celebrating the shred and coming together for few days of peace and unity.

The jumpline.

Brian Regis’ method airing for the photogs.

Most Radical Dude Chas Guldemond.

D. Kass over the gap.

And another angle.

Girl fight.

The weather was slightly frigid for April and definitely windy but everyone made the best of it shredding the day away Saturday on the legit slope-style setup and taking part in a number or Genadesque competitions. After a lil’ rest and some much needed Pita Pit to get back on track for the night’s party the crew headed to Whiskey Creek. Once again overcapacity, cops outside, lines at the bar, and any and everyone from the Grenade Army up in the mix.

Sk8 Mafia and Jus Liv’s Preebz, Electric TM Cyle Cadam, and Dingo.

Watch out here comes Kass.

It’s all just love here.

The morning of 4/20 meant a blunted wakeup call and getting back on the wagon for another full day of party…and shred. The pipe was calling (ha, ha) and the players were out to play: Mason Aguirre, Kyle Clancy, Doran Laybourn, Luke Mitrani, Danny Kass, Louie Vito, Scotty Arnold, Chas Guldemond, Lane Knaack, the list goes on. And for those who opted not to hike the pipe all day a mini quarter-pipe and picnic table jib setup were constructed to play around on.

Lake Tahoe rockers, THC, kept the jam alive on the snow mound as did Deathpact completing the party in full Grenade style. Thanks to Janae Twisselman and Grenade for once again organizing a foggy and hardly memorable event. My eyes are still red from two days ago. Also thanks to all the peeps at June Mountain for actually being cool and supporting the cause. Exploit!
