youknowmyfunction...a crew worth checking out.

Well somewhere out there in that no-man's-land we call the midwest, there's a crew of snowboarding delinquents who call themselves: youknowmyfunction. Now these boys can really pull off some stylish maneuver's on their snowboards. They also knowhow to put together a fine and dandy edit. Check out this one from a little California road-trippin:

So Long Bear, See You Next Year

Bear Mountain, the terrain park capital of the world. We know it well from the episodes of Sunday in the Park, that we all watch so religously. Well it's that time of the year again, and our favorite shred resorts are closing up shop 'til next year, and as sad as it is to see them go, I do love a good "closing day" edit. Here are several from that slushy SoCal resort we drool over from our NW hot-pow and storm sessions.

Capture The Moment

Photography is a huge part of snowboard media. Photographers have a great deal of influence on who we see and how we see the riders that grace the pages of our favorite snowboard magazines. We all know the "greats," Blotto, Cole Barash, Scott Serfas, Andy Wright, the list goes on. It takes a lot of hard work and discipline to become a professional photographer. If you love it though, it's worth it. These photos are the product of that hard work.

Hello Spring

Just foolin' around on the skateboard today. Finally seeing some sunlight. Fun times.

Brighton: The Closest Thing To a Snowboard Only Resort

Everyone knows Brighton for it's legendary parks with "super-gnar" features, but as snowboarding has progressed and changed, the "fun feature," has evolved and found itself in the heart of Brighton's terrain park. Brighton is one of those few resorts with super innovative features, because it caters so specifically to snowboarders, that they can build their parks more creatively. The one thing that's keeping snowboarding alive, is how incredibly entertaining it is, to just mess around and do something fun and original. Brighton knows how to keep it interesting.

Handplant Wisdom

Handplants are an essential trick for anyone to have under their belt. First off, they're super fun. Trying them anywhere and everywhere, opens up a whole new aspect for every feature, windlip, or urban spot. The trick to handplants is not being afraid to try. It's really not that hard once you just go for it. But don't take my word for it, the Don of all things snowboarding, JP Walker shows us how it's done.



The best part is once you got 'em, you can retire to be an old "legend," getting paid for the occasional handplant in a Sunday in the Park episode. Yeah that's you Pat Bridges.

A Little T-Line Edit

A few first thoughts on Snowboarding.

Snowboarding to me is about the passion, the love, the feeling. It’s not about going bigger on a jump, or getting gnarlier on a rail than the next guy. Sure it’s about progression, but not just for the sake of being better than anyone else. I’m a Torstein fan but I’ll leave the triple corks to him, McMorris, and Burgener. Snowboarding to me is about having fun. I love messing around in the trees, hitting a backyard spot, or just having a good time with the homies. For me that’s what snowboarding’s all about. Who cares if the other guy went bigger? You should be congratulating them, not trying to find a way to put them down or one-upping them. Feed off their energy and try something new yourself. Don’t let anyone tell you what to do or what not to do, and especially don’t let anyone tell you how to have fun. That part’s up to you. Find what you love and do it for as long as you can.
