Silverton, CO - July 23, 2010 - Venture Snowboards is teaming up with Protect Our Winters to offer a special limited edition snowboard for winter 2010/2011.
To increase awareness of environmental issues and the global warming crisis, last winter Venture partnered with the nonprofit group Protect Our Winters (POW) for a snowboard design contest. The winning design, created by Canadian artist Julie Boake, artfully captured the contest's themes of winter, the environment, and activism.

Offering primo response, pop and landing stability, this unique twin shape provides the best of both the rocker and camber worlds. Hybrid ProRize™ combines the surfy feel of rocker with the hard charging pop you get from traditional camber. It’s accomplished by featuring micro-rocker in the tip and tail to maintain a fun, surfy, hook-free feel and micro-camber with a flat zone between the feet to maintain snap and amplify the pop factor.

Here is what Mr Rice had to say.
In 2008 Rice co-produced with filmmaker Curt Morgan one of the biggest budget blockbuster snowboard films of its time "That’s It That’s All"
NZ not only featured in the opening section but also hosted the World Premier in Wanaka. It took film making in the mountains to another level.
Amid the never-ending mission to find pure adventure Travis has already begun production on Chapter 2 - "Flight"

Imagine doing a back flip. Now imagine doing a back flip in 105-degree weather. Now imagine doing a back flip in 105-degree weather in the heart of Las Vegas. It seems but only a dream, right? Well this was also the dream of Coors Light and Caesars Palace. With the help of Rezin Marketing and the boys at Galvanic Design that dream became a reality last weekend at the first annual Caesars Palace “Cold Front” event.

You’ve seen the team riding these boards in the F*** It teaser so we wanted to give you a lo-down on what they’re about. The Contract is part of a new Urban line of boards we’re bringing in '11. Developed on the team’s specific street-riding needs the boards are durable, fast on the drop in, poppy, and affordable. One more thing, if you get a Contract you can sign up for the Contract Team, send in your best urban photos and have the chance to score some photo incentives.
The Contract will be available in shops this fall but is available right now for demo at Hood and Camp of Champs.

If you attended the seventh stop of the Campus Rail Jam Tour at the University of Nevada, congratulations, you are hardcore. Anyone who is down to shred in 70 mph winds, sleet, and then a heat wave is A-OK in our book. You may think that living in such close proximity to Tahoe’s finest ski zones would turn these kids into spoiled shredders, but you would be sadly mistaken. The Reno/Tahoe snow scene has proven that they will ride anything, anytime, anywhere.

To a bus full of college-bred shredheads, the city of Compton doesn’t sound like a pleasant place to hold an inner-city rail jam. Sure, we all enjoy a little Eazy E or N.W.A. every now and again, but let’s face it, a shred-mob wearing tall-tees and tight pants probably wouldn’t be welcomed with open arms by the local homies. So naturally, when the Campus Rail Jam Tour crew began to head to a little city in Washington dubbed “Spo-Compton” everyone was a little skeptical. However, this ghetto-fabulous stereotype couldn’t have been further from the truth. Not only did Spokane welcome the Campus Rail Jam Tour with open-arms, but the event laid-claim to the best skiing and snowboarding of the entire tour. Spo-compton represent!

After 17 stops on the PB&RJ North American tour including recent stops at Keystone Resort and Stratton Mountain, the five top winners of each qualifier will battle it out in the finals for a chance to win part of the $30,000 prize purse and to become the 2010 PB&RJ Champion!
This popular amateur snowboard contest has been running for the past nine years and presents a fresh "jam style" format for the riders. Three park features dug in side-by-side to create a "rail zone" for the riders to hit as many times as they like within their twenty minute set. Riders are judged on the difficulty and style of their tricks and their best two scores make up their final result. Riders also have a chance to win $1000 straight up with Electric's "Gooeyest Move of the Day".
Volcom's Peanut Butter and Rail Jam is an awesome event for spectators- come hang out on the Main Lodge Sundeck and enjoy the competition right there on the snow!
