Snowboard

Forget granola bars and leave the continental breakfast in its tinfoil tray, because in the latest episode of Every Third Thursday Dave Lee and the Signal Snowboards crew find a whole new way to grab a hot breakfast before hitting the hill.

The solution? Combine a snowboard and griddle into one powder-pounding, pancake-producing machine. Sure, it sounds simple enough, but creating a portable surface hot enough to fry an egg took the Signal braintrust a few tries before they were finally able to whip up both an ingenious solution and slopeside breakfast sandwiches for the whole crew. So grab the maple syrup, pour a hot cup of coffee, and kick back as Signal rider Brandon Schroeder gets this crazy hybrid snowboard cookin’ on the slopes of Mountain High.

How many different uses can you think of for this awesome griddle board? Let us know in the comments below!

Witness the best snowboarders in the world going big at the Air + Style Innsbruck Big Air event hosted by Shaun White. The qualifying round is now LIVE and we'll get to see Olympic gold medalist Sage Kotsenburg in his first major competition since the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics.

WATCH THE QUALIFYING ROUND BELOW NOW.

Contrary to popular belief Iceland doesn't get all that much snow, so when Kevin Backstrom and Tor Lundstrom heard it dumped three feet in the capital Reykjavik, they were on the next plane, boards in hand (well, really the baggage compartment, but you get the point). When the powder finally settled, the crew walked away with one of the trip edits of the yet-young winter, filled with more than enough hammers, heavy slams, and hi-jinx to make the BYND x MDLS boys proud.

This video goes from completely normal to totally hairball in the blink of an eye, with Eric Gronnenberg popping off a routine 50-50 only to loop out and launch ass-first into the only exposed metal rod in five square miles. Thankfully, for the sake of both Eric's derriere and dignity, the crew took a Murphy's Law approach, placing a trash lid over the pole prior to the session, but knowing what could have been is still enough send chills down the, ahem, spine.

Ever been riding the MegaRamp and think to yourself: "Man, I wish I could use just one board for this and hitting the mountain."? Well, if you haven't had that thought that's what the guys at Signal Snowboards are here for.

Dave Lee and the crew team up with Lithe (a small skateboard operation out of California that’s using composites in skateboards in a really unique and cool way) on this insane build for this new Every Third Thursday. The goal of this build is to adapt Lithe’s unique carbon fiber building process to create a snowboard that can double as a skateboard. The board needs to be bomber enough for X Games pro skater Mitchie Brusco to skate on Woodward West’s Megaramp, but still have enough flex so it can turn on snow. We test this dual board out on Camp Woodward’s Megaramp and on the snowy park jumps at Woodward at Copper and it got two Mega thumbs up!

With the onslaught of smart phones, smart cars, smart home thermostats, and smart just about everything else, it's about time a smart snowboard was made. And the guys at Signal Snowboards were just the people to develop it.

In this new episode of Every Third Thursday, Dave Lee and the Signal Snowboards crew team up with Matt Davis from Name The Machine, Samy Kamkar, and Alex Nano to build a snowboard that acts like a video game controller to control the playback of the music. The crew builds sensors into the snowboard and creates custom software to gather data and manipulate the soundtrack based on the boards motions. Signal rider Daniel Brown then gets to test out the smart board at Bear Mountain, creating his own custom park riding soundtrack.

The Dew Tour's 2014/2015 campaign kicked off this weekend in beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado, and although it was all over before you could say switch backside double cork, the level of insanity on display taught us a lot about the season ahead. So eyes front and notebooks open, its time to get schooled.

Brolin Mawejje's stories is one of the most unlikely things to happen. He was born in Uganda, Africa with little hope for much of a future. When Brolin was 2 his mother left the family. Then at age 11 Brolin was contacted that his mother had set up for his emigration to the United States in a suburb of Boston.

Being dropped into a snow-covered world that he'd never even known existed, Brolin got involved in an after school ski and snowboard program. And his life was forever changed. He's currently in medical school studying to become a doctor that can help his native country's vast medical problems. And he's also become very good at snowboarding, and is training to become the first Olympic snowboarder to represent an African nation.

Brolin's tale is being wrapped up into a documentary, Far From Home, which will come out early in 2015. Get a look at the trailer here and let us know what you think below.

YouTube user ohwell1122 definitely beat everyone else in the start to the winter shred season. He ended up falling off the chairlift (because the safety bar wasn't down!) and needed to be saved by ski patrol. Don't get in this situation when snowboarding.

The second teaser for the Helgason's upcoming snowboard film, NoToBo, has just dropped. Apparently it's all about fame, glory, money, and gold—because guys like the Helgasons and Sage Kotsenburg are all about that life. A nice comedic laugh in preparation for what should be some solid snowboarding from this one.

What the hell is the gorgeous Hannah Teter doing here? Is she trying to break that tire? Was that tire a naughty boy? I don't know about you, but she can bash those tires with a sledge hammer and hula hoop all she wants...

Burton Presents drops their latest installment and it's a street banger. Zak Hale and Ethan Deiss are two of the best when it comes to go hard and fast in the streets, so sit back and enjoy these 8-and-a-half-minutes.

Inside Dubai's Mall Of The Emirates there is a giant refrigerator that houses Ski Dubai. What's Ski Dubai you ask? Well, it's Dubai's indoor snowboard and ski park.

Ski Dubai is the world's largest indoor snow slope, so the Arbor team headed their to truly test the limits of what it's got to offer. Who would've thought you could get some solid jib time in while in Dubai?

A mammoth snowboard for opening day at Mammoth Mountain! In this all new Every Third Thursday, Dave Lee and the entire Signal Snowboards factory crew team up on a huge project: a 10-foot long (304-cm) snowboard. The whole factory needs to be rearranged to create this behemoth board, but it pays off in the end. The board is mounted on top of the 4Runner and the crew arrives just in time for opening day at Mammoth Mountain. Check out team rider Ian Thorley turn heads as he laps the park and kicks the season off in a BIG way!

What a great way to cap off a great snowboard series. Last winter Adidas Snowboarding put riders Keegan Valaika, Forest Bailey, Artem Smolin, Alex Tank, and friend Jonas Michilot onto the Trans-Siberian railroad. Nomad 3 features heavy rail work, the frozen tundra of Siberia, and Mongolian dance parties. Now go take your own snowboard adventure.

When I was in college, snowboarding 2-3 days a week was just not enough. I needed more. So I took the winter semester off and moved to Park City, Utah. It was there that I was finally able to snowboard every single day. It was also where I experienced the best job I will ever have: delivering pizza for Davanza's.

I spent every day on-hill, and every night behind the wheel. Navigating my way through the treacherous streets in blizzard conditions, I delivered to world-class hotels and multi-million dollar ski homes—as well as muchie-crazed locals who would provide tips in green currency. Between deliveries I would hang out in the bastion of the shreddy pizza lifestyle that Davanza's embodies.

Olympic gold medalist Sage Kotsenburg knows the shreddy pizza lifestyle better than most, as exhibited in this day in the life video from Utah's latest Find Your Greatest campaign. Ride by day, pizza by night. When you're 21-years-old, nothing else should matter.

Oakley's new snowboard film, Snowboarding For Me, is a departure from the usual hammerfest of today's snowboard videos. Instead, it presents each of the brand's 12 riders in documentary-form that tracks their personal growth in relation to the riders that have influenced them. The result is one great snowboard video. Check it out as Tim Brodhagen talks to Nicolas Müller, Jake Blauvelt, and Eero Ettala about what it means to them to be a part of such an important project on this new episode of Dose.

In anticipation of this winter, Ambition Snowskates dropped Ten, 10 years in 10 minutes video recap. Featuring riders Phil Smage, Alan Gerlach, Zack Alworden, Josh Seguin, Alex Crowcroft, Charlo Simard, Eric Fryc, and lots more, this is definitely the best 10-minutes of snowskating you'll watch today.

If you don't know who Nick Dirks is then you're about to get a much needed lesson in savage street snowboarding. Dirks is a Portland, Oregon man and throws all caution out the window. And yes, you'll see him snowboard on a Saint Paul, Minnesota police cruiser at the end, which is essentially par for the course for Dirks. If this opening part from Videograss's newest snowboard film, Mayday, is any sign of what comes after it then we all need to go watch this movie immediately.

Every Third Thursday has finally returned! And what better way to kick off season 5 than with a camping trip to Mt. Hood. But you know Dave Lee and the Signal Snowboards crew wouldn't do it in normal fashion. They actually post up at a backwoods snowboarder’s camp with the goal of building a snowboard using foraged materials and a hand dug dirt press. This snowboard is the definition of local with the crew gathering materials from the surrounding forest to build the core of the snowboard. The real challenge comes when it’s time to press all these materials together to seal the layers. Will they be able to cure the board using hot coals and a shallow dirt mold? We’ll find out as the board is put to the test high above on the glaciated snowfield at Mt. Hood’s Timberline Resort.

Mark McMorris had one helluva winter last year. He repeated in Dew Tour slopestyle, took bronze at the Sochi Winter Olympics, took out the US Open, got to go to Baldface with Travis Rice and Eric Jackson, and was part of Danny Davis's Peace Park experiment. Amidst all that he broke a rib at X Games just 12 days before the Olympics started. Somehow he gutted it out though and still took home that bronze medal. His Burton Presents part here documents all of that and more with some spectacular riding from the Canadian.

Remember those awesome videos Pepsi did with NBA star Kyrie Irving posing as an old man? Well snowboarder Jack Mitrani has finally done something we've been waiting for, and dressed up as an old man to prank a bunch of snowboarding's top pros.

Mitrani plays snowboarder Mark Sollors's uncle, Uncle Dave, at High Cascade amidst a plethora of top pros. And he fools them all. Danny Davis stares right into his eyes, he has a conversation with Pat Bridges, gets Kazu Kokubo's autograph, and gushes over Scott Stevens and his un-binded prowess. In the end, he tricks them all. Thanks Mitrani for making this happen.

It's getting to be that season again. The season for snow tubing. You know, those days when the snow conditions aren't great and you'd rather just get drunk on the mountain and mess around. Just make sure when you have those days this winter you don't do what this guy did and fly into the lodge. When your friends are yelling bail, you should bail.

Ken Block's Ford Raptor TRAX offroad vehicle is insane. The other day he did an awesome burnout with the treads, and now he's dropped his shredfest video of his time up at Baldface Lodge in Nelson, British Columbia. Block teamed up with snowboarders Zak Hale and Ethan Deiss for some powder shredding, grilling some weiners, and snow hoonage. It's a pretty fun looking time that the trio have, and Block yet again shows he's one of the best Hoonigans around.

Snowboarders Kazu Kokubo and Eric Jackson are two of the most well-traveled guys around. They've been doing since they were young and still hit it all the time.

October is here, which means snow will soon be falling—or being sprayed by snow machines. In anticipation of the upcoming season, we're going to be breaking down the best of the best new gear that you should have for this winter. Snowboard manufacturers have been experimenting with alternative shapes in recent years, and the 2015 winter season offers a wide range of unique shapes to spice up your quiver.

Here's 7 of our favorites to get your brain tinkering, and stay tuned for more snow gear breakdowns coming soon.

Seth Hill is one of those under-the-radar snowboarders who should definitely [be on your radar]1. He's the type of guy who does what he wants and doesn't let others' opinions change the way he goes about his riding. Living in Breckenridge, Colorado, Hill has been working on a new movie project set to premiere October 2 in Denver called Really Gotta Wanna.

Really Gotta Wanna has got some big names in it by the likes of Scott Stevens, Gigi Ruf, Bode Merrill, and many more. Hill's goal was to blend the documentary style film with the typical snow porn film. Teaming up with Protect Our Winters for the venture, Hill is set for the world to see the final product. We had a chat with Hill about what the process was like and his rehabbing from a broken back earlier this year.

If you’ve seen one snowboard, you’ve seen them all. Right? Not if you’re Dave Lee. Lee is the founder of Signal Snowboards out of Huntington Beach, California. His company produces some of the best boards on the market. But Lee also likes to push the envelope and Every Third Thursday is where the crazy ideas in Lee’s head come to life.

From boards made out of glass to the first 3D-printed snowboard, each episode of Every Third Thursday features a new invention. These snowboards aren’t made to sit on a shelf. Lee and the Signal Snowboards team ride every one of their creations on the mountain to see how they perform.

Signal Snowboards cap an epic 2012/13 winter with a good old fashioned derby race! Paying tribute to traditional pinewood derby races, Signal founder Dave Lee rounds up pinewood 2x4s as the foundation for these unique snowboards. The Signal crew then gets to work in the factory planing and gluing the 2x4s to create the base for each board. Custom graphics are added, then it's time to hit the road to Mammoth Mountain. Snowboarders Ian Thorley, Dylan Synnott, Joey Yorba and friends meet up with Dave to transform these boards into their own custom derby destroyers! With boards assembled the guys hit the hill to compete on their creations. You won't believe the speed these guys get on 2x4s! Goodbye winter—hello summer 2013!

Pro FMX rider Ronnie Renner checks in from the snowy mountains of McCall, Idaho. Ronnie jumps on a Snow Bike—a hybrid motorcycle/snowmobile with a ski acting as the front tire and a narrow track in place of the rear tire. Ronnie dumps the snow bike a few times before getting the hang of it and ripping through the trees and finding natural terrain features to send it off of with the local boys! When in doubt give it gas!

Pro snowboarder Mike Basich is as close to a real-life Yeti as you can get. He lives in a 228 square foot cabin near Lake Tahoe. The only way to access Basich's house in the winter is by snowmobile or snowcat and all of his water is supplied by snowmelt. So it kind of makes sense that Basich is embracing his Yeti-ness in this clip from Alaska. This is also a great way to get all over warmth (and we mean all over).

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MIKE BASICH? TELL US IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.

Professional snowboarders do lots of different things to stay in shape for the upcoming winter. Helen Schetteni does yoga. And on this episode of Dose, we get to do yoga with her in Encinitas, California at Bergamot spot with Lauren Duke. We hear from Schettini about her growing reputation as a backcountry shredder, her epic part in the new Adidas snowboard film and why she spent her summer down south in Encinitas, California.

The progression in street snowboarding in recent years is just off the charts. We're old enough to remember when a down-flat-down rail was impressive. But that's just child's play these days. The Burton [Street] video just came out and it is pushing street snowboarding even higher. In the second of Burton's four-part web series [Snowboarding], Jeremy Jones, Zak Hale, Mark Sollors, and Ethan Deiss absolutely demolish crazy kinked rails and nutty wallrides, take big slams, and moonwalk.

The Tornado Flip has to be one of the craziest tricks of the 2012/2013 winter! In this episode of Deja Vu Will Lavigne casually runs through what it takes to huck yourself into a backside wallride where you must hook your toe edge and then roll and spin into the Tornado Flip. The key ingredient, "Hope" and lots of it.

Any time you get to ride powder in Alaska, you are winning, and Rob Kingwell and Seth Wescott found plenty of it on just their first run in the Chugach mountain range. Kingwell and Wescott are both veteran snowboarders who have spent plenty of time in the mountains. That doesn't mean they are jaded, crusty old dudes who don't get psyched to take pow turns down steep faces in one of the most pristine wildnerness areas in the United States. Be jealous. Be very jealous.

You mess with the lobster, you get the claws. Snowboarder Magazine editor Pat Bridges caught up with Haldor Helgason at the start of last season to talk to him about his new company, Lobster Snowboards. Bridges peppers the interview with all kinds of random trivia about lobsters that Helgason clearly doesn't pick up on. It's a good thing that knowledge of crustaceans is not a requirement for starting a board company.

The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia are coming. That means we are about to be flooded with overly-dramatic, hyperbolic profiles of Olympic athletes and A) their triumph over adversity or B) their quest to stay on top. Snowboarder Shaun White falls into the latter category. NBC Sports did its profile on the two-time defending gold medalist in the halfpipe, and it doesn't disappoint. The narrator delivers so many cringeworthy lines, we aren't sure if there will be any left for Bob Costas come the actual event. Prepare to throw up in your mouth a little.

1. In the exclusive club of transcendent athletes, no one is as extreme as Shaun White.

2. Greatness can't live in the shadow of fear.

3. Progressing the sport is the siren call of the elite snowboarder.

4. A virtuoso on a skateboard, a legend on a snowboard.

5. But on another mountain in another family, there's another kid looking to take him down.

6. Before he was a superstar, White was a brother and a son.

7. Go bigger or give it up.

8. Like he had been raised for this one moment, White crushed his first run in the final.

9. A breakout star, plugged into the entertainment, fashion and music worlds, his talent brought him on a spectacular ride.

The Ashbury Demo is a highly-anticipated snowboarding team display with a totally unique setup. Pros, ams & rep riders from all over come out and put on a show under the California sun.

When most people think about Quiksilver and snowboarding, Travis Rice is the first name that comes to mind. But this new video from Quiksilver Take It Easy gives some of the younger riders on the team some much-deserved shine. Dan "Danimals" Liedahl, Ian Hart, Teo Konttinen, Zebbe Landmark, and Johnny Brady show that they are worthy of the spotlight (and also that they know how to have a good time). But don’t worry, there are still legit cameos from Quiksilver's veteran snowboarders as well. So you will be able to get your fix of Travis Rice, Bryan Fox, Will Lavigne, and Jake Olson-Elm.

Snowboarding's biggest and best movie premiere tour is back for summer 2012. Absinthe Films' now legendary European tour will hit 21 cities bringing the season's sickest shredding to fans across the continent. Absinthe Films tour 2012 features new movie venues, new cities, and all new clubs for post-premier partying, plus badass giveaways and a grand prize trip to Canada. The world premiere kicks off August 27th in Zurich, Switzerland at Absinthe's classic venue the Kaufleuten, highlighted by a concert from Santigold.

The tour will be a party on wheels, delivering riders and Absinthe crew to nearly every stop. Moviegoers will get a chance to win stuff from Anon and Dakine, lift tickets from LAAX, boots from Nike plus the incredible grand prize: a two-week trip to Vancouver sponsored by EF: www.ef.com/absinthe

Snowboarders have been saying "That's dope!" for a long time. But now it has real meaning with the release of Absinthe Films new snowboard video, Dopamine. The trailer for the film is insane with tons of massive backcountry lines and insane urban rails. But what's up with all the names? No snowboard crew has a roster of harder to spell and pronounce names than Absinthe. Nils Arvidsson? Sylvain Bourbousson? Even when you get to a seemingly easy one like Scot Brown, you realize he only has one "T."

Flipside is the show that takes you behind the scenes with Absinthe Films during the making of our latest snowboard movie - NowHere. Follow the life and times of a handful of the most progressive and entertaining riders in snowboarding. Our 2010 Flipside series is broadcasted in 10-12 minute webisodes on various networks, but you can always get the newest releases at absinthe-films.com.

You can do a lot of jibs in that time. Ethan Deiss's home mountain in Trollhaugen, Wisconsin, only has 260 feet of vertical. On the one hand, that's a pretty small mountain. On the other hand, it's a mountain that allows you take three laps in two minutes without ever having to unstrap your bindings. We call that efficiency.

The adventures of Señor Blanco continue.
It's hard to explain why, but we can't stop watching these videos of snowboarder and skateboarder Shaun White trying to learn Spanish.

If you thought that big mountain snowboarder Jeremy Jones's first two videos with Teton Gravity Research (Deeper and Further) were good, then prepare to have your mind blown by the final installment in the trilogy. The trailer for Jones's Higher just came out, and it's not a stetch to say that based on 2:47 worth of footage that this will be the best snowboard movie of 2014 (it comes out in the fall of next year). As Jones says, "I'm getting better at figuring out how to go to more obscure places." That means crazier mountains, crazier lines, just crazier everything. In Higher Jones travels to Alaska, the Sierras, the Tetons, and the Himalayas. This is going to be so good.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE TRAILER FOR HIGHER? TELL US IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.

There's no question that Marko Grilc and Eero Ettala are awesome snowboarders and they're performance in Zürich at Nicolas Muller's freestyle contest, Freestyle.ch, proves it. But on this episode of Grilosodes Grilc and Ettala show that they are both pretty nasty skaters, too. And they want Queen Elizabeth to know it. The two snowboarders got in some skating in front of Buckingham Palace before heading out to Halifax in the English countryside to try dry slopeboarding. Grilc and Ettala discover that you don't need any snow to go snowboarding.

Rome riders are looking after the youth and living in an abandoned motel.
It seems like every snowboard team puts out an edit of footage each summer of its riders working at one of the camps on Mt. Hood. Rome went the extra mile for its "12 Months" project. Rome's riders including Riley Nickerson, Ozzy Henning, Derrek Lever, Ian Boll, and Jeff Hopkins revealed a side of Windells Camp that most people don't see. The Ark is the nickname for the staff housing at Windells, and it's a mix of playground, campground, and flophouse. (It's probably a good thing that the campers' parents don't get to see the Ark on their visits.) The reward for the crappy living conditions is the chance to shred all summer.

The Jackson legend and the Olympian teamed up for big lines in Valdez.
Seth Wescott is best known for winning two gold medals in snowboardcross at the past two Olympics, but his heart is in freeriding. He goes to Alaska every year and on his most recent trip he invited Rob Kingwell to tag along. Kingwell is one of the best big-mountain snowboarders in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, which is really saying something. The two became fast friends in AK, carving powder turns and high-fiving.

Most of the attention in women's snowboarding centers around the halfpipe and riders like Gretchen Bleiler, Kelly Clark, and Hannah Teter. In Roxy's new video "Wilder," the focus shifts to the streets. Roxy snowboarders Corinne Pasela, Erin Comstock, Joanie Robichaud, and more visit their hometowns to find rails and other features. "Wilder" is proof that home is where the jib is.

On the season premier of Grilosodes, snowboarder Marko Grilc and his Burton teammate Mikkel Bang travel to Dubai and discover a place where all boardsports are possible in the Middle East country. It may be in artificial environments, but you can still shred. Grilc and Bang surf the wave pool at Wadi Adventure, snowboard at Ski Dubai, skate the Tashkeel park, and sandboard on the dunes in the desert.

Shaun White has rockstar status around the world, so it only seems fitting that he try and learn some foreign languages. Here, the snowboard and skateboard superstar gives Spanish a try. While things don't exactly go muy bueno, Señor Blanco does know how to say "Boom!"

Nike Snowboarding creates a mash-up of the sounds in Never Not video.
Snowboarding has a unique sound. Any snowboarder could be blindfolded and still identify wax being scraped off a board or a rider sliding down a kinked rail based solely on the information received through the ears. In most snowboard videos, music plays over the action so viewers don't get to hear those authentic sounds. Nike Snowboarding captured that overlooked audio and made a mash-up of it. All the sounds were recorded during the filming of its two-part Never Not video.

Not Hugh Jackman, real wolverines. Life isn't all about snowboarding massive mountain lines in the wilds of Alaska for Jake Koia and Roland Morley-Brown. On the fourth episode of Mates in Alaska, the snowboarders are forced to confront some down days due to poor weather conditions. Once boredom sets in, Koia and Morley-Brown get inventive. From visiting a wildlife park to playing disc golf to racing snowmobiles, the mates keep things interesting.

Go behind the scenes with Rice as he films his Real Snow Backcountry part.
As part of X Games LA, the top snowboarders are participating in the Real Snow Backcountry contest. Six riders have put together backcountry video parts that fans will vote on to decide the winner. There will be no high-speed quads, no terrain parks, just pure big mountain riding. And what's a backcountry snowboarding contest without Travis Rice? Not really a backcountry snowboarding contest. Go behind the scenes with Rice and Pat Moore as they head to Alaska to film their parts for this year's Real Snow Backcountry event.

Roxy snowboarder Torah Bright won the halfpipe gold medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada. For the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia, Bright has something much bigger planned. The Australian is going to attempt to qualify in all three snowboarding disciplines (halfpipe, slopestyle, and boardercross) at the Olympics. If Bright succeeds, she would be the first person to compete in all three events in Olympic history. Sure, this is the first year that anyone could compete in all three snowboard events, since slopestyle is making its debut at this year's Games, but it's still a helluva goal to go after.

DO YOU THINK BRIGHT CAN MEDAL IN ALL THREE EVENTS AT THE OLYMPICS? TELL US IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.

Bennee busts out the winch for his part in the "Never Not" video.
Snowboarder Justin Bennee isn't afraid to bring out the big guns. For his part in Nike Snowboarding's upcoming two-part "Never Not" video, Bennee went for a trick on a massive up-ledge that required a lot of things to come together. Bennee used a winch to tow him into the feature and needed to get the speed, pop, landing, and ride-away dialed in precisely.

Eric Jackson knows that you reap the rewards in snowboarding by being motivated, having self-discipline, getting up early, and making sacrifices. It also doesn't hurt if you have a glorious beard. Jackson's hard work has been rewarded with a spot on the emerging Adidas Snowboarding team. Adidas is dropping a new video "Welcome: Eric Jackson" on October 14 and the trailer just came out. It's heavy.

And, of course, Bryan Iguchi is on it.
Jackson Hole is one of the best resorts in the United States. With tons of steep, challenging terrain and lots of snow, it's easy to see why snowboarders like Travis Rice have made Jackson Hole their home. One thing Jackson Hole isn't known for is its surfing. Until now. Legendary pro snowboarder Bryan Iguchi discovered that when the snowpack melts, the water level in the Snake River rises and makes for a surfable standing wave. Iguchi and fellow pro snowboarder Cam Fitzpatrick scored a session on the Snake and provided an added attraction for a passing rafting group.

Snowboarder Kelly Clark is one of the most influential female riders of all time. She has won two Olympic medals in halfpipe and will attempt to qualify for her third Olympics at the Sochi 2014 Winter Games. But who influenced the influencer? Clark spoke with Dose host Tim Brodhagen and ranked the 5 female snowboarders who had the biggest impact on her riding. These are snowboarders who blazed the path for women in snowboarding, including Tricia Byrnes, Barrett Christy, Nicola Thost and more.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF KELLY CLARK'S LIST? TELL US IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.

Its tough to name too many snowboarders more influential in the sport right now than Travis Rice. So it only makes sense that his new signature boot from DC Shoes is designed to stand up to all kinds of helicopter riding, backcountry booter jumping, and general Travis Rice-ing.

When most people think of snowboarding in Alaska, the first thing that comes to mind is of heliboarding to crazy mountains for insanely steep powder runs. Well, Burton riders Jeremy Jones, Mark Sollors, Zak Hale, and Ethan Deiss have seen plenty of that, so they decide to check out the street scene in AK. The crew find plenty of wall rides and jibs, none of which require helicopter access.

Think completing a Double Alley-Oop Back Side Rodeo is hard? Try capturing it on film. Take a behind the scenes look at what a day of filming with snowboard icon Shaun White looks like. From his adventures in the half-pipe to his time interviewing in front of the camera, Shaun always goes Beyond Reason.

Dan "Danimals" Liedahl is one of the most laid-back people in all of snowboarding. And he's also got one helluva nickname in "Danimals" (although we're still a little confused as to why its plural). But Danimals really stands out because he goes big on a snowboard. Exhibit 1: his full part in Quiksilver Snowboarding's new film Take It Easy.

What do you think of Dan Liedahl's part from Take It Easy? Tell us in the Comments below.

We already know that Shaun White lives a pretty spectacular life. Even with that, the past 12 months have been pretty remarkable for the pro snowboarder and skateboarder as this mashup of White's GoPro footage shows. There was triple-corking, kayaking, and rocking out. Of course, if White pulls off a three-peat in halfpipe at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, it will make all this footage seem lame by comparison.

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF SHAUN WHITE'S PAST YEAR? TELL US IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.

Ride Snowboards is creating a new series called Because of Snowboarding and just released a trailer. It features riders like Hana Beamen, Jake Blauvelt, Seb Toots, Marco Feichtner, Alex Cantin and Austin Hironaka getting really sentimental while talking about snowboarding. The series will be released in the Fall so get ready to feel warm and fuzzy about shredding.

There's also some brassy jazz music too. But what's really annoying is that Chris Miolane, Arthur Ghilini, Loic Deschamps, Steve Rosay are still getting powder runs and it's June.

Leave it to two-time Olympic gold medal-winning snowboarder Shaun White to don biker gear on the mountain. But, hey, White nailed the first perfect 100 score in X Games halfpipe history while wearing women's snowboard pants with zebra stripes, so who are we to question his fashion choices? The really crazy thing is that White built a top secret halfpipe in Australia to prepare for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Pictures leaked earlier of the facility, but now we get to see White actually ride his private halfpipe. Looks like he is definitely gunning for a three-peat in Russia.

DO YOU THINK SHAUN WHITE WILL THREE-PEAT AT THE OLYMPICS? LET US KNOW IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.

Brothers Lyubo and Tosho Yanev are one hell of a Bulgarian snowboarding team. Tosho shreds, Lyubo films. Last year the snowboarders spent a few months in Austria filming this full length part, and well, they certainly stepped it up for this week's Fan Friday. Check out Lyubo's YouTube channel for even more solid videos of brother Tosho.

GOT A SKATE/SNOWBOARD/SKI/SURF/BMX/MOTOCROSS/DRIFT VIDEO OF YOU OR YOUR FRIENDS? SEND US A MESSAGE ON FACEBOOK WITH A LINK TO THE FOOTAGE. IF WE DECIDE TO FEATURE IT ON FAN FRIDAY, WE WILL CONTACT YOU.

The Burton High Fives event starts September 8.
In most of the northern hemisphere, folks are getting ready for Back to School and are being inundated with all kinds of annoying Old Navy ads for fleece and denim. But in the southern hemisphere it's winter and the Burton High Fives snowboard contest is about to go down in Wanaka, New Zealand at the Cardrona Alpine Resort. The six-day contest will be one of the first chances to see the snowboarding hopefuls for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

We've seen professional snowboarder Elena Hight get buff, get dressed, and get gnarly, so we feel like we already know her. But with her new web series Hight Hopes we'll really get an inside look at the two-time Olympian as she prepares for the Sochi 2014 Winter Games. Hight's training for the Olympics started all the way back in the summer. It involved a lot of halfpipe shredding but also plenty of time in the gym and with the media obligations that come along with being one of the faces of American snowboarding.

New episodes of Hight Hopes will drop each month, with the next one scheduled for Christmas Eve, December 24.

Can you remember a time without YouTube? We can, but we prefer not to. It has forever changed the shape of the entire world, particularly the way we consume music. So it's fitting that Jason Schwartzman just announced (in the most Jason Schwartzman way) that he will host the first-ever YouTube Music Awards. Even better is the fact that legendary director and Girl Skateboards founder will direct the show. The YouTube Music Awards will take place in New York City on Sunday, November 3, and will be live-streamed worldwide. The show will feature performances by Arcade Fire, Lady Gaga, and Eminem and your votes will determine the award winners. So yeah, Justin Bieber and Rihanna will pretty much win everything.

Signal Snowboards drops into high fashion this month on Every Third Thursday. Series host Dave Lee and the Signal factory crew team up with The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) and student designer Kelly Knaggs to create an avant-garde snowboard to complement her outerwear line. Utilizing fabric and sublimated metal imagery as visual elements and an unusual asymmetrical shape featuring a tail whip, the Signal factory crew, in true Project Runway fashion, complete the final piece just in time for the runway premier at FIDM. The flashy board passes the fashionable test—bit is it functional?

Manu Dominguez and Pat Garvin put the board to the test at Bear Mountain. The whipped tail shape with a short toeside edge and a longer heelside makes for a real soul surfer of a board. Check back Every Third Thursday of the month for another custom snowboard build from Signal Snowboards.

From time to time there are things that happen in sports that stop everything in their tracks and boggle our minds. The manuever is so futuristic that it begins a trend and changes things overnight. If you have seen Pat Moore's part in Volcom's recent IP3 snowboard video then you know what we are talking about. On this week's episode of Dose Moore breaks down his wall splat to boardslide that turned things upside down in street snowboarding. It is a total game changer that we are just starting to wrap our heads around.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF PAT MOORE'S WALL SPLAT TO BOARDSLIDE? TELL US IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.

Every Third Thursday is about ideas, about engineering, about the beauty of manufacturing and always pushing the boundaries. So what happens when Dave Lee and the Signal Snowboards crew come up with an idea that has nothing to do with any of those meaningful aspects? They run with it! This month's factory challenge is to build a snowboard integrating pennies—pennies in the base and "penny traction" edges specifically. Jake Olson-Elm is the chosen one to ride what might just be the worst ETT idea ever. Priceless! Hit play now to watch some noncents go down! Heads or tails, we think this month's episode is still a winner!

In New Episode Of Every Third Thursday Took The Guys Took Some Inspiration From The Catwalk. Watch It Here http://bit.ly/Z6zE01

Dave Lee and the Signal Snowboards crew are back tackling a new hybrid snowboard project that's inspiring on many levels. This month's challenge is to merge Signal snowboards technology and Crankbrothers Mountain bike component technology to create a new next-level custom adaptive snowboard customized to get a new crew of shredders on the hill. The motivation for the build is personal—in 2000, good friend and pro snowboarder Tim Ostler was paralyzed from the chest down in a halfpipe snowboarding accident. Despite maintaining an athletic lifestyle, Tim hasn't been snowboarding since. Watch as the crew build one of the most rewarding boards to date and, after a few setbacks, succeed in getting Tim back out riding with his friends on Every Third Thursday. We encourage you to push this video forward and share it with everyone you know! How cool would it be if this ETT finds its way into production. So, hit play and let's all Raise The Bar and give some serious thought to the Next Level Adaptive Snowboard!

Tired of having to take your backpack on and off every time you get on a chairlift? Bored of just seeing stickers and stomp pads when you look down at your snowboard? Then this new snowboard invention could be for you. It's a bag that attaches to your board between your bindings. That's right, it sits on your board right between your feet, so now that yummy sandwich that your mom made you before dropping you off at the mountain can be that much easier to get to. Yippee! Judging from this promo video, the bag may make you take really wide turns and ride with your arms spread spread eagle.

Snowboarding is more fun without a shirt.
With the snowboard contests all wrapped up, Monster Energy hosted a private park session at Mammoth Mountain so that its riders could get in some last-minute jibs and jumps before all the snow melted. Teddy Koo, Kohei Kudo, Ayumu Hirano, Eiju Hirano, Alek Ostreng, Torgier Bergrem, Christian Haller, Peetu Piiroinen, Sage Kotsenburg, Alex Rodway, Harrison Gordon, Kaitlyn Farrington, and Sebbe de Buck all got busy in the park and started laying the groundwork for next season.

Signal Snowboards wants you! Every Third Thursday just wrapped up its third season and Signal Snowboards founder Dave Lee is already hard at work on a "Best Of" episode. But he doesn't want to do all the work himself so he's asking for your help. Send in a 30-second response video describing your favorite episode by July 11, and it could be featured in the final edit of the "Best of Every Third Thursday."

Mountain Dew has made some pretty awesome videos as part of its Living Portraits series. This one with pro snowboarder Danny Davis has to be one of the best. I mean, come on, it has Sasquatch in it. With Sasquatch on the drums, Luke Mitrani on the flute, and Kevin Pearce on the tambourine, Davis shows what he is all about.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF DAVIS'S MOUNTAIN DEW LIVING PORTRAIT? TELL US IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.

Canadian snowboarder Mark McMorris is only 19-years-old and already has a list of achievements that most snowboarders don't attain after entire careers. McMorris was the first rider ever to land a backside triple cork 1440 and is the reigning two-time Winter X Games gold medalist in slopestyle. The Canadian snowboarder will also be looking to add some more hardware at the 2014 Winter Olympics when slopestyle makes its debut at the Games. After watching this full part from Burton Snowboards, it's hard to bet against him.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS FULL PART FROM MARK MCMORRIS? TELL US IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.

The street contest was taken to another level at the 2013 Winter X Games. Gold was taken by Louif Paradis, silver by Dylan Alito and bronze by Dylan Thompson in a heated battle. Check out the highlights from the event, also featuring Jaeger Bailey, Nick Visconti, Dan Brisse, Brandon Hobush and Jonah Owen.

Though Jussi Oksanen has been in the professional snowboarding game for a long time now, his last few years have continued to blow minds. Oksanen keeps going harder and harder in the backcountry. He undoubtedly has some of the best style there is, all evidenced in this three-year look back clip from Burton Snowboards.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF JUSSI OKSANEN'S THREE-YEAR LOOK BACK CLIP? TELL US IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.

Bode Merrill is one of the best snowboarders out right now. If there's an obstacle that he won't hit, we haven't seen it. So we're pretty excited that we'll get to see a lot more of Merrill and his snowboarding prowess on his new web series Merrill Time. There is no filler here. It is strictly snowboarding. In the first episode, Merrill shreds the streets with his buddies, attacking fences at a high volume. He also shows that it's not just motocross riders who can use water parks for something other than their intended use.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MERRILL TIME? TELL US IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.

Bjorn Leines and crew know how to go on a European vacation. With fellow Rome riders Thomas Delfino, Flo Achenrainer, Angus Leith, and Bernie Kraxner, the team piled into an RV and headed through the Austrian Alps searching for shred. Even though it took some searching, the snowboarders still found some powder and also used any bit of snow they came across to create some unique features.

The inspiration behind Volcom's new video True To This was to combine the company's love and support for all boardsports into one offering. OK, maybe not "all" boardsports. There is no Boogie boarding or kiteboarding or mountain boarding in the video. But there is lots of skateboarding, snowboarding and surfboarding. You know, the good ones. True To This comes 20 years after Volcom's first multi-sport video Alive We Ride came out in 1993. To mark the occasion, Volcom built a miniramp in the middle of the ocean. Because Volcom.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE TRAILER FOR TRUE TO THIS? TELL US IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.

Is there any kind of board that Shaun White can't ride? The skateboarder and snowboarder shows off his skills on a surfboard in this latest clip. White brings the same style he has on the vert ramp and the slopes to the water at Third Point Malibu. He also gets to dry himself with a nice naked lady towel and pet some ducks. Ah, summer days with Shaun White.

The Nike rider went H.A.M. on his swallowtail board while filming for the Never Not video.
Austin Smith was in Japan two years ago and saw lots of snowboarders in the lift line using handmade swallowtail boards. Smith decided to try his hand at making his own custom board out of wood when he returned home. He discovered that making snowboards is harder than it looks. Luckily, he was able to convince his board sponsor, Nitro Snowboards to make a swallowtail snowboard for him with a short, fat shape. While filming for Nike Snowboarding's Never Not video, Smith thought he might just use the board on one or two powder days. He ended up riding it about 50 percent of the time.

Quiksilver gave hellman snowboarder Dan "Danimals" Liedahl a camera at the beginning of the season and asked him to film his entire season. That includes all the antics, night vision, and shredding you would expect from Liedahl (as well as Jake Olson-Elm). Enjoy these bonus parts from Quiksilver's new film Take It Easy.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF DANIMALS' BONUS FOOTAGE FROM TAKE IT EASY? LET US KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.

"Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" and Signal Snowboards Every Third Thursday team up this month to merge the world's number-one first person shooter game with snowboarding action and custom tactical equipment. Check out the full action play cut now featuring authentic "Black Ops 2" graphics provided by Treyarch studios and Signal Snowboards custom bulletproof snowboard shield.

Heath Pinter takes you on an epic day of snowboarding and dirt with a star studded cast of BMX'ers. Many people know Heath as a stylish dirt jumper and trail building perfectionist, but his roots in snowboarding go way back. Before he was making a dime in the BMX world Heath was throwing down in Tahoe and still loves shredding Bear with the homies! Guest appearances by Mike Escamilla, Andrew Lazaruk, Jared Eberwein, TJ Ellis and Corey Bohan!

Poaching urban snowboard spots is always a gamble. Check out the security troubles the Deja Vu crew run into in Finland at this double rail set up before snowboarder Louif Paradis even has a chance to strap in. Will Lavigne won't let the session go to waste and does his best to smooth things over eventually convincing the manager to allow them just 15 minutes to lock down a clip. Under the watchful eye of security, Louif nails his trick and clocks out for the day! Job well done.
