Last week the world got its first glimpse of a snowboard quadruple cork when Billy Morgan put down a backside 1800 variant, opening the controversial floodgates in the process. Now, just over 72 hours removed from that monumental chapter in snowboard history, French-Canadian booter boy Max Parrot added his own footnote with a motion-sickness inducing switch quadruple underflip 1620, which you can watch in all of its mind-numbing glory above. Morgan fans will note that Parrot's version was pretty much a straight quad backflip (a la Horgmo's earliest triples), while Parrot supporters will now doubt cite Morgan's hand-drag as cause for concern. No matter which way you splice it, however, both these tricks can be summed up with one simple word: Gnarly.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, the Signal Snowboards crew teamed up with the Keep-A-Breast (KAB) foundation in an episode that's all about feeling boobs! In an effort to do their part to bring a little education, fun, and snowboarding to a very serious subject, Signal and KAB Founder Shaney Jo Darden create a custom Breast Cast of Signal graphics leader Meg Smith (Meg sheds her shirt!), and build a custom Bra Board. Model Susan Holmes McKagen makes a surprise appearance to help with the snowboard build. And when the Bra Board is ready to shred, the lacy lingerie is handed off to Signal snowboarders Melissa Riitano, Katie Williams, and Jamie Madrid for the most important part of the build—a thorough exam on snow at California's Mountain High resort. Make it a monthly habit girls! And do your part to donate to educate: http://keep-a-breast.org/get-involved/donate/

Every Third Thursday Graphics Girl Meg Smith is cute, funny, and loves tattoos and yoga. She's never shy to say what's on her mind and always willing to help a project along. Everyone loves Meg... and not just because she brings delicious vegan snacks to work. Find out more about Meg in this episode.

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!

Snowboards have traditionally been made of wood, resin, laminates, and P-Tex—until now! The Signal Snowboard's factory crew, led by Founder Dave Lee give the board presses a rest this month and instead print out a brand new snowboard! Using new 3D printer technology, Dave Lee and Signal Engineer Jeb Ferria input a basic CAD drawing along with a carbon-based powder into a state of the art Plastic Laser Sintering Machine—the end result is a radical powder gun (no not that kind of gun—a snowboard) ready for riding in the steep and deep of Colorado. Signal Teamrider Matt Guess and Dave Lee put the board through the paces, and it passes with flying powder. Another ETT success story!

Do you think this video is WTF? Rank it.
The word "random" gets thrown around so much it's lost some of its impact. But there is no other way to describe what Finnish snowboarder Anssi Soininen did. Soininen landed a backflip on his snowboard while playing Guns N' Roses' "Paradise City" on the mandolin. And, oh yeah, he was wearing a suit.
What do you think of Soinenen's backflip? Tell us in the Comments.
As the saying goes, "Pic or it didn't happen." But what happens when you don't have anyone to take the picture or video? Snowboarder Ryan Knapton has a solution. He mounted a GoPro to a $20 remote control truck from Walmart and took it with him to Breckenridge to film himself snowboarding. The Maisto Rock-Crawler captured some pretty cool angles of Knapton shredding and was able to climb over obstacles with no problem. This could be the next big thing in self-filmed action sports videos.
What do you think of this remote control truck? Tell us in the Comments.
