Addison Copeland Casual Hats for Casual People
Are you so laid back people think you have narcolepsy? The Elm Co. can help you. Keep chillin' with the Addison Copeland Hat. A chapeau that tells alot by being so simple. One style and three colors to choose from, a plethora of choices. Be not perplexed by vocabulary, this hat is cool. There is the checkered one, black white gingham, the gray with purple tigery stripes, purple flocked twill, and then you have the black denim one, they call it black denim. The Elm Company uses obvious terminology when giving you choices in sombreros.
Ging⋅ham [ging-uhm] –noun: yarn-dyed, plain-weave cotton fabric, usually striped or checked

Nikita Set the Airbags Off
*Warning this product can not be used as an actual Supplemental Restraint System* So why did Nikita call this coat the Airbag? Hard to say. You want a ass kicking jacket, you're going to get it. If you are one of those ladies that is not afraid to go deep you gotta get this one. Solid on the out side with a touch of gentleness inside. Lycra hand jobbies and a warm fuzzy neck line. Good hood! Maybe I want this jacket. All around, this simply striped jacket will save fashion lives better than the airbags in my '94 Subaru.
Perhaps Nikita will make some boy stuff one day.

Rome SDS and Solsticesupply, New Buddies
Rome Snowboards just hooked us up with some new goodies. Today the boards arrived and they are as rockered as they come. Plus a 164 swallow tail for those junk deep days. The Pusher has reverse free camber tech to let you use the mountain as a gigantic park. Straight camber at the nose and tail for lots of control on the groom. The Postermania board has some sick old school movie poster top sheets. Pop rocks technology gives this one the ollietastic jibbishness to leave the girls screamin'. Both these boards are so new closeout its insane. 2010 boards in 2010. Solsticesupply.com is your outlet store for AWESOME!

The Duke, No not John Wayne
It's a Nixon watch with style that's cooler than Mr. Wayne, The Duke. Red with a fat leather band and a diamond,(It's real!!!) you can't get a simpler watch. However, it is analog, meaning you must be able to tell time by using the big and small hands. That reminds me of an MJ joke, big hand and small hand. This is a true fashion piece plus it tells time. Crap, if that don't beat all. Blanket would wear one. How old is that kid anyway?
RIP MJ. No offense just funny jokes.

Dude, Where's my Dundas
I'm not exactly sure where IS Design got there name for these shades but I did some research and here is what I found. The Dundas were a clan in Scottland. Robert, the head of things, did alot of good stuff and helped form the United Kingdom. Awesome! Now you can answer that one when you play Trivial Pursuit. But the sunglasses are choice. Retro stlye with a medium fit. Solid hardware with a case and wipey as bonus gifts. The White Pinstripes have a grey gradient lens and the Purple Cobra has the smoke lens. Both totally keep the sun and pesky on lookers out of your eyes. Pass the duche, throw on your Dundas, and shred the world.
If you don't like riding in sunnies, we have goggles too.

The Elm Monster
Obviously it is a beanie, or tocque if you live North of me. I know your thinking, what is the deal with the eyes? They are there to help you fend off predatory animals in the forest, duh. Besides that perk, this hat fits awesome. No reservoir tip four inches off your bald spot, just a nice size pom, also to ward away those pesky varmints. Black with a jagged white stripe, I think the Elm Monster Beanie whoops up on the Jagged. If not for you, maybe get it for a rug monkey you want not eaten in the woods.
Watch out for the Skunk Ape. He's real.

Airgoggles, Good for the Face and Wallet
Airblaster did good when they started making the Airgoggle. Plenty of street cred and all sorts of goggle tech. Of course, Airblaster makes them in a whole bunch of colors. Poppy, Sand, Ocean, like looking at a box of Crayolas. Keep the frame the same, genius. Then you have the ProAm models. Different colors and cool ass custom strappage. Your piggy bank won't need to get broke into for these either. Grab a pair, match your kit, save money, buy some extra lenses, we have those too.
The Airgoggle, so much for so little!

Forest Down Get Down off the Hill
Don't you need a jacket for those Winter activities off the slopes? Holden Outerwear is so stylish you won't even need to go home to change after a long day of riding. From the trunk to the bar, the Forest Down Jacket is your go to. Super insulated on the inside with a faux fur lined hood. No animal cruelty on this one. This thing is basically a nylon hoodie that will keep you warm on any winter night. Three colors and endless possibilities. Take out the Forest Down, head down to your local rail jam, score big with any up and comer.
Holden, Celery is not an appealing color name, descriptive though.

Reports say Danny has a back injury. He was admitted to the hospital today in Utah after the Dew Tour stop at Snow Basin. Olympics? Who is going to take Shaun White down? America needs a new snowboarding hero. One that is more like us and less like a snowboarding robot. Check the vid, hilarious!

Straight Up Straightline Jacket
Don't vertical stripes make you look thinner? The Nikita Straitline jacket will make you look like a twig, vert stripes all over. This coat looks like a shell but no ma'am. Internally puffy and cozy. A tall hood on top to fit over your massive beanie pom. But that's not all. When you buy this jacket you also get pockets. Damn, pockets, tell me more. Two up top inside and out, an arm pass holster, a gigantic goggle one, two on the low down and one that is small and on the down low. Nikita knows what's up. If you order now you will also get sweet thumb snuggly cuffs. Don't wait, order now, while supplies last. And if you order in the next 20 minutes you will also receive Solsticesupply.com stickers. Just call 541-647-3795 operators are standing by.
You can call but the orangutans don't have good penmanship, your order may take longer.

GNU BTX 4 DA STREET
The Street series from GNU has a true skate feel. Are you stuck in the Mid part of the country with nothing else to do but jib some rails down at the local elementary school? This board is what you need. 149 cm is barely bigger than your skate deck. Except this stick has the pop and flex to give you that super ollie the nose press across the court house steps. Jib the nation.
GNU also intends this ride to make it to the hill. BTX rides like nothing else in the fresh. Center yourself between your feet and point it through any flat you got. Get the Street and get off the street.
A six inch day, what can I say!

You Holden? Yeah, Westin Stripes
Mostly striped, the Holden Weston Stripes lives up to its stripped named. All the stripes should keep the H20 away. 10K hydrophobic and 80/20 DWR. DWR WTF? DWR is a fancy acronym for Durable Water Repellency. You can wash the jacket 20 times and after the 20th time through the Maytag your still going to have 80% of the H2O outside, not in. Is that cool? Yes it is.
I like the fit of Holden gear but if you want this coat to give you some breathing room, I would go one size bigger than norm. I usually fit my fat ass into a Medium. With the Weston Stripes, I'd rock the Large. Again, I am 5'9" close to a buck eighty, chest size 42", and I like long walks on the beach.
One part of this coat that gave me a chub is the hood arrangement. Nice tall collar to bury your nose in when the weather outside gets frightful. Layer up under the stripes, pull that hood up and get your DWR on.
Remember Bill Murray in Stripes, classic.

Its Not a Figment, the Sidecuts are Different
But it is a Figment, Artec's all mountain freestyle master. Omega sidecut is Artec's answer to making both turns equally slashy. A directional twin shape made up of two different sidecuts. The heel edge has a shorter effective edge, that's the length of edge contact to the snow, in lay mans words. This makes the heel turn easier for ya. Easier you say, I love easy, I'm a snowboarder. We know. So when the trick turns switch you'll notice the ease of taking off heels for that front rodeo five. It also has a blunt tip to reduce the weight of swing. Again lay man, that makes it easier to do the spinny tricks. Don't worry you'll know which way to mount it. It has a detailed instruction manual printed on the side wall. If you don't know what a side wall is then you don't need to be riding this thing.
Take it easy you're a knuckle dragger.

What Airblaster gear has a Pterry Logo?
Pterry has been a mascot for Airblaster for ages. The Pterry logo is one of the best in the industry, no offense Airpill. Not all the Airblaster gear has this coveted logo. You want to know which piece has it? Well let me tell you something.
The Javier Jacket, the Hip Bag Pant, the Radigal Jacket, and of course the Terry Hoodie. Be cool, wear Terry on ya and celebrate the awesomeness of an extinct tailless flying reptile.
You know Pterry hangs out on gearSlash.com.

Break out the Outbreaks on the Cold Days
Breaking out of the cold is the Celtek Outbreak glove. Celtek makes some bomber gloves and these are the bomberest. With a heat rating of 9 out of 10, these gloves keep hands toasty. 20k water resistance to keep your piggys dry too. What if your hands get to warm? Then take out the removable liners or just ride with the liners on, they're almost pipe glove worthy. Purple Haze is my color of choice but the Graphite looks slick too. Ride with them, clear freezing fog off with them, wipe snot with them, show off with them, just do something with them. If you need a place to put something small, maybe something you need for the fixed grip chair ride, this glove has you covered. Don't let the germs scare you, they are friends with Celtek.
El Nino must be Spanish for rainy winter.

Holden 3L the Shell from Hell
Hope the H-E-double hockey sticks doesn't tick anyone off. Easy there, Thumper. The Holden 3L Jacket keeps you drier than Death valley in August. Taped up, sealed down, almost air tight. Except for the incredible breath-i-ness of the C_Change fabric , shit tons of fabric technology inside. The mens version is the Northfeild 3L and the chicks get the Flynn 3L. Plus the pants, don't forget the whole suit effect.
Holden gave the Northfield jacket a classic cut. Not too skinny not too gansta. I always talk about pockets. I just love sticking my stuff in stuff, pockets. There is a pocket on the outside under the zipper flap that has a stash pocket for your tune playing device with the little slit to run the chord up to your head flaps. Fiddle with the playlist with ease and keep the pod free of H2O damage.
Ladies your coat is sama sama, same in Indo. The Agua Zip tech zippers seem to perform with gentle smoothness in all conditions. The Flynn 3L is more fit to accentuate your mountain womanliness. Or you could layer up to get that "I'm totally 21" effect. 3L for life to keep your C footprint low.
I am going full Cinder 3L. Blend in, stay obscure.

Flux Feedback Binders, So Pink, So Good
I put some Flux Feedback foot straps on my ride today, love 'em. My TRS loved them too. When I first put them on I was blinded by the pink leopard print strappage. Peg Bundy creams over these. I hate flash but I dig on these bindings. Freeriding is my preference with some park runs thrown in there. First day on these bad boys was all about wet park boxes and a couple booters. The Feedbacks held strong through all situations. Tweakable but solid in the schmank. I ride a size 8.5 boot with no foot volume what so ever. Damn skinny feet. So I am rockin' a size Small. I tried a medium but bottomed out the ankle strap. Just a tip for your next Flux order. If you love to transform your hill into a jib park like me, get these bindings.
Married with Children is still good twenty years later.

Woytuk Jackets = Not Puffy Atmosphere
Woytuk is defined in the Urban Dictionary as, " Some one who lies to girls convincing them that they are professional athletes especially in extreme sports such as snowboarding and rollerblading." Your not that guy, right? Of course not, you shop at Solsticesupply.com. But that is not the point here. This Woytuk jacket is slick as shit. A great shell for all your layering possibilities. The pockets on front make for easy access to all the things you're carrying. Plus some pocketry inside for all the stuff you don't want fallin' out and such. I love the wrist gators too. Deep and long, oh yeah baby. We have three colors to chose from so you can match the jacket up to the rest of your costume. Woytuk is also this killer bronze sculptor. But we don't give no never mind.
How's your twenty ten hangin? Not still hung are you?
Get Well Soon, Kevin Pearce
Our thoughts are for a brother of shred, Kevin Pearce. He sounds like he is stable. Good thing he had his helmet on when trying to do some double cork something in the pipe. Good luck to him. Next time you take a run, do it for Kevin.
