Where Do I get Cheap Snowboarding Gear? gearSlash.com!!!
If you don't know, then you should. While shopping at solsticesupply.com have you noticed the gearSlash.com Icon on the product page? You can save tons of loot by watching the deals role through and even vote for what you want to see on sale next. We've had some snowboards on there for as little as $89! One of our regulars hit up a whole setup for under $200. Can anyone stop us? I think not.

I'm Going to Start Wearing Women's Gloves
We just got the sickest spring gloves, but they are for ladies. The XL will fit me though, hmmm? The Lotus gloves by Dakine feel like putting on a golf glove. Smooth, supple, just nice on the flesh mitts. Leather all over with a good cuff to keep the ice chunks out. The name Dakine says it all. There are only a few XL's girls, you better hurry before the boys snatch 'em up.
This Is Better than MXC!!!

In my endless search to find GOOD videos I come across myriads of helmet cam shots, although the camera on the end of the pole is kinda cool, all of it makes me want to yak. Keep the helmet cam for YOUR memories only. Or stand at the take off to every booter and just turn your head to follow a rider with real talent. My best idea yet is to put your camera so it pokes out of your fly, Schlong Cam, someone send me one of those.
Alas, two retarded Japanese kids is pretty funny to watch. I thought they were going to hit the rail, maybe not. Urban jibbing taken to the extreme!

Intervals of Fun And Work
Here is the scenario. You are on your way to school. Lame. You check the surf report and the waves are kickin'. Grab your Interval Pack from your friends at DaKine, throw your laptop and your wetsuit in and your off. Maybe to school, maybe to the beach, we don't care. This pack comes with all sorts of pockets. One for sunnies, one for your laptop, your calculator, a water resistant pocket for keeping your tunes dry, plus an extra waterproof pouch to put that wetsuit in, or your wet snow gear. Skip class and go have fun. Being smart is for dummies.
There is No Good Videos of Snowboarding Today
OMG Can you help us find some good stuff. Send me your videos to solsticesupply@gmail.com. Put "I have a sick ass video" in the subject slot. Maybe I send you something good, if you send me something good.

Is This the Sickest Snowskate or What?
Mervin Mfg. is famous for their boards and skis. Now they have a dope ass snowskate to add to their awesome line of products. This skate won the "Shut Up and Snowskate" contest in WA and that probably won't be the last. 43 inches of deck with nice grippy rubber to hold you on. Then the mini BTX snowboard underneath is what gives this snowskate the skateboard feel that the competition lacks. Snowskating makes even the lamest snow not so lame.

Set Up of the Week
We just got this stuff in. The GNU Street series board and bindings are so street, but they really work well off the street too. Mid range flex on the board give it pressablity for butterific rail fun. The binders are light and are way tricked out. The Fastec system will get you in there faster than the zipper dropping on prom night. I like the graphics, they remind me of me and my pops. Oh, that first drag out at the lake when I was seven. Never forget it. Smoking is bad, ok. Get this kit and shred the gnar, or the street if you have no gnar close.
Solstice Goes On The Road
Recently part of the Solstice Supply crew headed up to The Mervin MFG facility in Sequim, Wash to pick up some product for the online store. It's a long drive from Bend, OR with great scenery along the way as we drove up the Olympia Peninsula. On the trip back we stopped by Holden in Downtown Portland, OR and then went up the Columbia Gorge to the Dakine headquarters -- Eventually making our way home to Bend and dropping off the goods at our warehouse to distribute to shredders worldwide.
Justin - Motoring through a tree and up onto a banana peel.
Travis - Making it look really easy. Eyes on the camera, not on the road.
Loads of Hope for Shredders Worldwide.

So many baggies just came in today. Big ones, little ones, the finest in color and smell. Wait, the backpacks don't smell. What is going on? Sorry, short term memory loss. Dakine packs and womens gloves arrived and we are stoked to have a new hook up with the folks at Dakine. All this stuff is going straight to my head. I have to go chill out. Get Dakine, we did.
