Introducing Jed Anderson

 I didn’t realize this video was 6 years old. Anyways this is pretty much the reason I continued to snowboard back in the day (6 years ago I guess). Back when snowboarding was dominated by the OG’s it was more of a backcountry scene that you would watch in videos. Don’t get me wrong there was urban jibbing, but it felt like in order to be a snowboarder you had to send huge backcountry jumps. Which looked really fun, but was always more of a dream like maybe if I get better somehow I’ll be able to do that stuff. When Jed Anderson came out with this video (which was apparently filmed in 3 days) it opened my mind up to the potential of being able to snowboard. I was witnessing a skinny dude doing arguably the most stylish/technical tricks I’ve ever seen. It was at that moment that I realized skinny dudes can still snowboard and have fun, and it’s been history ever since. Almost every trick in this video is done with skate style that looked so fun to be able to do. If you pay attention to what tricks he does regular/switch you will be surprised. Jed Anderson pretty much started a revolution after this video and it’s not hard to tell a lot of kids took notes. Safe to say Jed is the king of skate style snowboarding and continues to push the game with every part he drops. Do some homework and buy some Videograss movies.

SiTP 2012: 17

Sunday In The Park 2012 Episode 17 by Transworld

 All the Sunday in the Park edits from 2012 got me so hyped to go to Bear Mountain. Watching Brett Wilkinson every Sunday was pure gold. One of my favorite riders to watch, Sunday in the Park could only be Wilky and it would be way better. Just watch all the other SITP’s in 2012 and watch how he rips Bear. The sunny California vibes are the real deal, and luckily I got to check it out for a month in 2013. One of the best moves I ever made, I would recommend it to anybody that loves to snowboard. Pretty much always sunny, perfect conditions. Not to mention the entire mountain is littered with park features. Truly a boarders paradise. Get to Bear Mountain you won’t regret it. Wilky shows us why he reps bear and just cruises the park with effortless style. Bluntslide 270 sameway, followed up by a bluntslide 450 sameway. A perfectly cracked Ollie over the stair feature that looks so fun. Other than that their was some other honorable mentions but you should definitely check out the rest of the Sunday in The Park videos to see more Wilkinson shots. Beef also does a sick job filming and editing all the Sunday in The Parks at Bear Mountain so shout out to Beef for holding it down. Be sure to check out Beef’s project Avante Garden as well. –The Rat

Loonatics Episode 9 from Keep The Change

Loonatics Episode 9 from Keep The Change on Vimeo.
http://vimeo.com/21785573
Keep The Change is one of the best snowboard crews around. Coming from Loon Mountain, New Hampshire they have built up a solid amount of videos proving their come up. With Loonatics to Friendly Fire, and now a professional video production crew. Keep The Change have made their mark on the industry and are helping to push snowboarding in the right direction. 

I chose to post Loonatics Episode 9 because it really captures some innovative hammers. Super clean riding from start to finish, and amazing camera work is what really gets me. The filmer for Keep The Change is one of the best in the business, and truly captures skate style snowboarding, shoutout Skyler. These videos are so well filmed and edited it actually doesn’t matter what trick is happening because it is just so cool to look at.

Opening the video is Mike Rav with some nifty maneuvers like that tailpress closeout wallie backside 180 which I really enjoyed. Backside 360 to frontside 360 the creeper wall was also a standout. Cole St. Martins backside 360 50-50 frontside 180 out was also pretty cool. Then the boss Brendon Rego shows off his buttery style with nollie backside 180 on, nollie front board, frontside 360 on, and a perfect nollie back tail sameway 270. Dylan Dragotta got a well deserved ender for this edit by putting down some of the most stylish tricks with ease. His cab 270 line to back 270 nosegrab was classic. Followed by tearing apart the creeper wall with backside 180 hardway 360 out, cab 360 on cab 360 out, and a hardway frontside 360 on backside 360 out was mind numbing.

Keep The Change dudes are true park rats and hold it down for the sport. Go buy their newest video “Homage”.  Looking forward to more edits. –The Rat
