Layback slug life style. Haters gonna hate, players gonna lay down...

-It's also come to my attention that one or multiple people(s) have it out for me for supporting gingers and/or being "A STRAiT MARK ASS BITCH". Based on the percentage of caps lock being used, we can only assume this is Tanner's press agent. I can only say that I look forward to the "FUCK DUNFEE MIXTAPE IN 2014" or any other content of your choosing you feel the world needs to see, which can be forwarded to ryan@brobomb.com.

Feb 26th 2014 - 5 comments

Ten minutes of J Lev talking with Jon Hartley during a spring park day at Stowe several seasons ago. J Lev talks about the era of “snowboard parks,” the epiphany he had about center-mounting his skis for the first time, and the first time he tried a 180 on his 203-centimeter Rossis, and making “a ski like a snowboard” in college. Hit play and go off to tend to your basil; it’s a good listen.

Know Your (Sort of) Roots - I Feel Ghood

Feb 25th 2014 - 27 comments

I'm going to date myself by saying this, but I Feel Ghood was one of the first edits that I watched religiously after becoming a freeskier. It doesn't feel like that long ago at all, but in my defense it was (almost) five years ago. And looking back on it now, in the afterglow of freeskiing's inauguration on the world stage in Sochi, it seems like it's been an eternity.

It should be considered a small cultural victory that Bear Mountain - snowboarding's most hallowed grounds as well as center of goofy summer/winter hybrid fashion - has come out with its own dedicated ski web series...

It would appear that everyone and their mom were not the only people to make the obligatory Keystone visit this January. Antti Ollila, about whom we'd posted once before, made sure to stop by and drop some serious knowledge on Area 51, which is a welc...

Nick McNutt's Co-Lab Segment

Dec 23rd 2013 - 2 comments

Nick McNutt was one of the undisputed standouts of the inaugural Co-Lab field. With an ability to land and ski switch in powder that has rarely been matched since his idol Pep Fujas began doing it ten years ago, McNutt had the most creative segment, and his nosebutter take-offs, giant switch landings, and uncanny ability to flow through pillow fields earned him his place among the dozen entries to make the final Co-Lab film now available on iTunes.

  Welcome to America's second-ugliest city! Plus, a giant copper mine in the background! There is simply too much going on in the current ski industry not to write an extended rambling journal entry that would make anyone with a basic handle on s...

Shane McFalls' Douche Chill of the Week

Dec 2nd 2013 - 0 comments

“The 2013 season has been my most challenging year to date. I dislocated my hip in January, making me sit out the rest of the year. My first and last time I’ll be out for the season.” This video touches lightly on what it takes to recover from a serious injury and return to skiing. While I’m know eating shit super hard and making a full recovery is challenging (dislocated hips are legit), this is the possibly the lamest way to remind your sponsors you still exist.

A few thoughts on the "Nate Abbot phenomenon"

by BroBomb
Nov 27th 2013 - 1 comments

It has recently come to light to the broader public that ski media often has a difficult time producing negative reviews of almost anything in skiing. Freeskier’s senior editor Nate Abbot first published a slightly trembling Facebook post asking if he should post a critical review of a ski movie, to which the resounding reply was “yes.” He then went on to produce a review of the street skiing segment in Into The Mind on his personal blog, which he criticized as containing little of the magical charm and incredible skiing of JP’s original creative street segment in All.I.Can, and largely cast it as an ad so Sherpas could land a Visa commercial.
