Jade Whirley Kills it with a Winch

Faction Boardshop rider Jade Whirley has been traveling all over with his newly founded video/photo production company Phun Promotions. Although this video was shot in Texas, it shows you the possibilities if you have a winch! Even if you are broke with no boat, there is always something to ride when you a winching. Jade shows us several ways to enjoy otherwise useless water, and even throws a sick Tantrum off the falls. Check out the video by clicking the “read more” link below or by clicking the image above.

Amazing Wakeboard Video with GoPro

Ryan Taylor is a very well known photographer around the Twin Cities.  You will spot him at most Minnesota events no matter if it is skateboarding, wakeboarding, or snowboarding.  I’ve always been blown away by his work with a still camera, but this video truly shows his skills in video editing too.  This was filmed on a GoPro HD camera which is actually pretty affordable.  I bet this video will make you want to buy one…  Watch the video here by clicking the “read more” link below or by clicking the image above.

New Local Brand – Hidden Apparel

Recently, I was introduced to a small apparel company which is based out of Rosemount, Minnesota.  This small company is called Hidden and is really something you should check out.  Hidden was nice enough to send out a sample of their product to us and I can’t say enough good things about it.  They sent us out the “Stash” hat which is an amazing design and it follows it up with tons of great details all over.  Who doesn’t love mustaches and goggles?!?!  The hat was also packaged in a Hidden branded box with a personal note inside, it’s not everyday you see a special touch like that.  Save up your lunch money, and please support this great local brand.  Check out their website at www.hiddenapparel.com.  Click the “Read More” link below for more detailed pictures of the Hidden Apparel “Stash” hat.

Celebrate Earth Day with Damage

Damage Boardshop in Duluth is encouraging everybody to take a part in Earth Day 2010.  They are asking everybody to please not use a motorized vehicle for the whole day today.  This means you can take your skateboard, bike, rollerskates, or whatever wheeled toy you might have.  Damage is then inviting everybody to the Northstar Pub at 7pm for a little evening fun run which you shouldn’t miss.  It’s always fun terrorizing the streets with a pack of skaters.  Even if you aren’t in Duluth, please try and ditch your motor for as long as possible today just to say thanks to the earth.
