contestants have to run up a slope, drop down the slope, disassemble their splitboards, split up the hill, then drop down the course.

why do they have to “run” up the hill first and not start off splitting :scratch: i must be missing something.

It was only about 50…[Read more]

was up on herman when that shit show on table was going on… glad to be on the other side of the valley… looks like you got it good at alpy!

yeah buddy! i like the song choice…

I’ve been using a tilopa for the past year-plus for everything from resort shooting to splitting and mountain biking. Highly recommended if you can afford the big price tag. the internal frame hugs your body instead of bouncing around like a big block of weight, as with other ones i used before. Definitely the way to go if it’s in your budget.

i did a bit of splitting around there a few years ago… definitely some big mountains with very, very few people around…

Yeah dude, saw your shot in there. With all this coverage, maybe someone should give you some free duct tape or something??

In Frequency, issue 9.2, pg 28, there was an article on some people riding in Russia – might be a good start.

Thanks for reading!

That’d be our boy snowsavage. He’s on hiatus in the Alaskan wilderness and may be difficult to get ahold of right now, however…

^ Wait a minute. Being from Santa Barbara, I was unaware that waves could break in this seemingly opposite direction. Is it kinda like when you flush a toilet in the southern hemi the water circles in the opposite direction or something? :scratch: 😆

I’ve experienced this strange phenomenon outside of port angeles. I think…[Read more]

Wore my ‘splitboarding is a fad’ shirt to the premier… was that wrong? ha.

Where in the hell did you get that shirt at? 😆

From Jones boards at the trade show. It’s a good one…

Saw the movie Tuesday in Denver at the Ellie Caukins Theater (newly remodeled), and it was awesome! Very fun night, lots of people dressed up, and lots of ladies. I was the only one there with a “Splitboarding is the answer” t-shirt though, Thanks to Will & Scrubfest! The new standard in Ski/Snowboard cinema if you ask me……

If you subscribe, just write in the comments box that you’d like to start with Issue #9.1 and it’ll go out asap. Also, use the promo code SPLITBOARD.COM and get a free frequency TSJ beanie, which will be in stock next week. Don’t think we have a shop in San Diego, as it’s generally targeted to snowy areas…

he’s got a bit of a series of articles this year… stay tuned…

Brad, glad you’re diggin it, and thanks to all for the contributions! Chris, it’s your contributors photo from a few issues back–we did a collage of all the contributors photos over the years up front, it being the ten year anniversary issue and all… thanks for the continued stoke!

i’m down to help out however i can–hit me up on pm.

sounds good. Heading up July 28, will shout out then.

whats arrowsmith looking like these days? Heading to the island in a couple weeks, thinking to walk up there, but if there was a decent amount of snow….

We went straight bushwack up the right side of the creek instead of dropping down to the bridge. Mud/slush skinning for a few mins… guessing it didn’t survive winter, unless it got buried before things started ripping big.

I had a firsthand look at the stuff at SIA. Definitely a slightly baggier cut than their ski mountaineering gear, but still trim enough for touring. Definitely not low end and pretty simple aesthetics, gore tex, no extra pockets where you don’t need them and that kind of stuff that often comes with snowboard outerwear. I will probably be riding it…[Read more]

thanks. had been touring with the brackets and no shims in the winter, but was wondering with the chomps if the spacing would get weird… ended up using the shims and worked out fine, but not sure it was necessary.
