Snowboarder Mag | Sick Days

tmez — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 08:56:47 +0000

I got together a few of my favorite riders and Huggy at Snowboarder Mag to do a feature here in South Lake. We spent a few days on a friend’s 15 acre playground where we found a couple pockets of powder that didn’t fall victim to the Sierra sun. Thanks to J Rob, Cocard and Garrity, Aba and Huggy for making the best of it!

These are from the December 2011 issue of Snowboarder Magazine, in the Sick Days column.

Frigid Frontside Airs

tmez — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 06:11:30 +0000

Winter in Tahoe hasn’t been favorable. Temperatures are as cold as they should be, making the lack of snow even harder on the locals. Right now I could care less, one reason being that we’re still skating the outdoor! Slams are like hitting ice, and gloves are necessary. As usual Little Be was ripping, and with the lower sun came new shadows. Nosebones? Liens? Methods? Tight.

Combining thousands of samples and breakbeats from a vast variety of genres, my brother Tactik has just released his new album, Amplify. With years in the making, I couldn’t be more proud of where he has come from and the sound that he is now producing.

Kick back and feel the sounds make their way through yourself. My favorite tracks are Organik, Faded Away, Last Kiss & Below the Surface.

San Francisco Downtown Throwdown

tmez — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 05:42:56 +0000

While everyone in our online fantasy world is drooling over powder photos from Colorado, or landing strip of death photos from Boreal’s opening day, masses still craving the warmth came to San Francisco for the first ever Downtown Throwdown outside of Seattle. There couldn’t have been a much better setting as October typically offers Summer-like conditions (75F) in the city.

Just like any other perfectly groomed landing strip open for business in California, there was no shortage of dudes wanting a piece. It seemed as if none of the riders took the summer off, as an onslaught of tricks were thrown down right from the start. From circus acts like front board to backside rodeo off the pole jam from Ryan Paul, to tech tricks like hardway 180 switch 5050 to bs 360 out from Nick Visconti. There was no shortage of solid ass snowboarding where a lot of it’s roots originated from in the skate mecca that is San Francisco. Even Jake Phelps from Thrasher came out for a peak of the downtown bro-down.
