A nice little review from the crew over at TGR.

It’s really hard to go wrong with any Dragon goggles. From the discontinued Mace goggles (my favorite goggles for many years) to the Rogues (the TJ Schiller version super sick!) to the full-size APX goggles, they’re all killer. Well, this season I received a brand new pair of Dragon Gigi Ruf APXs goggles and these quickly moved up into my top spot for Dragon goggles.

Danny Davis teams up with Mountain Dew and Burton to build a pipe / park hybrid like you've never seen before... Now this is pretty cool. Way to go Dan.

The latest from Lucas Debari.

It has been a wild ride since we left the Falkland Islands over a week ago. Now that we are not puking our brains out and are within the protection of the small bays and inlets, we have had the opportunity to switch our focus to snowboarding.

Despite the many distracting endeavors required for us to be here, that is after all why we are here!

There are but a few riders out there that really make snowboarding look fun. With his childish grin and spontaneous style, Gigi Rüf is surely one of them. Watching the 31 year old Austrian take apart a full-blown berserker line in Alaska often has the same feel good appeal as witnessing him crush some mellow pillows in his Arlberg backyard.

In its premiere episode, follow Gigi, Luke, and snow icon Wolle Nyvelt as they venture to the Advanced Projects X Cabin in Silverton, Colorado, for springtime shredding and goggle testing with Dragon’s product development team. Sitting at 12,000 feet above sea level, this off-the-grid facility is where Dragon athletes find untracked lines all winter long while pushing the limits to help create technologically advanced goggles, including the APX and NFX frames.
“Coming out to Silverton to test new product in the blazing sun or chest deep snow is necessary for figuring out how a goggle will perform in rough conditions,” says Gigi. “It’s always a good time when you’re out at the cabin. Tons of fun, deep snow, and good people. It’s the ultimate testing facility.”

Lucas Debari, Kael Martin, Blake Paul and Alex Yoder are making a movie this winter. Sam Tuor, the man behind the movie "Manifest," about the late Aaron Robinson, will be in tow to film all the antics as the five of them live their snowboarding dreams whilst crammed into a Subaru Loyale.

Forest Bailey won the 2012 Burton Rail Days contest in Japan on Saturday. Set in the heart of downtown Tokyo, this year's urban rail jam was the largest outdoor snowboard event ever held in the city's history.

In the end, Bailey took the win with a 50/50 closeout transfer to lipslide, earning him top honors and $15,000.  Congrats Forest!!!

To say Mammoth got dumped on would be a bit of an understatement... They got straight pounded with snow. From the first pics we saw coming from Mammoth it looked like the typical "White Ribbon of Death" with crappy weather to boot. The following day Mammoth received close to 2 feet of snow making it one of the better openers they have seen. Chris Benchetler snapped this pic of Gabe Taylor just to prove how good it was.... Fingers crossed for more snow...

Dragon shreds Blake Paul and Alex Yoder made a trek down to South America this past Summer to see if they could get some POW... No real POW was had, but it looks like a pretty good time for sure... Click HERE for the full story.

Nimbus launched “En Route: Hokkaido”, a look at last year’s trip to Japan, earlier this month. Some of the shots of them smashing night pow and slamming sushi didn’t make the first cut for the edit, but they’ve put together a second round video. Even Nimbus’ JV team looks pretty good.

The Givin Video premier of "Too" went down last week in Laguna Beach, CA. Check out what Snowboarder Magazine had to say in regards to Forest Bailey's 2 song ender...

Speaking of ending segments, Forest Bailey finally put together the video part of his life. I’ve always been a huge advocate of Forest, and not necessarily because of his innate natural ability on a board. He’s humble, incredibly genuine, and he epitomizes what I believe a professional snowboarder should represent, both on and off the hill. Well, his part couldn’t contrast his mellow persona any more that it does. Forest not only steps to some of the gnarliest street shit I’ve seen in a long time, but he also earns his keep in the pow. Back seven Japans on backcountry jumps, a knuckledraggin’ session on the summit of a mountain, rail-to-rail transfers, and a ridiculous ender/ender that left most people in the theater speechless when the credits started rolling. -T Bird, Snowboarder Magazine
