Snowboarder visits Nagano, Japan - Nozawa / Shigakogan / Takafuji from Ryan Willmott on Vimeo.

To coincide with the Japan story that is in issue 2 of Australian Snowboarder the guys have produced a small video from the trip featuring Nick Gregory and Mitch Allan.

Mitch And His Jaws Encounter

How is the email we just got from Mitch Alllan...

"Check this out we went surfing in my boat out the front of Jervis Bay and on the way back we saw a massive school of tuna, so we pulled a few of them in and a few heads as well. So I rang the old boy and told him to meet me at the boat ramp with my big rods and went back out and caught this beast!!!

About 2 sec after this photo it went mental and hit the boat and motor, sketchy!!!!

We caught 10 more as well can't wait to get away from the coast now."

Tom And His New LOVE

Tom Pelley just got his hands on his new 2010 Burton Love 152 and so can you. Burton dealers are receiving limited numbers of 2010 Burton boards every day so visit your local Burton dealer now.

P.S It is not Tom Pelley tribute week it just happened like that for some reason.

Tom's Trigger Part

Trigger Bros Team Movie - Tom Pelley from POP Magazine on Vimeo.

Over at Popmag.com.au they have posted Tom Pelley's part from the 2007 Trigger Brothers Team movie.

Mitch And Another Cover Shot

This time the cover of a Milo cereal box, unfortunately the photo is a few years old as it was taken when Mitch Allan was hanging out with some other types. All the images are a couple of season old in the mini magazine so it should give a couple of yesterday pros a chance for one last incentive cheque.

Mitch also got the poster. This photo was taken at the Open qualifiers at Falls Creek in 2005 by Sean Radich, at least we got background props.

This double page photo features the now Burton Australia team manager and marketing guy Chris Boadle at Bear Mountain.


Just when you thought he was gone Max Cookes with one last sequence published.

Make sure you keep an eye out for Mitch and his Milo cover the next time you are doing a food shop.

A Quick NZ Trip

There was a Twitter sneak peek at the trip a couple of the crew from the office took to New Zealand last week for some early season turns and a party. The guys hit up both Mt Hutt and Ohau and scored blue skies and fresh powder to wake up their snowboard legs from a long summer of surfing.

To Camber Or Not To Camber?

That is the big question facing anyone looking at picking up a new snowboard this season. With camber technology shaking up the snowboard world it has left many asking, "what camber do I want?"

To help you out we are starting a series of interviews with our team riders about what camber they prefer. As who better to ask for advice on snowboards than someone who relies on their board to help pay the rent.

To kick off the series we have JG, Burton's board design guru explaining 2 new types of camber that Burton has on offer. The V Rocker technology and the Zero camber technology.

Game On - 2009 Season Kicks Off

The 2009 snow season kicked off this long weekend at all the Australian resorts. If you wanted to grab a few turns you had to earn them as old man winter was a little slow with the snow falls. However he has made up for it with many resorts still getting covered in snow as you read this.

Make sure you have your board ready to go as the lift lines will be starting to form any day now.

Chris De Campo On TWSNOW Again
