Belated Beanie Thursday
I promise I had every intention of getting Beanie Thursday out on Thursday, but the website I wanted to feature had to go and be all Flash, making it difficult for me to get images while at work on my PC. So, here I am, writing Beanie Thursday on Saturday. My apologies. I had seen an Elm Company cap on http://www.shreddingbetty.com before which was the first time I had heard of this company, but then when I started thinking beanies the other day I somehow ended up on their site. I had no idea that there was such a varied array of things I wanted to wear on my head waiting for me.

Brociety debuts! Another way to break the bank
Backcountry Corp. has come up with yet another way to get us to open our pocketbooks and spend the last couple days leading up to payday scrounging our cupboards for the likes of ramen or tunafish. This new One-deal-at-a-time (ODAT) website is called Brociety and focuses on snowboarding instead a wide variety of boarding sports like Whiskey Militia. I think they are going to be able to come up with a million different specializations before they’re done, but I have to say I’m sickly ok with it.

Beanie Thursday Hijacked!
Today, as I was browsing around MySpace friend requesting random people who looked like snowboarders and appeared to be female, and I came across the cutest, neonest shop ever. They’re from Slovenia, so I can’t understand any of the writing, and am forced to just randomly click on things… but that’s not really that distressing, because there are so many fun and cute things to look at. What is distressing: I’m not sure I’ll be able to decipher the shopping cart section.

Redbull Snowscrapers
This past Thursday, Feb. 5th, Red Bull hosted a massive snowboard contest entitled Red Bull Snowscrapers. It was held in NYC’s East River Park. Some of the most dominating guys in snowboarding were listed on the roster. The diverse group of riders included contest phenom Shaun White, backcountry veteran Travis Rice, and Norwegian legend Terje Haakonsen. These are only a few of the powerhouses that showed up to NYC that night, but all came sharing a common goal: to conquer what would go down in snowboard history as the first ever hip jump contest. Red Bull erected a massive nine story drop-in ramp, and an eighty foot hip. All lit up against the back drop of the East River, that mountain of a jump was a sight to be seen.

WTF - Are you a Bitch?
Since Bitchboards opened their doors, we’ve been in full support of them, despite some nagging questions. We tested their boards, and kept our negative feedback off Shred Betties, to give them a chance to rectify the major design flaws. The boards had a sense of amateurishness to them - they were too stiff, too wide, and quite poorly constructed. They’ve since changed their manufacturer, so we’ve given them the benefit of the doubt. We figure us ladies should support one another, right?

Inaugural Hoodie Tuesday
Yesterday we were on the eve of history, and today that history was made. This inaugural Tuesday marks the beginning of a new era - one where the color of your hoodie matters more than the color of your skin. Black and white are mixed together, not separate. Colors stand side by side. Okay…maybe they’re just sewn side by side on this hoodie. Close enough, right?

Baby, it’s cold outside!
So it’s freezing in New York. And when it’s freezing in New York, it means that these awful, freezing humid winds blow in off of the water, form wind tunnels down the streets because of the tall buildings, and make things generally miserable. I like cold weather and everything, but I’m not such a fan of temperatures that feel like -10° with the wind chill.
