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?

New Year, New Hoodie

Happy New Year! Ring in 2009 with a new hoodie. The Ride Star FZ is that hoodie. It perfectly represents your New Years Eve.

Hoodie Tuesday III

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at Shred Betties! May the gift-wrapped boxes you receive be filled with glorious goodies both snow-related and not. Today, we’re intruding on Beanie Thursday turf. Why? Because we can, will, and want to.

Hoodie Tuesday II

This hoodie is so sly that it doesn’t even have a hood. I guess that technically it makes it a jacket or fleece sans hoodie status. But, that doesn’t stop me from liking it!

Hoodie Tuesday I

Did you know that there are as many phobias as exist situations and things? Well, you better believe it. In fact, there’s an entire site dedicated to the art of creating absurd phobias…er…I mean there’s a site that lists all the phobias in existence.www.phobialist.com. During the winter I fall spell to Ombrophobia, fear of rain, which the forecast predicts here in southern New England for the next couple of days. Call me optimistic, or maybe just extremely unprepared, but I don’t even own a raincoat- just umbrellas.
Apparently humans aren’t the only ones with fears. Hoodies have them too! In fact, today’s hoodie hates water. Now, it doesn’t have gore-tex to protect itself from the rain, it’s just a hoodie. However, it doesn’t soak up water like nearly every other hoodie. Holy hydrophobic hoodies batman! I’m talking about the Volcom Easy Air Hydro hoodie.

Hoodie Hump Day

Yes, I know it’s not tuesday, but it’s summer and you don’t see many people wearing hoodies so hoodie tuesday has taken a hiatus. However, good ‘ol Wednesday (or hump day as it’s sometimes called) is a little lonely. So we’re giving it some love (get it? Hump day, love? I crack myself up sometimes).

Matix March

The winds have blown March in, meaning it’s time to get some hoodies for those gusty days on the hill or off the hill (in case you haven’t bought any of the other hoodies that is). Here at Shred Betties, we love Matix. We hope you love them too, and just a little reveal of what’s to come in March…you can look forward to some Matix items as prizes in a SUPER BIG contest we’ll be starting later this month. Get excited! No..really…get excited. This contest, of epic proportions, is about to blow.your.mind…and save your wallet. Anyway, enough about that. Today’s hoodie is the Matix Melbourne Hoody ($50). Stripes have been in for awhile, and I doubt they’re going anywhere. So strike out and stripe out by buying this hoodie, available in two colorways: Butter Cup and Vintage Blue. The Melbourne is a nice cotton fleece hoodie to have on the windy days of March and works well to wear up on the hill for spring riding.

Our Favorites at the X-Games

On a lighter note, in case you’re having trouble finding footage of the chicks on expn.com, we’ve compiled a few of our favorites:

Claudia Fliri is a Shred Betties staff favorite; we’ve been seeing great footage and photography of this Austrian rider from competitions across Europe. She didn’t let us down in her first X-Games appearance, placing 2nd and hitting the big jumps that were taking down most of the other girls, including a huge 540 over the 60 foot gap:
