Union Binding Company 2011/2012

Smokin Snowboards … straight out of Tahoe (more or less) owner Smokin Jay is still hand making boards in their facility. I got to meet Jay and this guy is a no nonsense straight shooter. I own a MIP, and how often can you say you were able to meet the person who made the deck you ride? Real Deal here kids Real Deal. With a PBR in Jays hand we talked about a few decks and what we like dont like. Heres some pics of the new line for 2011/2012….

Airblaster. One of my favorite companies and a leader/founder of the “why should snowboarding be so serious” movement AirBlaster was definitely on my day one mental list. Heres a few things that caught my eye in the upcoming years line up. (bonus… I snagged some more Terry stickers .. you really cant have enough of those)

686. Ive had pieces of 686 clothing in my gear rotation for many seasons. I always look forward to seeing what they come up with each season and especially look forward to seeing what collaborations they pull out of their hat.

Next post …. Capita , Sessions, Bataleon, YES, and Jones
