Jordan Mendenhall
Jordan Mendenhall is definitely an instant classic. He is a multitalented person who makes his way through life doing what he does without looking for recognition or praise. As a kid, he would enter contests thinking it was a fun thing to do with his friends and he ended up becoming the Jr. World Halfpipe Champion. Since then, Jordan has put out multiple video parts that blow minds in a very unique way. … read more
Photo Feature: Justin Keniston
Justin Keniston, AKA Gyp, AKA Chip, is one of the new faces I met last season. He would come out to help and shred whenever I was shooting with Laura Hadar. I don’t think I heard him say a word until the third or fourth such session, but that was long after I figured out he was much more than a roadie and definitely knew a thing or two about boarding himself. Just the other day, it was mentioned that he was a ‘90s baby and I’m old enough to be his father. … read more

As the company gained traction in the ski world, it picked up and moved to Salt Lake City in autumn of 2005. Three years later, in October of 2008, the company moved into a newly renovated warehouse where they not only sell their product in their own retail store, but also manufacture prototypes. … read more
Fresh Changes at PCMR
For the 2010/2011 season, Park City is making some big changes to their new Three Kings park. This season, Park City has invested a lot of time, and probably money, to bring you a newly renovated park located where Pick ‘n’ Shovel park was last season. Three Kings will feature two more runs full of rails, boxes, logs, jumps and a few things you’ve only dreamed of. If that doesn’t get your gear all wet, here is a little bonus: Park City has added lights throughout the entire new park! … read more
Alaska With Mikey
I always wanted to go to Alaska. It seems to me that anyone who has snowboarded has dreamed of making it there and having the opportunity to push their snowboarding to the limit. In Alaska anything can happen––good or bad. The landscape alone speaks for itself. Sure the mountains in Utah might be just as tall, but you don’t see them protruding from the ocean like huge fangs. Everything in Alaska just seems bigger and better. … read more

Volcom ‘9191’ Review
9191 focuses on my two favorite things about snowboarding: shredding powder and riding with the homies. 9191 takes a new approach to making a snowboarding film. In lieu of a traditional team video, Volcom created a movie based on the travels of Gigi Ruf. … read more
