New Series Coming - Snowboard Gems Restorations

 Coming back this winter with new posts!

I will keep adding new snowboard reviews (if you are a brand, small or big you can send gears that I would gladly review) but I'd like to share my recent project: Snowboard Gems Restoration.

With the constant evolution and growth of my quiver, I have purchased many new snowboards but I also like to discover some used snowboards gems that I will be restoring and ride.

My first post will be about a Type A Danny Way 153 cm (1998, I believe) that I salvaged from the Value Village right near my day job office.



That beauty cost me less than 20$ CAD and its base was near perfect. Sure, there was lots of rust on its edges and I had to use extra elbow grease. 


However, I managed to get it pretty clean and I had a friend who is an avid D. Way collector and couldn't pass it. So, I didn't get to fill that board's destiny and put it on snow.

What's the series about?
In my next post, I will explain to you how I treated the board to bring it back to its near original glory. 

Guide: How to buy a used snowboard
I'll also write a short guide on how to buy a used snowboard and what you have to look for.

The Essentials
As always, there are some tools that you will need to treat those boards correctly and I will provide a complete list of my essentials and where you can find them.

One of the aspects of this new project is to respect your snowboard gears but also get you the best working gear to get the most out of your moments on the hills. 

Finally, I don't know everything and I always love to read your comments, questions or general wonderings about snowboarding.

Snowboarder Profile: Kevin Young

In the early 1990’s freestyle snowboarding was in its child years and new tricks were constantly invented. It was all a white fresh canvas for the young riders that moulded the sport that everyone refers to as the Shaun White sport. Way before the young “Flying Tomato” even stand on a board legends of the sport were defining and experiencing tricks, jumps, transitions, etc.

The Evolution of Soundtracks in Snowboard Movies

And then there was sound. When you are watching a video part what’s sticking the most? The rider for sure! But what makes a good video part and what makes a great video part? First, you must have the right editor to mix and balance the amount of tricks and the different terrain. When this is done, even if it’s one of the most important jobs, the music must be choose. Sometimes, it’s the rider that ask for a particular song from an artist he/she likes or a genre he/she listens. Other times, the editor will suggest a kind of music that fits with the particular rider personality and/or style. However, I will always remember the part of Peter Line in The Resistance with the Ween song or JP Walker’s closing segment with the marvellous Redman/Method Man tune. Music is a big part of our lives and it is omnipresent in everything we do. Sometimes it defines who you are and your values or a particular time in your life. The snowboard movie soundtracks have become almost as important as
