Burton x Star Wars Snowboards at awsm.com

Try and tell me that this license didn’t cost a million republic credits. I have to find a Darth Vader 130 for my boy or he’s going to disown me as a parental figure. If anyone out there works for Burton and wants to give me one, I would be stoked. Kthanxbye.

Shaun Wipe: A Winning Streak

This made coffee fly out of my nose this morning. I don’t know if this is an actual product or not. If it isn’t, hats off to whoever did the legwork. If it is real, then…oh man, things just got really weird.

686 x New Balance 580 Boa

New Balance and 686 team up for another collab that makes snowboard boots look more like trainer shoes instead of hulking Frankenstein boots. The boots are equipped with the BOA lacing system. So that means that if you never learned to tie your shoes you can just crank a dial and the boots will tighten right up like magic.

Actual Human Review: Peter Line

Have you ever thought about which one of your friends is the most likely to have a nude painting of themselves hanging somewhere in their house? Well, chances are if you know him, the name Peter Line popped into your head. We all know Peter can snowboard really well and has done this and that for the progression of the sport bla bla bla. Let’s go deeper into Peter. I just felt uncomfortable typing that.

First off Peter is shorter than the average human. He is about the size of an Ewok, just less furry and 30 times more offensive. He is eccentric, which really means weird with money. Pete lives in Seattle in some artsy loft that everyone raves about. I have never been to his home. I picture a bunch of phallic shaped furniture in his living room that looks really weird, but is strangely comfortable to sit in. Peter loves to cook. Rumor has it that he can perform in a kitchen. Apparently he was classically trained by the Food Network. I am again getting a mental picture of Pete in his living room filled with penis furniture and nude paintings of himself studying the Food Network. He’s probably in a robe and it’s 3 in the afternoon.

In true eccentric artist style, Peter has found photography. However, I really think his master plan is to somehow convince chicks to take their clothes off for him in his “studio”. I wonder if his studio has windows…or door handles on the inside?

Peter has a love for late nights.

So in summary, we have an eccentric little man who loves cooking and photography and has starred in many blockbuster movies. I’m pretty sure I just described Woody Allen.
