Snow kite boarder gets lifted into the air

I am never going to go up on a mountain top and snowboard while hanging on to a kite. Ever. The camera man seems pretty ecstatic about it all, but I’m pretty sure this was not that fun for the guy on the board. [via]

Kidrobot x Burton = ugliest thing on the slopes

Have you all seen the Kidrobot and Burton clothing collaboration? It’s hideous.

Let me break it down for you. The set at the top, called Toy Pile Up, is just about the most obnoxious thing you can wear while snowboarding down the mountain. Nothing says Hey, look at me with my money and terrible taste in fashion than putting on this jacket and pants combination.

And this purple Robot Head getup…
Wow, I don’t even know what to say. Modern Prince on the slopes? And don’t think that that comparison to Prince is a good thing. What better way to scream I’M GGGGGGAAAAAAAYYYYY from the mountain tops, eh?

At least with these on, you’ll be sure to have people steer clear of you while you do your thing on the mountain. I guess that’s a good thing…sorta.
