offseason

ok so the snowboarding is coming to a quick end unless you live out in california like my brother where they snowboard all year round (which is pretty ridiculous). One thing I like to do in the offseason is to keep up on my skateboarding because it helps keeping your heelside and toeside turns sharp, so to all you snowboarders out there, keep your skills sharp so you can shred it up in the 09 season. 

Promotion

I had a presentation during my marketing class and I found these two interesting sites on the topic. The first one is the first website I found on google when I typed in the topic. www.promotions.com. It talks about the basics of promotion and marketing and also talks about the companies that they personally work with. The second article I found is a website called attack! marketing and promotion. It is a communications agency that gives clients full range of strategy for their company. Check it out. ATTACK

Off topic

A little off topic but I was looking on the blob called Attention Max and I saw on his site that he had some really cool things on his blog. He has this thing called Meebo which is when he is on the blog people can send him live comments and talk to him just like it was AIM. I think this is a cool innovation for blogs because it can get the readers feedback directly and they do not have to leave comments on the blog but can talk to the author behind it. Check out the blog. VQUZESHUF

Sikk Darkslide

Check out this awesome trick that I found online. It is pretty awesome. A snowboarder goes off of a jump and does a darkslide. A darkslide is a skateboarding trick when going up on a rail they flip the board over and grind the top part of it. Of course with snowboard there feet are strapped in so this boarder was a little innovative. Check it out. VQUZESHUF

Jacket of the Month..

The jacket of the month has appeared on Burton's rider Kevin Pearce who had a great showing this year at the X-games. It is a multi colored jacket that matches the bottom of Pearce's board. The announcers and some of his fellow riders did not think much of Pearce's jacket before his run. Once he hit the super pipe and was busting some major air everyone saw that his jacket did match the bottom of the board. After his run everyone took a different look at Pearce because of his performance and this is why his jacket makes the "Jacket of the Month".
