Snowboarder Magazine’s Superpark 14 presented by Gatorade Returns to Mammoth Mountain
4/29/10
San Clemente, CA (April 28, 2010) – SNOWBOARDER Magazine’s Superpark is always one of the largest and most anticipated snowboarding events of the year, however, going back to Mammoth after hosting in 2009 what some were calling the “best Superpark ever,” has elevated expectations to an all time high. SNOWBOARDER Magazine’s Superpark 14 presented by Gatorade returns to the Eastern Sierras May 4-7, 2010 with the riders, builders and media alike, all ready to take the event to new heights.
“Mammoth is a natural fit to host Superpark in the late Spring,” says Chris Engelsman, Publisher, SNOWBOARDER Magazine. “Their snowpack is optimum, the weather is fantastic, and their support of park riding is undeniable. We’ve spent six Superparks in Mammoth and couldn’t be more excited to go back and try to top what we saw there last year.”
SNOWBOARDER is also proud to welcome back Gatorade as the presenting sponsor. They were initiated into the Superpark tradition for the first time last year and are back for more from the world’s top snowboarding talent. “SNOWBOARDER is stoked to have Gatorade back again this year as well,” adds Engelsman. “With riders on-hill all day under the spring sun, hydration is key to keeping the session alive and with Gatorade on board no one ever goes thirsty.”
“Superpark is a great event that focuses on having fun and the athletes’ progression,” said Kenny Mitchell, action sports team manager for Gatorade. “Gatorade is happy to be on board with such a great event where we can help fuel riders as they push one another to ride hard in a laid back setting.”
For 2010 SNOWBOARDER has adopted an “Animal House” theme for Superpark dubbing it Animal Park. According to SNOWBOARDER’s editor Pat Bridges “The poster for ‘Animal House’ says it all ‘It was the Deltas against the rules… the rules lost.’ Snowboarding was founded by a bunch of dudes who went against the rules and, well you know the rest. Similarly, SNOWBOARDER started Superpark to create a venue where we didn’t need to follow any rules.” Expect 150 of the world’s best park riders to send it for four days straight as they pledge Tri Landa Air.

DJ JAYCEEOH Presents: AVANT-GUCCI
4/7/10
DJ JayCeeOh is back with his latest release 'Avant-Gucci". This time around JayCeeOh stepped away from the party and flipped an all out Gucci Mane mixtape. Instead of simply playing the latest and hottest Gucci tracks JayCeeOh went the extra step and remixed every song over a wide variety of beats that you normally never hear him on, hence the avant-gard reference in the title. People have grown to love Gucci's voice and cadence as a rapper but his beats are not always vibe friendly. With "Avant-Gucci", Jayceeoh has made Gucci like-able to people that may have previously been turned off by him. This mix will convert Gucci haters to the other side. The artwork was done by Rhek and is a flip of Picasso's 'Three Musicians" painting. Picasso is historically known as one of the most avant gard artists so naturally this came to mind when designing the artwork. This mix is in perfect time for Spring. Enjoy! Please Download, Blog , Review, and Share.

Vans Team Riders at The 2010 Ride Shakedown in Canada
4/6/10

Eric Willet and Hana Beaman competed in the 2010 Ride Shakedown main event in Quebec, Canada last weekend, placing 3rd and fifth, respectively. The contest was the biggest one yet for the long running Spring tradition, hosting a huge crowd and more competitors than ever before. After winning the event last season, this year Hana has been focusing on filming, trying to put together her first video part with Standard Films. We caught up with Hana to get an update on how things are going so far...
You just finished up at Ms. Superpark—how'd it go and what most do you like about this event?
It went great, Megan (Ginter) and I arrived on Monday and took a few runs in the sun and slush. It reminded me of why I loved riding here so much as a kid. Regardless, it's always so fun to ride with all the girls. I haven't been able to see a lot of them during the year so it's cool to see friends and have fun riding my home mtn.
You've been filming with Standard Films this season—what has that been like?
You've been filming with Standard Films this season—what has that been like?
It's been cool. All the people we've been working with are rad and our crew is super fun. There has been a lot of snow chasing going down and lots of down days, where I think I might go crazy, but once we get the sunny days it's good. I've been up in Canada a lot and hit a lot of new things this year. It's def been a lot of input for not quite as much output as I would like, but I'm just hoping things all come together at the end of the season.
What were some of the highlights this winter? Any memorable trips or days?
I had an amazing time out in the Kootenays right after New Years, but the weather wasn't really on our side.... that doesn't mean we didn't ride tons of pow and have a blast though ;) it was our first crew bonding trip and it was super fun.
You competed and did well in a few contests this year (Grand Prix rail jam, Shakedown, etc.). Has this year been less contests than usual or about normal, and what does winning an event mean for you?
Def trying to do less contests, and focus more on filming, but there are always gonna be some that I'll probably end up doing. I usually have a good time at contests. It's a different way to push myself and the money is always a bonus, but I feel myself being pulled away from them for sure, getting more into the mountains.
What do you have planned for the rest of the season?
Well, more filming... we are headed to AK in a week or so and that is gonna be awesome! I keep hearing how sick it has been there this season and i'm looking forward to epic riding. Then just some other park shoots and filming.... then it's Summer!
What Vans Snow products do you use and why?
I use the boots and shoes obviously... the Hi-Standard because it is the best boot, so comfy, and I try to make it unique looking so it's stylie as well.
