Lucky Enough Snowboarding Project

I got an email earlier this week from a young rider who is looking to spread the word about a project of his. Here’s a description of the video:

In the life of a child athlete on the verge of breaking into the professional circuit, there is a transitional career stage. This “coming of age” period separates those who will have a lasting career from those that don’t quite have what it takes. With the project we propose, we plan to document the next year of Seamus O’Connor’s snowboard career–his transitional period in the snowboard industry. This footage will be used to create a feature length documentary that captures the road he has to go down and the challenges he must overcome to attain the success he dreams of. Only time will determine the outcome in his career, so it’s an exciting project.

Check out the video below and click here to read more about his project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/illthinking/lucky-enough

Videos to Get You Pumped For the Season

As everyone gets ready for the new season, one thing’s for sure: this season you’re going to rock it harder and faster than you ever have. Why? Well, because if you don’t, you’re going to be disappointed with yourself and you’re going to spend the next summer season regretting it. So if you’re anything like us, you appreciate a good snowboarding video to get you in that pumped and ‘ready-to-rock-it’ mood. Here are some videos I found that will help do just that.

Gretchen Bleiler Interview on the TODAY Show

It’s been pretty quiet on SnowboardGo lately but for good reason (read: mountain hopping). In any case, this was submitted to me via email and thought it would be a lazy way to update the site. Don’t be fooled though, the video is pretty good.

Yes, I know posting the interview this late is ironic, but better late than never.
