SLAYSH

Hey all,

My time in New Zealand is almost over. Been doing some travelling the last few days. Yet, in other news, I'll now also be posting some stuff on Slaysh's new website, so make sure to check that out ever now and then.

lots of video and pictures to come... once I can get reliable internets

YEA for Internet working, thus, here is some video finally!

This video is from the start of the season, but the internet here in New Zealand isn't the most reliable thing and I haven't been able to get it online until now. Also, it's pretty bad, shaky, bad light, edited on windows movie maker... regardless, enjoy

The Remarks

So Today Ryan Rainville and I had a little mini trip up the the Remarkables in Queenstown. We only had a few hours and it was flat light, slow snow, and a little windy, but all in all still a good day. The Remarks has a really nice park and they also have 'The Stash' all natural park (not really). But it involves a lot of concret and wood, and a little cliff drop. Video to come soon.

Also, I have some more video from Cardrona coming soon as the last few days were really sunny.

2010 snowboards!!

So, one of the cool things about New Zealand is that they get all the new 2010 snowboards before we do back in North America, So here is a little preview of some of the new K2 stuff, and I'll have more brands to come.

I'll also be demoing a few of the boards so I'll be sure to let you all know how they perform.

In other news, I know it's been a while since I've posted anything, but I'm going to try to be better with that from now on. I've got some video to post soon. Also there are a bunch of events going on at snow park soon that I'll try to get some pictures of.

More From Dunedin; Shops, Art, and Hand Rails

When I was in Dunedin apart from going to the rugby game and doing some tourist things I also did a lot of walking around town. First thing to mention was this awesome store came across, FiLTER. It is a street wear shop with a lot of trendy New Zealand and Austrailia brands, along with a few things from North America, they also own a board shop down the street. Aside from the nice clothes that filled that walls, probably being the nicest stuff I've seen since I've been here, the store it self had a really cool feel too it. The black and white decor, with floral prints and chandaliars gave it a high end, classy feel. Yet, the graffiti influenced art on the walls, and mini cruiser bike in the corner keep you from thinking you just walked into the wrong store. So if you are ever shopping down town Dunedin, NZ I highly suggest checking this place out.

Since I have been in New Zealand I have been really surprised with the lack of graffiti, There isn't any in the skate parks and barely any on any buildings around town. So when I was in Dunedin and saw this piece of, possibly Shepard Fairey inspired, street art I was not only surprised but a little impressed.
And lasting, I don't know if Dunedin has a ice rink that dumps their snow outside, but I intend to find out for these two reasons...
