The other side of the sport! 911

Hey all, We here at the blog love to write about the coolest gear and the gnarliest gnar spots, but this is part of the other end of the spectrum. Dane Williams has been missing since the San Diego trade show.Dane Williams is the marketing director for Hurley. Here is the skinny as of now. Dane Williams from the Hurley Marketing Dept. has been missing since Friday night at ASR (Action Sports Retailers Tradeshow). He was last seen Friday night at close to 2 am by the Hard Rock Cafe outside of the Marriott Gaslamp in San Diego. We are worried because no one has had contact with him since then. If you have heard from him or seen him, please contact the San Diego police department or Teton Gravity Research. Please pray as we want him to enjoy the blessings that god gave us the gnar and the outdoors. Much Love as always - Sawickied

One Foxy Lady

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know that if you haven't heard of this metaphorical "Little" lady Roxy, well we are here to tell you that: Welcome Out Of Your Coma!!! Roxy, is everywhere! From the slopes to shootin the pipeline, to riding your bus line and the subway. This company has the ability to give you ladies the most dank snow gear, and then change into the hottest swimwear and ride the most innovative boards, respectively in both sports. And if that isn't enough you can change after a hard day riding you can change and put on Roxy perfume and still bag you the hottest dude on the slopes or beach. Honestly, I'm not even a good writer but I would like to think I have a lot to say, but I'm really at a loss for words. I can only hope that another company that I know of (Sawickied Ski and Board Wear) could reach the global sports community in the way this chic has! So in the words of what and who Roxy is; who better to tell you than the girl herself. So with no further adieu,

"I'm not just a really cool clothing brand, I'm a lifestyle that you probably live too, along with Roxy world champions and pros like Lisa Andersen, Sofia Mulanovich, Chelsea Gerogeson, Kjersti Buaas and Torah Bright. I love the ocean and everything about it, whether I'm surfing in Fiji with my friends, or standing at the water's edge in France, while the waves pull the sand out from under my feet, back to the sea...I love it. I ride powder in Canada and dare to jump off backcountry cliffs in Switzerland. I love adventure and traveling. I keep up on the latest fashion trends and make up my own. I sometimes go to bed with salty hair after a fun day of surfing. I take care of my environment and help out my favourite charity. I love music and trading songs on my iPod with all the people I meet on my travels around the world." Roxy's official myspace page. So props to the ladies and the chics that rock our socks! Peace and Much Love - Sawickied

Hey all,

I want you guys to check this out, it is mind blowing! Utah Kite Addiction Utah Kite Addiction, based in beautiful Ogden Valley, will be the first and only PASA Certified Snowkiting School in Utah dedicated to sharing the addiction of snowkiting. Surrounded with riding areas like Powder Mountain, Monte Cristo, Pineview Reservoir, and local fields, this is the perfect place to learn to snowkite. In a rare event it is not blowing at one of these locations, enjoy a day of skiing or boarding at Powder Mountain and Snowbasin Resorts.
We safely and effectively teach our clients the fundamentals of snowkiting thus starting their journey into the sport of snowkiting and kite riding. Other forms of kite riding include kiteboarding on water, kitesurfing waves, kite land boarding, and kite buggying. Learning to snowkite is the easiest and safest way to get into kite riding. Then of course you'll be able to take your skills to water as well. Check it out, this is nails! Can't wait to start seeing them on the Extreme Circuit and the X Games soon. I also have a huge hunch that Warren Miller (knowing him and passion for snow) will get to it soon enough to really to get it out to the masses. Peace and Much Love! Sawickied

Phat Ski's for Atomic Skiers

Since we have the inside information on the skiing conditions where we are playing, we wanted to pass on a valuable tool for the deep powder skiing! Sugardaddys are a must in conditions when playing in the steep and deep! These ski's are epic in the deep and steepest of runs. They are effortless in the snow as the width and the more forgiving engineering of the ski engineers of the Atomic put into this ski takes the cake. Now I know that the skiers that are more adapt to the phat stiff boards would argue this point. As the stiff will plow the pow, no doubt, but if your in and out of the groom and deep you have the best of both worlds with the atomic Sugar line. Give them a try I promise you will not be disappointed. Sawickied
