Arbor ‘Hybrid GT’ Skateboard Givaway.
Free stuff! Oh yeah! Arbor is giving away a complete Hybrid GT Skateboard!
The Hybrid GT is a very versatile board and was featured in this radical video: Kody Noble Shreds The Streets Of San Francisco.
Here’s how the Giveaway works:
On the Arbor website, arborcollective.com, participants must make a quick comment on any news story, (participants must make a real comment) in the comment section and write, “I want to win free Arbor stuff!” A real full name and email address must be used so Arbor can contact the winner. Then participants must also make a Facebook Like and/or Twitter Tweet on any news story to finish their entry (look for this option at the bottom of each news story). Upon submitting a comment and a Like and/or Tweet, participants will be entered into a random drawing. Within about one week, Arbor will post the winner’s name on the Arbor website, Facebook and Twitter. The lucky person will be contacted by Arbor to obtain pertinent information and the product will be shipped to their location. Participants may enter as many times as they like by commenting on and liking or tweeting multiple news stories. GOOD LUCK!
Gnar Helicopter Crash At The Buffalo Bill Race!

This is the first chance I’ve had to get some internet access since the Buffalo Bill helicopter debacle, fiasco, or whatever you want to call it. Here’s one of the many shots I took as it happened—so gnarly I can’t even believe it actually went down. And to think, Louis Pilloni and myself where just up in one of these whirly birds, covering another event, only two weeks ago. Look closely, and peep the pilot and two others still in the ‘copter—just before they jumped out and scrambled up the mountain for their lives—all the while blades spinning over their heads! Gnar! I feel so blessed and thankful to be alive and also so stoked that nobody whatsoever was hurt in this crash. Anyway, more to come: Radical race shots, epic freeriding, and of course more gnarly broken helicopter shots and general mayhem. Full length article very soon.
Here’s a video of the crash: CRASH VIDEO

Buffalo Bill Downhill 2011 Preview: Colo-radical

One word: “Colorado and Buffalo Bill Downhill are epic!” Okay, that’s a few-couple more words than one, but it’s late, I have slight altitude sickness, and tomorrow we’re gonna do it all over again. We had so much fun freeriding today, but it ain’t over yet though; tomorrow it’s race time!
Anyway, day-one of Buffalo Bill is over and what a day it was. This place is awe inspiring to say the least, the road the event is held on is epic, and there are some serious shredders up in here handling it hugely.
Stay tuned for our full-length article very soon. Until then, please enjoy this preview shot of Jon Huey jammin’ while paying homage to the spirit of Mr.Buffalo Bill by donning a steezee mustache and a tasseled suede jacket.
