Since we had such a heavy gang all in one place, we brought our film crew to make an episode for our upcoming MPD Snow video series.  More news on that soon, until then here’s a recap from the week-long event, with a silly screen-scribble flare-

Sammy Spits picking his nose, while sliding it down a rail. Multitasking at it's finest. 

Staxwood went so big, he landed out of this picture. 

Day 1 video starts off with Sam Taxwood, showing why at the end of the week he was awarded the prestigious “CHARGER” award, & also a clip of Sammy Spiteri with his classic smooth style. 

Sam didn't misfire this blaster air.

Like the dinosaurs, Red will grow from all the air he gets. It's just science. 

No shirts, no shoes, no service. Sam was spinning so fast he couldn't read that.

Somebody told Riley there was a party at the street scene. He was confused. 

Day 2 video featuring Niko Cioffi jumping dangerously close through the rail gaps, Sam Taxwood going huge off the jumps- shirtless, & Red Gerard getting crazy in the air. 

Day 3 video featuring Riley Nickerson and Sammy Spiteri hammering the street course, Sam Taxwood doing one of the biggest airs of the week, Ethan Deiss jumping farther off a rail than most kickers and then Spencer Schubert doing a frontblunt pretzel 270 of it too, Zac Marben hitting the big step-up with his perfect style, & Red Gerard stepping up to the bigboy gap.   

Day 4 video opening up with a shirtless Spencer Schubert flipping over the stair, Niko Cioffi spinning over a tree, Zac tweaking out a classic Marben method revert, & Dustin Craven going blind over the gap of doom.

Niko Cioffi was up so early getting photos, his party friends were just getting home from the club. 

Red Gerard can run to be president of the United States in 23 years. 

Sam deserved the CHARGER award.  He should charge his friends for a new t-shirt.  

Day 5 video featuring a hilarious intro with tall Spencer Schubert & little Red Gerard trading snowboards, then Niko Cioffi, and Red again playing with smokebombs.

Kevin’s 20 year influence on snowboarding includes years of crushing contests and taking a skate-style approach to big mountain terrain. With a much-anticipated part in Standard’s TB20, Arnette is more than excited to have Kevin back on the team. Besides Arnette, Kevin is riding for Bluebird Snowboards, Billabong, Union Binding Co., DVS, Remind Insoles, Bern and Nalkin.

“Arnette was my first goggle sponsor and it will be my last! I could have ridden for anybody, but I chose Arnette because I care about my eyeballs, something I didn't always think about the first time around!” commented Jones.

Ethan Deiss blew up in the snowboard world a couple years ago when his video part was posted online and drew the attention of major forces in the industry. A guy that appreciates riding Troll with his boys as much as he does world class terrain parks, Ethan rides wherever and whenever he can. Besides now being a part of the Arnette family, he’s backed by Burton Snowboards, Monster Energy, Gnarly Gloves and FLP.

“I’m soo hyped to be on the Arnette program, I couldn't be more stoked! Are nothing but nette! 3 pointer… get it?” commented Deiss.

Kevin and Ethan are joining a tight, but growing, crew of snowboarders supporting Arnette, including Devun Walsh, Dustin Craven, Sage Kotsenburg, and Zac Marben on the Global Pro Team.

“These guys are perfect for Arnette. Both Kevin and Ethan are all about having fun with friends on this hill, creativity and doing things on your own terms. They’re both pushing the creative side of riding and I’m psyched to have them on the crew,” commented Robbie Sell, Arnette Snow Marketing Specialist.

More information on what’s happening with Arnette can be found online through Arnette’s multiple Web presences.

We once again had an amazing team presence.  This time we had Zac Marben and Tim Eddy joining the judges stand, to watch the field of competitors with our crew of Andrew Brewer, Nick Visconti, Ethan Deiss, Spencer Schubert, Colton Morgon, and Dylan Dragotta…even Gray Thompson came from Truckee to watch his teammates.  

Nick Visconti back 180

Firedrill wearer - Spencer, Dylan and Andrew Brewer

A-hole winner!

Our team did amazing, even though it was the first time some of them put on boots since last winter.  Ethan got taken out early due to the lack of speed needed to clear the lengthy gap to lipslide he attemped… which ended up tweaking his back and putting him on the sidelines to cheer on the others.  The rest of the crew did him proud, with Andrew Brewer receiving “The Destroyer” award from Zumiez, and Nick Visconti getting 2nd place and $2500!  Dylan, Colton, and Spencer all kept the crowd cheering by having landed video-part worthy tricks and making it look too easy.

To celebrate, that night they all went to the Arnette Afterparty for a free Del The Funky Homosapien & Casual show.  No details to be told from there…

Here are some of the great media coverage!
