Tim Eddy's Childerness Spot

Mon, 15 Oct 2012 11:02:02 +0000

Tim Eddy is one of the most fun loving snowboarders we’ve ever met. He’s always smiling, laughing, and motivating others to have a good time. Lately he’s been skating, doing yoga, enjoying local hot springs, and “getting ready to rip the hell out of the slopes retreat!”. He recently acquired some land in Lake Tahoe and is creating his own CHILLDERNESS spot. Upon hearing this, we hit him up:

What was the motivation to acquire this land and build a cabin, rather than just get an apt in town?

Freedom! I just wanted to live the way that I wanted to live and be able to do the things I wanted to do. I always had a vision of living simple and living with minimal resources. Like Solar electricity, wood stove for heating and cooking, harvesting rain and snow for water, living in a small functional space where I don't have many things and it forces me to spend most of my time in the great outdoors. Also I wanted the freedom to build and create whatever I wanted. After the cabin, it's a concrete skatepark, zip-line, mtn bike course which will be a banked slalom rhythm course in the winter, garden, some animals and the list goes on.

Are you going to ride the resorts at all, or just ride your front/back yard?

I'm gonna rip all the peaks that I can whether it's chairlifts, splitboard, snowshoes, hover board, but there will always be radical sessions with the bros at the land. That will be a never ending project of stoke!

Has any wildlife visited you?

Yeah! This past spring we had a bear lurking around, tons of deer, coyotes, all kinds of birds, bats, hungry squirrels and raccoons. Oh yeah and a samsquantch. He's a distant cousin of sasquatch with antlers.

Are you putting in cable tv?

What other entertainment will you have? No cable tv, no internets, just books, music, cooking, chopping fire wood, stretching, talking, exploring, pondering, creating, and a whole lot of boardsports!

What makes you happy in life?

Life's a garden, dig it!

Downtown Throwdown San Francisco Recap

Thu, 03 Nov 2011 18:21:26 +0000

Now that the Downtown Throwdown is sponsored by Arnette, the weather magically has been beautiful. Both stops are in poor weather regions during this time of year, but Seattle and this one here in San Francisco were both in comfortably t-shirt conditions.

Dylan Dragotta

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.

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!

The Rebellion Is Coming

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 09:00:00 +0000

The wait is almost over folks... On August 22nd, Think Thank will release their highly-anticipated new flick "Ransack Rebellion" on iTunes and through other purveyors of fine snow shredding videos.

For those who simply can't wait any longer, today (8/11) the Think Thank crew is doing a special early release on their website featuring a limited edition collector's set that's jam packed with all kinds of radness -- including Arnette stickers and other goodies. So hit up ThankThank.com if you wanna get in on the pre-release action.

Arnette is a proud sponsor of "Ransack Rebellion," and we're stoked to have two of our team riders featured in the mix. Following are teasers for Arnette's own Nick Visconti and Tim Eddy. Oh, and a huge congrats to Mr. Visconti for landing himself on the video's cover!

When you ultimately get yourself a copy of Think Thank's new release, make sure you check out the bonus section because the winner's of the first-ever Arnette Crew Clash -- YAWGOONS -- are featured in their very own edit. Watch Dylan Gamache, Marcus Rand, Brian Skorupski, Zack Wilmot, Mary Rand and Saara Untracht-Oakner tear sh%t up in and around their home state of Rhode Island. For more on the Yawgoons, check out the Vimeo channel of their filmer Brendan Gouin.

With the snowboarding season right around the corner (crazy, right?), make sure you check out our all-new Mercenary and Series 3 goggles that are on the way to your local shop as you read this. Get some!

Arnette adds six hard-charging riders to National Snowboard team

Wed, 09 Mar 2011 09:35:04 +0000

Arnette is proud to announce it has added six of today’s most exciting US and European snowboarders to its National Team including Nick Visconti, Johnny Lazz, Niko Cioffi, Tim Eddy, Alek Ostreng and Alex Tank.

"There are a number of eyewear companies out there, and they all make a product that gives snowboarders the protection they need to shred another day,” says Nick Visconti. “Unfortunately, many brands only give riders a product. Arnette, on the other hand, offers so much more; it is the epitome of a lifestyle movement supported by passionate individuals who want to invest themselves in a vision for life, not just a simple product.”

The newly-minted National Team joins forces with Arnette’s Global Team of elite riders including Devun Walsh, Zac Marben, Dustin Craven and Sage Kotsenburg.

“We feel our global squad is one of the most influential in snowboarding, and by adding such a diverse and talented group of national riders to the mix, it makes our team even stronger and more exciting,” says Arnette Team and Events Manager Brent Bearden. “We have big things planned for next year, and we’re really psyched to have such an amazing group of guys backing our new goggle program.

”

Tahoe’s own Nick Visconti is a cerebral snowboarder who creatively explores shredding through filming for Think Thank and producing online media segments for “Tahoe Dangerzone,” a video blog that documents his on-hill antics and experiments. Nick has a larger-than-life personality and unique style, and he is a dedicated skateboarder. When not holding it down in Tahoe, he can be found lurking in Venice Beach with the Arbor crew.

North Lake Tahoe’s Johnny Lazz is one of the funniest dudes you will ever meet. He is loud, super talkative and doesn’t give a f%#k what other people think. An all-terrain dominator who can slay backcountry lines and handrails equally well, Johnny loves to bend the rules and has been known to outrun ski patrol on more than one occasion.

A proud Vermonter with deep Killington roots, Niko Cioffi has a scrappy swagger and style all his own. He is a founding member of Rutland’s GBP crew, and over the past few years he has spent winters in Truckee riding and filming with the Forum team. With several impressive video parts already to his credit and a deep bag of tech tricks on lock, the future looks bright for this versatile Green Mountain shredder.

Tim Eddy is an Alpine Meadows local and total ripper. When the flakes are flying he spends his days in the backcountry dropping cliffs and carving out ridiculous lines. When summer rolls around he packs his bags and heads to High Cascade to keep the good times rollin’. A self-proclaimed foodie with a sweet tooth, Tim’s mellow demeanor and positive attitude make him an awesome guy to hang out with.

Norwegian powerhouse Alek Ostreng charged onto the scene a few years back and has been making noise ever since. A dedicated member of the Youngblood squad, Alek is a top competitor on the Winter Dew Tour and has been hard at work this season filming for the new Forum team video. Whether big air or slopestyle, Alek is always smooth as butter and can throw down with the best of ‘em.

Alex Tank is a Euro jibbing machine with a super clean style who kills parks and rails like nobody’s business. Arguably the best thing to come out of Germany since Heidi Klum and Oktoberfest, Alex rides with the Eye of the Tiger and absolutely destroys it every time he straps on his board.

Be on the lookout for Arnette’s snow team at a mountain near you as they will all be wearing the new Mercenary and Series 3 goggles, which are slated to hit shops Fall 2011.
