It's that time of year again. Winter's over, pretty much done with the samples of next winters product from Drop gloves and goggles, Signal boards and outerwear, Westbeach, Celsius and Mega Destroyer. Time to clean out the storage locker and break out the Sabre sunglasses and any other assorted streetwear from Animal, Ocean and Earth, Ezekiel and some vintage Split, NFA and Savier gear and set it up for consumers to spend their hard earned dough.

Details: This Saturday and Sunday April 17/18 at 16 Cook St., in Meaford Ontario (N4L 1G4 if you wanna mapquest it). Rain or shine we'll be here hooking people up with next years gear at wholesale prices.

"Lobbled" you say?

The People Crew get credit for this one. Coming to a Wikipedia/Wikiamo listing near you soon. Watch the video below and get educated.........but try not to get lobbled!

Back again.

I know it's been far too long since I've posted but between snowboard events, work and many other distractions (yes I did watch a few Olympic events) I lost sight of my goals online. I"m not saying I'm back cause I never left but nor am I guaranteeing to post every day as I prefer life away from my laptop to one in front of it. Speaking of life away from a laptop, check out this preview and keep your eyes open for more information on it. They are saying it's a two year project but I'm pretty sure we are now into year two so I'm guessing winter 2010/11? Regardless, enjoy the outdoors vicariously through someone else.....

Another late night "because I can"!

noreply@blogger.com (Mark @ Vert) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 07:20:00 +0000

It's past 2 am when I promised myself to get a good nights sleep so I figured I might as well blog what I'm listening to.......because I can!

This song totally reminds me of being a teenager again. Damn Brian Aubert sounds like Billy Corrigan!

For Kyle and Jordan.........on the bus.

noreply@blogger.com (Mark @ Vert) — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 18:26:00 +0000

This one is for Kyle and Jordan on their journey across the continent. Save travel guys.

Who, what? ........E-man Guzman!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Mark @ Vert) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 23:53:00 +0000

Check out Emanual Guzman. Then go to www.voxfootwear.com and check out his shoe the Deuce. then go buy it at Sud Skates in St. Catherines this spring......

Just because I can, no other reason.

Ontario shred Fulton on Grind TV...........sounding very professional.

noreply@blogger.com (Mark @ Vert) — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 02:42:00 +0000

Watch the video from last months first US Olympic qualifier at Copper Mtn. Props to Jesse for sounding so professional and level headed. Very analytical, shooting for a CTV sports Olympic analyst position?? Hopefully you'll be too busy coaching Canadian shreds in the finals.

Sorry, but I just couldn't resist this one......

My salute to politically incorrectness.

Bigfoot and Maloney wall mural.

noreply@blogger.com (Mark @ Vert) — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 21:20:00 +0000

Watch this about Maloney and Drop glove and goggle artistic collaborator Bigfoot and a mural they did for Wahoo's. You can find Bigfoots collab glove this year from Drop at better snowboard shops everywhere and keep an eye out for next winters Bigfoot artwork on a Drop goggle.

Something a little different.

I met Mike in Mexico during a Da Kine sales meeting five years ago. Who knew what he was thinking while watching the waves breaking at Burros!!

Happy New Years!!!!

The video speaks for itself.

Part II (the climax....if you watched the last entry first)

noreply@blogger.com (Mark @ Vert) — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 07:23:00 +0000

Only watch this if you watched the previous entry first.

Part one (don't even think about watching part II first!)

noreply@blogger.com (Mark @ Vert) — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 07:20:00 +0000

Lets just call this the lead up to the climax. The next post will be the climax.

Sleepercar

Saw these guys last summer at Massey Hall. Take a few seconds to check them out.

Canadian Bad-asses!!

Nothing like a little history lesson.

Putting up all the parts of the Black and Blue video diaries has proven to be harder than first expected. The various versions are all numbered differently on You Tube so lets just call this the second installation. Nothing like confusing things even more by creating my own cataloging system.
