Shaun White shits his pants in a racing car
He might go big in the pipe, but he's a wuss in the passenger seat
Italian Teaser: ‘Too Much Too Serious’
An Italian snowboard film with good riding, a bad name, and a frankly ugly soundtrack... but worth a watch
We got Facef**ked!
We’ve been making friends with a lot of you Whitelines fans recently. Too many apparently. We just got barred from our Facebook account for a while because it turns out we’re supposed to be a ‘page’, not a profile. D’oh! They’ve let us back in (“thank you oh Facebook lords!”) but they’ve made us promise to start shifting all our friends over to our new page.
We might get shut down for good if we keep posting on our profile, which would mean no more lovely snowboard updates :( So basically, please click the ‘like’ button in the top right corner of our website, and get all your mates to do likewise! Let’s stick two fingers up at the faceless beaurocrats trying to spoil our fun.
Farmers Jam 2010 – Full round up
In ten years the Farmers Jam has come a long way, gone are the old marine ply ramps, the “Cornish pasty” rail and the behemoth steel frame kicker. The slope is now a fully up to date Snowflex hill that boasts a huge quarter pipe and many different rails and boxes, including a five foot high rainbow rail. Although the hill has progressed with the times, the relaxed atmosphere that the farmers Jam has built its success on, is still a defining feature.

Baw Baw’din – Episode 5
Strewth, it’s those kooks from down under again. This is the latest little edit from Mt Baw Baw. Once again the riding isn’t knock your socks off sick, but that doesn’t seem to matter – it’s set to real beaut of a soundtrack, and its full of phrases like, “Rip it up Marky.”
Don’t you just love them Aussies?
Cliff drops, powder fields and a bloke called “Chumpy”
We just got sent this vid, it features a pretty rad antipode supposedly called Chumpy- not so rad name, (he does seem to have a love for pies though, which might explain his tag) anyways he and his fellow side sliders have found themselves an effing lovely bit of mountain. Check out the cliff drop at the beginning.
Freestyle.ch – Kickstarting the European season
Freestyle.ch drops into Zurich on the 25th of September. This year the event – which encompasses an array of sports, some we care less about, and one we love more than our mums – will be held over two days. This means one less qualifying day, so the competition big guns will be battling it out from the onset. Sweet. Last year, Swiss superstar I-Pod took the title. He will be returning to compete against some of the biggest names in the sport including Elias Elhardt, Marko Grilc, Sebastien Toutant, Andreas Wiig and two time TTR champ Peetu Piiroinen.
All in all we should see some sick riding, as this is the first major comp of the european season. So keep an eye out here, or get out there!
Knut & Stian “off day” two
Yesterday we posted a vid of Norwegian buddies Knut Eliassen and Stian Solberg shredding the Northstar park in Tahoe. Knut & Stian’s ‘Haya’. The pair look like they have so much fun riding together we thought we should post their second day of park play. Makes us wanna play too!
Jeremy Jones’ weathers insane storm
Sometimes even Jeremy Jones gets it wrong. When it comes to Alaska, a land that boasts one of the most extreme climates on earth, getting it wrong can mean very wrong. Here, he and the rest of the Deeper team chose the wrong moment to pitch camp in AK’s Glacier Bay National Park. The decision left them facing a storm that even Captain Scott would’ve found scary. I mean honestly, can you imagine having to go outside for a shite in this?
Dome & Away – UK shredders do Belgium
Young grom Jake Terry has headed off on what looks like a pretty epic trip round the domes of Europe with his mate Lannig Canu and his old man Steve. First stop is Ice Mountain in Belgium, and damn it looks good. Check out the size of that kicker and those rails! Why don’t we get that kind of stuff to play on eh?
Bonfire launch 10-11 website – New product line
Bonfire snowboarding have relaunched their website for the coming winter season! As product websites go, its a pretty dope one. Obviously it has their full product range of boots, jackets, pants, apparel and accessories. But it also features Videos of team riders Bode Merrill, Louif Paradis, and David Benedek.
And of course, as any self-respecting shred site should have, a blog.
Helgasons show their skating skills
Those pesky Helgason boys pretty much turn anything they touch to gold these days. Not merely content with being two of the best all-round riders, the cheeky Icelandic chappies’ bid for world domination apparently now encompasses skating as well. Here they are sessioning a couple of obstacles they built themselves – and like everything else, they seem to be sickeningly good at it. Check it out!
