Automaton interview with someone special on Angry Snowboarder here, and heck, I'll link into a 09/10 deck review on Shayboarder here. And here's a pic of a jackalope spotted in a German bar because why not? Snowboarding Saves Lives!

I have a friend who thinks he's funny. He says my hair looks like Shaun White's hair. He now calls me the Flying Bok Choy. My friend thinks he's really funny. Snowboarding Saves Lives!

As the A-Train would say, Brent's rat tail is so real. Chuck Norris' mustache could possibly maybe beat it, but just barely. Snowboarding Saves Lives!

I'm definitely stoked on the recent uprising of shred bloggers. I don't mean the guys that drive up to the mountain, then write about the trip as if anyone cares and call themselves journalists. I mean the bloggers and new online/print publications that are consistently out-scooping the traditional mags in terms of NEWS. On one part, it's easy to get the jump on the mags since they generally lay

Promoting boobs and fighting cancer. That's what Casey and Deanna's B4BC event at Maple Falls, WA last month was (pretty much) all about. Here's a quick shot of Casey, Deanna, and another breast advocate, pre-event. Note the Automaton snowboard in full lurk mode. Snowboarding Saves Lives!

Just 'cause the winter's over (in the northern hemi) doesn't mean your favoritest snowboard company isn't getting out there. Here's an Automaton appearance at the Faces and Laces art show this spring in Moscow. That's Mother Russia! Snowboarding Saves Lives!

The winter season may have just ended here in Tahoe, but that just means it's time to hit the road. Agent Isidor put together a nice collection of footy while he and a grip of SMK snow warriors were out here in spring. Peep Isidor's edit for some smooth Spanish style. Snowboarding Saves Lives!

SMK snowboard camps and Automaton are proud to announce a partnership through Agent Distributions in Spain. Beginning summer 2009, campers will be able to shred with SMK's highly regarded program at Les 2 Alpes (France) and Saas Fee (Switzerland), and also score their very own Automaton snowboard!"We are super excited to be participating with SMK this summer.

The L.I.Z. and i cruised down to Mammoth yesterday to check out the PB&RJ finals, shmooze a bit, and also drop in on the brothers Anklam to see what's new. Other than showing me i have the cardiovascular fitness of a 90 year old, Brent let us in on his bevy of choice, the Manmosa. It's like a regular mimosa, the same OJ and champagne, but probably also infused with Chuck Norris sweat. Brent

Secretly, Brent wanted to be the bigger brother, or at least the taller. Ok, I made that up, but the brothers Anklam just got back from a trip to the Jack Hole, scoring quality pow which is what I wish I could be doing right now but Tahoe seems to be storm-proof this season. These 3-inch "dumps" just aren't cutting it.Tonight, April 11, 7pm, Joowana in Maple Falls, WA, 3rd Annual Boarding 4

would be his name in Spanish, but Agent Green speaks Russian. Apparently wooden jibs are the rage in Russia. Often, wooden jibs look like death to me. But death is black, not Green. Wow, the coffee is making my fingers spit out pure poetry. Snowboarding Saves Lives!

At the end of every season, shreds are looking for summer jobs to hold them off until the next winter. I know Joe P is lurking in LA, I've been referring to him as Hollywood Joe lately. But Google tells another story. Apparently Joe is looking to be mayor of Atlantic City. Really? I didn't know he was so political! Check out his campaign here. Snowboarding Saves Lives!

Joe P isn't a vegetarian, but he does sustain enjoyment from some plants. This of the hand variety. Photo: Riley Proctor. Snowboarding Saves Lives!

Young Agent Maria Rybenkova took 2nd in the Burton Am Tour at Zolotaya Dolina! Awesome! While we wait for pics, click here for event overview and results. However, we do have a real pic of the real Agent Green from Moscow getting his shred on. Automaton is on the Russian front! Snowboarding Saves Lives!

7 weeks in, the doc says my collarbone has healed enough to pull the rod out. It wasn't the most pleasant experience, I guess there were some sort of "challenges" in grabbing the rod due to scar tissue and such. I didn't know doctors used tools referred to as "wrenches" on patients (at least live ones), but in the end he got the job done and I now have a really expensive stainless steel reminder

The flurry of entertaining fan mail continues, and I love it. Another happy shred in Europe's phenomenal snow season writes: "Thanks for truly transforming my season!! I luckily managed to pick up one of your boards, (mixed signals,154), and it totally rocks and has transformed my style, and technique and has given me some extra balls!!", proving a certain colored bovine might give you wings, but

Could this be the elusive agent Green? Our man in Moscow? Caught on (digital) film? Rumor has it that Green has been recruited for his skills in snow shredding to help lead the Automaton insurgency in Russia. Future photographic evidence will reveal the truth. Snowboarding Saves Lives!

At Automaton HQ, we get our fair share of fan mail, sponsor-me "aka gimmie free crap" letters, and such and such. One of the latest is also the most unique. "I can't tell you how much I love my Independent, the ride is amazing. I'm kinda weird and like to dress up in animal costumes. I went to Copper Mountain Colorado and shredded it for a week." Upon futher investigation, homie says "Just to

Agents, agents everywhere. Mike Moreali infiltrated the DC Mtn. Lab last weekend on an all expense paid trip he won somehow. Shredding the Lab, Park City, and creepin' up on Ken Block's rally car here, in front of a bunch of for-rent shreds' lockers. Snowboarding Saves LIves!
