Hello Darlings…just here to explain that the spring stock is in stock, and we wanted to display our brands awesome amazing powers.

get ready for fashion.

What? are those cutoffs? Is Nick a nevernude? Nope, Those are boardshorts that look like cutoffs…Pretty amazing when worn with a harsh tank. Nicholas is ready for summer.

Lizard King is so hot right now…and what a time to see all of his signature apparel, right down to the Supra Bullets on the models feet. Tres Chic le Lizard!

Nicholas’ hair states…”I really don’t give a care bro”; but this outfit by Volcom makes everyone else in the room care, 2010 is the year of the Poncho. Who cares? You.

Those who like a tight tranny will appreciate these Elwood Drehobl jeans and accompanying Elwood OG logo T. Bring on the DIY Crete I say!

On a recent trip to Scandinavia Nicholas decided there would be no deoderant or socks in his life. It was a lifestyle choice he is happy with, but not as happy as he is with his WeSC cardigan, Slim Jeans and T-Shirt.

LRG is here.

Pastels are to be rocked only on Wednesdays and Saturdays according to the 1563 Munich Charter, Nicholas says “Fuck it” in his Lifetime hoody and jeans and hopes the world listens.

Its been a long winter, and the plank riding season is almost upon us. Altamont anticpates this season by bringing us skateable fashion that has you in mind. Its a hoody/jean combo that makes this classic, however, the Fallen Slash’s are the icing on the cake.

Weird post? hope so.

Yay Spring.

In the world of skateboarding the measurement of “proness” comes with the coveted signature shoe deal.

Spring 2010 brings us an assortment of sick new pro models from pretty much all of our brands. Heres a run down.

For all of those who couldn’t make it this past weekend to our beautiful city’s downtown, you missed a great show! The 3rd annual Urbanbutter showcase took place down at the Waterfront Wearhouse.  Although the venue changed from last year, some the best riders in the east were there to show off their skills.

There was snowboarding and skiing going on all night, with a 30 foot screen showing Olympic events (us wining 3 Golds!!) with some great access to the bar/food inside. The music was playing and the vibe was great, despite the torrential rain the day before. There were 3 rails set up with the competition being in a rail jam style. Heats were set up so judges could catch every run and not miss anyone. There were a few terrible bails, with one of the first guys to hit the set up leaving in a stretcher (we hope you’re ok!) and definitely a few boards with some serious damage.

The night was a success, with people throwing some sick tricks, pushing each other and landing those last few to land themselves into the top spots.

And the results are for anyone who missed out:

Men’s Snowboarding: 1st Ben Horlings (walked away with $1000 and lots of great gear/product), 2nd Dustin Marshell (walked away with $500 and more swag) & 3rd Dave Graunn

Women’s Snowboarding: 1st Charlotte Butcher (walked away with $500 and tons of swag!), 2nd Anne Gillbert & 3rd Sarah Payzant

Men’s Skiing: 1st Collin Southerland (also walked away with $1000 bucks!), 2nd Charles Stevens & 3rd Chris Slaunwhite

There was a party afterwards at the waterfront Warehouse where all of us spectators went in to get warm and with the riders still in snowboard gear partying just as hard as everyone else. Tons of product was handed out through out the night. It was a mellow hang out with some great dance sessions by a few drunken participants! Love it. Get times had by all!

Almost all of the ProSkates/ProGirl family was out to play and it was great to see everyone.

A big thank you goes out to Dwayne at Urbanbutter for putting this on for the 3rd year, and all the other local shops/sponsors who where a part of it also. We’re all making snowboarding and skiing a bigger part of everyday life here on the east coast!  And of course to all the participants who threw down, it wouldn’t be possible with out you!

Here are some photos from the night! If you hae any feel free to send them to Sarah @ info-progirl@hotmail.com

See you on the hill.

We got an exciting email recently from Pictou County’s finest filmer Brad MacDonald giving us a heads up on the release of his new video entitled The Chronicles if Zander. It features the shredding talent of Alexander Mitchell and looks like its going to be a corker. If you’ve seen Alex skate than you’ll know how sick he is. It was filmed all up and down this fine province, but Brad states the majority of it was filmed in Pictou County. I’m not sure if Brad is going to have a part too…I didn’t see him in the trailer…but it will be dope if he did too. Peep the trailer and stay tuned.

Ladies and gentlemen,

This is going to be a busy week for us snowboarders, with Urban Butter this weekend in downtown Halifax and on WEDNESDAY NIGHT there is a ROME snowboard demo at Martock. If you’ve ever wondered how a Rome board rides, well now is your chance to ride one for yourself. The demo starts at 5pm and runs until 9pm, so make sure you get there with plenty of time to try EVERY board you wanted with time to spare for a drink or two afterwards. Gabe is bringing mens and ladies boards so there in no excuse…The whole crews going to be there, so come, try a NEW board and ride with us!

See you on Wednesday.

Early last Saturday morning, Martock gathered youth of all abilities and from all areas for Youth Gone Wild 3! All participants were age 13 and under, and other then their size, you’d never know it… Some of these kids cruised through the park with such ease and style, you know the kind that most of us try to achieve our whole snowboarding lives. The progression within the competition was awesome, with some kids hitting the biggest features with no thoughts on how hard they could hit the ground. The morning went by quickly, with Sparkles on the mic calling tricks and yelling some encouragement. It was a laid back atmosphere, kids just taking run after run and trying to land the best tricks. The kids were stoked on their runs and even more excited about the prizes!

 

Cole Parsons was the big winner for the event walking away with some Anon goggles and other swag. There were so many kids that threw down and won some cool items, including both the ladies who participated!

All participants were proud to wear “I ride for Kevin” arm bands, showing their support for the Burton Team rider who is now out of a coma.

A big thank you to Jon Sparkes our local Burton rep who has put this competition for the last 3 years. He never forgets the little guys!

See you on the hill!
