We would like to welcome JumpCamp to our slowly growing list of sponsors. JumpCamp can help you hit the big booters in the snowboard park, slide those hand-rails downtown in the streets, drop some harsh steep chute or plop down a ten set of pillows with confidence. Check out JumpCamp here.

The three snowboarders from Canada that qualified for the half-pipe finales in Sungwoo, Korea this Saturday unfortunately didn’t take a stand up to the podium. Justin Lamoureux, Crispin Lipscomb, and Sarah Conrad.
Amoung the twelve male finalists, Squamish, British Columbia’s Lamoureux was the highest ranking Canadian, taking sixth as a result of the first of his two descents, where he earned 38.6 points. Today’s results were his best World Cup result since his fourth place finish in March 2005 at the Lake Placid World Cup.

The 2010 Olympics are coming, and the gadgets are evolving. One example is the Flaik, it’s basically a real-time GPS tracking device that lets you calculate your snowboard or skiing speed, distance and altitude. We’ll call it the Nike+ for the snow. The little black box can send information through your cellphone, were not sure how yet (Bluetooth?), and to the web so you can view your statistics and track your progress online.

JumpCamp, one of Vancouver-island’s best kept secrets, is ripping right along this season. They run off of Forbidden plauteau Mountain, and have a 400cm mid-mountain snow base! That is just HUGE.
They have some trips planned for Mount Cain and some backcountry snowmobiling adventures. If you are interested in JumpCamp and how you can get in on the action, head on over to their site and check it out. We hope soon to send an official Boarding Canada writer out there to see how much air these guys are really gettin’.

Theres nothing like having a 45minute+ run down a mountain, the never ending feel of endless cruising and carving is really something else. We had a chance to visit the future spot of the 2010 Olympics this weekend, and although the we missed 40cm of powder from the previous weekend, the runs were nice and smooth up top with plenty of routes to keep us tranquil.

It’s the off season for us snowboarders here in Canada. We’ve got one more trip planned out to Whistler in May, but after that it will be several months before I get another taste of powder. How do you keep your edge when you are not on the slopes? The Extreme Balance Board is the key. This is the training tool for the Canadian Snow Board Federation, Vancouver Canucks, and many other competitive sports organizations that understand the extreme benefits behind core strength and a sharp balanced mind.

Rossignol is bringing many new innovations the way of snowboarding, and one of them is the Rossignol Mini. At first you’d think it’s a kid’s board, but at second glance it’s much wider and stiffer. This mini is a mere 121cm, but built for adults.

Welcome to our first official snowboard review. Rossignol is also our first official manufacturer to jump on the review sponsor list and send us a couple sweet boards, first up is the 2008 Rossignol Decoy 155. We’d like to thank Rossignol for supporting the new site and also our readers! They will be going up in our sponsor section shortly. Now on with the review.
Rossi seems to be taking over lately and some may say it’s the future of snowboarding. Riding the decoy, I’m starting to believe what people are saying is true.

The Canadian Snowboard team is wrapping up a phenomenal season, and the stage is set for one of the most exciting events of the year – the 2007 Honda Canadian National Snowboard Championships. It’s been an impressive year for many of Canada’s riders, with World Cup wins and a dozen podium finishes, Canadian Open Snowboard Tour and NorAm wins, and the first-ever appearance at the Canada Winter Games. And to cap off a great season, next week they will all converge on Calgary and Banff to battle it out for the title of National Champion in their discipline.Check dates and locations after the jump.

That is the very exact question I asked myself when I saw these three guys slung up on a contraption which looked like recovering broken bone victims in a hospital bed. It was over the weekend on my usual trip to Mount Washington, where I saw this Hangboarding contraption. It combines snowboarding, hang gliding and mountain biking. If you like all three, you may like hangboarding, if not, you may just like to get a rush off screaming down a snow covered hill head first. Check out the video and more pics after the jump.

Drew Neilson of North Vancouver won the bronze medal on Saturday in the men’s snowboardcross competition to earn the FIS World Cup season title in the event.
Neilson, a three-time World Cup snowboard cross winner this season, reached a career goal. ‘’ I’m really stoked about winning my first Crystal Globe (season title) today,’’ said Neilson. ‘’I had a good day today, but I would have loved to finish with another win. I rode well, but just didn’t have a great start on my final run. The Crystal Globe is something I’ve been working towards for my whole career, and it feels great to finally be able to claim that title.’’
