Sometimes you just have to hoist up yr britches, throw caution to the wind, and giv’er hell. This is how ya learn stuff folks. Here’s something that agr has learned from our time in the field.
-Driving can be messy business, especially when you like to keep hydrated like agr does. We got stuck in traffic the other day, and we had been doing some serious hydrating as we don’t roll with AC. Unable to make it to a pit stop, we had to improvise.

That’s right ‘goodreeders. …

With my massive signing bonus from agr, I had the funds to make a trip over to Valle Nevado, Chile and do some snow surfing. Conditions were excellent; sunny with no clouds, 2 meters of snow (that´s over 6´ for those of you aquainted with the archaic US system), and more than 800 hectares of Chilean shRADness. All on opening day. Sick mode.

.note: After this report was filmed, I decided it was time to get radical and …

Thanks to our remarkable increase in readers and the surplus of revenue from advertising, agr has been able to send a field correspondent to South America.
In continuing our commitment to journalistic excellence, we have sent none other than the finest of the Calgary Cavalry, Captain Gill.

Capt.Gill’s first assignment was to document the highly anticipated opening of Valle Nevado Resort in Chile. But for some reason he went to Bolivia, and then got stuck there.
So until we hear further from the Cap’, enjoy the teaser for “No …

Broke out the slip-n-slide this weekend for some slashin’ and thrashin’ at Snoqualmie.

Feda is a gentleman. Here he washes car windows at the gas station, at approximately 9:41 am.
The Signal Park Rocker was there, wild style.
So was Edgers. Edgers knows a thing or two about snowscootin’. But what’s more, he makes a mean guacamole.

Yea Edgers. Get it. All about that cilantro.
Oh yea. This is really important. The Dingo is a hipster.

Very important snowboarding information. (image via lolhipsters)
Heard through the grapevine: Edgers is the …

“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.”
-Lao Tzu
Wise words Lao. Unfortunately, claiming “vagabond” as a profession doesn’t sound as cool to everyone as it does to us.
Plus we really miss the hippness of Seattle . As delightful as the snow of the Wasatch was, the scarcity of chai and incomprehensible indie music that no one knows about left us culturally starved. So we’ve returned home, to the city where drinking malt liquor is cool as long as your pants are snug, …

First of all, your mom lacks substance. Disrespect agr and we blog about yer ass…that’s right fool. Libel for dayzzz.
We have been haunting Brighton Resort lately. A top notch establishment if we ever saw one: good folks, good shred, and free soda. Not free for everybody, just for agr, because we are sponsored.
This is the kind of soda that pros get. It says: “Drink Up. Throw Down”. We do.
Another reason we like Brighton is because it is home to the Dino Bots, and we …

So, agr was supposed to be come home a couple of days ago…

But, for some reason, we are still in Utah. Why we are still here will remain a mystery, but rest assured we are keeping damn busy.

Here’s a sneak peak of what we are up to in the Beehive State:

-Recruiting wives fool…

-Waiting for the winner of the Ski Utah and Winter at Westminster “Invent A New Word For Skiing and Snowboarding Because ‘Riding’ Isn’t Good Enough” to show up. The competition on addictionary.org has a first prize …

Somehow, agr is still in Utah, and this past weekend we went up to Park City for the World Superpipe Championship. We were planning on sharing a comprehensive report with all you ‘goodreed faithful, but there were a lot of distractions and we ended up not paying attention to the snowboarding part of the circus. We know this is a departure from the norm of stellar reporting that agr is known for, but seriously, there was a lot going on.
Namely:

celebrities;
fashion show;
bro-down session;
free stuff;

agr’s good friend Steph can be blamed …

If agoodreed’s extensive traveling has taught us one thing*, it is that we ain’t as radical as we thought we were.
 The latest revelation comes to us from Latvia, via the Volcom Peanut Butter and Rail Jam. (click for event results)
The PBRJ’s come a dime a dozen these days, so what makes this one unique?1) It was in Latvia.2) The highest mountain in Latvia is 312 meters.  agoodreed is twice as tall as that.3) There has only been ten days of snowfall at Zagarkalns, the resort where the jam was held.4) The riders were all nuts.
 Forealdo, watch the …
