AGoodReed / gettin' down to it!

The only thing better than snowboarding is going to snowboard premieres and looking at professional snowboarders. It is difficult to describe the sensation of watching a video of someone else having fun in the snow, and knowing that the fun-having rider is a mere 10 meters away at the bar. To ensure that you get the most out of these premieres, we recommend you heed our guide…

The most important part of the premiere occurs before you arrive at the venue. You need the right “kit.” There are several options that are appropriate for the occasion.

-Snow bro: Adorn a fitted baseball cap that bears a large snowboard corporation logo. Make sure that it is not an “indie” or lesser-well-known company. Good options are DC, Forum, and Burton. If possible, match the logo of your cap to your footwear, which should be pristine skate/BMX shoes. Make sure that the brand of the shoes is visible. Pants should be jeans of the pre-worn style. Torso should be covered by a tight-fitting T-shirt also of a well known snowboard company. Sleeves should only cover 1/3 of upper arm. One–if possible, two–hands should be clutching a Bud Light. Facial hair groomed to a goatee is a plus.

-Gypsy: Ever done acid? That is your inspiration. Headdress, dream-catchers, scarves, jewelry: go all out on this one. Just head over to your grandmother’s house and root through her closet. Mix and match until you look like some sort of Native American pirate. Throw some grease in your hair and use a sweaty gym sock as a headband to get that “I-haven’t-bathed-in-a-month-because-I-have-been-partying-constantly” musk. Learn to roll your own cigarettes and hydrate with PBR.

-Alternative: If you aren’t down with one of the aforementioned styles, why the hell are you going to a premiere? There will not be any babes, no one has any money for drinks and the only topic of conversation will be how over premieres everyone is.

Our first item up for bid will be a private dance lesson with agr. You can’t buy moves like these. Except for now–but it will cost a lot. Totally worth it though.

If generation eXtreme has learned anything from excessive consumption of Mountain Dew and television, it is this: things are much cooler when you are rolling around on wheels. This is the reasoning employed by Heelys.

Danny Way does some big jumps on his skateboard. But the problem with his technique is that it is too similar to actual skateboarding. It is like he is skateboarding, just doing everything bigger. While interesting, it is not zany enough to be considered eXXXtreme.

Skateboarding is coolest when: (a) in a video game, or (b) done in a fashion that really shouldn’t be considered skateboarding. These fellers from Austria have got the idea…

“I had the idea to skate a ski jump some months ago. Red Bull decided to invite some riders for an “Access all Areas” event to make this reality. Check out the first video clip of the session at the ski jump in Wörgl / Tyrol (Austria).” (via Muckerfuck Skateboards)

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. A yellow bottle. It gets you out of a jam, and keeps others from being the wiser.
