A couple things come to mind when the name Lucas Magoon is mentioned.

Who wouldn’t want to watch thyself snowboard in 120 frames per second?  Who likes HD video on the internet?
For those of you who always keep one eye on the latest and greatest camera’s, you’ve heard about the series of RED by Jim Jannard.  Mr Oakley himself.  Some people struggle with drug abuse, driving over the speed limit, good grades in school and even eating healthy.  We struggle with this thing called the internet.  Something Al Gore invented? We just can’t seem to pry ourselves away from the web on dreary …

There you can find pictures of cute, furry creatures, pro skateboarders in dire/tender moments and even some village persons for good measure.

Coooooooooooooooooool!
Lastly, the rapturous excitment I’ve experienced as a result of the release of this has raised my voice a few octaves and turned me into a callow schoolgirl once more, as is the case every …

For those who haven’t seen the radar of South America in the last 2 weeks you may have missed the 4 feet of snow that came through the Southern Hemisphere.  We have a rule here at the AGR office; when it snows, we don’t work.
The DC Snow Team frequents Chile and happened to be here for the last 2 weeks. AGR hung low as Devun and the fellas did their thing. It wasn’t tell we hit the bar when things got a little out of hand.  You …
