Nice debut webisode for the new series Snowboarding’s Dead. ย People may underestimate how much fun can be had in the midwest and just what kind of talent pool exists there. ย It might not have a lot of elevation but its cold and the people are really cool….love how he gets a fist bump out of the cop. Classic.

“This is episode 1 of snowboarding’s dead, an inside look at Minnesota, a hub for snowboarding, and all around amazing place. Over the years, a lot of great snowboarders have come from Minnesota, and as i spend more time there, it becomes more and more apparent why. Not known for its Big mountains, but more for rope tows, amazing snowboard parks and a snow blanketed urban landscape make this place one of a kind. Minnesota also has some awesome local shops, including Zombie, youth shelter supply, Damage, and cal surf. This place rules and if you get a chance to go hang there I strongly suggest it”
