Experience Bali

Introducing the Bali Focus. From surfer to environmentalist, the Rob Machado Experience continues, this time focusing on Rob’s passion for photography and directly applying to his signature frame. Each year while Rob was on tour he would travel with different cameras. One year it would be a 35mm, the next it would be a Polaroid. Years later, he would find himself consistently coming back to one of his favorite Indonesian surf spots, where he took this photograph and appropriately named it Bali Focus.

eS Game of S.K.A.T.E. - Ontario Finals

This past Sunday the Ontario finals for the eS Game of S.K.A.T.E. went down. It was a long contest with over 100 skaters vying for the $500 cash prize. Some seriously intense games went down with the provinces best shredders going head to head, but in the end the last two left standing were the past two years previous winners Mike Mains and TJ Rogers. It was an epic game but in the end the victor would be TJ taking out a super game Mains with a perfectly crispy full cab flip. Big ups to TJ, everybody that skated and to everyone that showed up, it was an awesome day and an amazing contest!

Thirty-Two outerwear launch re-cap

The hundreds of snowboarders, retailers, media and hipsters at the ThirtyTwo Outerwear Launch Party, in the etnies Showroom in SoHo last night, won’t ever forget it! They previewed ThirtyTwo’s first- ever outerwear collection, hung out with team riders JP Walker, Joe Sexton and Simon Chamberlain and saw a sneak peak of the ThirtyTwo and StepChild movie “This Video Sucks." The party made such an impact that the NYPD shut it down just before JP Walker’s part was played on the sneak peek. More HERE.

Broken Social Scene - Show of the Year!

If you weren't there then you've probably heard about it and probably know that you missed out BIG TIME! If you were there then you know how epic this show was. Over 6,000 Torontonians packed it in on the edge of Lake Ontario to see their hometown heroes and RVCA friends Broken Social Scene play what has already been touted by local music media as "one of the most significant Canadian concerts of the decade". The band played for nearly 3 hours and were joined on stage by friends Feist, Metric, the Stars, and Jason Collett playing all their classics as well as favourites from the previously mentioned bands. BSS frontman Kevin Drew was even overheard saying "...that was the best show we've ever played". The concert was also filmed my marquee Canadian filmmaker Bruce Macdonald for an upcoming feature film.

Click HERE to see BSS play the classic 'Anthems...' with guests Feist, Emily Haines (Metric), and Amy Millan (Stars). This was the highlight of the show.

Formerly recognized as Freshjive

From Rick Klotz; Since I started Freshjive, I have had a personal conflict with this business of "branding". In fact, I was so conflicted at one time, that I quit working. I am in the business of promoting the company brand yet personally I am not interested in items for the brand name. It's a bit of a quagmire with me because I hate the culture of promoting a brand yet I enjoy designing clothes and t shirt designs.

Beginning with our spring 2010 line, we will no longer be using our brand logo or name on any of our product, including all labeling and t shirt designs. Nowhere on any product will our name or previous brand logo be used anymore.

AKAMP

32 and etnies were proud to sponsor the opening of the AKAMP, a snowboard/ski/skate summer camp in Mont St-Sauveur. Two set-ups were made for the campers : one (first picture) consisted of a jibbing park with ledges and rails and the second had a jump and two rails. A big thumbs up to Max Brochu for this growing event. More than 60 campers were able to shred for a couple of days in the middle of summer, when snow usually is only in our best dreams. This gave the kids an opportunity to push some more in their bag of tricks. Thanks and big props to the AKAMP!

Cdn Cnrt Kirkstone

Huge amount of shouts to Blaise for putting this down every single year. Always amazing and this Kirkstone edition was no different. The proof was over 60 people turning up to enter and ride, as well as tricks getting done in this park that have never been done, huge transfers, massive fly-outs to the grass field over the ridiculous height fence, as well as the young riders throwing down bigger than they should be able to. 3 Ride, TSG, etnies, LRG, Haro, Premium and Dragon all helped out the cause. Next one is Lafarge Park in Poco on July 26!
