Jason Dubois wins SnowMission 2010

matel — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 19:06:48 +0000

I FOUND Positive machine Jason Dubois wins it all at Mont-Comi for the fifth edition of the SnowMission. Once again the set up was just crazy, inspired by a well known Quebec street rail. The competition was tight but with the flaming riding of Jason and his hability to stomp as much as he wants the win was in his pocket. Congratulations Jason, you deserve it. Big up to all the workers who helped build this nice course and to Alternative for their never ending love of snowboarding. See you next year.

Consequences of the flaming success of the SHAKEDOWN in eastern Canada, the guys at Dizzle teamed up with Ride once again, but this time their plan is to bring the Shakedown in the USA, at Summit at Snoqualmie, WA. This contest has the reputation to be the most appreciated by all the riders and spectators.

IFOUND has been their official headwear sponsor since day 1, and with the launch of I FOUND USA in 2010, nothing could show better what we’re all about: having fun! Come and visit our booth in in the Shakedown Village and meet the Positive Group.

Switzerland LOVE!!!

matel — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:43:38 +0000

Hi. After the ISPO mission, we had the great idea to go see what’s up with the Switzerland snow. Unfortunately no big dumps for us but Leysin had a nice snowpark and good weather to offer. We’ve been well received by our Positive Rider Tonton Holland who’s living on Leysin 2 minutes walk from the slope, thanks for the hook up. A couple of gangstars from Advita were in the area so we had some good days on the mountain, good party etc. “Voici” some random shots of the trip.

German Swiss road.

Insane tunnels back to back.

Mountain road to Leysin.

A nice simplified map of Leysin.

A little warm up jump from Tonton, Swiss machine.

We wanted to feel the European touch, wine and cheese on the top.

Tonton and Guillaume enjoying it all.

FX and Matel cheering it up.

We had to go drop the rental car in Lausanne. By the way we found a nice city filled with ladies and art.

Insane box art by unknown artist. Crazy stuff.

Back to Leysin for some more snowboarding.

Braaapppp!!!

Enjoy snowboarding.

Peace.
