The idea is go to shred with all the homies in pucon(kikerland). Pucon is a resort in the south of Chile, is perfect spot to build kicker or spine. The contest was just fun and not get stress. So some crew went to ride the rock , others the drop and others build kickers.

It was just having fun in all moment.

If you are planing to come to Chile you must go to three different spots. portillo, nevados de chillan and pucon .

Going bananas for new diet

banana_lead_wideweb__470x296,2.jpg
A new diet said to result in fast, stress-free weight loss has taken Japan by storm.

The Morning Banana Diet is possibly the world's easist diet to follow - except in Japan where its intense popularity has led to the nation's worst-ever banana shortage.

The Season’s Most Anticipated Snowboard Film to Premiere in Seattle on October 11th! Pro Snowboarder Travis Rice Pioneers New Tricks and Technology In "That's It, That's All."

Seattle, WA (September 30, 2008) – “That’s It. That’s All,” the groundbreaking snowboard film produced by Brain Farm arrives at King Cat Theater on Saturday, October 11th. Travis Rice invites Seattle to join in the epic ride, as he and a dream team crew set out to find the new zones, tricks and a whole new perspective on snowboarding.

“’That’s It, That’s All.’ is epic snowboarding meets Planet Earth,” explains Curt Morgan, President of Brain Farm. “The film is a visually stimulating piece of work that pulls in a wider audience by encompassing the most progressive riding in the world with unbelievable travel and nature footage.”

In an attempt to push the progression of action sports films, “That’s It, That’s All.” raises the bar on both the level of athleticism and quality of production. For two years, producers Rice and Morgan traveled the world in search of conditions that capture the essence of snowboarding. This quest took the riders around the world. Using the features found in these locations, Rice began inventing new tricks including the first landing of a double backside rodeo 1080.

“We put everything we humanly could into the production of this film,” said Travis Rice, pro Snowboarder and Co-Owner of Brain Farm. “Quiksilver and Red Bull stepped up to help us match top caliber riding with the highest possible production quality. Our hope is to showcase snowboarding in a whole new light.”

What: Premiere of snowboarding’s most anticipated new film, “That’s It, That’s All.” Starring pro snowboarder Travis Rice and Mark Landvik.

When: Saturday, October 11th Doors at 7:00PM/Film at 8:00PM

Where: King Cat Theater, 2130 6th Ave., downtown Seattle

Tickets:$10 available at Quiksilver Store, SnoCon, Evo and www.brownpapertickets.com
