Volcom presents the full face zip with eye sockets.  This is a great jacket for the 2009 season.

Exclusive art concept by artist Chrissy LoConti.  This is a snowrev bag for girls.

Chrissy designed a majority of the Snowrev products and is now introducing her own line of jewelery and apparel called Dirty Pretty Things.  Be on the lookout for it very soon.

Nike Snowboard Boots. This is the official thread of the entire 2009 Nike Boot Line. Not only has Nike entered the Snowboard market once again, they invested in some heavy snowboarders to back them up. Among the five other team members that will be on the Nike squad is two time Olympic competitor Danny Kass. Joining him will be Louie Vito, Annie Boulanger, Justin Benee, Eric Jackson and Laura Hadar. The boots will probably be really comfortable.

Nike is known for making comfortable footwear and their boots will be no exception. They are designed with a skate style appeal and if as much focus goes into these boots as Nike puts into their running shoes you should get yourself a pair.

Suburban Blend is the newest RIDER OWNED AND OPERATED snowboard shop on the East Coast. It definitely has mad credibility since the owners have appeared snowboarding in magazines, videos, mtv, Burton Ads, Billabong posters and more. This is the place that brings the life of snowboarding to a city in New York State, Jamestown to be exact. This shop creates the snowboarding feeling, and you can tell that it is rider owned. Suburban Blend is officially a Snowrev PROPER PLACE.

Today marked the official re-opening of Suburban Blend, with a shop full of the dopest snowboard gear and brought a good turn out of local shredders.

View inside the shop. Tons of goods, and a knowledgeable staff that will help you get on the board you should be on. BUY YOUR GEAR FROM SNOWBOARDERS THAT KNOW WHATS UP.

This is the back room with the wall size snowboard video screen. This is the best spot for east coast kids to enjoy the cinema. You have to see this place. Creates a comfortable feel and you know your working with true snowboarders. You can feel it in the air when you walk in.
