Active Ride Shop News

Back in 2001 we with the help of a lot of others, made a snowboard movie.  We did not set out to change the way snowboard movies were made, but rather showcase an entire team as ONE.  We contacted our good friend Neil Goss to see if he still had a copy of the One video.  We will be releasing clips from this movie over the coming weeks, so be sure to check back for the video parts of your favorite Active riders from the past and the present.

Check out the new Down with People Trailer.  Featurinng Active riders:  Bryan Fox, Austin Smtih, Josh Mills, Ryan Thopmson, Simon Chamberlain, Shaun McKay, Nima Jalali, and Stephen Duke.  With a deck that stacked you know this movie will be winner.

Mack Dawg’s new snowboard video, “Double Decade”, looks pretty legit. I can’t believe “Decade” was 10 years ago, it was the first snowboard video I ever saw. Not only did it make me fall in love with snowboarding, but it made me start wearing big chains, baggy snow pants with suspenders hanging off, and crooked goggles on top of my head, I looked kinda like this: (more…)

Check out the new trailer for The New Autumn Line Snowboard Film, “Technicolour” featuring Active Riders: Gabe Taylor, Matt Hammer, Peter Benchetler, Cody Rosenthal, Spencer Link, not to mention the talent of many up and coming riders

Here’s something to help hold you off until next fall. It’s the trailer for next year’s video from Forum Snowboards is called “Forum or Against ‘Em.”

Active supports snowboarding and the people that are out there living it on a daily! This is a crew of shredders making it happen! Check out the movie teaser!

The Bundy vision crew has become a mish-mash of friends mainly based out of Salt Lake that love shreddin? the white wave together everyday. Some days it?s gnarly and other days its care free, but were havin a mighty fine time either way. From concrete and metal to bottomless pow, New York to Mammoth and everywhere in between; we?re getting after it! In the days of over produced, Hollywood shred flicks we?re tryin? to take a fresh approach, we?re not trying to make a movie that you watch and it makes you want to quit ?cuz it seems so insane; we want you to WANT to go shred after watchin? our moving picture! Keep it positive kids! It?s about the process not the destination; and good times with the homies! Look for the video coming Fall 2008!

The crew:

Ted Borland, Jesse Lederer, Steve Peirce, Jesse Anderson, The Spedales, Ratass, Matt Piasecki, Ian Bolls, The Nick, and many other amazing friends

?Sponsor Me? what a concept, in day and age where getting noticed is as difficult as finding a parking spot during Christmas time, Active, Rome, Vans, and Von Zipper simply made it easier by bringing the spot light to Mt. High so kids can show their skills for a shot at a 1 year sponsorship from the these respectable companies. This is the 7th Annual Sponsor Me Contest and by far the best one. The course showcased several different jibs as well as the addition of a 40ft jump this year. The riding was better than we could have ever imagined, not to mention the winner had no sponsors what so ever. We are stoked to be hooking him up for this next year! Big thanks to Rome, Vans, Von Zipper, Vestal, Skull Candy, Mt High, Boost Mobil and Vans for all the support on another great year! (more…)
