File under: Things not really needed

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

I’m not someone who’s opposed to doing something just for the sake of doing it. You need to remember that I once bought two ASIMO robots simply to stage chariot races. Only to find out the ASIMO Harness League doesn’t really exist. I also built a Tesla coil in my backyard, but the city shut it down. The iron fist of Edison still exists. Be afraid ‘merica.  I’ve also been credited with inventing vegetables.

Certainly you understand I am no stranger to the superfluousness, but sometimes we as a species just go to far.

por ejemplo:

FRAMES -snowboarding shortfilm teaser from Flatlight Films on Vimeo.

We DO NOT need a slower snowboarding video. What we need is a shrad flick that can keep me awake for more than seven minutes.

Then again maybe this is in a whole different class of videos, and needs to be enjoyed for the simple fact that high-speed cameras make it look pretty cool.  It’ll be like when Audi got kicked out of rally racing.

Or better yet they should market it as “The Snowboardingest Slow Movie Ever!” because really, the high-speed cameras are the star of this show. And I don’t think anyone can take the crown of “Slowest” from Standard Films.

Just looking at their website put me to sleep. This post was supposed to go up yesterday, but I was comatose.

Some other things I would like to do in life, just to say I did it:

  • Whaling.
  • Conquer Mario 2
  • Own a megaphone
  • Prepare a Thai meal that doesn’t turn out garbage barged.
  • Aubrey Plaza
  • Marijuana topiaries of classic scenes from Richard Donner films

The End of Snowboarding, Again

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

This is when snowboarding died for the 63,477 time. I found this in my twitter trough this morning:

Shit. Sliding on the kitchen floor. LOL! Like that one works. That’s just Bigga B’s way of making you mentally fuck yourself. Because you slide and you put your left foot forward. Hmmm that felt okay. Then you slide again and put your right foot forward. Guess what, that felt okay too. Do it over and over and over and over and over again like a song by the Rapture off the better album.  Doesn’t matter, because you’re sliding on your damn kitchen floor. Your body can go both ways in such an environment. You are in no better position when you step out on the snow.

SIDEBAR: It is important to take note of the assumptions made by Bigga B’s recommendation here. To slide on the floor they are assuming:

  • You can afford socks.You have kitchen large enough to slide in.
  • Your kitchen floor is made of hardwood or some other slick surface.
  • Your nanny isn’t going to yell at you for running in the house.
  • You’re white and at least middle class.

Maybe if the old slide-on-the-floor trick doesn’t work, you should try this— Stand at the top of a flight of stairs (because you’re white and middle class we’ll assume you’ve  got a grand staircase in your house to use), close your eyes and have a friend push you from behind. What foot do you use to catch yourself? If it’s you right foot, you’re a goofy footer. If you extended your left foot, you’re regular footed.  If you fell and knocked out any noticeable teeth buy a Rome.

The other option is to go rent your gear and when the rental tech says, “You need me to set this up goofy or regular?” Simply look at him and say, “It’s cool the way it is, bro.”

DO NOT FORGET TO SAY “BRO.”

You want to take the board as-is for two reasons. The first being it’s best not to let rental techs actually touch the gear you’ll be using. You have at least an 85% chance of regretting letting them set it up for you. Now compare that with just taking the board as it is. It’s either going to be regular or goofy. So you’ve got a 50% chance of it being set up the way you need it.

After a few runs you’re going to figure it out. “If I ride regular, I can kind of ride this thing. If I ride goofy, it reminds me of trying to get away from the neighbors dog that is always humping my leg.”

And then you have it figured out. You’re either regular or goofy.

Part 2: I wasn’t done with this ordeal. I had to dig a bit deeper. So I clicked on Starshinexx’s profile and saw this:

Fucking hell.

For all those times we’ve blamed anyone else (ESPN, Shaun “Gator II” White, Nike et al) for ruining snowboarding, look who’s doing it now. Sure there are some of us who have suspected for a long time that Bigga B was the real culprit, but never has the proof been so evident. Here they are pandering to some broad who in the hours before was dropping lines about the Kardashians, Ke$ha, and the Teen Choice Awards. It was the escape from people like this that made snowboarding so amazing. And yet here’s B talking about how counter culture they are, designing unlikely futures and all that, then they open the floodgates to bring these people in.

I’m putting 15:1 odds on this broad buying her gear at her locally owned Shrad Shop. There are also even odds she’s getting a Bigga B set up. And better than even odds that if she knew how to take a proper self-pic we would see she’s making a duckface.

I need to shower.

Wintar Watch Twenty-Leven!

Friday, August 6th, 2010

You can tell wintar is coming because all these women are practically running away from the Bigga B store. Blanco must be in there. Maybe BrrrrrmBrrrrrrm Jones too.

Aint no pro-hos in SoHo?

On the other hand, this is pretty much the most unattractive group of women I have ever seen in New York. This is like some fucked up NYCxMKE collabo.

I saw the press release today that Luke Mitrani is officially head-to-toe Volcom this winter. Which is good for the V.Co. and probably doesn’t matter to the B.Co. But yeah, it’s time we start thinking about winter on these 90degree days.

I also got some press release from DC regarding the Xgames, but that one just went directly into my trash.

Snowman Cometh…

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Ellipsis. Suck it old boss. This is bloggerism and your Religious fanatacism has no sway here. Imma ellipsis in blogs for ever. IRL, I just SMH.

While Yobeat is over there hyping up the latest vids to be released (I warned you in the spring, it’s all cutting room floor crap), Imma gonna keep you on top of shit right here. You can officially quit glimpsing split second clips of Burton decks and Capita’s creepshow army, and gawk longingly—it’s catalogue time, MFers

So get with it, 2011 shrad is on the way. Case in point, I picked this beast up at MODA3 today. You could also read that as MODA3 2day, or MODA-Kevin McHale-day. Brand standards just went right out the window with that one. Anyway I grabbed the 2011 Burton Catalogue:

I have placed it here next to a quarter and a rumorator.com business card, for scale. First thing you’ll notice is that it’s much bigger than last year’s bible concept (assuming you can remember that far back). But oddly enough I think the weight is roughly  the same. Lighte-weight paper stock, no embossed cover and fuck those foiled edges.  It’s nice to see that after dropping about $5/catalogue last year, running short on them , and raising a ton of speculation as to why the board prices went up, Big B opted to go for something a lot less conceptual. The irony of it is I think it’s a lot better catalog, in that there aren’t themes fighting throughout, like last year, and only the premium lines are differentiated. That damn bible had a new theme every seven pages.

So lets flip it open.

Oh look, Mason Aguirre isn’t mentioned anywhere. I guess he’s cut this year. Nico gets mentioned but doesn’t get pics. Nike doesn’t own Burton, but they are kind of owning them.

The price on Jeremy Jones board dropped by about $100, or as I like to think of it $10 less dollars that is going to some lunatic pack of MOMOs. And of course he has got some motorcycle/americana motif happening. FUCK BURTON, HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE A SHITTY MOTOCYCLE THEMED BOARD BEFORE YOU REALIZE IT’S OVER? Remember when Ride was making those motocross themed KH series or whatever they were. Well, they learned their lesson.

T-minus four years until he dumps a broad’s body in the desert and they track it back to him because of the bandana.  The Gatoring continues. Brought to you by Target.

Oh look it’s the “B by” line. Great. I hope a lot of lades love this line. But most women don’t bother to try and look like girls whilst getting the shrad. So this is really made to appeal to the guys who buy their ladies new clothes. And if that is the case I’m going to make the entire “B by” line more appealing with one, masterful cut and paste.

You see what happened there?

Okay now lets move on. The women’s outerwear line has three vest options. The guys? Nada. WTF Bigga B? All I want is a vest like the AK ones you used to make. Can we make that shit happen?

Also The Nug. Fuck that. It’s called The Lunch Tray, and Morrow made it in 1992-ish.

Lastly the women’s Lipstick.

I think they forgot to highlight “Inspired by Capita” in the features. Right next to Infinite Ride, Bro.

Speaking of Capita: Click it!

And know you might be saying to yourself, “Oh but Rumorator that shit is kind of blurry.” Doesn’t matter broder. They got a zoom  and all you really need to look at is right here:

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to prop up this closer from the Burton Catalogue:

Buy local, because we would hate to see people in your community lose their jobs. Besides we outsource enough for everyone. FACT: Not one item in the new B catalog is produced in the US.

BUY LOCAL SUCKERS!

In closing, you might want to watch the latest Knife Show video if you haven’t seen it.

Like the Salmon of Capistrano

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

I can’t believe a year has already passed since we last had to face this shit. None the less, it’s back. And there is even more  mind-blowing counting-to-potato then ever.

Let’s watch:

Now we’re going to go through this one together. Remember to turn the page when you hear the magic magnet chime.

  1. “Magic in the air. Comradery (camaraderie?), family, love”–C’mon really. This is how you follow up calling magnets miracles? Fuck, boss. I’ve been to music festivals and they always suck 4 hours into them, after you see your high school art teacher drunk and fighting kids younger than you in “the pit.” jocko/juggalo. Same mentality.
  2. You’ll meet people from everywhere which includes Minnesota, Connecticut, and Nova Scotia? Sounds like there are going to be a lot of white folks there.
  3. “You’ll Probably get laid.” I’m pretty sure Mel Gibson just got in heaps of trouble for essentially saying the same thing to his  girlie. Okay maybe he had a different inflection in his voice, but you get the picture.
  4. “The one and only Awesome Dre” sheeeeeeeeeit. I promise you he did not get that name anywhere but the internets. I can also give you at least six reasons I don’t think DUDE is awesome.
  5. SUGAR SLAM IS BACK! looking a bit more haggard and taking up a little more room on that car seat. If you know what I’m saying.
  6. An ode to the Wild Wild West, with no mention of Dru Hill or the Fresh Prince?
  7. “Smash through the glass as the fireworks blast.” Don’t worry there is only 16 minutes left. WOOP WOOP!
  8. Psycopathic Rydas RYDAS! Don’t give up now. Stay with me. Something makes me suspect these guys write their own music.
  9. Blaze Ya Dead Homie, doesn’t seem very dead to me. Then again I don’t think Juggalos are to be trusted with their “your/you’re” usage.
  10. Boondox such a pseudonym seems rather unrelated to being a scarecrow. Not a lot of farming going on in the Boondocks.
  11. Anybody Killa I think this might be Greg Machotka’s rapping pseudonym. Sounds like him anyway. Lispy fucker. Actually I bet GM could do better rapping. This is so shitty.
  12. No one has been talking about the Dayton Family.
  13. Naughty By Nature, Method Man and Redman. And we’re just getting warmed up! Method Man is to WuTang Clan as  David Lee Roth is to Van Halen.
  14. Tom Green is still alive. I guess that’s a good thing. Also, he slept with Drew Barrymore.
  15. Gallagher, because it seems Tom Green isn’t past-his-prime enough. Juggalos, maybe your parents will come along. You can all paint up your faces together.
  16. “He does have good dick jokes.” At this point Sugar Slam pretty much knows she’s getting laid at the end of this infomercial, whether she wants it or not.
  17. Brotha Lynch Hung wishes he was from Fillmore or Vallejo. Guaranteed.
  18. Enormous heroes Sounds like a couple of fat dudes. I would rather see Down By Law.
  19. Warren G obviously had some influence in the videos made by this lot.
  20. Ladies Night on the second stage. Because they are second class citizens? Nope. Because there will only be like 25 females in attendance. Probably a fair amount of swervin’ going on though. Same thing, right?
  21. Afroman and Coolio will be there. Kevin Smith and Michelle Pfeiffer will not.
  22. For real, there seems to be an overweight white guy theme all over this.
  23. And I do mean everything. Get this dude an Oscar!
  24. Good to see they have helicopter rides again this year, and even used the same piece of stock footage.
  25. The Alfred Hitchcock of Hiphop Hmmm, so you’re  saying he white and overweight too?
  26. Fuck that midget has a head like a Beluga Whale.
  27. Bubble Foam Party Again you’re probably going to get laid.
  28. Dammit They just said Milwaukee.
  29. Wrestling
  30. Something about a movie
  31. Tickets available at Hot Topic. Obviously

Huge thanks to Cizarek Leopold Kilbaski for bringing this to my attention.

Okay, if you hung out through that let me try to make things a little bit better for you. Nowhere is coming.

I just hope they don’t put any music from The Who in it this year.

Requiem for a Tumbler and a couple other things

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Damn, what was it? Four years ago?

To be honest, I can’t even remember how this tumbler came into my possession. I think I had a choice between this and some hat that certainly wasn’t going to fit on my head, so I took the tumbler. I was shacked up in a condo will way too many shreds, and my homey James, who works for Backcountry/Huck-n-Roll, dropped this  bad boy  on me.  It was in a lot better shape then. No dents and the grippy rubber strips weren’t peeling off. And had the Backcountry logo on it for a long time too. But I’m a fan of a good mug so I held onto this beast.

I drank up some coffee outta this guy everyday, for at least two years straight. Sadly the foam bottom started peeling off recently, and then it was just a matter of time before before the shit completely ripped off during a washing. Now, I can’t have the hole in the bottom filling up with water and getting all gross. That’s an ironic statement considering the condition the part of Tumbler I actually put my mouth on and drink from.

Tumbler will be put in the garbage sometime this afternoon. R.I.P. old friend.

Moving on:

The Wicked Smahts of Facebook

This popped up on my facebook account the other day. The brain power behind facebook is out of hand.

Surfing: Many people who like snowboarding also like this.
Music: many people who like reading also like this.

Might I also suggest these pairings:

  • Drinking: many people who like eating also like this.
  • Misogyny: many people who like whores also like this.
  • The Tea Party Movement: Many people who like racism also like this.
  • Butt Sex: Many people who like rumorator.com also like this.
  • Crying alone: Many people who like Cosplay also like this.

Geniusary.

One last thing

Want to learn to snowboard, and laugh at the Milwaukee suburbs? Here’s the easy way:

MADE – MTV Shows

To make it even easier on yourself, just skip to the last 2 minutes and laugh at the announcer with a lisp. Dude had to get subtitled. Sucker.

(also it’s way easier to watch it by clicking here)

SHOUT OUT! to MTV for keeping low-res alive.

The Heir Apparent in Snowboard Bloggins

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Blogger formerly known as Shayboarder

Maybe you haven’t heard yet. Maybe you don’t have your ear to the ground. But ol’ Rumorator does, and I can tell you a couple things. First off, the Sioux are coming. About a hundred of them. On horses. Secondly, it seems our fellow blogger and part time nemesis, Shayboarder, is leaving her post.

She’s heading off to do some social media guru-izing at Windell’s Summer Shrad Sleep-a-way Camp. Well I took college algebra a couple of times, so I can do the math on this one. I’m seeing a serious fall-off in Shay’s bloggins. I’m guessing 90% of her blogs are going to read like this, “Calvin, from Minneapolis, pissed his bed last night, but it’s cool because he still rides better than you.”

Pffft. That ain’t what the blogdoggers of the world want to read. They’re out there sitting at their computers, with their pants at their ankles, looking to read some grown shit. So when it comes to Shrad Blogs that leaves like three choices—Rumorator, Heiligenschein or ChimichangasAndSlush. I mean, yeah, there are other bloggermans and bloggermamas out there but if you want the grit you know where you go. I’m not gonna deny that Shay will still be presenting some facts about bedwetters and heavy shredders, but if you wanna get the filth between the lines, Rumorator.com is going to be giving it to you. The real people want the shradfacts run through the interpretation machine. Factors need mitigating.

So what I’m going to do is hang out and wait for Shayboarder to slide her contact list over my way. Then she can call all of her peoples and be like “My shred bloggins games is done, so you’re probably going to want to talk with Rumorator. Also that kid right there. (points to the little kid sitting above that double kink)Yeah him.  He pissed his bed last night.”

Of course this does mean an end to the hide-n-seek Shayboarder product give-a-ways, as anything I get Imma flip on ebay for coke money. But I do promise if you find me, Imma give you an overwhelming sense of disappointment and a feeling similar to what you felt when you finished reading Last Exit to Brooklyn. If you want a hint, look for me in back room of asian grocery stores. If you thought The Deer Hunter was edgy, man you haven’t seen nothing. That shit was 40 years ago. Deniro, Walken, They can’t dangle on what happens stateside these days.

Well, maybe they could because they’re big readers of this bloggins right here.

Fuck, broder, this shit is way bigger than just the shrad game.

Still, I was brought up as a shrad blogger, and forever a shrad blogger I shall be. Sure you’re going to see some shit that might not let you sleep well over in this corner of the cybernets, but that’s the way the tubes was meant to work. Levelling up.

But to bring it full circle. Shay’s getting more grown up-ish and I think it’s time you did as well. So stop getting your fix from the hackwork and turn to the obvious choice. I can see you’ve already found it.

Edit: It seems that Laurent Potdevin is out over at Burton. LP and and Shayboarder splitting on the same day. I’m smelling conspiracy. That right there is seeing the big picture.

Addendum: Don’t even tell me you never finished reading Last Exit to Brooklyn, only to find yourself not wanting to get out of bed for like a week.

What ever happened to Anne-Flore Marxer?

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

I posed this question last month because we never, EVER hear of her in the US anymore. And that is a shame. The girl has more style than like 500 Rumorators. A few years ago she got the boot from the Burton team and has since been nearly invisible. Okay, so I didn’t so much pose this question, it was more of the statement “stop wondering what ever became of Anne-Flore Marxer.”

Then this gem dropped in the comments:

hey this is me you are talking about.. it’s just a really weird and random comments.. as if I had died or something.. you probably missed my Transworld pro spotlight this year :) anyways the problem is that I don’t compete, i ride backcountry and shoot all year around, but being european girl shredder does not help getting a US major film crew.. the whole industry really is not helping the female riders at all.. so even if I shoot all year around and great pics I still don’t have a film crew.. if you have any tips let me know cause I really don’t see how I could change that.

So I guess AFM reads rumorator.com or at least followed the google alert for her name. That pretty much makes my day. Seriously, A.F.M. This shradmama is 100% radness. YES!

Yes, Anne-Flore, I did miss your pro spotlight in transworld this year. But really I’ve missed everything in Transworld Snowboarding since that Terje interview in like 1999.  So don’t put too much weight on that.

I guess the real issue out there is that she no longer has the mega-media machine of Burton behind her, so she’s having a harder time getting some hype in the US. But she’s still out there, and I can only assume she’s killing it. In fact if you want to catch up with her she’s got a blog happening in the intarweb. You can check her out here: Annefloremarxer.com and you can get in her Twitter trough here.

Now since she asked for some advice, I’ve got this for her:

Anne-Flore, you’ve got to update a bit more on the reg. It’s nearly a month between posts going on over there. Keep your fans updated at least once a week. And as far as being a female in the male-dominated world of the shrad. I’m sorry. You’re a great rider, the old media is dumb and you’re not nearly enough of a dirtbag (or redhead hooked-up by Red Bull) to appeal to the current US market.

On the other hand, you’re spending all year riding in the backcountry. This is not a bad thing. It’s pretty much a dream come true. Live it up.

But now that I know you’re out there still I’m going to keep keeping up on you. And if you ever want to to get dinner or see a movie, let me know.

Be well,

RvR

ps. What ever happened to Stefan Gimpl?

Video Hyper Shred

Because they are doing crap like this:

Video Hyper Shred Teaser – March 2010 from Video Hyper Shred on Vimeo.

And now that you’ve treated your eyes, take care of your teeth. Minneapolis peoples are going to be getting sparkling chompers with the Wu deck and toothbrush kit. I don’t know if those are really Meth’s hands.

I don’t even know if that’s really Meth.

And just to get your jock on in time for opening day, check this out:

The Cubs Suck Club

Now if you don’t mind I’m going to go back to hoping that the soundtrack to Russell Crowe’s Robin Hood, will be as sonically-epic as Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood.
