Not a lot of people would understand this, and sometimes I'm not sure I understand it myself, but my collection of vintage snowboarding media is kind of, um... massive. Imagine bins stacked upon bins full of magazines—pretty much ALL of them—videos (VHS of course), catalogs, posters, stickers. (There's a Public Storage space full of actual boards too, but that's another post.) It's a mountain of stuff and lately I've been going through some of it, sorting, scanning, and assembling it into what will eventually be a website. And this project is both enjoyable and tedious.
Now imagine that Chris Sanders (Avalanche Snowboards founder, friend and employer) tells me he's got a bunch of bins too, and would I like to, you know, sift through it all with him and sort it and oh my god, are you fricken kidding me!? Bust those bins out and I'll go get some beer and HELL YEAH look at all this ridiculous neon and giant laid-out backflips! Oh man, did snowboarding really look like that? Yep, it did.
