We've been on the grind- cooking some delights to drop shortly this coming Novmeber and December. In the meantime we met up with some fam and friends for a night out with Forum Snowboards, to celebrate the release of their "Forever" film this past Friday, October 2nd. held at the Red Bull Space in Soho. A few snaps from the night...we got caught up in some good talks, so not to many flix. Next time. Many thanks to Junior and the RB crew for making things always happen.
This may be prime time for summer, but that doesn't mean that you can't get yourselves motivated for the winter months. Set to release this winter 2010 by Factor Films comes their epic film "They Came From". It is the first snowboard movie ever to be shot in both Red, HD, and 3D. The movie will drop for free all over the globe this fall as free-dvd insert in different magazines as well as a free online-download.

Seattle, Washington-based artist Arbito, has teamed up with pro snowboard rider Danny Kass and Nike SB to release a viral video trailer and the anticipated Zoom Force 1 (DK-YS) pack. Known for his 1970's pop infused imagery, Arbito has lent his illustrative vision to produce the psychedelic design inspired and tribute to "Sgt. Peppers Lonley Hearts Club Band", on the DK-YS dual tongue boots to ensure ground clearance for snowboard pants when not riding. Included in the collection also is an all over print light weight hoodie and t-shirts available in both black and white adorned with the signature graphic design. Peep the trip below.
Red Bull will be creating an over the top 90-foot structure with the help of Frank Wells and Mike Bettera of Snow Park Technology. The nine story building drop will allow premier riders to style over a strategically constructed kicker toward an 80-foot long hip. The creative ramp design will allow spectators the opportunity to experience the action up close and personal. The winner will ultimately be rewarded with a $50,000 cash prize. Snowboarders including Shaun White, Travis Rice, Pat Moore and others to be announced shortly. Stay tuned as we will be reporting more information before and after the drop.
The folks over at Monsieur T will be presenting Wood Pushers, a skate/art exhibition opening December 4th, and will be held at the Hecklewood gallery in Portland, Oregon. The show will feature artwork from a variety of creatives, and will be sponsored by Nike SB and Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Sauce hit up the Oakley "REV TOUR" held this past Thursday at the Red Bull Space. Along with the open bar and good eats, those international jetsetting Playboy DJ's known as Nick Pepe & Josh, josh, josh kept things moving the entire night with their crate of delights. Big thanks to Wendy, Eve, and Yu-Ming from Freshness and Sneaker News for coming down and getting to know Sauce and supporting Oakley.

Hit up the Burton x Nylon party at the Flagship store on Wednesday night. It was a scene to say the least. Gift bags bring out the crazy in some people. It was mentioned (and as I heard in passing), there were a few people that stood outside starting at 4PM. The event was to begin at 7PM. By the time I got to the store, the line already started. Thankfully I was already toward the front waiting to meet up with with Martiza who Reps for Analog, Lucy Love , and Burton. Peep the latest Fall/Winter '08 Collection on the websites, as it will be arriving at the Sauce for the Holiday season.
After being ushered inside, it was already mayhem with patrons guzzling free drinks, appetizers, and of course looking for that free gift. Needless to say it wasn't that easy, and I was more intrigued with a man who looked oddly familiar. Turns out it was none other than Ang Lee himself, director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". As for the gift, it was distributed to the first 200 guests only. The kicker was that you had to receive a clear marble, which guests would then hand into the counter desk when ready to leave. The place was packed, music was bumping, the Burton winter collection is tight. This season's offerings consist of brightly colored apparel and an array of new artist snowboard graphics.
Sauce has to give a huge shout and thanks to that hard working women Ms. Maritza for her hospitality, and hooking up yours truly with the gift bag. The night was a success.
