Skater Rob Dyrdek sure has a lot going on. With his new show Fantasy Factory, a line of toys called Wild Grinders, a feature film called Street Dreams and now he has teamed up with Carl's Jr. to bring you collectors cups! Because fast food and skaters go oh so well together.
The press release had this to say, "In stores now and while supplies last, fast food and skateboarding fans can visit their local Carl’s Jr. and pick up a 42 oz. limited edition Rob Dyrdek collector’s cup when purchasing a large drink or a combo. The cups feature three designs by Rob – one introducing his exclusive toy line, Wild Grinders; Rob’s feature film Street Dreams; and his signature DC shoes. All three cups feature Rob’s version of the Carl’s Jr. iconic Happy Star, now with 50% more muscles!"
Interesting, and awesome. I'm sure Big Black is happy to have unlimited access to fast food!!
New York ski areas are banding together to fight a proposed tax on lift tickets and lessons that Governor David Patterson has put forward to help balance the state's $15 billion dollar state deficit. Ski areas are not required to collect sales tax on life tickets or lessons and the ski areas want to fight this!
Within New York's 47 ski resorts, collecting the ski tax would not only impact the recreational skiers but also the after-school programs that participate in skiing or snowboarding. The extra sales tax could make it unaffordable for some children.
Skiing in New York represents a $1.1 billion industry during the prime four winter months. The ski industry, statewide, employs more than 18,000 people and attracts more then 4 million people!
Stop the sales tax! Keep snowboarding and skiing affordable!

Burton and Gore-Tex have combined forces to create the U.S. snowboarding team's uniform for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
Jake Burton had this to say, "I’ve never been a fan of uniforms, but if anyone is going to outfit the U.S. Olympic Snowboarding Team, we’re the company that should step up and do it right,” said Jake Burton, Founder and Chairman of Burton Snowboards. “As with everything we design and manufacture, we have already brought together our creative people with some of our country’s best snowboarders to ensure that the final product will represent the riders, the sport and the U.S.A. in an authentic way. Our partnership with GORE-TEX enables the riders to rest assured that regardless of the weather in Vancouver, they will be warm, dry and free to do their best.”

ATTN: Freestyle Riders...
Featuring a park-specific flex and cushioning system and available in wine-country purple, these kicks will drive you to be the best you can be. The results? Great snow feel and nimble on rails and butters; power balanced with precision.
Cue the 2010 Burton Grail Boot.
This boot replaces the Sabbath boot in the 2010 Burton boot line-up. Burton is saying that this is The boot for all-mountain, freestyle riding.
Burton says it has "a slimmer profile eliminates toe drag and weight, while the fully flared liner lets you press and butter in ways that would make doves cry. Worried about that “Holy Shit” landing ending your existence? Your sole is saved with the most advanced cushioning system ever developed that addresses the medial/lateral support, response, and canted cushioning benefits that park riding demands.”
Can't wait to see all of the other 2010 product!
