Olympic Fever: Girls Rock!

Torah Bright (Australia), Hannah Teter (USA) and Kelly Clark (USA) shined brightly at the 2010 Olympic Games. Love seeing our fellow board sisters pulling big airs. You go, girls!

Snowboard Design Contest

Venture Snowboards is allowing the public (that's you) to vote on designs for the "Venture/Protect Our Winters" art contest, with the design to be placed on a board. It's a good-cause mission, with the snowboard company partnering with Protect Our Winters (POW), in an effort to raise awareness on global warming. We can get definitely down with that. Voting goes to March 15.--Stef McDonald

Winter Olympics: Fever? We've Got It

I love that the opening ceremonies began with a snowboarder making a dramatic entrance (wow!) and I still have K.D. Lang's version of fellow Canadian Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" in my head (so beautiful). You can watch the clip (and others) if you have your cable info for access here and below is another video of Lang singing it--for instant gratification--because the song is so beautiful and she really nails it. But because Cohen is such a treasure, I am also posting a clip of him singing his song during last year's Coachella concert festival (it was hands-down one of the most amazing performances of the weekend and I felt lucky to be there to hear it).--Stef McDonald

Behind the Scenes: Making Snowboards

There's something thrilling about going behind the scenes to get a glimpse at how something is made. I clicked on this video in today's Cool Hunting email on how a snowboard is made by Burton, a leader in the field. Yep, cool.--Stef McDonald

Up, Up, Away: Kite Board Ride

Via Boing Boing, here's a terrifying/thrilling video of a kite boarder who is lifted up, up, and away by the kite.--Stef McDonald
