I’m pretty sure that a good percentage of you kiddies out there who are sitting in class right now are not listening to your teacher. About 25% of you are discreetly eating food that you bought during your snack period. Id say 50% of you are probably texting you’re your bros about some fake story regarding some fly honey you were with this past weekend when in actuality you were babysitting your grandma. And the rest of you are probably doodling some sick drawing you’ve been working on for about 30 minutes.

Well we’ve said it before to taggers and other artist around. Get your stuff out there. Ride Snowboards for the 7th year in a row is holding their annual Snowboard Art Contest. Contestants from all over the globe partake in Ride’s exciting contest for the chance to have their art displayed in a medium like none other. On top of that, artist will also be competing for cash and prizes.

Judged by the Ride Snowboards Creative Team, the top 50 entries are posted online, of which the top 30 are displayed at an art reception held on Ride’s turf: Seattle, WA. The finalists will compete for the grand prize of $1,000 and a custom snowboard featuring their winning artwork.

With much exposure to the mainstream world, extreme sports has been getting its share of airtime on television, the internet, and even major publications like the NY Times and Cracked Magazine. I’m sure you have been taking notice. This phenomenon will hopefully never end.

Ride Snowboards is embarking in the exciting world of commercial broadcasting to the likes of Fuel TV, Youtube, podcasts, and every other TV portal website out there. It’s a great time in media.

Ride Snowboards is having fun in the process and is producing shows like the one on their Slimewalls Webisobe. Hopefully that name will one day catch on and be part of our regular vocabulary but for the mean time, check out their 3-minute webisobe. Starring Darrell Mathes, Mikey LeBlanc, and Nico Droz.

“Here you can find the full length 3 minute version of our Ride webisode starring Slimewalls® as themselves, Mikey Leblanc as “Officer Leblanc”, Nico Droz as “shop kid” and Darrell Mathes as “Slimewall Junkie”. A shorter 30 second commercial will be broadcast on Fuel T.V. starting in October. Stay tuned for more from Ride studios and in the meantime, we hope you enjoy our webisode.”
