Red Bull Rider’s Cup Episode 7: Rachel

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

I know that we probably don’t cover enough women events or stories here on Lat and I know that there’s probably a lack of female coverage in the media in general.  Or I should say that there’s not enough coverage on respectable women in the media.  You’re probably saying to yourself ...

Powder & Rails “Snowboarders In Exile” Cont’d

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Do you need to refresh your fix on neon and tubular haircuts?  I did, that’s why for the past week I spiked my hair up like Buster Poindexter and wore my M.C. Hammer Pants, while listening to well, Buster Poindexter.  Well finally, here’s the continued episode of Powder & Rail’s ...

Epicly Later’d Gino Iannucci: Episode 4

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Here in this 4th installment of Epicly Later’d on VBS.tv, we see an almost chronological story of Gino’s life told through the use of Gino’s deck graphics at the time. I especially like the Nautica graphic he used. As it has been for the previous episodes, this ...

VBS’s School Of Surf: Red Bull Rider’s Cup

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

The VBS people just came out with another pretty extreme series called “School Of Surf”. At first I thought it was going to be something like that movie “Surf School” starring one of my favorite singers/actors Sisqo (Thong Song). But to my dismay it’s actually ...

Epicly Later’d – Gino Iannucci Episode 2

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Epicly Later’d and Gino take us to the glory days of skateboarding when tricks were sketchy and the pants rocked, more so than the nut huggers of today. But his “sponsor me” video tapes of the early 90’s proved to be valuable not only in getting him sponsored, but ...

Powder & Rails: All Quiet On The Western Front

Friday, September 5th, 2008

Without Galileo there would be no Newton.  Without Snow, there would be no Eminem.  Well without FLF’s “Western Front”, you wouldn’t be seeing any of the snowboard videos you are seeing today.  Instead you would be seeing the likes of Shaun White doing ski tricks but on a snowboard.  Or ...

Hi-Shredability: Alex Knost Episode 2

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

A week ago when I posted Alex’s first episode of VBS's Hi-Shredability and questioned why someone like him does not enter in surfing contests that often.  He pretty much answers that question in this episode.  At first after seeing the first episode, my impression of him was that he’s a ...

VBS’s Epickly Later’d: Gino Iannucci

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

VBS.tv took a long break in between seasons to produce one of their best shows Epickly Later’d. Tonight, Patrick O’Dell and VBS has come back after their long break with the first episode of Gino Iannucci’s 10 part series. It looks like they were working hard during that ...

Episode One Of VBS’s Powder & Rails

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

We’ve been waiting quite a while now for VBS’s new extreme sport series. If you’ve heard my comments before, you know I was hoping it would be a Rollerblade show but instead, we’re graced with Powder & Rails: a series based around the growth and development of snowboarding, ...

Powder And Rails On VBS.tv

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

With first a skateboarding show called Epicly Later’d and more recently a skateboarding show called Hi-Shredability, it’s almost inevitable that VBS.tv come out with a rollerblading show.  I would call that show, “Roller Boyz”, stressing the Z making it “Roller BoyZzz”.  The show would be an on going round circle discussion ...
