Caught Up with Sean Genovese

Transworld got in touch with Sean and asked him a few questions about DWD and their take on the industry. Read the interview, watch the videos, and learn about why Sean does what he does.
You can also check out his Pro Files if you're one of those weird people that needs to know how much he weighs and how big his stance is.

Langi Lives On The Podium

Andrew Langi just will not get off the podium as of late. He took 1st in the Bowl Jam at the Johnny Romano Skate Jam For Make-A-Wish (formerly the Texas Skate Jam For Make-A-Wish).........












































......Then he followed it up with a 2nd place finish at the Active Am this weekend.


































He's already tall enough as it is, so all this time on the podium makes him look like a giant. He could probably stand next to the podium and still be taller than whoever gets 1st place. And yes, I realize that there is no podium in any of these shots, but the "tall" jokes still apply.

Mammoth

Headed up to Mammoth over the weekend for the "official" opening. Weather was a little warm though and it seemed more like closing weekend conditions. Still good times though. Friday night we sponsored a party at Lakanuki. It went something like this...

MFM and Episode were on the wheels of steel....














the hoes were on the prowl....














including this old broad who was burnin down the dancefloor with every dude in the place....



















like this guy....



















who apparently pissed off the wrong guy, because here's everyone watching him getting stomped out on the ground....














and here he is getting carried out,.....completely unconcious,....poor guy just wanted to dance....



















but Nam don't care....



















he just wants to make it rain...














Good times.

Pleasure Jam

The 2008 Pleasure Jam just wrapped up in Austria. It was held at Dachstein Glacier from 11/7 - 11/9.













Congrats to Silvia Mittermuller for taking 2nd place......














....and to Eero Ettala for taking best trick (this is switch by the way)











Silvia walked away with $500 (Europe needs to pay their women better) and Eero won himself a 3week surf trip to Balicamp (I don't surf, but I'm assuming that place is good).

Mammoth Parties

Mammoth Mtn openeing day WAS scheduled for Nov 13th, but apparently they decided to open today with 6" - 12" inches (yes, "inches", better get the big board out). So I guess these are just "parties" now and not "opener parties" (like it matters to you anyway). As far as I know, the dates are still the same, but we'll let you know if they change.

Q & A with Charles

Charles Reid is a man of few words, but his riding and recent contest results say enough. We gave him some ground-breaking, hard-hitting questions questions anyway, so you can get to know him a little better.

Elm Company (EC) : Hello Grandmaster Reid. Why don’t you give the folks at home a little background on yourself (name, age, city, sponsors).
Charles Reid (CR) : Charles, 18, Mont-Tremblant. I ride for Burton, Anon, Nomis, Axis and Elm.

EC : You been taking up permanent residence on the podium lately. Any secrets for all the little contest kids out there?
CR : Have fun.

EC : Do you like doing a lot of contests? Or do you just like all the extra money?
CR : I like to ride the best set ups. Money makes the banker happy.

EC : Would you go as far as to say that all of your recent success stems from your excitement about getting hooked up with Elm Company? (cuz I would)
CR : I hope to go further with Elm.

EC : Planning any trips to the states this season?
CR : Dew Tour, Honda Sessions, US Open. I was in San Francisco a couple weeks ago.

EC : Parks, Pipes, Backcountry, or Street missions? Or all of the above?
CR : All of the above.

EC : What do you like/dislike most about the snow industry right now?
CR : We are having a ball now. It's much more fun in the park than on Wall Street.

EC : Do you think snowboarding is becoming too corporate? Or do you think it’s heading in the right direction? (I know, that’s very similar to question #7)
CR : The corporate think they are doing good investing in our sport. I cannot disagree.

EC : What motivates your riding?
CR : Getting better, stomping new tricks and having fun with my friends.

EC : Why are you so quiet?
CR : That is the way I am…

EC : What do Canadians generally think about Americans these days? (don’t worry, we won’t get offended, everybody hates us these days)
CR : We will like you better with your new president.

EC : Do you guys think Americans have goofy accents or weird sayings (like “aboot” and “eh”)?
CR : I can’t help you on that.

EC : What about our cheese? Do you guys think our cheese is weird?
CR : What cheese?? It tastes like tofu and feels like rubber. You should come to Quebec to know what good cheese means.

EC : What else do you want to say? Because I’m obviously out of legitimate questions.
CR : Peace.
