HURLEY HURLEY HURLEY

So….Hurley dropped yesterday into four27. The web geeks have been telling us Hurley is the summer brand to watch this year and that is exactly what we did – watch them unload all the boxes, try everything on and then photograph it all…..

Last minute adjustments to the site and a couple more photos and then the whole line will be online. Catch Hurley SS10 on Four27.com – im not going to lie its nice! We just wish the weather would get a bit better so we could put on a pair of the Quatro’s…

Meanwhile David’s been pretty busy this week – looks like a load of people are heading out of the rain and to the slopes in the next couple of weeks! Let us know if you are…..

Soph just got back from Holland this morning from being with the Protest crew, she said they went to a pub to watch one of the Deutch riders compete in the Half Pipe last night (which might explain why she looks like S***)…..big up Dolf and his bright orange snowsuit last night! She says Protest AW10 is looking really strong so watch that space! Whight is looking like he’s just going to walk away with it….god bless Red Bull Project X!

…back from MORZINE to reality

Ive just got back from Morzine…im pretty lucky to get back since airports in Europe seem to be shutting left right and centre!
For the past 10 days we have been shreddin it up with some friends in Morzine! The first night was New Years day and after a long day of travelling, driving and eating amazing pizza from “the lodge” we stayed with some friends at the Nant. chalet. Those bugg*** have a sick little park in their back garden with a couple box’s,rails and mini half pipe…sweet!

The first couple days we just got our bearings on the mountain – the guys said the plalce was pretty green before we showed up…yep pretty much started snowing when we landed : )

Morzine is a lot of fun, the riding, the cliff drops, the parks and ofcourse….the nightlife! A friend of ours works in Rhodos so we headed there most nights for apres. But the main attraction was MAMA’s…..the fish and chips was insane!! A couple of the days were blue bird, a couple days were pretty bad visability…to the point where i couldnt see my hand! The parks were semi-built but Les Gets park was pretty up and running with a coupld rails to hit.

We had a lot of fun, 10 days went far too quick. My Nitro Fate is now destroyed from on-road riding back down from Les Gets Park & one of our boys broke his collar bone hitting the stash tree jump…sorry Ian!

In the end we had to leave..however Will booked our transfers too late and we arrived at Geneva 15 mninutes before take off…by this point we knew we had missed it. However we got greeted by a RED departure board. Turns out Geneva was shut for the morning…we hadnt missed our flight and we were able to grab some food and enjoy the delay in the knowledge we should be paying for another flight….

Thanks to the Nant crew, Mama’s, the lodge, our chalet of Fox’s and Will’s family for hectic snow lifts around Gatwick.

Happy New Year to all!

As the snow is falling in the alpes more and more people are coming to the workshop! David’s been a busy boi on that grinder! Our girl Soph is off to the mountains with her boyfriend, our favourtie Urbansnow couple. Anyway the lucky girl is off to Morzine to shred it out with some of her old friends who are seasoning it out there (none of which are working out there though…lazy rich ba******)

The weather is looking rainy down below but bluebird up at Avoriaz so fingers crossed.

Check some of their blogs out on…http://www.season.gemnetworks.com/

Anyway with Soph heading out we thought we would wish her a happy hols. and remind people that Urbansnow is your friendly

snow workshop!

PISTE IN THE PARK

admin — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 15:40:40 +0000

Our friends at Red Bull rang us last week to see if we wanted to get involved. 6 tonnes of snow in the middle of a street in Bristol….fistfull of dollar comp. and 20 riders hurling themselves off a 2M high kicker….we couldn’t really say no…in fact we ran around like little girls in delight. Sophie nearly cried…

So we are heading down Thursday to have some fun. Come watch the action and party with us and the Red Bull lot – it will be a blast!

Metro Ski & Snow

Thousands of people running around spending crazy money on last year’s apparel – Londoner’s really spend far too much on out of date stock. Interesting to see a couple of Supermarket brands there…..little worrying they are taking over the world!! We did however see some of our friends from Avalaan with there artistic stand, the Nikita girls on the beer at 1pm! Chuckbuddies boys enjoying some good food and even the Rude Chalets crew, www.rudechalets.com – check them out for a holiday this year – pimped out chalets and Burton test kit at your disposal! The hot dogs were pretty good and even the cheesy catwalk show had us laughing but it was a good day out.

This Saturday 31st – London Freeze at Battersea Power Station

We are heading up to check out the freeze this year. This year unfortunately there is no Cyprus Hill – but hopefully the level of riding will make up for it. If your going let us know…

UrbanSnow.com is finally up and running!! Wehaaaay!! After weeks of people knocking on the door asking if we are open, whether we sell snowboards, bindings and weirdly enough certain illegal substances……..we can finally open our doors and say we are ready to service! The riders are all pretty excited, not only has Whistler had reports of snow and are opening up their season pass in a couple weeks but seasonaires are counting down the days to get out to the Alps. So, if you do need a service or some friendly advice then drop by the store, talk to our staff or come by our warehouse. We will be constantly updating the “News” section so keep up to date with what we are up to.
