This is a photo of the opposite of what a nosepress should look like. This is a weird 5050 where the rider is leaned over the nose of his board pretending to nosepress. No one noticed though, right? (note. Autumn Line has never filmed with this rider)

Stephen Blasko stops by via guyChat

Photobucket

Steve Blasko... there is a good chance you aren't familiar with Steve. Before our Autumn Line days, we were making local snow movies in Ohio under the guise Hardwire Productions. One of the crew then was a kid named Steve Blasko.

Blasko was and is a character. Perpetually in school, wearing girls jeans 24/7, always listening to obscure bands no one has ever heard of, and pushing the limits of his snowboarding in his own way. Blasko, Skizzo, Ballsko, Skizm, Blaskizm... or any other of his numerous nicknames, had always done things differently. From bomb drops, to sketchy drop-ins, to odd spots no one else would ride. Steve lived in the upstairs of a funeral home for years until he moved to a loft in hickville usa with 20ft ceilings and a mini ramp inside.. the dudes on his own page.

Blasko isn't trying to be a pro snowboarder, just likes riding crazy stuff and loving snowboarding, which is more then what I can say about of lot of people. He's the guy that in September will tell you "It might snow on friday night.. forecast is showing flurries", just cause he is so amped for the cold. Well Steve decided to grow up a bit this year and got a job on the west coast teaching kids smart people things... He checked in to give us an update.

Ed Herbold in the Internet Cafe...

Photobucket

Ed Herbold is a photograher on the rise outa Colorado. This past winter when Greg Hahn said I should fly into Denver and spend a few days at Red Mountain pass in Colorado, before we headed to Mammoth I was a little skeptical. Colorado is a fun place, but not overly productive from my experience. Well i was kind of right, the snow was trash, but Ed rolled in and made the trip soooo fun. The dude was a chef or something by trade so he always made sure you had good snacks, were having a good time, and were stoked to ride! Ed took us to this amazing zone of pillows called the "Ed Zone", the conditions weren't prime, but they got shredded and Ed even got up and handled business himself.

We're big fans of Ed over here so we invited him into the Autumn Line Internet Cafe to say whats up...
