Snowbird, Utah 2013. Filmed, edited, and put to smooth beats by the one and only DJRB. Hands down the best trip of the 2012-2013 season. Unbelievable memories, best crew, and 46” over four days.

I was invited to be a Glass Explorer and filmed this midnight bike ride through New York City. Kids, don't try this at home, I'm a seasoned urban cyclist.

Is money tight so you can't get your hands on a new splitboard? This guy out in Utah takes your old snowboard, saws it in half, and gives you back a splitboard.

LIT - the activity tracker for action sports

If you like the Nike Fuel Band, then LIT is the action sports oriented version for you. With the goal to become the activity monitor what GoPro did with action cameras, NZN Labs created this shock resistant and water resistant activity tracker inspired by action sports.

Not only does it monitor all your movements such as walking, running, swimming, and biking, but it can also track the height and air time of jumps, the G-forces you reach, fastest speed, all while integrating elements of competition with social sharing via iOS devices now and for Android devices in 2014.

They have three weeks left and are already a third of the way to their $100,000 goal on their Indiegogo campaign. Check it out here.
