On Thursday we bumped into Amplid Ambush riders Harry J and Andi Nitsche on the snow. They’d been enjoying a week sliding and camping at Kaunertal, Austria’s number one spring destination for riders desparate to get a few more rails and kicker hits before the summer takes hold. Andi was particularly pleased that he’d managed [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/27/81/472781.jpeg[/IMG]

That’s what Amplid Cartel shredder Justin Norman did when Snowboarder Magazine’s Superpark 16 came to Mt Bachelor.

A [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/19/14/471914.jpeg[/IMG]

Drop-off Amplid Cartel rider McRae Williams and the rest of the Rockstar Energy Drink Freeski team at Bear Mountain resort, California and guess what happens? Actually, there’s no need to guess because the guys from Rockstar put together a sick little edit of what went down. Looks like McRae and his Antidogmas stole the limelight!

Here in Oregon, we pretty much have it all; mountains, beaches, great food, and oh yea…giant heaps of year round snow!
