visual diarreah

its getting colder in summit and we all know that that means, summer is over and it's almost time to slay. it has been an intensely busy couple months since you saw us last, the end of the season and the beginning of our nightmare!
we figured the best way to show everyone our work is to shit out all the great pics from the last post until now.




as a soft opening we threw a rail jam in the parking lot of the factory. truck after truck of snow and seasonal colorado weather kept us on the rail all night. thanks to all the competitors who signed up and the partygoers who helped us keep it alive. looking forward to more and more of these throughout the next season.


our factory! growing so much we might not be able to stay here for next season. 1100 square feet and industry standard tools! racing the snow this spring trying to get some RandD done.




danny and joe showing off our development! from tame to awesome, working with core shapes and new designs, not much time left in the season but still at it hard.


springtime in the rockies allows us some unique pleasures. joe rides his chopper to the basin with snowboards in tow. last couple days out there!

fresh grass and summer weather cant hide the character of this place. a visit back to historic gilman colorado where we spent time shredding all season. this time we found treasures and scoped new hits for the upcoming winter.

guess who moved into a new warehouse! nightmare comes up huge and expands into a factory three times the size of the old one. first task is getting the break room ready with a dope miniramp, putting green, and couchland. we cant keep people from riding, danny and joe killin it on the mini before its all even screwed together.



PJ nails the first couple kickflip transfers to the vert wall. jaw dropping.


new addition to the factory, monster puppy! tonka and joe posing lion king style.



fording streams in the tacoma, its not all about snow here in colorado. we have to find other activities to entertain us in the summer.


ramps done, walpaper's up, the nightmare lounge is fully operational. stop by and slay with us!


thanks to wagner rentals we scored a free bobcat for the weekend to get the presses over to the new spot. almost ready for production, starting to look like a real factory.

we have tons more work to do but nightmare will rise to the challenge! keep checkin in on the dirty dozen, we are gonna party and do work all season long. visit strangesnowboarding.com to see what the guys at nightmare are up to. think snow!

the factory opened its mouth and spit this out.

this footage is worthless

after a visit from chris rose we decided its time to take a few steps back and turn away from the digital age. for maximum photo performance in optical precision we've decided we'd rather wait two weeks for film to develop and gamble with our photo "accuracy". crossing our fingers in anticipation to whether or not we actually "got the shot". i found these two cameras in denver for 3 dollars, they are the ultimate. fuck photoshop, lets see what really happened...

Episode 4-Dead City

Been sitting here at home nursing the knee waiting for the time to come next week where I fly back Colorado for closing weekend at Copper. I found some stuff that hasn't been used yet and threw it together to a song of my buddies band from Chattanooga, TN. Don't worry, I didn't ruin the surprise of the rad stuff for the film.

"hey joey, you killed a lot of good men back east..... joey."

bryan loftus ditching work and getting paid to slay.

black&blue

broken collarbone, two separate breaks in her spine, broken nose, surgery on her right eye, and a medical bill that could put all the scrubs at the keystone foodcourt through college. lomo has been ripping all year and was just finishing up filming with us for the season. wanting to get some more shots from breck, she came back turbo-worked but not broken. shes made it through her surguries and we all wish her luck in a speedy recovery to put her back in the saddle at mt. hood this summer.

times are tight and unexpected medical bills dont make things any easier. while doctors are rad and did a great job helping fix lomo, they need to get paid too. i happened to be in the hospital room when the financial department gave lomo the great news on the tab she just acquired. im not sure if she wants everyone to know what the medical bills are, but i assure you it is no joke. the point is, lomo might need some help and we are in the middle of setting up a way to donate. any help at all is appreciated. until then, good luck lomo. you slayed all season.

when the crew gets heated, its time we cool off where it came from.

cool it lady. get soaked or get out.

"WEareALLweGOT" editing has...BEGUN!

The end of the winter season is approaching us and this means it's time to start the winter movie, "WEareALLweGOT" featuring local Summit County riders! Expect a teaser within the next few days and details bout the DVD release party/premier!

RED ALERT

after two solid days of building, shoveling, shaping, and pushing snow throughout the ghost town, big tuck steps away from his throne of broken sleds and gets down to business.

drop it like its hot.

in order to get up, you need to get over. the shelves that once organized and categorized rise again to serve a whole new purpose. lalo drops in and shakes all the cob-webs out.

deadcity.

the cars on fire and there's no driver at the wheel. and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides. a dark wind blows. the government is corrupt. there were all so many drugs with radio on and the curtains drawn. were trapped in the belly of this horrible machine. and the machine is bleeding to death. the sun has fallen down and the billboards are all leering and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles. it went like this. the buildings tumbled in on themselves. mothers clutching babies. picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair. the skyline was beautiful on fire, all twisted metal stretching upwards. everything washed in a thin orange haze. these are truely the last days. we fell into it. like a daydream. or a fever.-godspeedyoublackemperor

high in the hills we found what we were looking for. endless backcountry terrain and urban obstacles seated deep and steep. i think this is the closest we can get to nuclear gnar. especially after all the grim legends and haunted tales. the blackbirds circle in pockets above mounds of snow and buildings decay. pushing further and further from the resort our ghost town has brought new awareness to how we spend our day to slay. from the bear hibernating in the basement of the house weve been using as a wall ride to the government issued toxic land advisory, there is always another skeleton in its closet. get in, get scared, get building, get to shred, get out....dont get caught.

descedents.

we shredded Gilman the other day and listened to the descendents the whole way up. a girl from breckenridge made me a mixtape with "sour grapes" on it when i was in junior high. i think i figured if you were into snowboarding you had to be into the descendents. they ripped. she sent it to me when snowboarding could be punk rock and zumiez couldn't have a clue to claim it.

Episode 3- "How To Tear Knee Ligaments 101"

While I sat here icing my knee on this ever so comfortable couch with my season over, I was rolling through footage from Saturday. I then figure'd I would throw some clips together and try to give ya a few runs down copper since we've gettin some fresh. Kept this one short n to the point. Snow was deep, fresh, and fun...until I hit THAT rock. A tobaggon ride down the mountain, a visit to the hospital with no insurance, xrays,and a few calls to the parents, i find myself all braced up with torn ligaments in my right knee. Next stop is Canada for a few months, yay for free health care...hopefully. I still have to visit the orthopedist to get the final word from, but it's not looking good....surgery, therapy, the whole shibang.

Go ride, have fun, wear a shred ready helmet, and dont hit any rocks.
More riding n debauchery to come here in the next few weeks for Episode 4

copper&stars..... (thanks tom)

this is everything we've been working for. build it, rip it, repeat.

Episode 2- "The Fuzz"

So there has a been a plague of no snow in colorado recently, which has turned us into raging alcohalics, which is why there is more drinking than riding. But in the couple days we did get to film, Ryan, Joe, Justin, Greg, and the boys threw down in Catalyst at Copper n killed it.

SLASH is best known as the former lead guitarist of heavy metal rock band Guns N' Roses, with whom he performed and recorded between 1985 and 1996. Lalo making his first cut the deepest and bringing back some slash.

*meet Lalo. he speaks very broken english in short breaths between cigarrettes, smahing chips ahoy, and inhaling chicken tenders from 7-11. lalo rips, he needs you to get him a new board or some sort of deal on a new board because he clobbered his doing some sort of back noseblunt switch 270 out to revert backside lipslide on a down flat up down flat down down more flat up rail . until then he'll be riding with torn edges, springs, loose screws, smoke, and clutter falling from his board. his pants are broke too. there he is in the backcountry, stepping away from the park and into the unknown. that day, as everyone was eating lunch at the snowmobiles, Lalo pulled out a two day old burger king cheeseburger. he saved it tightly wrapped and smashed in the bottom of his bag to ensure maximum taste. as Lalo bit into his very cold and flavor soaked burger a feeling of accomplishment overwhelmed him. Finally Lalo made it to America and was eating american hamburgers and hitting backcountry booters.
