We just got back from the SIA trade show in Denver. It was no Las Vegas that’s for sure but Sandbox definitely had a good showing with some good hype. We partnered with Push.ca and put the new teaser DVD on the front cover of King Snow Magazine. Try to get your hands on one of these babies and check out the new King Snow mag with the limited edition teaser DVD.

At this time every year SBC puts out there annual issue of SBC Business for the SIA trade show. In this issue there are all kinds of product reviews and awards. This year Sandbox Brain Bucket Helmets were rated the #3 helmet in Canada and Shine On won Best Canadian Video of the Year!

Pamela Anderson was hanging around the Sandbox booth all weekend so we gave her a free helmet and had a little photo shoot. (i’m trying to get a better pamela picture from my buddy sean tedor, keep you posted on that one.)

Hurley Gap

I have always wanted to film the famous Hurley Gap in Pemberton. Last year we set out to hit it twice but we were beaten by the Stepchild crew twice in a row. On the second time (which happened to be at 5:30 in the morning) when I asked the rhetorical question, “when are we gonna get to hit this thing”. I was answered by JP Walker, “2010 son… uhhhh”. Yesterday on December 23rd… 2009, with the help of Rusty Ockenden, we proved JP wrong! No, I don’t think JP actually cares and yes, it was really early for Rusty to be hitting such a big jump.

Snow in September?

Last night it snowed up Whistler and Blackcomb. I doubt it will stick around but it’s real nice to see.

Banff premiere dates confirmed

The dates for the Banff premiere have been confirmed for Friday, November 6th at Aurora nightclub. The Banff premier always ends up being the craziest one. You are guarantied to either end up in jail, the hospital or if you’re lucky just a vicious moral hang over. Hardingham told me that this years theme will be “show your boobs and get my respect”… do you really wanna miss out on this?

peep the merch…

The helmets have arrived! So get your orders in at the new store. We went down to Vancouver today to deliver them to Wick Winder Distribution and bring the rest up to the Whistler shops. I’m pretty sure you need a special license to drive the truck we rented… neither of us have that license but oh well. I’ll be driving back to Vancouver tomorrow so you may want to stay off the Sea To Sky Highway. Hope you guys like the new site, its really compatible with the iPhone, all the videos play perfectly on the phone so go check it out. We will be updating the site frequently with videos, news and premiere dates so stay tuned. Our next premieres are; Truckee, California at the Fifty-Fifty Brewery on Oct 1st and Portland, Oregon at Epic Snowboards at their indoor skate park and shop on Oct 2nd.

 

Here are some photos from today;

Heli Update

Day 2 of our spring heli shoot went a lot better than our first attempt. A much better jump, perfect weather and an amazing helicopter pilot made for some great shots on our final day of shooting. We had the doors off the heli with Clayton hanging out filming once again. We also got to use the infamous Cineflex camera mounted on the bottom of the heli with the same camera operator they used in That’s It That’s All. Mixing helicopters and cool cameras with snowboard filming is pretty damn fun.

Special thanks to everyone who helped make this day such a huge success.


Check out the 30 second heli teaser video and enjoy these photos from John Scarth and Brian Hockenstein.
