TwitterAirblaster Ninja Suit
By Benson | October 16, 2009
Some of the most epic days of riding happen when you wake up, check the report and find out there is 24 inches of fresh on the mountain. There’s not a cloud in the sky or a hint of wind. You make your way to the hill, suit up, strap in and get that first chair.
As the chair takes you higher and higher, you start scoping your line, mapping out your descent. “Aaahh snap!” you think. “This run will be glorious!” You get to the top, strap in and head towards your secrect pow run.
You know what I’m talking about. It’s that one day you dream of. Face shots within the first 100 yards and you’ve got 2,500 vertical feet to go. Then it happens: You forgot your rocker board and your nose plunges under two feet of fresh pow. It’s right about here you think, “I wish my first layer bottoms were connected to my top, cause I’m about to get my breakdancin’ shoes on and spin this 1080 on my head and this powder skirt ain’t gonna cut it.”
Solution? Karate kick your old top and bottom base layer for a Ninja Suit. No matter what you do, it is nearly impossible for snow to find its way to your birthday suit, which, come to think of it, is also a one-piece… Anyways, if you’ve ever had an epic day cut short because snow creeped into your outerwear, check out the Ninja Suits by Airblaster. You won’t regret it.

Nixon Fluro Player Pink Watch
By Benson | October 15, 2009
The third release of Nixon’s Rubber Player Fluro watch dropped today and it’s hot … pink. As is evident from the name, October’s release brings a bright florescent pink color to the rubberized Player watch.
An added bonus to this month’s release is Nixon’s involvement with Boarding for Breast Cancer. October is internationally recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness month, so it was a no-brainer the October watch would don the vibrant pink colorway utilized to raise awareness of breast cancer. Portions of the proceeds will benefit the Boarding for Breast Cancer organization. BONUS!
Now YOU can raise awareness about breast cancer with the pink Fluro Rubber Player watch from Nixon.
Check the photo below to see what it’s all about!

Pat at Ride Snowboards Stopped By
By Benson | October 6, 2009
It’s clinic season here at Tactics and that means snowboard reps are poppin’ in to the shop and giving all the Tactics employees the 411 on what their company has been up to over the past year. Pat from Ride Snowboards stopped in last week to tell us all about the new tech and features in this year’s line. After the clinic wrapped, we grabbed Pat for a little one-on-one convo to highlight some of Ride’s new features. Check out the video below and all the Ride gear at Tactics. A big thank you goes out to Pat and everyone at Ride! Have a great snow season!
