Rome “Ask the Rider” with Bjorn Leines
Submitted by liv2ride
We’ve all read shred interviews before and thought, “I could come up with better questions than this crap.” Well, now’s your chance to prove it by throwing some interview questions at a Rome team rider and hear the answers almost immediately.
On Wednesday, June 17th, from 3 pm to 5 pm Eastern Time (see time zone list below), Rome SDS Pro Shred Bjorn Leines will be on Twitter to answer all of your questions in real time. You ask a question, he answers it.
Here’s how it will work:
- Log on to Twitter at the designated time
- Submit your question in the “What Are You Doing?” box
- End your question with a #Rometeam
- Bjorn will fire back his answers to your questions
In addition, Rome SDS will be picking a question at random that has the #Rometeam “hashtag” in it, and hooking that lucky rider up with a new pair of Bjorn’s choice of boots—the 2010 Rome Folsom boots with SkateCuff technology.
So call in sick if need be, skip school, log in from your iPhone, or do whatever you need to do and get on a computer at:
3-5 Eastern
2-4 Central
1-3 Mountain
12-2 Pacific
Stay tuned to Romesnowboards.com and Twitter.com/romesds for more updates on the happenings of the Rome SDS.

Trouble Andrew interview on KarmaloopTV
Submitted by FrontLipped
If you don’t know that professional snowboarder Trevor Andrew’s musical alter ego Trouble Andrew has been building a burgeoning career in the recording industry that was recently solidified by the re-mastering of his self-titled album…then you should probably get a clue (it’s harsh, but it’s true).
Creating music that’s impossibly hard not to tap your foot to, and that’s just as good of a soundtrack for a day on the hill, Trouble’s star is growing in a hurry.
Check out his interview on KarmaloopTV, and then check out another interview that was featured in the pages of Snowboard Canada Magazine.

Transworld talks summer with LNP
Submitted by FrontLipped
Ever since Laurent-Nicolas Paquin – LNP for short – burst out of Quebec, and on to the international shred scene a couple years ago, people have took notice and formed their own opinions.
Whether you’re a fan, or a hater, of LNP’s antics (and fashion sense), there’s no denying the fact that he’s got skills on a shred stick.
With summer knocking on doors across North America, the hippy/hesh/pirate/urban destroyer from Quebec opened up in an interview on Transworld about one of his biggest influences, skateboarding.

Transworld Business gets behind Option’s 2009/10 line
Submitted by FrontLipped
Patrick McCarthy’s pro model, the PMAC
Kevin Sansalone, Travis Williams, Joni Makinen, Pat McCarthy, Simon Chamberlain and Kendra Starr all have at least two things in common. They’ve all had a huge impact on snowboard and they’ve all had an Option board under their feet at one time or another.
Simply put, Option has been around for ages. I remember browsing the first issues of Snowboard Canada I ever purchased, and drooling over Sansalone’s pro models.
And, despite some economic woes, the 2009/10 line looks as good as ever. Transworld Business has a preview of the line including Patrick McCarthy’s pro model - the PMAC - and the women’s freestyle Echo.
