us vs. them

the day before, we had no idea echo mountain was going to be hosting a rail contest. i didn't even think people cared about watching people inappropriately using handrails to slide every which way but loose. the shit people will do strapped to a piece of wood for some cash pretty much compares to a circus of people doing stupid shit until it actually looks cool. Everything else is a direct result to provide content for you tube and America's funniest home videos.  As my father would say "That stunt and 75 cents will get you a cup of coffee".  Whether your getting hit in the crotch with a baseball or hucking yourself down a rail, you most likely didn't come out of it $500 wealthier....Darien totally did, and her style and grace earned her the first place position on the podium. Congratulations lady, the next time you hit a rail and eat some shit, remember you've been paid for it.

Nightmare has a new addition to the team, we're not supposed to tell you who it is.

While Lisa-Lurks-a-Lot barges her face into the shot, teamrider Ryan McCoy handles an early season millerflip in the mall foodcourt.  Change the photoshop mode to grayscale and call it artistic. Nightmare Don't Care.

tuning_fork

this season we should all strive to spend more time on our own two feet getting to the top of some sick terrain. summit county is full of world class lines, if you know where to hike.
early season snows got us out on the mountain to scope some lines and check backcountry conditions. we still need some more snowpack but this winter is just starting to get underway. nightmare splitboards clocked some vertical today but due to adverse conditions, the summit attempt was thwarted. like scared dogs we were forced to ride the rocky and hardpacked trail back to the car. better luck next time.

USA pro cycling challenge

 stage 5 of the USA PCC came through our mountain town this last weekend. we were lucky enough to have one of the nightmare riders competing the event with a NMcustom carbon race cycle. 
he managed to stop by the factory to replenish his cigs and beer before continuing on to breckenridge. with the last strength in his body he pushed through the field and made it onto the podium. right before passing out from dehydrated drunkenness. 

so heres to winter and the end of roadbiking season.

refreshing

 kevin jones (prorider) took some time away from snowboarding, in an interview he said some things that were super refreshing to us at the nightmare factory.

"No, I didn’t take time off snowboarding, I stopped being a tool bag for the idiots that control snowboarding “culture”. I just snowboarded without cameras for three years…. it was very refreshing." 

Baby we wont ever come down
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up, with us. 

help nightmare and summit county to recognize the toolbags and kooks, and keep snowboarding true. turn off the gopro and just ride, love it and kill it, video never tells the true story of our culture. 

meanwhile work continues at the factory, with lofty goals and dope art we have the rest of our summer planned out.
winter is on the way.

and up jumps the devil!

It's funny how satanic and occult imagery has krept its way into snowboarding. Almost an overnight campaign to "shock the squares". I guess were just as much to blame, meh...whatever. Anyways,  you can call it a youth urgency to rebel against their parents or you can call it marketing genius at work. I wonder if its got the kids thinking about the reality of the pointy looking heart-a-gram. I also wonder if the mall foodcourt is ready for this.

still snowing

out of control snow all season long has left us with a solid base halfway through spring. we find ourselves riding the same lines from early in the season as we drift into the backcountry, equipped with tunes, snacks and lots of high SPF sunscreen. not as deep in as we are used to but just as much fun. the whole crew has been able to test out nightmare decks and learn new tricks, working hard all season long. now its time to sit back, relax and enjoy some primal colorado alpha rays!

ad space.

This ad rules... definitely categorized in the "when they were cool" section. Burton used an excerpt from Madonnas uber controversial book "SEX" and replaced the sex words with all that is snowboarding. The first word suggests what many may think...snowboarding is better than pussy. 
"The ad outsmarted a culture consumed in one-upmanship with humor and unabashed confidence. By deconstructing the hype surrounding the undisputed Queen of Sleaze, it embraces a hand-made, raw composition that communicates an honest, quality vibe to the company's advantage."- AIGA

collin has arrived

1. make sure your bindings match your hoodie.
2. spot check, make sure shits gonna look reeeeeal tiiiiiiiight (footy or not)
3. keep your shoulders droopy so it looks like you "dont give a fuck" whether you made the shot or not.
4. don't ask to "peep the shot" right after you eat shit
5. don't ask to "peep the shot" right after you landed shit.
6. don't let bryan borrow your memory card....yesterdays "banger money shot" just turned into a card filled with last nights dubstep show documented extra blurry.
7. keep asking if the shots "legit" and if its cool to edit using his shit while hes working on a completely different project.
8. don't ask collin if he wants to smoke a bowl while he's grumpy....you can figure that one out yourself...

lost&found

its been a while since weve had a party at the warehouse. avoiding cops, avoiding serving underage mall rats, jumping off roofs, bailing on the mini ramp, falling from the rafters, wrangling summit counties finest, dancing like bryan loftus, knife fights, broken hearts, misplaced egos, avoiding bryans penis, barrel fires, and reliving prom have all been memories to cherish again and again. there's nothing like the morning after.. whether you're waking up next to a terrible decision or nervously trying to clean the vomit from inside a strangers refridgerator (you could've sworn that was the toilet at 5 a.m.) its all fun and games until you lose your shit. While we all go through the same motions and all deal with the aftermath, we still get to deal with the after-aftermath. Part of that is sitting through the next morning getting visits and calls about the shit people lost in their carefree nite of partying with us. Usually nothing ever turns up. Well, today is someones lucky day! We found one of the 7 missing i-phones from one of those raging nights! after losing a layer of ice in our parking lot, we're happy we found your missing property. Come by and claim it! i think this things got 4g! and a custom touch screen.

backcountry treasurehunting

 the jibberjamouter was sick, thanks to the crew for shoveling for a solid week, thanks to everybody for throwin down. curt and kody got us all riled up and i think nobody went to work or even got out of bed the next day.

meanwhile, back at nightmare HQ.
decks keep rollin out, different shapes, fresh graphics, getting the r.mccoy promodel all dialed in. 

trailers and snowmobiles are frustrating, cold temps shut down all operations. extra layers and no snow make for stress out here in summit.

but today everything good came back to snowboarding.
earn your turns, explore, good vibes with the crew and animals.

kody taking a minute at the cabin, 2 new decks out on snow today.

pretty classy accommodations for the middle of nowhere, sleeps as many as u can fit and comes pre-stocked with treasures!
left some of our own and headed back down the hill.

back to work

with opening day on everyone's mind keystone cranks out some overtime to get us up and down a run or two. 
meanwhile we spend our days waiting in line at the basin and braving the ribbon of death, mogulpark, and gaper heaven
getting some quality RandD done out back and snapping boards in the process, and 
partying like savages 

a little time spent grooming the backyard let us play for a couple days. the neighborhood came down to check it out, next time more snow and better features.
