Jordan Spohr and Whiteroom Films teamed up to make the absolute best trick tip that has ever been made. And unlike the doublecork 1550 tip that Freeskier will publish this month, you have a chance to actually learn this one.

If I could have gotten my hands on that little Punxsutawney bastard, I would have asked him where winter’s been for the past six weeks. But I hear the Rockies are getting snow tonight…the rich get richer. What the hell are you gonna do?

Spread the wealth old man winter.

Bonus points for a legit topsheet.

To get to the point, Bluehouse Antics are pretty damn great jump skis. For the sake of a fair review, Dan handled the riding on the Antics as he has been known to use jumps as something more than a convenient wind-blocker to duck behind and light a cigarette.

We believe in full disclosure, so here’s a review of our reviewer: Dan is of the belief that 99% of what you need to know about a ski can be learned from doing a few front flips. You get a damn good idea if they’ll wash out under you, and you damn sure test out the flex on the tips and tails. They passed this test with flying colors. The Antics proved to have the right pop off the lip and they were stable on a severely front seat landing, which is a damn good thing when your face is your next line of defense.

Surprisingly, for a directional ski with a width that suggests pipe use, the Antics also proved to be pretty damn springy. A stray ski school foam obstacle found its way into the park, and Dan ollied it with no problem. They definitely aren’t from the “pure” school of uber-stiff jumping skis; they keep a little flex stashed away in the trunk.

A little spring in their step.

As for rails, I’m not really sure what you people look for beyond durability. They’ve had about 15 days of sliding on steel and plastic and they’re still all in one piece. The edges are still made of metal and they have yet to divorce themselves from the rest of the ski. Check and check.

If you like to turn your skis every now and again, they’re damn good there too. At 111-82-106 (at 175cm) they’re a bit more traditional than symmetrical park boards, and that is certainly noticeable when playing gaper-gates. Eighty-two isn’t ultra-narrow, but by today’s standards it’s probably on the lower end of what you’re shopping for. That can make sliding rails feel weird if you’re used to more underfoot, but unless you’re 12, you probably have a preference for particular dimensions, and if these are in your neighborhood then you’re gonna dig ‘em.

Edges locked in valiant fight to the death

That’s all nice, but what finishes the job as far as the BroBomb Seal of Approval is their price. Bluehouse only sells factory-direct (if you visit their site, you’re gonna be seeing their damn ads on every webpage you go to), and they keep their prices very reasonable. As someone who was once too broke to afford brand new skis, I appreciate that. You can land Antics for $329, or slightly less with one of their ubiquitous promo codes.

So to wrap this up, the Antics are a good quality jumping ski that has enough flex to allow you to go have fun if you just binged on twelve hours of TrashParty and Traveling Circus websodes. And they can be had for just under $300… how very 99%.

It’s HERE!

Soooo, I’ll be practicing that in my living room all week. Oh, but is he holding poles? God, that question is even boring when posed sarcastically. Sorry.

Seems to be turning OK.

Oh, and Ryuta is the shit. Beginning of conversation.

If you’re anything like us, you own a halfway decent camera, but it spends 99% of its time in the car if you even remember to bring it to the hill. Therefore, most of your ski photos/videos are taken with an iPhone. Olloclip looks like it might help you take the quality up a notch in your lazy quest to become the next Josh Berman or Blake Jorgenson. This little guy comes with a fisheye, wide-angle, and macro lens.

None of the descriptions on CNET make any mention of the video quality, but it looks pretty decent in the promotional video (above).

Here’s to many, many more cellphone edits!

P.S. If you own Olloclip and you got here due to the Google alert you obviously have set up, then please send us a lens to review: jon@brobomb.com

Look at all that snow just sitting around back in 2010/11. Urban movies are gonna be very bare this season.

What we have here is a 2013 Moment release that may or may not be called the “Deathwish” (that was the filename anyhow).

Our sources tell us that it’s going to have “new” Moment technology/shape that they’re calling “Dirty Mustache Rocker.” Not sure what “dirty” refers to, but mustache rocker used to refer to camber underfoot with rockered out tip and tail.

As for dimensions, we’re looking at 112 underfoot and lengths of 164. 174, 184, and 190.

This photo shows a wooden wall. Behind that wall, and badly out of focus, is a little 2013 outerwear also from Moment. The pant is slim, though it looks rather roomy in the photo.
