Words by Garrett Russell
Words are fun. You put them together and they make sentences. If you put a lot words together they will either make a run-on sentence or possibly yet, a paragraph. They can even change your life if worded properly.

See that jacket on Mr. Pollard? Doesn’t it look an awful lot like the Holden Banks jacket (below)? Now, remember that the Causwell deal suspiciously sadly fell through, and that Eric is exactly the type of dude that could bridge that “gap” between skiers and snowboarders. All signs are pointing to Eric Pollard being a Holden skier, aren’t they?
Alright nerds, listen up. You’re all pumped for ski season— ready to destroy weekends once again. That may be motivation enough to keep in good shape by going to lax camp or the track or whatever is you do when you’re not looking at your iPhone. For the rest, you’ve only started thinking about getting back in shape now that you heard resorts are opening. Well, not to fret. Here’s a few last-minute do’s and don’ts of pre-season training that should get you on the hill and slaying in no time.
We forgot to blame Simon Dumont for the Red Sox massive collapse. On September 16, when he threw the ceremonial first pitch, the Red Sox still had a three game lead in the division. They would go on to blow it in dramatic fashion and miss the playoffs. I think the cause is obvious.
You know how Newschoolers can get away without creating actual content because no one really cares about anything but reading the comments? Yeah, well I’m super jealous. So let’s try to get some of that going here. Did you go to any premieres, tour stops, festivals this weekend? Did you buy one of the early-release downloads and throw your own event in your living room? Well then share your opinion.
Press release- Philadelphia PA USA, August 22, 2011.
BroBomb, maker of snarky web shenanigans, welcomes Ben Pruess as the new CEO of Holden Outerwear. We have always been big fans of Holden and have widely bitched and moaned about how ski companies don’t offer anything that actually fits. In addition, we’d like to thank you for filling up our inboxes with three different press release mass emails about this same person. He seems like a real mench.
At Holden, even the CEO gazes thoughtfully into the distance.
The next two months are pretty slow for skiing. If you’re not lucky enough to be headed to summer camp, you’ll have to find something else to do until movies start leaking out in late-August. We here at BroBomb have some plans to keep you alive through the summer.
-Dunfee, an SGT employee and therefore a professional summer adviser, will be reprising his role as hot-months-advice-columnist with a series on what to do with all that non-skiing free time.
-We’ll keep dropping edits from all of our loyal contributors. You can especially look out for official Hot Possie Dragon Fest ’93 coverage.
-I will be attending a Bright Eyes show next weekend. I intend to fully pretend that it’s 2002 while I scream for songs from Lifted. I may or may not write about it; or maybe I’ll make a video of myself painting to Lover I Don’t Have to Love…do you think Ant B. misses being the only arty kid in the room?

Rain is soaking the east coast, and many mountains have gone to a “weekends only” policy, at best. Then there’s Utah, from where Barberdude is texting me about 21 inches of snow and more on the way. Long story short, this is a big country (and an even bigger world) and some folks’ seasons are waaaaay shorter/longer than others.
So in the interest of gauging the depression/elation of our readership, here’s a poll question: Continue reading this entry »
From Tanner’s puffy coats and dreadlocks of yesteryear, to the absurdist impersonation of Redman and Method Man by Phil and Henrik, skiing has long pillaged elements of African American culture. In fact, freeskiing would not be where it is today, with corporate sponsorships and ever-growing youth appeal, if hip hop culture hadn’t been around to lend an element of edginess that had been so completely lacking from skiing forever decades. You don’t go from v-neck sweaters and twister/spreads to the youth-culture posterchild of Target, Red Bull, Mountain Dew, Verizon, and anybody else with a product to sell without borrowing some cool from black kids.
Have we reached the end of the independent super edit? As the wild west of edit releases took over on the internet in the past five years or so, there has always been a few super edits that inspire awe, influence style, and get a shit-ton of views. I’m thinking of Wallisch’s Superunknown a few years back, or the BAD edit from last year. All in all, this year seems a bit quieter.
Is it because edits have been commodified and organized into webisodes (Nipwitz, B&E, Traveling Circus, the Wallisch one I’ve never watched)? Or can we blame those who seek to organize the format like internet television (looking at you Inspired)? Continue reading this entry »
