etnies

Remember the Crazy Photo Contest Last Month?

The fact that someone has access to crash test dummies and then put etnies on them is fascinating to me.

How random...not cows or horses mating...but friggin llamas? Brilliant!

Three of these photos are gonna earn some people free etnies!...We have narrowed it down from hundreds of entries and these are the cream of the crop. I might just be nice and throw in some honorable mentions once the winners are annouced, but for now, see for yourself what we have to work with here. If you think you could have done better than this, then it is your own damn fault for not entering. Remember folks, the entires had to have a visable, legible pair of etnies in them. We had some funny entries that didn't meet that requirement and, as a result, were purged. Pay attention next time fools!

Just flat-out ridiculous.

Pet cooperation is impressive.

Is this people reaching for etnies shoes that are being tossed to them or an etnies shoe invasion from outer space?

This is so janky that it rules. Look at the rail steez that dog has!

How unaffected does that Ghandi guy look? Simply amazing!

A wonderful play on a classic comic strip.

I am still baffled as to who walks down the street with a jock strap on? Is this frequent behavior?

AAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH! God bless potty humor.

This is the "artistic" entry. Let's look at it and think deep thoughts.

This photo will never NOT be funny!

Snow Team Report

Scenery!

It just keeps snowing and snowing and snowing....

Gathering!

The ThirtyTwo team photo shoot turned out to be a huge success! Despite a couple broken collar bones and semi-decent weather conditions, the team had a blast hanging out and shredding at June Mountain. We even celebrated Freddy Austbo's 17th Birthday on 4/20/05! Here's a quick update on what the ThirtyTwo/etnies team riders have been up to lately...

The season is winding down and most of the riders are scrambling to get in their last minute powder shots while others are planning a break from the snow.

ThirtyTwo boots are swell!

John Jackson is wrapping things up with his season. He recently spent a couple of weeks helliing with the Standard film crew in Canada. They pretty much wrapped up the season of powder so now it's all about park kickers and booters. John's chillin in his home town of June Lake for the next couple of weeks. He'll be shredding Mammoth until they close, if they plan on closing...

Markku Koski is pretty much done with his filming part with Standard films. He's "going-going back-back to Finland-Finland" to get surgery on his shoulder. He'll be rehabbing as soon as possible and most likely staying in Finland for the summer. Good luck Markku!

Tyler Lepore needed to get some inspiration to get back into art mode so he's heading to Barcelona to start designing his board graphics. He's planning on hanging out for a few weeks to take a break from snowboarding to catch up on some R&R while he's out there. We'll catch up with you in a few weeks Ty!

Extreme!

Benji Ritchie recently finished up his part with Whiteout films. He'll be chilling in Whistler for the remainder of the season and then editing his part which should be due out sometime during ASR San Diego.

Wille Yli-Luoma is taking a little break from snowboarding right now. He's getting settled into his new apartment in Portland. He drove down to Southern California last week to indulge into another passion of his, music. He dropped in on all the best equipment you can get to be "the DJ that saved your life." He's been spending some quality time spinning on the wheels of steel. Look out Portland DJ Free Wille maybe touring in your neck of the woods. He's also heading to Sweden to hang out with his daughter Lilou for a few weeks.

‘Til next time keep the dream alive....

Mahalo, Danke, Tak, Merci, Keetos, Gracias, Arrigato misto-robato!

Birthday fun!

Cake!

This Girl Wears etnies!

Longboarding never looked so good!

This girl isn't an etnies model. Perhaps she just likes the shoes. Perhaps the photographer liked the way the pink and black colorway went with her outfit. Unfortunately, if I showed you the rest of the photos I'd lose my job. But they were emailed to me, so that means they must be on the web somewhere!

Extreme Skipping!
