This One's For My Vegans...
Posted by: Alex | Tuesday, July 22, 2008Where my vegans at?! This one's for you.
So you wanna know which of our shoes are vegan? Lots of you have asked, and while I do enjoy spending my time sending the same email over and over... and over... it's YOUR time that I don't wanna waste. As such, we've added a new little vegan symbol to the site. Now you can browse all our footwear and rest assured that anytime you see that symbol underthe product description, it's totally animal-free and friendly.

Of course, it'll be smaller than that... more like this.
Here's a big fat list of our vegan shoes for Fall, but for future seasons and while perusing our fine wares, don't forget that the materials, and thus vegan-ness, vary between colorways of the same shoe so be sure to click each color. Thanks for caring about the beef!

Camp Of Champs, Day 4
Posted by: Alex | Tuesday, July 15, 2008Day 4... (cont'd from Day 3)
So the week was filled with a mix of inconsistent weather (hot, cold, cloudy, windy and some sun ) but for the most part the 32/Stepchild team had a blast and, more importantly, the lucky campers got to hang with legendary JP Walker, Simon Chamberlain and Joe Sexton. The last day was probably the nicest day since I've been up here. The sun was out the entire day and a light breeze would come and go through out the day. After the glacier the campers gathered in rebagliatti park for a nice festive BBQ to end the session. Lot's of food, fun and product from sponsors were handed out for the campers. Peep it...

- Joe Sexton supervising the scene on the hill and making sure all the kids shred with style.

- Marie France-Roy dropped in and was hitting the main booter stomping FS 900's. Yeah MFR!!!

- Camper getting rad on the main booter.

- Some serious shredding went down the last day.

- This is what happens after spending so much time on the glacier, yeah it really takes it out on you. Even this Bear needed a little siesta.

- Ken Achenbauch grilling up the dogs and burgers for all the campers.

- Simon and happy camper.

- So this session was one of the biggest sessions all summer. A little over 300 campers. Ken calling order for the raffle and giveaway's.

- JP Walker, Japanese dude, Simon and his twin brother Andre.

- Joe sharing his ice cream with Dill.

- NOT sharing or maybe he is sharing his ice cream with Joe? Doooooogh!

- The Chi guy made a guest appearance at the BBQ to give out some Stepchild boards with the team.

- High fives for the winner of a nice Stepchild board. Stoked!

- JP is one of the biggest hecklers, especially with his team mates. JP and Joe trying to give this 32 beanie or shall I say, Took out to a lucky camper.

- Stoked Campers getting some 32 love.

- Joe was definitely the star, everyone wanted to get a picture with him.

- JP signing for the kids.

- Once again Joe signing some shwag for the kids.

- JP wanted to share a bucket of Ice cream with Simon, or maybe he wanted to smother him with Ice cream.
That's it for the Stepchild week at Camp of Champs.
Thanks to all the riders for supporting the camp and hanging with the kids. A big shout out going out to Ken Achenbauch, Fabia Gruebler, Tenaya, Sean Johnson, JP Walker, Simon Chamberlain and Joe Sexton for making this event truly the best!
Till next time....

Camp Of Champs, Day 3
Posted by: Alex | Monday, July 14, 2008Day 3... (cont'd from Day 2)
Whistler is one of those places where you'll never know what the day will bring. There was a slight breeze this morning but none of us realized how cold and windy it would get on the glacier. Although the clouds and wind picked up, everyone stuck it out and kept shredding. Check out some of the action...

- I swear this Bear kept sneaking around the mountain lurking... trying to poach the camp?

- The campers session this picnic table with Simon and JP.

- Simon showing the kids how its done with style...

- JP feeling it and sending it...

- JP walker has some serious steez (Switch nose press)

- Here's a camper learning pretty quick how to lay it down like JP and Simon.

- Simon makes it look so easy.

- Mean while after a good day of shredding the "Knock-out B-balling" kept the kids coming back for more but this time Simon and JP handed out some 32 shwag for the kids.

- Here's the lucky camper who won this round but the catch is, they had to wear whatever they won and play another round.

- Simon and another lucky camper.

- That's right, you're going to have to play another round with the socks rolled up on your arms... Stoked!

- This camper won one of the rounds and got the main prize, 32 Hat, 32 socks and stickers.

- This camper won a pair of JP Goggles, 32 hat and some socks. Nice get up kid...

- Once again the kids were stoked to hang out with the 32/Stepchild crew (Simon, Joe, JP and happy campers).
There's so much to do at Camp of Champs and with the 32/Stepchild team being up there this week you're guaranteed to have a blast on and off the snow.
Stay tuned for the last day of the Stepchild week.

Camp Of Champs, Day 2
Posted by: Alex | Friday, July 11, 2008Day 2... (cont'd from Day 1)
So the weather was a bit better than yesterday but you never know what you'll get once you get to the glacier. Joe Sexton actually made it up on the hill to judge a Gromfest rail contest while JP and Simon cruised the park with campers. Check it out...

- Joe and Simon bright and early... looking chipper.

- Makes you think it's going to be an amazing day up on the hill with the warm weather and somewhat clear skies?

- Here's another view of the camp set up. Impressive right?

- The camp has one of the only Air bag's for campers and others to huck themselves and go as big as you want. Look at this camper giviner..

- You can pretty much land on top of your head and it wouldn't even phase you?

- The boys taking a little break just before the lunch madness.

- Joe was pretty much pampered and piggy backed to a couple areas not to mention snowmobiled up to the zone.

- Here's a shot of a camper giving it all he got to win the Gromfest rail jam.

- Even the girls got into it and threw down.

- I think this bear has been following me?

- This camper just won JP's board! So stoked!

- As JP would say....
Uuuuuuuuugh.... Son....

- Joe Sexton giving out some 32 love.

- And some more autograph signing for Mr. Sexton.

- Once again, stoked campers with none other than JP, Joe and Simon.
Thursday will be another day up at the Glacier so stay tuned....

Camp Of Champs, Day 1
Posted by: Alex | Thursday, July 10, 2008etnies Snow TM Eddie reports from the front lines of Camp of Champs...
Day 1 (Well at least for me but the 3rd on-snow day for the Stepchild week) started out a little grey but, despite the clouds, JP Walker, Simon Chamberlain, Joe Sexton and 300 amped kids managed to have fun with or without the sun. Here are some great pics from Camp of Champs...

- Heading up the hill didn't look so promising but you never know at Blackholme

- Bears were out and about searching for their next meal

- I thought the clouds would clear but I was wrong

- JP and the campers getting ready to hit some jibs

- And let the feast begin...

- JP, Simon and Sean Johnson trying to figure out what to do next

- Well, it was called for an early day but that didn't mean the day was over?

- JP and Joe Sexton comparing sticks

- This is Dill, he's a pug mix and about 6 months old. He was the guard dog at Joe Sexton's Tie-Dye party.

- JP Walker showing off his steez... JP it's for the kids...

- Simon Chamberlain got some skills on the court or is that a half court?

- Tenaya setting up the dye for the Tie-dye party with Joe Sexton.

- Joe Sexton supervising on the colors... Looking good.

- And the campers diving in on the dying fun!

- All the campers were amped to see how their creation was going to turn out.

- Ok, I just had to get this shot in because Dill is such a cool pup, plus i was going through some with drawls from my dogs.

- Sexton making sure all the campers dipped into all the colors.

- This one was for JP Walker, JP? where are you? come and get it....

- The campers were excited and thrilled... I mean they are truly feeling that shirt don't you think?

- Another proud and excited camper with Joe Sexton giving his thumbs up approval.

- No seriously, this is how you really do it... Joe Sexton showing the kids how it's really done.

- What does it say? "I WENT TO CAMP OF CHAMPS AND ALL IT GOT WAS THIS CRAPPY STEP CHILD SHIRT"

- jpg- Meanwhile on the other end of the court... A mean game of "Knock-out B-ballin".

- The mad collection of Tie-dye shirts.

- Joe Sexton really knows how to stoke out the kids, he started signing away some of these shirts and all the kids loved it, what a trooper!

- Joe hooking up some more campers and brightening up their experience at Camp of Champs.

- Even the girls wanted his personal touch.

- Can you say "STOKED"! Joe Sexton doing what he can even if he can't get on his shred stick yet.

- Joe Sexton really was the star of this night... Joe with some happy campers.

- The collection just kept getting bigger.

- Yeah! once again Thanks to Joe Sexton for making the trip out to Canada to be with some well deserving campers!
The camp set up was amazing. They had a wide variety of jumps, rails and jibs... definitely one of the best summer camps I've seen.
Stay tuned for Day 2 of Camp of Champs and let's hope the sun will shine...

etnies In Pamplona, Part 2
Posted by: Alex | Wednesday, July 9, 2008Here's another shot of our participation in this year's Running Of The Bulls. I think it really says something that from either angle, and even in all the bull thumping, stampeding chaos, this dude's etnies stand out like a white shining beacon of hope. I'm pretty sure that's what it's all about, right?

etnies In Pamplona
Posted by: Alex | Tuesday, July 8, 2008We're all for taking the bull by the horns, especially in your etnies... but we're giving this guy a little extra credit for this one.
