Spring Break Mt. Bachelor Expedition.
Spring Break Mt. Bachelor Expedition. from Kevin Castanheira on Vimeo.
Spring Break Snowboards were conceived as a vacation from conventional board design where the looser the shape of the deck and more uncommon the ingredients translates to more flavor being brought to the party. Corey Smith is the mad scientist behind Spring Break and each handmade creation is a study in abstract descent theory. Check out this documentation of the latest Spring Break test expedition from Mt. Bachelor, OR.

Snow on the Brain Blog Explanation
Scenario:
Getting on the lift after getting up a 4am and driving 4 hours to get to the mountain. You are tired, anxious and excited all in the same emotion. You get off the lift, strap in and ride down the snow covered mountain of glee. Maybe you fall, or maybe you rest for a moment. You take in the entire experience of the mountain. How quiet it is. How the cold mountain air feels in your lungs. How peaceful the trees and the environment makes you feel. This is why you do this. This is why you come to the snow again and again, year after year.
If your like me, no matter what time of the year, you can't stop thinking about being up in the mountains. Unfortunately those of us in the Bay Area only get about 6 months at the most of snow time to shred. This blog is for those that think about being in the snow all year long. Even in the summer months. That's what this blog is all about.
Snowboarding legend Tom Sims passes away
(Santa Barbara, CA) September 13, 2012 – Tom Sims, snowboarding legend and pioneer, died yesterday, September 12, 2012 near his home at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Sims suffered sudden cardiac arrest.
Sims is survived by his wife Hilary, sister Margie Sims Klinger of Santa Barbara, sons Tommy and Shane, daughter Sarah and step daughters Alexa and Kylie Wagner.
Sims built the first “skateboard for the snow” in 1963 and founded the SIMS® brand in 1976. He continued to revolutionize the sport of snowboarding for nearly four decades. Sims brought several industry firsts to the world of snowboarding including the first snowboard, first metal edge snowboard, first pro-model snowboard, first women’s specific snowboard and the first folding highback bindings. In addition to a lengthy list of podiums throughout his professional career, Sims was the primary snowboarding stunt double for "007" Roger Moore in the 1985 James Bond film A View to a Kill. Throughout the years, he continued to be a driving force within SIMS, leading the growth and progression of the brand.
The Sims family wishes for all memorial donations to be directed to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Online donations can be made in Sims honor here. The family will not be granting interviews at this time.
Tom’s accomplishments speak for themselves. A true pioneer, Tom brought forward thinking concepts and innovations that forever changed the landscape of the snow and skate industry.
R.I.P. Tom Sims
