The elder brother of child phenom Luke, the bigger Mitrani has made a name for himself by blasting into the stratosphere with massive pipe hits and impressive competitive results. Aside from taking names in the pipe, Jack enjoys sunny afternoons lapping the mammoth park with all of his Frends.

You can argue that lately halfpipe contests have become too predictable, with straight air victory laps becoming the norm. The finals at the Pantech Invitational however, were quite the opposite. With the New England weather finally cooperating and the Killington superpipe looking perfect, the final turned into one of the best pipe events I have ever seen.

For our latest Video Guestbook we have Jack Mitrani. While Jack is behind the lens most of the time for Frends Vision, you can always count on him to be entertaining once he steps in front of it. Enjoy.

Mammoth Mountain started off the season on a good note. Pow turns and a full park welcomed riders from all over the country and once the lifts shut down each afternoon it wasn't long before the nightlife started up in full force.

What do you call a fraternity for huckers? Tri Landa Air. Get it? Well now you can add Frends to snowboarding’s Fraternity Row as they put Eric Jackson through “Hell Day.” Danny Davis really pulls off the pledge master bit in this one. Thank you Frends can we have another.

Between the TTR, FIS, Dew Tour and Winter X Games, there have been 27 major snowboard contests scheduled between December 2010 and March 2011 at venues all across the world. Each organization schedules its event series without taking into account the event schedule set by other organizations, which results in a contest calendar that is not only crowded, but where major competitions conflict with each other. Scheduling conflicts force riders to choose between events, which not only divides the competitive field, it devalues the viewing experience for fans who watch competitions where not all the top riders are participating.

Our very own Tom Monterosso provided high quality coverage from the contest. Well about as quality as you can be drunk in a hotel lobby in your underwear.

Jack Mitrani, Eric Jackson, Cornell Agee, and Gabe Taylor make inbounds look out of bounds with windlip sessions and cliff drops. Not a bad way to spend a day at Mammoth.
