This week's webisode of Woodward Tahoe Fridays showcases Minnesota native, turned Tahoe local, Nial Romanek. As Nial's name has become common vernacular in snowboarding over the last few seasons, he has continually impressed with his fluid, technical style and deep arsenal of switch tricks. Nial is the definition of a snowboarder who let's his riding do the talking, and at the rate he's going, we're happy to listen whenever he has something to say.

Once again The Launch proved itself to be the most important event in snowboarding for showcasing up and coming talent. The level of riding that went down at Bear was all time with some seriously next level tricks going down at an almost minute by minute basis. One of the most impressive things about this year's Launch however was how hard the younger crew pushed things, not content to just lap the public park and jib the sides of the jumps, this year's Supergrom crew packed up and snaked their way into sessions along side the older crew on the hips, jibs and big jumps. While a lot of older kids sat down or found reasons not to hit things the younger squad led by Red Gerard, Cody Warble, Gabe Ferguson, and Brock Crouch had the time of their lives at Bear riding everything and often times packing up and hitting everything together. We dubbed them the "Supergroms" and as you watch this try to think just what you were doing at 12 years old.

From Ian Ruhter:
In the process of preparing the time machine, I had no idea this would become one of the most extraordinary journeys to date. It would propel me into the future where I meet Chase Jarvis, one of the greatest photographers of all time. It would then send me back in time to meet with my old friend, Peter Line, the best snowboarder of this era.
All of a sudden I found myself in the present, making a picture of Ishmael Butler from the Diggable Planets. I had travelled the way you would in a dream, taking me backward into the future. A future where you paint with silver and light.
Not so long ago, four stars were created, and they each started on their own separate journeys through the universe. Astronomers once thought the chance of stars colliding was roughly once in an eternity. For this to happen in our lifetime, would be a rare and remarkable event. If scientists could predict these collisions in the future, does this mean their paths are pre-determined?
In my journey through life, it was never clear if my path was pre-determined, or if I had the ability to alter my own destiny. I would like to believe that my journey through this universe has already been mapped out. If so, then building this camera, and meeting these incredible people has been no accident, and this explains the theory that everything happens for a reason. Are we all part of a bigger picture?

In the beginning of April, the Flow crew headed to the Chugach Mountain Range in the great white north for Flow Tailgate Alaska. As most of North America was shifting focus to spring, Alaska was still in the cold of winter, with plenty of powder to be had. There's not much better than camping out, partaking in Flow Tailgate AK festivities like snow science classes, man games, parties, snowmobiling, and of course, shredding epic lines. The experience of Flow Tailgate AK is exemplified by Tim Humphreys, Iris Lazzareschi, Mike Basich, Jason Gretzinger, and Shin Biyajima, as they take on the ridges of AK in this edit of enormous proportions.

There are two things that are important to take away from this video: first, 100% of Australian astronauts prefer SNOWBOARDER Magazine. Second, Grenade Games 9 is coming to Mammoth April 27-28, 2013. Luckily you don't need to jump out of a space crane to get there, so make sure you get to Mammoth for two days of legendary shredding at one of the best events of the season.
