Union Binding Company · 2008-2009

Little buddy got busted up recently, so he's got some free times on his hands.  Thanks for stopping by Jacob.  Stay positive and drink your milk!

Being the well rounded rider he is, TJ takes the win Friday at the Grenade Games.  Dustin Craven placed third.  Good job boys!

Lots of footage of this online at grenadegloves.com and gnarcore.com

Gigi stopped by the Northwest for a little 3-day layover on his way to Alaska.  We went up to Stevens Pass, talked bindings, drank beers, stayed in a haunted Skykomish hotel, and had an all-around good time.  The kid is loaded with good binding ideas.  Have fun in AK, and be safe buddy! 

After taking a hiatus from the Open for a few years (maybe 4 years?),  Danny rolled into Stratton and bagged win #5.  After a season riddled with injury, it’s good to see the kid finish strong.  It doesn’t get any better than this.

Good coverage over at snowboardrevolution.com and grenadegloves.com

Apparently when you get on the Stepchild pro team, they give you a company issued black Nissan Titan, and black Ski Doo Summit.  Amazing.

Joe and Stian stopped by the house today with their trucks and sleds.  Man, these guys have it rough.  We hung out for a while and watched Joe try to mount a pair of bindings on his board, and then went up the street for some Thai.  Good seeing you guys.  Be safe out there. 

Joel Fraser sent me this shot from Japan.  Pretty AF Joel.

Union AM Pal Sorensen has been having a great winter.  7th at the Arctic Challenge?  I didn't know he could ride 1/4 pipes?

Here's some recent coverage of the nicest Norwegian you'll ever meet.

Another trip to the Slope contest, another 1st place, and another year of powder.  Sorry I missed that part of the trip!  :^(
