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?

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

Nice job Shige!

Here's the "official" press release: 

I can't believe how good these turned out.  The Danny binding is most similar to the Data - smooth riding and uber comfy.  The more they're ridden, the better they look too.  Limited distribution on these babies, get em while they're hot!!!

The press release is all over, but best viewed here:  http://www.snowboard-mag.com/node/32924

There are more movie premiers than you can shake a stick at, but this is the one right here folks.  Come check out Union riders ripping it up.  Joe Sexton, Jon Kooley, Dustin Craven, Jonas Carlson, and others.  Show up and I'll buy you a drink!

Summer is almost over, and UNION bindings are hitting the shred shops. 
Here's one you probably didn't see coming - the Limited Edition Danny Kass Binding. 

We're real excited about this thing, and here are some of the binding features:
-Hand painted Blood Splatter (each one different).
-Highback Danglers:  Metal Union, Grenade, and Boned Age icons.  (or add your own flair)
-Heshed out denim and other misc materials.

Booyaaahh!
