After dusting off the haze that accompanied the previous weeks Grenade Games, our crew got to session a pretty sweet park jump. Danny had been talking about this “eyeball” jump for months. I was having a hard time picturing it but upon arrival all questions had been answered. The thing was insane. Pete Colombo, park builder extordinaire from Mammoth, had taken Danny’s design and layed it out in snow the way few others could. Grenade cinematographers, Greg Wheelz and Jake Redness, decided to get all Picasso on us and painted the thing exactly like “The Boned Age” logo. The Session was good as Louie Vito, Danny Kass, Scotty Arnold, Tyler Flanagan, Sketchy D, Clint Alan, Chris Grenier, Cornell Agee and me shared some good times flying through the darkness onto what fealt like the infield of Dodger stadium. Shit was bright! Look for the footage in Grenade’s new video this September, “The Boned Age”. Gabe T

Jake Blauvelt is a kid from Vermont. He is so good at snowboarding that he turned pro. Now its not just his life, its his job, too. He is an exemplary young man, with great balance. I have been riding (and following snowboarding) for 20 years, and over all these years I have had a few favorite riders. Farmer, Campos, KJ, Huffman, Rüf and now Jake, positively. Now that I write them down, I wonder what link they share, since they are all such different cats. Anyway, Jake rules, so I got him to do an interview, too. Read a little about him.

Let It Ride is the story of Craig Kelly. The film basically chronicles his life in order and highlights everything. You really get know the legend and what made him tick in this 90 minute flick. This movie is no joke either. Done in HD and much epic footage is shown and much footage never before seen. The movie is narrated by James Hettfied (yes from Metallica) with Metallica and other ripping tunes. The film has won several awards at the X Dance and Whistler film festivals.
As far as I am concerned he was one of the greatest and most influential riders of all time. From his soulful approach to the sport to helping to modernize and develop the equipment to dominating competition to dropping out of the scene throwing away the money and creating freeriding, to …everything. There is so much Craig accomplished that you have got to go see this movie. There is not a snowboarder alive that is not touched by his influence some how, some way.
