We Be Jammin'

Hey everyone, it's been a while...
Same ol' story, things have been busy behind the scenes here at East Coast Gear Reviews. The Champlain Ski & Ride Club's Preseason Rail Jam went well last weekend. Props to Kristie Adonizio and John Lyke for winning the skiing and riding "Best Trick" categories earning them a lift ticket to Stowe and a gift card to East Coast Skate & Snow, respectively. Check out the Champlain Ski & Ride Club's facebook to peep some gnarly shots from the jam. Here's a few for some of you impatient little wankers.



This past weekend East Coast Skate & Snow in Merrimack, NH is had its Second Annual Rail Jam at their shop. Congratulations to Mike Moore and Will Stellar on becoming East Coast's first team riders and getting hooked up by DC Snowboards. The Eastern Boarder crew was killing it with a pretty solid crew and Mike Prestipino was holdin' it down for the guys at SBJ Skate. As for the setup of the jam (partially assembled by yours truly), it started off with a nice and slick tube rail, later switched out with Bean Snowboard's Boston barricade rail, and an oil tank jib. For the finals we stepped things up by throwing in a barrel jib bonk-to-oil tank jib and then later jacking up the oil tank with a gap-to-barrel for the finals in addition to the original tube rail. Despite the weather, Sunday (yea...it got postponed a day due to rain) was a great day with some good food, good music from WFNX Boston, and a laid back rail jam. If you're ever in the area check out East Coast Skate & Snow and mention ECGR and you'll get 10% off a new 2010 LibTech Skate Banana. Pretty sweet, eh?


So about ECGR...how about some feedback? I recently tossed a batch of stickers at the Champlain Preseason Rail Jam and since then I've had some people asking me for more. Before I print more stickers, I want to get an idea of what people want to see: regular stickers or vinyl die-cuts, and if die-cuts,
the "mountain" logo or the "gold" logo? Or neither?! I'll put up a new poll on the side of the page with the options and I'll probably go with the one with the most votes. I'm not going to charge people for these, however I will ask for a small donation to cover the cost of printing them, so don't assume I'm making a profit on these. As always your feedback is appreciated and it's what helps power this blog (along with electricity) and determines what we talk about in the blog posts, so leave comments on the posts, contact me directly, etc. Think snow!



Oh yeah I almost forgot, some mountains are open/opening soon. No big deal.
