The Art of Packing.

Before hitting the road, might be a good idea to make a list so you can travel with the piece of mind knowing you didn’t forget shit. Travelling can be a long arduously fun journey, so it’s important to pack smart and light.

Here are a few items that are must haves for me whenever I’m on the move:

1. Kendama (time management)
2. Macbook (Skype: johny_bonney)
3. Multivitamins (gotta stay nice)
4. foam roller (massage on the go)
5. ibuprofen + T3's (tennis elbow)
6. neck pillow
7. sleep mask (a.k.a. sleep anywhere)
8. stainless water bottle (stay hydrated for FREE!)
9. lock for suitcase (ever watch the movie Broke Down Palace?)
10.  book (beach life)
11. iPod (choose your library wisely)
12. sunscreen
13. tape for hands/blisters (until healthy calluses form)
14. passport (duh)
15. travel insurance (just in case)

next stop: THAILAND.

This is from a brand new cable park at Allen Station, Texas. The same dudes responsible for Adrenaline Adventures are behind this one as well, building some proper facilities. Cable riding is about to blowup, and it's long overdue.

Yan Tibo!

Untitled from still not famous on Vimeo.
After putting out two mindblowing edits with Raph Derome, Joe Ferguson and Still Not Famous have done it again but this time with the talent of Yan Tibo. I've always maintained that the talent coming out of Quebec is scary good, and this video is evidence again that these boys are in a league of their own just waiting to blow up...wakeboarding needs more of this straight up!!

Raph and Still Not Famous do it again!

22,400 hits in 48 hours! unreal.
Wakeboarding wants/needs more Raph Derome.
Props to Joe Ferguson for another DOPE ass edit.

More of the best contest ever: Wake the Line 2011.

O'Neill Wake The Line from Ben Hall on Vimeo.

Another sweet video to surface from Wake the Line 2011 that takes you behind the scenes and a little more in depth about the sickest contest of the season. People just can't seem to get enough of this contest, and with good reason ay. Hopefully something like this can make its way back to Canada someday. Props to O'Neill for the video. Enjoy!

new edit! Backyard Sunday session with Benjamin Leclair and Johny Bonney

Backyard Sunday session with Benjamin Leclair and Johny Bonney from Johny Bonney on Vimeo.
Put together a little edit with some of the footage we got on Sunday. Another super fun day at Pop Wake School shredding Julien Derome's Backyard System in St. Zotique, Qué. The video features my friend little Benji who is killing it right now for Slingshot wakeboards...And don't forget the WHAT UP video release party on June 17th at Babylon nightclub in Ottawa!!

Andy's first day!

Headed back up to WOW today for a sunday session with my snowboarder friend Andy Morrish. Andy had never hit rails on a wakeboard, nor as he ever ridden a cable system. The kid did alright, hit a few bangers, and now he's hooked for life! Stay tuned to theboomboxdrea.com for a special edit coming from this day...till then, Happy Sunday!

Nico Von Lerchenfeld: Notes from Thailand

Notes from Thailand from Andy Kolb on Vimeo.
Kid's got style!! Remember this name: Nico Von Lerchenfeld ailing from Germany is the new kid on the block redefining how rails should be done. I'd say he's the only kid who could give Raph Derome a run for his money...It's gonna be sick to see these two battle it out this summer on both sides of the pond.
