YoBeat: Making Fun of Snowboarding Since 1997

Todd took off to become the Ultimate Boarder, leaving us high and dry for our Friday funnies. However, we ran into superstar Danny Kass and decided waiting on Todd sounded stupid. So here it is folks, High Fives with Danny Kass. 
Are you going to win the US Open this year, why or why not? 
I was [...]

The Snowqualmie crew threw us another edit. This time with shaky hand and super long intro filters.

Having been to events on both coasts and plenty in the Midwest, I’ve noticed one really big difference. On the coasts anyone under 18 competing is usually stacked with skills. In the Midwest if you’re over 18 and competing people are looking at you funny. I think this might be what people call “Midwestern sensibility” [...]

A fast moving storm hit the West Coast on Friday March 12, 2010 bringing up to 2 feet of fresh snow in the Sierras. The snowmobiles were loaded up on the trailers as I headed out for another great backcountry day. The crew included: Andy Finch, Ryan Eagan, Andy [...]

By 2010 the Ride Shakedown had outgrown its Canadian roots and became a multi-stop action sports circus. The American debut was held at Summit at Snoqualmie, a hill known for park, night riding and being close to downtown Seattle. My job was simple enough; drive to Snoqualmie and cover two days of snowboard action. 
A day [...]

It’s not easy being a slave to the big bad corporate machine. Days are filled with long, painstaking hours spent punching your fingertips to the bone, only to have your boss steal your precious red swing line stapler and move your desk down to “Storage B.” Well, that’s at least how it is [...]

In order to do this you will need a strong ollie, some determination, and a good spot. Caleb Flowers is a skateboarder at heart. Watch and lean as Caleb negotiates this sketchy line. Pushed in by a friend Caleb pops an ollie over a waist high rail skims a quick boardslide over rocks then puts [...]

After the acclaimed success of the first Fuckin Huntah edit, another was obviously in order. It’s like Johnny Drama said…

Possibly inspired by a previous video we’ve posted, the snowboarding miscreants at Sugarloaf actually got their passes pulled during the making of this video. Trouble. Nothing but trouble.

It’s no secret that snowboarding has hit the mainstream (6-plus years ago)! But while the snowboard industry is busy figuring out how to use the hype to sell more snowboards, the rest of the world is deftly using snowboarding to sell just about anything. For example:
Telephone Service

Technically, AT&T produced this commercial to show their (monetary) [...]

The Ride Shakedown is the place to be in the Northwest right now. Previously a “Canadian” thing, the mayhem shred fest landed stateside on March 12, 2010 at the Summit at Snoqualmie. After the nighttime rail shredding was done, Austin Hironaka and Izzy Lalive took top honors for their stunts, and Zimmerman was there to [...]

Logic would tell you the first few sessions of snowboard camp are they way to go (that snow stuff melts handily during the summer) but in 2009, Session 5 was especially rad. Thanks mostly to the America’s Next Top Pro Model contest, everyone who’s anyone was there. We heard every session five camper got their [...]

Earthquakes, poverty, internet haters and all sorts of stuff is currently ravaging this great planet.  What does Todd Richards think of this downward decline? Can he save us? Well, obviously not because he’s just an aging father of two, but he sure can make us laugh about it. 
Two earthquakes in 2010, is this a sign [...]

The Family Tree boys recently met Canada’s coolest Dad. They even have video proof. For more on this crew check out their site HERE and get a glimpse at a bunch of free snowboard junk. Oh yeah, and to the crew, how about next time you name Yobeat instead of whatever that other site you mentioned [...]

It’s not that often that Morgantown, WV gets enough snow for serious urban sessions, so when it does, you gotta take advantage like AJ Lawson and Cooper Thomas did during a recent storm. More importantly, they entertained the locals.

With so much on their plate Knife Show has only found time to make mini-edits. From their minds to your eyes, here are the two latest.

With guns o’ plenty, a mean mustache and an apartment in Reno, Robbie Sell is nothing short of an American badass. After the tragic death of a once prominent snowboard career Robbie has recently [...]

Watch and learn fool. Be sure to check Cody’s part in the smash hit Skeleton Crew video and in the upcoming Commotion Video.

The Doom/Love crew went to Turkey awhile back. We’ve been patiently awaiting the video, but apparently they either think they are an old media outlet, or they are trying to make it “good.” Anyway, the teaser is out and the full video should be done very, very soon. Until then, go read up on their [...]

This park at Mt. Hood Meadows was technically “closed.” Jeff Holce is in High School, so he doesn’t care!!
When you’re a teenager, it may be hard to imagine you will ever get “over” snowboarding. In fact, if you are under the age of 18 (or even 22), you should probably stop reading this right now. [...]

It’s no secret the Skeleton Crew is full of little people, so what else would you expect them to build if they had their way but a mini pipe with fun jibs? Last summer, this is what went down on it at Windells. This year, who knows that will happen!
This video is brought to you [...]

Every since I moved to Portland, I’ve had a basic understanding of the snowboard scene. You ride Meadows in the winter and Timerberline in the summer. As it turns out, I was grossly misinformed, as if you want to ride sweet jib lines, Tline is the spot. Thankfully, my new friend Jeff cleared it up [...]

For the most part Eric Enquist is normal. For example, if he sees a classified ad in the local paper that says “Computer Games, $5 OBO” he’ll hop the bus to the address provided and see if it’s a legit
deal. The other part of him, the snowboard one, is crazier than a shit-house rat. A [...]

The Olympics are finally over and Todd is no longer in a foreign country. For Todd that means he can finally see his family again, for us, that means we don’t have to think about ice dancing anymore. This week we are bringing back the Todd in High Fives with Todd Richards. Here we go…

32 returned to Brighton Resort on 3/2/10 to host the 2nd annual 32 Day Banked Slalom and Rail Jam. After a long build day of shaping all 12 turns, 2 rails, 1 hitching post and a silly jump, it was time to start things off.

Helltrack has been an ongoing project in the hills of Lake Tahoe. Thanks to B.J. Baur and Roan Rogers for inviting me and some friends to go shred it. Don’t ask me where it is because I was literally blindfolded and flown in by helicopter.– Zak Shelhamer

Whilst only a 45-minute train journey from London, arriving in Milton Keynes gives one the sense that perhaps he’s in the sprawling suburbs of a city in the American Midwest. Identically constructed office buildings occupy massive lots with space to spare. Its strip malls, boulevards and [...]

Pow shredding with Max Warbington, guaranteed as fun as it looks.

Dave takes a hands on approach. He’s actually whittling a snowboard out of that snow bank.
Amidst a sea of giant ski brands and influx of corporate culture, there are still plenty of small snowboard brands, run by snowboarders. Monument may be out of Washington DC, not exactly a snowboard epicenter, and Dave Tran may [...]

Life on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula ain’t easy. According to out trusted friend the Rumorator, who recently returned from a pilgrimage to this somewhat foreign land, “It’s still cool for skiers to hate on ‘boarders’ up there. If it wasn’t for Obama, we would be the most hated people in the entire Upper Peninsula.” So keep [...]
