"Deadicated": The Premiere

Quinny_ollie......heck yes!

With the red carpet rolled out CC Theater steez at UVM some really cool guys premiered their snowboard film “Deadicated” from this past season (p.s. I know how to spell dedicated, this is just how we do). The crowd was loud, rowdy and was deprived of extreme snowboarding since the local mountains can no longer provide this for us dedicated east (ice) coast riders.

Finally Shawn Mayer started the shit we came to see and the audience was wowed. Wowed is a pretty cool word that just came to me, I think I am going to use it more often you can cop that steez if you like it as much as I do. The tunes that caressed our ears made us want to hit the slopes and do some crazy things in the park or get on a ghetto dance floor possibly at Millenium (Ok 2nd Floor) in downtown Burlington. Either way the film entertained and displayed dedicated riders shreddin’ the gnar and throwing down madness in the terrain park. This vid made me giggle and chuckle repeatedly and I liked it so much that I had to own it. I am sure that you would agree; so email me if you want the info for purchasing power. Usually the verbal teaser on the back of movies are lame but not coming from these dudes. Now I really feel like I should be getting paid for promotional purposes, nahh I am thanking these guys for giving me a purpose on this lazy Sunday besides praying and all that religiousness.

After the film ended a couple of cops were immediately perusing the premises of the CC Theater because apparently the snowboarder fans were a little too loud and rowdy and cracking open cans of pbr is against policy. Would we honestly expect anything less? I think whenever I am around those wonderful protectors of our communities arrive; does this mean I am always in a dangerous situation?  I don’t believe so. I just think us snowboarders like to get crazy while being extreme in all situations. We do what we want, gosh! This could be why police are engaged in many of our activities. David Bowie sang a song about us: Rebel, rebel. If you haven’t heard it, I would advise illegally downloading considering the title of the song. Just kidding, I am one of those people who wore F&#% Napster tee-shirts because who wants free music when you can pay for it? I can spell that fuck word out here at yobeat but doesn’t F&#% look kind of badass? So now that I have steered you completely away from the moral of the story…

Shawn stalls fence style...now that's what I'm talkin' about!

Of course this premiere gave us a great excuse for a celebration and by celebration I mean consuming alcohol and getting chaotic Britney and Kevin style. We after partied until the wee hours of the a.m. and that is when I decided that this evening earned Yobeat status. When ideas arrive in a drunken stupor usually they are horrible and should never be put into action. But this my friend is no red heart tattooed on my left breast with the name Bob inscribed in a classy script. This is simply one dedicated girl sharing her story.

p.s. LDBsnow and Architechs (producers of this film) advise “everyone to get off the couch and ride everyday” heck yea I agree but our season of snowshredding has ended here in the 802 so I personally advise you: ride…something everyday (no gutter mind intended).
