YoBeat: Making Fun of Snowboarding Since 1997

A nice home, great folks and plenty of options are supposed to create safe and sane children, but no one told Jarad Hadi. Having developed an unbelievable ability to disregard negative thinking, Jarad enjoys a care free lifestyle, independent of traditions and institutions that would otherwise attempt to control and limit the soul. Without the turmoil and impulsive decision making that [...]

The Salomon team is on tour. When Java Fernandez is in charge, things can get ugly (or beautiful, depending on your perspective.) Louif Paradis, Jed Anderson, Bode Merrill, Scotty Arnold, Harrison Gordon, Chris Grenier, and Chris Carr, in an RV.

Always make sure your kit is looking fresh, you never know where the cameras are.   p. Lyndsey Theriot
The Backyard Bang Rail Jam has hit the road, and the mile-high city was the destination. The Denver snow scene was treated to a circus of Salomon activity. The team was in there — signing autographs, making fun [...]

I have been to some miserable inner city rail jams in my day. I’m talking bitter cold and/or pouring rain, and because you are there simply to spectate, you are never dressed for such elements. But this year’s Backyard Bang was actually the most pleasant urban snowboard experience [...]

Or they will be, thanks to this latest announcement. Takaharu Nakai is the latest member of the team. Here’s the full release and video.

Price: $430
Review: Everyone should try the Acid, especially in the mountains. You’ll feel like you’re floating, and you’ll be getting higher than you’ve ever been before. Keep trying the Acid and you’ll be inspired to explore the depths of your talent. You’ll be able to move at any speed without moving a muscle, [...]

Built it himself, what did you do this winter?
At first glance one might take Chris Grenier to be an average kid. He doesn’t have any forced flare to set him apart, nor does he go out of his way to be the center of attention. But get to know the man and you’ll realize he [...]

Snowboarding is full of talented people, but David Benedek is one of the riders who’s talents extend far beyond the hill. As a video producer, director and art director, he has had his hand in just about everything. But unlike many people who do many things poorly, David is amazing at everything he touches. He [...]

Money man, Jed Anderson…
Jed Anderson is a menace to anyone trying to pay rent by snowboarding. He wins every contest he enters, films more interesting video parts than all his peers, and hasn’t even turned 18 yet. Basically that means he is amazing at what he does, and his part in Transworld’s sophomore project [...]
