YoBeat: Making Fun of Snowboarding Since 1997

Watch it. He’s the pride of New Hampshire, dammit.

Todd’s busy, bored and ready to ditch the Olympics for some surf n’ turf and some family time in his sunny So-Cal home. In the mean time though, we’ll keep bugging him as he slowly loses his mind.
How do you feel about the bad press the American Snowboarders have been getting?
I think that when [...]

Scotty Lago may not have won the gold medal, but he certainly struck gold in Vancouver. Despite his questionable morals (aka, having a good time) the New Hampshire native will be honored with his very own parade this Sunday, February 27, in his hometown of Seabrook, NH. Actually, the parade was seemingly planned before the [...]

Finally, we have a reason to stay up past 10! Everyone from Shaun White to Scotty Lago (ok, that’s really it) have been, or will be, tearing up the late night circuit. Oh, that’s just me who goes to bed at 9:30? Anyway, all these appearances are on the Internet the next day! If you [...]

Finally the Olympic shit show has ended and we can refocus on the important stuff—being cool, getting a sponsor-me-tape squared away and keeping current with snowboarding’s ever changing scene. Luckily for you a top secret Yobeat document slipped through the cracks yesterday, and before the blogging world goes crazy stealing our secrets and branding our [...]

As good Americans, it’s hard not to be offended by the display put on by the snowboarders on the US team over the last few days. First example, we have Louie Vito, who was so busy rocking out to his iPod before his run, he didn’t even know it was his turn! The nerve! Luckily, [...]

We’ve got Olympic fever and it’s mostly cause Scotty Lago made the team. Not only is he a good ol’ New England boy, but he’s down for a good time, even while trying to make Team USA. If anyone can show the world what snowboarding is really about (hint: not double corks) it’s Scotty.
As the [...]

Is Chad Otterstrom the next Robbie Sell? “Nah, just something to do when you get tired.” All photos taken by Chad over the past seasons. Be sure to read up on him in his Hump Day Interview here. (Click on any image to enlarge)

Shaun White will make the double-cork a TV household name this winter on NBC, ESPN and beyond.  Make no mistake that his command over these tricks and determination to bring them into the competitive arena is truly impressive.  If this were NASCAR, Shaun basically just built a car that’s twice as fast, and the rest [...]

NYC loves Red Bull, and Anthrax.

Hot Chicks, Dave England, and not much else.

Nick and Brooke bombard Scotty Lago via iChat. Hilarity ensues.

YoBeat’s got history and some of the people who’ve made it are still around. Here’s an update.
