YoBeat: Making Fun of Snowboarding Since 1997

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 [...]

We know you’ll miss these videos from the Timberline Public Park, but we’re sorry, summer’s over! The last two weeks of camp time were riddled rain, but that didn’t stop the shredding. And, for the truly hardcore among us, the lifts are still turning. So instead of bitching, get up there.

The IHeartSnow crew spent two weeks riding and filming at Mt. Hood. Summerdays is the result.

The third and final round of Bonfire’s 12th annual Pipe to Pipe was the best yet. On-hill the snow course was littered with features; down rails, flat bars, boxes, plastic jumps, those bumpy tubes everyone is so into, and a whole slew of other metal objects to slide [...]

This week it went from sweltering hot, to cold and socked in. Through it all, the Timberline Public Park didn’t slow down. Check out dudes in funny outfits “getting some” this week.

Just when you thought the only way to snowboard (or watch snowboarding) this summer in a competitive fashion was stupid inner city on beach rail jams, it’s time for the Pipe to Pipe. Three events, snowboarding, skateboarding, and free Ballpark franks that were traded to TWS for those awesome ads on their website! We’re sold. [...]

Scotty Wittlake and Jimmy Fontaine were in attendance.
There was a contest on Sunday. It was the first annual Hips and Lips. Atmosphere clothing put it on with help from the Timberline park crew. A giant hip was built, lots of kids showed up, and a couple of pros rode by. Many of the would-be [...]

Summer is just around the corner, and while that means your local hill and life have melted away, we here at Yobeat have great news: summer camps! Snowboard camps on Hood, Whistler, and in countries south of the border not only save snowboarders [...]

Your parents said they’ll do anything to get you out of the house this summer, even put up the money to send you to one of those costly snowboard camps. Fifteen hundred dollars and a plane ticket in hand, you call every camp in North America, only to find no openings. Looks like [...]
