Red Bull Supernatural – Full TV Show

Webmonkey — Tue, 15 May 2012 19:15:20 +0000

Red Bull Supernatural brings together 18 of the best back country snowboarders for a one-day freestyle competition on a course designed to show off and test each athlete’s strength in various disciplines of the sport. Red Bull Supernatural promises to deliver a run beyond anyone’s wildest dreams.

“Red Bull Supernatural calls upon all necessary skills; the ability to ride natural terrain, to navigate down big mountain lines, to ride powder, pillows and adverse, crazy obstacles. Most importantly the course will call on one’s freestyle knowledge and experience forcing riders to integrate that into one’s all-mountain riding,” says Travis Rice.

“The contestants are basically on a cat-boarding trip. They’ll be shredding lines, eating good food, hanging out, playing ping pong and enjoying each other’s company that week. And then they get to have a wicked contest on the nicest day of the week!” says Jeff Pensiero, owner of Baldface Lodge.

“It’s a snowboarding contest that will truly determine the best all-around snowboarder in the world. I’m excited to see the different aspects of snowboarding represented and riders competing on this custom-made stage.”

“A year ago my life was brought into perspective by mountains that are far bigger than anything I had experienced. Mountains that forever changed my life! I learned if you take the time to watch and listen, they teach you things you couldn’t have learned anywhere else. Alaska, the land of the midnight sun is a place where you can find whatever it is you’re seeking. Whether it be your riding, your life, your beliefs, it’s an open palate to express whatever that may be.”-Benny Schmitt

BENT METAL’S KINKO DE MAYO – MT BACHELOR – 2012

Webmonkey — Thu, 10 May 2012 18:35:16 +0000

Bent Metal successfully resurrected the rotting burro corpse that is Kinko de Mayo recently at Mt Bachelor in Oregon.

We had a plethora of sombreros, biker vests, chips & salsa, a stacked playlist of punk and metal and yes…a Squirt pit.

Bent Metal Knights Jesse Burtner, Sean Genovese and Jeff Keenan held down the judging on the five kink features (El Guapo, Tijuana Tube, El Burro, Burrito Box and Tube-A-Lero) the Bachelor Parks crew set-up just for the event.

When the corn chips cleared, Aaron Cardwell took the overall Tortilla Title and got a new DWD board, Poler Napsack and the LAST POSSIBLE INVITE to Snowboarder Magazine’s Superpark. Well done kid.

Thanks to Bent Metal Binders, Mt. Bachelor, Lib Tech Snowboards, GNU Snowboards, Arnette Eyewear, Poler Stuff, Dinosaurs Will Die Snowboards, COAL, YoBeat and Snowboarder Magazine for making it happen.

See you next spring.
Zero Innovation…Perfect Execution…Bent Metal.
