Top Ten Snowboarding Blogs

This week, we are going to post a few different top 10 lists (Movies, Holiday Books, 2010 Trends)The first list is by Wyatt C. This list will help snowboarders for helpful info:)
1. Yobeat http://www.yobeat.com/ - In terms of sheer content, Yobeat provides the most amount of constantly updated information, video edits, and interviews. The best part of the site is the sarcastic humor, which is seen in their masthead-“Making fun of Snowboarding since 1997”. The site has great opinion columns, and also features personal interviews with pro riders.

2. Shayboarder http://www.shayboarder.com/ - Shannon Johnson is the creator of this blog. The product reviews and daily updates are alone enough to make this blog great. However the best posts are the Industry interviews, which allow readers to learn more about the working of snowboarding than they ever could alone.
3. Totally FK’N Awesome http://the-tackledbox.blogspot.com/ - The personal blog of Johan Malkoski, (co-creator of Capita snowboards) Totally FK’N Awesome is full of his signature humor. The trip updates are thoughtful, but the funniest posts are those regarding his children.

4. The Shred Remains http://www.romesnowboards.com/theshredremains/ - The blog of Rome Snowboards, The Shred Remains does a great job of staying subjective. The videos and iPhone interviews are the best parts of the site.

5. Tahoe Dangerzone http://tahoedangerzone.com/ - A video blog, Tahoe Dangerzone has redefined what it means to be a filming snowboarder. Instead of creating one large, highly edited video per season, the guys at Tahoe Dangerzone create episodes throughout the season, which last year totaled 25.

6. Technine http://blog.technine.com/ - Technine Snowboards may be known for their tough image, but their blog’s specialty are the personal stories. The obligatory team announcements are made, but the best posts are the lifestyle ones.

7. Right Brain Left Brain http://www.thinkthank.com/RightBrainLeftBrain.html - The blog of Think Thank productions, Right Brain Left Brain is named after their newest film. The blog has extra edits and previews for the movie, but it also has great coverage of local events.

8. The Angry Snowboarder http://www.angrysnowboarder.com/ - The Angry Snowboarder has the best snowboard reviews out of every blog. He has no problem declaring products terrible, and does so in a humorous manner for the reader. The highly opinionated editorials are the highlight of the site, and feature great arguments on current issues in snowboarding.

9. South of the North http://southofthenorth.blogspot.com/ - South of the North is the best blog for industry products. It is full of previews and reviews of new gear for snowboarding.

10. Transworld Snowboarding http://snowboarding.transworld.net/- While it may not be a true blog, the website for Transworld Snowboarding Magazine does have the best world-wide coverage of snowboarding events. It may not provide the best insights, but it does the best job of getting news.

Get Excited for our next list!
