This has been the summer of exotic interns at STS. We’ve got peeps representing Brazil, France, Mexico, the Philippines and even the Navajo nation. We have a feeling we learned more from them than they did from us. Things like: Frenchys embarrass Brazilians at ping-pong. Filipinos eat Honey Nut Cheerios nonstop and can carry 5 times their body weight in stacks of paper. IBS is a dominant trait in Mexicans. A Navajo Taco has 30,000 calories. Brazilians have an irrational fear of mangos and milk mixing together and killing you.
Today we are losing the first of our foreign friends. Hugo the Frenchy is going back home to hop around with his fellow froggies, eat baguettes and practice his epic mime routine in his tight stripped shirt and raspberry beret. We will miss him. Even though he is hardwired to hate Americans, we hope he makes an exception for his STS family in his cold black French heart.
We like hood rat street things. So when we heard Rob Dyrdek and DC Shoes were putting together their own street skate series we were jazzed. When we were asked to do up the Street League Facebook app, that jazzed feeling shot straight from our core down into our fingertips. And that’s when it happened. We all broke out in spontaneous jazz hands. It was embarrassing.
If you have a steady job like we do and can’t trip around the country taking in all of Street League’s gnarly glory, this app is for you. Just jump on the Facebook and watch it all go down LIVE from every stop on the tour. Peep facebook.com/streetleague to catch every second of the ridiculousness. Big ups to our boys at MSI and DC for making this happen.

Now that the thaw is upon us and the ski season has officially come to a close, we thought we’d post all the Pow Mow webisodes in one place. We had some serious good times making magic with Powder Mountain this year and are already gearing up for next season. Until then…Have a great summer. Stay cool. Don’t party without us. Totally KIT (keep in touch). Don’t do anything we wouldn’t do. We’re the first person to sign your crack. Seriously, we have to hang out this summer. Math totally sucked. See you next year.

According to Google analytics Maine has some sort of beef with us. Every other state and a gaggle of other countries have checked out our site, but when it comes to Maine, nada. Goose eggs. What did we ever do to you Maine? You think you’re better than us or something? We check out your stuff all the time. We eat syrup and read Steven King on the reg. Until Google tells us you’re giving us some love we’re boycotting lobster, logging and lighthouses. This is going to hurt us more than it hurts you but we’re going to prove our point dammit.
The planets finally aligned and we got the chance to work with the granddaddy of snowboarding. We teamed up with our good friends at MSI to make a sick Burton app for Nokia to stoke out a worldwide audience. We first wrote and launched it for the Nokia on the WRT platform. Then we did an iPhone version, which is currently being routed through Burton and should be in the app sore soon. We’re also hooking it up for Android. The LiftLine.tv app basically turns your smart phone into a virtual TV where you can watch multiple Burton channels chuck full of sweet streaming content. The backend CMS allows Burton to upload limitless amounts of videos and even channels on the fly, which are automatically synced with the Level 3 network and streamed seamlessly through the app. The iPhone version lets you pick and choose your favorite content and even create your own network. This was a beast to get done but we’re beyond stoked how it turned out. Working with Burton is a rare privilege not many peeps get. We can’t wait for the next time.
