Boards and Decks has been pretty much dead for some time, which i’m sure a few of you have noticed. This was due to many things which I won’t go into. However I am able to devote more time and attention to the web again but it just didn’t feel right kicking this old beast back into gear.. so I decided to create a NEW blog: WhoaSnow

Whoa it’s WhoaSnow.com! WhoaSnow is a purely winter based blog focusing 90% of it’s attention on snowboarding. Sorry skaters.. my true passion has always been snowboarding.

So if any of my old readers are actually looking, come check out www.whoasnow.com and say hello.

P.S… Eventually this site will be dismantled, stripped of its dignity, broken, cooked and maybe even eaten. In other words, BND is now available for a limited time only!

Before BND ceases to exist (see above post) I thought i would post one more tribute to Skateboarding by spreading the word about El Skate Shop.

Aside from being an online skate shop carrying a variety of skate products from most any brand out there, El Skate Shop is also a skateboarders destination site for so much more. From first looks you might be misled by its clean design and simple navigation. However, once you begin to dive into the site you realize that every product comes with a lot more than a price tag. We’re talking everything from product reviews, to how to apply grip tape and even the history behind some of your favorite labels.

Recently they have taken it upon themselves to start accepting videos from all you amateur skaters out there looking for a sponsorship. What’s even better is they’re putting them out there for the public to view while also showcasing the latest and greatest.

So take a minute to check them out.
