KROQ Stormed Bear Mt on Thursday February 15th, 2007! Free Lift Tickets to this event were given out from both Nine Star stores for everyone to enjoy an awesome time on the hill along with live concerts from Mickey Avalon, Saosin and Bullet for My Valentine performing throughout the day!

KROQ Joqs( Kevin & Bean, Kat and Stryker) were also there broadcasting Live and Nine Star/KROQ handed out shirts and other freebies to the audience!  You couldn't ask for a better day.   

So Xtreme it hurts…. Sean thought it would be cool to show us all how to drive out on the back roads of Mammoth. Well the first turn was a little off the mark. Rob and Eric where just a few feet from getting their legs torn off.. After a few turns he got it down and was slidin' around the corner like Sébastien Loeb. 

the last day of the season for me was on 1/31/07. This is due to a fractured Tibula and a torn ACL. i go under the knife next week. all i can say is the pills are great! SEE YA NEXT YEAR!

 It case you are not familiar with the Win Your Wish List contest, here's how it works….every December we leave out some fancy laser light beam scanners…so you grab a scanner and you go around scanning the bar codes on all the product you could ever wish for(up to like $2000 or something like that)…then you take the magical scanner to the computer and load it up to our Nine Star computer elves…you can then print out, or email your wish list to people who are going to be holiday shopping for you…this way you get the gear you want…this nifty little process also enters you in the contest to win your entire wish list!!!

 ….so Jake was the lucky winner this year…his mom actually bought him a bunch of gear from his wish list, so we gave him a $525 gift certificate to make up for that…what mom didn't get him was his Rome Artifact 150 snowboard, and his cherry red Burton Custom Bindings…so we dialed Jake up with his new shred stick and binders to complete his ultimate wish list…I think Jake bought a new Fit BMX bike with his gift card…anyway, Jake got seriously hooked up from Nine Star this holiday season…and I don't think we could have had a more excited and genuine winner. The photo says it all! Congratulation Jake!

Yep, the Burton Rail Jams are over for 2006 and if you missed em, you missed one hell of a time. Wait, you're skimming this paragraph for links to more photos right now aren’t you? Well… don't, cause I didn't take many. In fact the whole reason for this post is really cause I got to use Auto-Stitch, which is a free photo stitching program that actually works most of the time. It's a little weird when people move throughout your shots (see below) but it still beats the hour in Photoshop compiling manually. You can download auto-stitch by clicking here. But sorry, if you wanted the full run down and photo-set from the Burton Rail Jam, you’re just going to have to wait for Eric's slow ass to post them.

I have often wondered why the beautiful couch in the lounge always ends up getting mysteriously tattered and worn, almost like the shoe bench gets drunk and has his way with her at night when everyone leaves the shop…
