Ohhh boy… get an email like this and you just knoooow the weekend was a crazy one.

Hey Stephan what’s up man? The pic is me and RDM obviously it was taken at super park this past week in Bend, Oregon. We spent the week shredding and partying together. Was so fun! Hope all is well and talk soon.

For many of us, the season was a bit of a bust. If you lived up in Whistler or you’re at the level of a Romain de Marchi or JP Solberg and get to travel wherever the conditions are tip top, then you may have experienced scenes like this from YES It’s a Movie…

As the 2012 winter competition season comes to a close the United States Ski Association, the United States Ski Team and Ski Racing magazine have come together to announce the year end National Ski Awards.

Patrick has been named the male United States Freestyle Skier of the Year.

As a proud Cle Elum family that has watched their son and brother train and compete his heart out this year learning that Patrick has been named the male US Freestyle Skier of the year is very exciting and rewarding.

Our family is so very happy we can share this award with all of our friends and supporters within our small community and those from around the country.

We’ve said it before and will say it again… when you receive images like this from your athletes, you can’t help but get inspired. Here Roman Kuss from Austria sends us some random goodies from his late season action. What more could you want?

  • sweet pow;
  • heli access;
  • newspaper/ magazine coverage;
  • a ton of amazing memories.

He promises a more extensive portfolio, which we’re stoked to see. Thanks, Roman! Keep rippin’ it up.

The other day I received from a Shred partner out in Latvia who wrote in about Shred action in his part of the world:

Here’s a pic of our racer Katrina Krumina in GS action. She won the Silver Medal of the Baltic Cup which was organized in Finland – Somutunturi last week. This is event where more then 100 racers from three Baltic states – Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia are contesting for the Alpine Ski National Championships and for the Baltic Cup overall.

This reminds us that there’s a lot of action going on all over the world, wherever people love to shred. Congratulations Katrina!

A few weeks ago Ted Ligety was the star guest at the NATURE VALLEY NASTAR Amateur Ski Championship in Winter Park, Colorado. Competitors from all over the country came down, got outdoors and had fun all weekend long.

And the kids got to see and hangout with Ted. “It’s always amazing when you feel you inspire the kids” said Ted.

If you’re a regular visitor of this blog, you’ve probably also either been a Shred Facebook friend of our Profile or LIKED our Facebook Shredders Page. If you’re looking for either of those, you’ll have found that we made some major changes.

It was time to make things a little more clear and simply combine them into one main Page rolled into one. It’s called Shred Optics and it’s available at http://facebook.com/ShredOptics.

If you’re not already a follower, go hit us up and let’s keep in touch. We love hearing and seeing all the ways you love to shred, no matter the sport, no matter the season.

From OnBoard Magazine Issue #129. Naku is strutting the Shred Omnibot Synchro in this sweet pic. How the hell does he get his board perfectly in the groove of that structure?
