Once again, the time is now behind us to crown the best riders, footage, and videos in snowboarding. Voting for the Fourth Annual Torment Snow Globes went down back in mid-February, and we spent the past few weeks sifting through over 45,000 votes to understand who will go home with this year's globes. The past year saw no shortage of standout riding + footage, and that's probably why we received 20,000+ more votes than last year. To put that into perspective, votes almost doubled—and with that maybe geographically-based affinities and write-ins did as well...
So, after 45,000 votes were sifted through, we can't help but thank you for commemorating your favorite riders, video parts, and films of the past year. Your votes do not go unnoticed, even if you thought you were slick by submitting sham emails. A few standouts (no@no.com, fuck@gmail.com, spookyoldman@gmail.com, snowboardingsucks@gmail.com) left us amused, but our IT security team kept tabs on all of you that thought you could get away with using shit-related terms as your email prefix. Turns out the only way to make up for it is buy a mag.
Now, with cheating out of the equation, there's only one other thing to address. As always, if there's any far fetched conspiracy theories centered around biased decisions or favoritism afterwards, at least we know who to turn to.
