Ears were grazed, temperatures were high, and tensions even higher. Another whirlwind of a week, let's get into.
Torment Weather Report: Last summer was the hottest on record, but CNN just released some stats signaling that these past few months have been even worse. Understand which of the lower 48 states are expected to endure the highest temperatures through September.
"Average daily temperatures – calculated by taking the average of each day’s high and low – have soared several degrees above normal for hundreds of cities since June 1. These temperatures are a more complete indicator of how hot the season has been, as they factor in both hotter days and warmer nights."
Takashi Tamamura just dropped some footage from the main island(s), serving as an apt reminder that Japanese spots are unmatched. Blaze up×火達磨!
If you don't know Takashi, check out his dry land footage at Brush Parks...
The backlip heard around the world. You've probably seen the make in Jed Anderson's ender part for RATED R, but what you didn't see were the 10 other attempts leading up to that. RIDE snowboards just released the raw timeline for Jed's footage. Crack open a cigarette, light up a beer, and strap in for 24 minutes of BTS clips.
Here's why Jed won 2024 Snow Globes "Men's Part of the Year."
Wishful thinking, but hoping the next RATED R Timeline comes from none other than Spencer Schubert. Until then, a blast from the past with his Torment Remix part.
Winter 18/19 footage from Ride's SICKY, Videograss' Balance Beam, and our Torment Promotional Video.
Harrison Gordon + a standout license plate (one of the better ones we've seen this summer) to close out Salomon week. A heavy few days on the glacier, where we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the madness.
Countless Hood footage from the Salomon crew: Gian Sutter, Jack Coyne, Robby Meehan, Seb Picard, and Luke Lund.
