There may or may not be a few issues inside. Another week, let's get into it.

Torment Weather Report: After one of the wettest winters on record, California hillsides are exploding with wildflowers. A superbloom you didn't know you needed, but the perfect compliment to an unprecedented West coast winter.

"The wildflower takeover is dominating hillsides so intensely that the blooms are visible from space. Streaks of poppy orange and bright, lemony yellows can be seen in satellite imagery across canyons and hilltops that for years have been brown, barren areas."

Some audiovisual evidence never hurt. A Today special on some of Southern California's most prolific hillsides.

Public submissions for Issue SIX are closer than you think. We wouldn't be bummed on some of this foliage.

Not the usual Danimals update from us. Looks like he swapped snow for some dirt last weekend, reminding us of his clips in the RIDE Snowboards x See See Motor Coffee collab from last year.

On the topic of dirt bikes, Ben Ferguson paired his boarding with a couple two wheelers the other week for the Red Bull Fathom event. A little recap of his time in Mammoth up on the gram now.

We stumbled upon this video a few days ago. Decade old Seth footage got us thinking about the days when you felt comfortable putting your full address on a YouTube caption. Times have changed, but Sponsor Me tapes live forever. A quick 15 minute Google search and we were able to compile a few of our favorites.

— The legendary McGillicuddy brothers (2000)
— Desiree Melancon (2009)
— Noah Brown (2012 and 2014)
— Jaeger Bailer (2011)
— Blake Lamb (2012)

Spencer paying it forward after winning the 2023 Short Video of the Year. The momentum continues after Assisted Living.

The Snow Globe Awards are a wrap, and, in an effort to put it all on the table, we've offered a results breakdown for some closure. Some bias, even more write ins, and a whole lot of votes to sift through.

Instagram Clip of the Week: Jesse Augustinus going the distance (120 ft).
