From Breck to Tahoe to Baker to AK, Shawn Farmer was an original badass during the late 80s and 90s. Snowboarding has never truly seen anyone like him since. Here’s his classic from Critical Condition.

With my factory trip about an hour from over, i thought i’d put together an image of some of the stuff i saw while here. That’s right folks, a super early, exclusive look at some of the 2011 graphics.
Or at least some real small parts of them. In the meantime, go treat yourself to some of the banging graphics that we have hitting your local SNOWBOARD shop right now!
While enjoying the view outside my desk here at Rome, it dawned on me. Side business.
When starting a new business, there are a few rules to keep in mind.
First off, when it comes to commercial real estate, location, location, location. My desk is the equivalent of a Hobo drive through, it’s a stroll through location. I get the customers in, get them the product they need, and they’re on their way.
Do your research. I’ve watched countless Hobo stroll past, and carefully observed attire, tools and calculated needs. Really that’s a lie, but in my mind, I have a pretty good idea of what these care-free tramps are looking for.
On top of making some serious scratch on bandanas, it also gave me the idea to mess with Sully a bit, our sales manager here at Rome. Check this sign out.
It’s going to scare the shit out of him when strange hobos keep coming to his window with their mouth open looking like this. He’ll think zombies are attacking or something
Yo!

Oh man, did i get a treat today. I have never seen the film Quick Change that this clip comes from, but I will be getting my hands on it as soon as possible. God I miss NYC.
Oh, and one of the best lines in a long time “yes, but they’re fur bearing. I’d need some kind of permit, wouldn’t I?”
Though nothing like today’s 22-footers in NZ, these were some of the first major halfpipe sessions ever and the start of real progression. Pretty much all the heavies of the day were there–Kidwell, Craig, Palmer, Lamar, Damian, etc. And except for a few other random boards like Damian’s Avalanche, pretty much everyone was on a Kidwelll pro model. A bunch of photos made it into print in Transworld, including at least one of Kidwell’s classic slobs.
That's a spot we found not so long ago. There are 4 different spots you can jump off. Lots of fun.
Nic Hides and the Future Sports crew down under are no strangers to Radio Birdman. They destroy it doing the Stooges “TV Eye” cover.
The lead singer dances wierd but he still rocks and I dig anyone with their own style. The embroidered lion on the back of his cut off jean jacket gets him extra points in my book too.
I just got to our board factory in Austria today, and one of the first things i saw was the tops and bases for the new Agent ‘85. You heard right kids – a reverse camber version of the tried and true Agent is on its way to stores, and should be available sometime in November. In the meantime, here’s a preview of the final graphics, complete with 1/1 paint splatters.
This is what the topsheet and base look like before they get made into a snowboard. Agent '85 155 (left) and 157 (right)
A little detail for you.
If this is the board you want this season, be sure to ask your local rome dealer about it – not many are being produced, so you have to act fast to get your hands on one.
I also got to see some boards getting their finishing touches done before getting shipped to your local shop.
Machine 151's coming off the finishing line, ready for final inspection
Fat stack of Postermania's waiting for their turn down the finishing line.
And then there’s this, and i have no idea what’s going on here…
