In honor of the new website launch, we’re kicking the new season of WWBM with a classic. The best waiter ever caught on film, Bill “Bug” Murray and this clip never get old, and that’s why this is getting posted again.
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!
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?”
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…
WWBM is back, due in part to one Mr. John Cavan. He was keeping this amazing performance form me this whole time. Bill Murray as the late, great Hunter S. Thompson in “Where the Buffalo Roam.” Although Hunter hated this film, it perfectly illustrates why Bill Murray is one of the greatest actors of our generation. Enjoy.

Next time i’m in SF, you can bet i’ll be stopping by here and posting some photos of the food.
A couple weeks ago, my wife and I went to Gloucester, MA with her parents, brother, etc, for an epic week hanging on the beach, reading some good books, freezing my balls off in the water, and eating some of the best sea creatures i’ve ever had. If you appreciate eating the finer things from the sea, i highly recommend a trip out there.
Here is a photo journal of the trip. Some of the photo quality falls in the ‘questionable’ department, but, ya know, like, deal with it.
The view from the second floor. Not bad.
