Some of the team is in town working on some various video interviews and catalog shoots for next year. LNP hopped a greyhound bus from Quebec City to travel down to the office. MFR took a break from working on her new house in Tofino to travel to the Rome headquarters. Eiki finished up his People part and made the stop at the office on his way to Iceland. Bjorn wrapped up a good session at Snowboarder Magazine's Superpark and headed into town, while Will Lavigne made the trek to Vt right before heading to a summer vacation in Costa Rica. The crew is working hard, and skating a bunch as well as catching up with one another on what they've been up to for the past season. Good times in Vermont.
Johnny Lazz: Contest Wins, TV Shows and Becoming Legal
May 07, 2009 - 12:53 PM EST
Rome Am Johnny Lazz has been on a whirlwind tour lately, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. Lazz has had a huge year this season. He’s been traveling, filming and shooting for a few different feature stories due out next fall. In the last couple weeks he’s been holding it down in Nor-Cal, getting it done, and staying jacked up on Red Bull all night. He started his 2-week onslaught down in Mammoth for the PBRJ finals of the year. With the smoothness, he jibbed his way to a win and took home $2,500 cash for his efforts. Also there to shred at the event with some heavy rail jamming was Colorado’s Rome AM, Dylan Alito who took 5th in the contest and 500 bones to boot.
