| Show Me Your TwitThis little gem of a tweet came from none other than the infamous Peter Line himself. If you are part of the twitterverse and you aren't following "Peetard" yet, then it is highly recommended. He is full of good ones like this: I named my kidneys, my left ones named Robert and my right, John F. And they're both shot." To follow Peter Line on Twitter click here.

Take a leap into the "beautiful and sexy world of Peter Line" at www.peetard.com, and don't say we never did anything nice for ya'. Channels: Snow Peter Line Video Interview: "So You Snowboard, Allegedly." Sarah Morrison is one of the most famous internet personalities around. (It's ok if you haven't heard of her, but you should check out her blog over at Volcom Girls here and you'll see why people love her... and in some cases hate her.) Sarah Morrison doesn't really have much to do with Snowboarding, except that she seems to know a few people in the industry... (cough cough, Bridges... cough cough BrookeGeery...) So what happens when internet famous Sarah Morrison meets snowboarding famous Peter Line at a BBQ in Portland? A very awkwardly entertaining interview in front of a gas can (with cigarettes) in a garage. Interviews like these = reasons we heart Yobeat.com Channels: Snow Teasin' Season: "Forever Forum", "How the Northwest Was One", and So "Much Welcome to another installment of Teasin' Season- where we waste time searching the internet for this year's best snowboarding and skiing movie trailers so you don't have to. The movies are set to drop in September, but the filmers are leaking shots now. "How the Northwest Was One" This first trailer may be the most genius we've seen yet. Yeah, you may not have heard of many of the riders featured in the "How the Northwest Was One" teaser- but watching them play chicken with a train to get the shot (in HD) on a railroad guardrail totally makes up for the lack of big name riders. These North Westerners have balls of steel and tricks to back up their manhood. Watch the teaser and enter the world of 2012 "where the snowboard industry is non-existent, riders fight each other to survive, and bounty filmers seek out the most notorious posse of snowboarding outlaws in the Northwest with a will to obtain the best shots... that will be paid for in blood." The guy doing the announcing is classic. "Forum Forever" For the sixth year Forum Snowboards is releasing their team inspired video "Forum Forever". Besides the expected progression of the riders and the quiet disappearance of ex-Forum rider Travis Kennedy, things haven't changed much on the Forum front. Lot's of snowmobiling, powder pushing, double corks and double high-fives from the Jakes' (Blauvelt and Welch), creativity from Peter Line and Eddie Wall, weird hair-do's and wigs from Stevie Bell and John Jackson, and the requisite mix tape of street sessions, backcountry booters and powder slashes from the rest of the gang. Forum consistently comes out with banger video's and, from the looks of this teaser, 2009 will be no different. "So Much To Say" Vaca Films comes out early and strong in the Snowboard Teaser race of 2009, with a surprisingly clean and artsy edit that includes underground riders we don't get to see enough of. (Ben Rice, John Foy, Nick Visconti and Jake Devine- to name a few.) Dolly shots, panorama's of Lake Tahoe and the music of Ghostland Observatory (Song: Sad Sad City) make a nice combination for this Tahoe based crew. And while we're on the topic of Tahoe, did anyone catch this little nugget posted the other week? Broke Back Peter Just a quickie to wish Peter Line a speedy recovery. Thanks to Twitter and Facebook we've been monitoring Peter's status updates. They started out normally enough yesterday late afternoon. "About to hit an icy QP til 3am." Eight hours later his next update: "Stupid Icy QP put me in the hospital. Still not sure of my outcome. Prolly a mellow backbrace for a bit." Followed with this twitpic:  Bummer With his last update five hours after that: "Layed up for 2 months with broken back, good thing is- no brace. Bad thing is- it's a compressed fracture and its made me 1/4 inch shorter." Friends at the scene of the crime (a shoot in Tahoe) say the quarterpipe Peter was sessioning was massive, and he took a pretty big spill. Guess we've all got to pay the piper to play at some point. Here's to healin' up fast and strong Peter. Check out Peter's Online Colon for a good laugh. Maybe he'll be updating it like a maniac now that he's laid up. www.peetard.com Channels: Snow Quote Of The Day "I smoke cigarettes only when I drink. I started as a way to pick up chicks, 'Hey can I bum a cig? So, how ya doin?' It didn't work, all I got was addicted to smoking cigs. I may even drink more now as an excuse to have a smoke. It's funny how the world works." - Peter Line from his website www.peetard.com. He's got all sorts of goodies over there like the sketch above.
