They just do things bigger in Jackson Hole. Throw Travis Rice and Todd Richards into the mix... together... and anything can happen.

Well, I guess we'll see about that. I almost didn't think they could get any better, but they are claiming it pretty big-time over at Quiksilver. Apparently its time for Season Two... and look, they even made a trailer for it!



But yes, if you haven't caught on yet, the Todcasts are amazingly funny, and they aren't ALL about snowboarding. (As you'll see from the cameo's in the first episode below. Tony Hawk, what?!? Bruce Irons, what?!?! Ken Block, what?!?) Although it sure looks like Quik is gearing it up to make sure each of their pro-snowboarders gets a character part in at least one of the "megacasts" they promise to grace us with at the beginning of each month. This means we get to look forward to hanging out with the likes of Travis Rice, Austin Smith, Bryan Fox, and Louie Fontain. Or more like, Todd gets to hang out with those guys, and we get to watch the hilarity that ensues.

Oh Todcast, you've gotten us all riled up! Now its time to deliver!



Catch up on last season over at the Quicksilver blog. Todcast Tuesdays.

Travis Rice and Bluebird gave away a butt-load of free stuff. And not just like some t-shirts and stickers... good free stuff. Like brand new Lib-tech snowboards, next years Quiksilver Outerwear, a brand new Red Bull PSP, and apparently a slightly used Bluebird Bus. (We're still trying to figure that one out.)

If you did enter, watch the video to hear Travis draw your name out of the bucket and butcher it. Or maybe you are one of the guys that almost won (unfortunately, and this is a little known fact, T.Rice is a bit of a pyro and lit some of the entries on fire). You'll never know unless you scope this video out.

Plus, some lost shred footage of Travis from god-knows-where. Yeah, bonus.

Talk about a d*ck tease. It's the middle of July, 90 plus degrees and humid outside, and Absinthe Films chooses now to drop the teaser for the 2009 fall release of their new movie "Neverland".

Chock-full of face shots, white-rooms and bangers, (that accidentally came out sounding like a promo for a porn movie) I think it's safe to say this trailer is here to taunt and tantalize us (still on that porn note...) while we soak up the wife-beaters we're wearing with our own sweat (jeez). That's ok though, with a trailer this good, we'll suffer through it. (really? Honestly, there were the best intentions to keep that clean.)

Enjoy. And remember... we're past the halfway mark of summer. You'll be on snow again in no time. (See that was clean.)

In 1997 some of you probably weren't even born yet, but this is what us old-farts had for shred porn.

No one had heard of Shaun White, or Danny Kass, or freshly cut 22 foot halfpipes. The idea of using a helicopter to film snowboarding was ridiculous. Travis Rice was just an annoying grom that followed the Jackson Hole Bluebird crew around town trying to fit in.

In 1997 Lance Pitman, Willie Mcmillon and Bryan Iguchi were IT. Every pro-ho in a resort town had a poster of Brandon Ruff on their wall. They were the playboys of snowboarding, pioneering a cushy path to rockstar status for all of the over-saturated sponsored riders of today.

Tip your hat, poor one out and pay your respects. This video is your history lesson for today.
