Here is chapter 3 in all its glory. Theres some serious speed on display in this chapter. From giant punts, to occy-esque speed arcs, to gaping second reef pipe, its very obvious that mr. Fletcher does not have brakes. Enjoy....

If you're in the LA area you should come check out the mini-ramp on the roof of the Hollywood Burton store being destroyed in an end of summer shred fest. There's going to be BBQing, drinking and coping killing all going down on a beautiful Sunday Funday in Hollywood. I can't think of a better way to spend the day. Therefore, I will for sure be there, and I will doubly for sure have my beer goggles on. So, if you're a girl, and you're only a 6, or a 7, you're going to be an 8, or a 9 in my eyes. Fuck, if you're a 9, or a 10, I'll probably take you with me to Vegas and marry you.

Ol' Man Winter is just around the corner and in honor of his imminent return the peeps over at Analog have cooked up a creative contest to get you thinking about all the fun you're going to have shredding the gnar this season.

Here's what you need to know about the "Design Unlikely Features" contest to get you fired up and put on your thinking cap.

• Create a unique, custom built jib feature.
• It can be anything. Come up with a totally new idea, or build off something that already exists.
  
• Draw it by hand. Create it on a computer. Sketch it onto a napkin. Hell, build it out of popsicle sticks and Elmer's if that's the way you do things. Just get your idea out of your head and...
• Mail it to Analog
• If you are one of those "forward thinking types" you can email it to Designunlikelyfeatures@analogclothing.com
• OR you can snail mail it to: Design Unlikely Features Contest, Analog Clothing, 8659 Research Drive, Suite 100, Irvine CA, 92618

Ok and this is important: "Entries will be judged based on creativity, rideability, and buildability. We are looking for something fresh and imaginative, and that is also movable."

So yeah but why? Why take the time to send in scribbled-on cocktail napkins to some (possibly hot) secretary at some industrial neighborhood office building?

Because you can win some cool shit, that's why.

Grand prize winner gets the most balling'est trip ever to be there in person when their winning feature is built for a contest on January 9th, 2010. (No pressure for you to compete... you can just sit back and watch the homies tear it up on your design... Or you can compete. Your call.) You get:

• 2 Round Trip tickets to/from Big Bear
• 2 Nights Lodgind at Big Bear Mountain Resorts
• Custom built snow feature at Big Bear Mountain (oh snap!)
• (An entire) Contest centered around your creation
• Analog Outerwear Kit (Gloves, Jacket, Pants)
• Analog Clothing Package (Jeans, beanie, t-shirt, flannel, fleece, backpack and belt.)

So, other stuff you should know is that twice a month from now until the contest winner is picked Analog will showcase the top 5 designs on Analogclothing.com and over at Transworldsnowboarding.com. Then, from November 10th to the 20th YOU GUYS get to go and vote on the winner. (You never know if there will be a loophole with these kinds of voting contest, maybe your design will make it to the vote and you can sit there and vote for yourself a million times. Probably not.)

Oh and if you and your design make it in one of the top five showcased spots at any time you get a Transworld and Analog swag package just for being a top entry.

If you are seriously thinking of doing this... (You should. It sounds cool.) jump over to Analogclothing.com. They've got the official rules and regulations and more info.

Good luck y'all.

Your good friends over at Analog have done something incredible, folks. They've captured Nathan Fletcher. I don't mean 'captured' in the 'episode of COPS' sense, but the other way. The 'on film' way. Im actually not sure which method of capture would be harder, when you're talking about Nate Fletcher. He's an elusive dude, to say the least. It must have been a nightmare to track him down and film his Hunter S. Thompson-esque surf adventures. I'd imagine that a tiger trap would be your best bet for successful capture. You know, dig a large pit, cover it in leaves, and wait for prey to fall in. Speaking from experience, camouflaging the trap is argueably the most important element of the plan, especially when you just dug a hole in Megan Fox's front lawn. Dead leaves work well, but be creative and use your surroundings. The second most important element is the bait. Once again speaking from experience, the odds of this person/wild animal just happening to walk into your carefully laid trap are usually quite slim. Bait is a good idea, unless you have a couple days to kill, and really enjoy sitting in trees. A torn up restraining order soaked in tears seems to make the best bait, in my experiences. Which brings me to my next... wait.... uhh.. what are we talking about again? Oh yeah. The Analog movie.The movie is so f*cking sick. It opens with Nate getting clipped at backdoor, then taking a bomber set on the head. Having grown up in Hawaii, i can honestly say i've never been more terrified while surfing, than getting caught inside at backdoor. Its so shallow, there's no channel, bombs from OTW double up and just rape the hell out of you. I'd rather call Kala a sissy, to his face, than get cleaned out at backdoor again. Actually, nevermind, i take that back. Anywhooo, there are some crazy punts and gaping pits that you'd expect from Nate, and its all shot and edited together very well. The music is dope. In fact, just watch it. Here's chapter 1. More to come...
