Well, now that the Olympics are over, it time to get back to writing about every day occurrences in the snowboarding universe that everyone blacked out during the Games. So let's get you updated on whose dating who...

Jake Blauvelt made a bold switch and left Forum and Foursquare. He is now with Ride Snowboards and Oakley apparel. Not too sure on what caused that break up yet.

Some other former Forum riders made new deals also. Eddie Wall hooked up with Bond Outerwear and Weekend Snowboards while Travis Kennedy joined the Tech Nine team - sporting their boards, bindings and outerwear. Going full throttle with that one. Hope it lasts...

Mathieu Crepel (who we just saw boosting the pipe in the Olympics) is back with Gnu snowboards after taking a four year nap. He's a keeper.

The Swiss of a man, Nicolas Muller, made big waves when Nike announced that he'd be joining their team, donning their boots and outerwear. He will however, still be ripping on Burton boards and bindings.

Last but not least, Austin Smith, is also on board the Nike train. He has always been on their boot team but his three year contract with Quiksilver was up, and after an injury, he decided to make this casual relationship into a long term love affair.


That's the gossip folks. Enjoy.
