Product Review: 2012 Turbine Boardwear

Very psyched to get on the mtn and try out these new threads from the folks at Turbine Boardwear 

After thrash testing the TB products, I'm 100% sold !!! Turbine puts alot of thought in to style and value!!

I have to say that since the Bristol Mountain Freestyle team has switched...we've been getting a ton of positive feedback !!

The Lexington jacket (insulated) offers up more pockets. If your like me and have tons of "widgets" to carry..it's perfect. Plenty of storage space, and a nice handy fold down "pass pocket". In case of a POw-Pow assault there's even a nicely stashed zip out "powder skirt". Hope to get to use this feature more that's for sure!!! ;)

As a coach there's often quite a bit of stand aound time...the Lexingtons insulation if perfect. Excellent warm...plus well placed (easy to operate with gloves) pit zip vents were an added plus on those sunny day half pipe hike sessions.

Removeable (helmet friendly) hood...the weather on the east coast can be so variable, this feature is HUGE. Another nice added touch is the wrist glove sinches. Allows you to rock your glove steezy or practical.

In the pant department we chose the Greenwich. Now this style deff bucks tradition with a fresh looking "jean pant" design. For the team we really felt this was a big deal. Everyone is rocking the plain black pant look. The Greenwich pant offers, front and back zip pockets, velcro front zipper snap. Shredded pant legs are a thing of the past with a nicely tailored rear cuff to avoid "edge shred" I also really like the adjustable inner leg gator, made putting pant on and offer effort free. Warmth is excellent, did'nt really have to bust out any major base layer even on a few of the negative east coast snow seshs. Water repellence...with in reason these pants held up the the dredded east coast "snain" really well. Would I say wear these in a down pour...umm probably not.

If your looking for gear that looks fresh and techy, but will not break the bank...Turbine Board wear is your choice !! Thank you again to the folks at Turbine for all their support of the 2012 Bristol Snowboard Freestyle Team.

Enjoy the snow, hope to see you out on the snow!!!

Balance Bikes...yes they work !!!

When it came to learning how to ride a bike back in the day for myself....I learned the hard way.

Can not count how many times I flipped the bars or wadded myself up. While working as an account manager with Cannondale Bicycle Corp. a few years back I first ran into FirstBIKE.

Really dig thier down to earth focus...plain simple products that deliver. If your a cycling parent or even simply want to get your child riding safely choose FirstBIKE. The other great thing I wanted to point out...there's such a demand for this product it's almost impossible to find them used. A family buys one moves it up through the ranks...them "passes the savings along". Either way please check em' out really cool folks just dialed in the new Facebook page. I encourage you to take sometime an learn more about the benefits of choosing a FirstBIKE product. Well worth your invesment, time , and satisfaction.

Thanks for stopping by to check my blog, be well !!

Fresh perspective on #shred

I'm a huge fan of blog reviews. Always nice not only to read "real person" product insights. You get the good, bad , and sometimes even ugly. Which brings me to the Geeks of Shred!.

Please check out their blog , oh and I even found em on FB as well.

Enjoy the Shred...please feel free to let me know what you think.
