Well hello dear friends. I know it has been quite some time since you've heard from One5 Media and for that all I can say is I'm sorry. We have pretty much rapped up things for the mountainboarding season and are enjoying some of the early snowboarding that mother nature has allowed us access to.
We released Shralpdown online for free earlier this summer and the reception we received was amazing. Tons of you downloaded and watched the version online. For those of you that had problems viewing online we uploaded Shralpdown to Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3D2ydncdEA and Vimeo http://vimeo.com/1140131. A hard copy of Shralpdown is now available through MBS. The DVD has tons of bonus sections including behind the scenes sections and director commentary.

We had an amazing season of riding and traveling all over the United States. The year culminated with the IMFI(International Mountainboard Freestyle Invitational) in Colorado Springs, CO. We broke the riders up into two heats and did an open jam qualifying format. From that we picked the top eight and they battled in a head to head format. The riders and crowd enjoyed the change in format and we got to see some incredible riding from each head to head battle. Right out of the gate Matt Silva did a huge frontflip on the first jump to backflip on the second. He really gave Kody Stewart a run for his money but Kody eventually took the heat and the win beating myself in the final round. In the rail jam riders spun on and off of the box and gapped to down on the flat down rail. Matt Silva again pushed the level of mountainboarding by doing a backside 360 to 50-50 backside 180 out on the flat down rail.
Surf the Earth is looking good guys. All the riders have been working hard to top last year’s effort and we couldn’t be happier. Anyway guys we’ll try to keep in touch more frequently. Until then keep on shralpping.
