One of the most original events in snowboarding and art is coming to Portland. I AM SNOWBOARDING, a collaborative art project in honor of Jeff Anderson, opens at the NEMO gallery (1875 SE Belmont), on Friday, January 8. The opening party is slated from 6-10pm and will feature collaborative art from snowboard photographers and artists, music from Kandi Coded and DJ Joelskool, raffles from the sponsors (Volcom, Vans, Lib Tech, etc.) and if that wasn't enough, Terry Kidwell will be on hand showing off some of his original snowboards soon to be put up for auction.

Are you ready for a little early season shred racing? No speed suits, no wax techs, no pee testing, just full-on fun, ripping downhill fun for a good cause. Get down to the 3rd Annual Dirksen Derby on December 13 at Mt. Bachelor.

Portland, OR (October 24, 2009) - Haven't seen How the Northwest Was One yet? In or near Portland? Enjoy free beer, hip hop music and/or skateboarding in faux drained swimming pools? Well hot foot it down to Epic Snowboards at 2318 NW Vaughn St. at 8 tonight for a shindig to rival all others. Wildcard's supplying the shred, Pyramid's supplying the suds (if you're legal) and Sandpeople are supplying the beats. Bring your skate and get rowdy for prizes afterward or just show up and chill out. That's 8pm, Epic Snowboards, Portland. Be there!
