Can't wait for it this year! Though it seems like the show is getting smaller and smaller every year...

Slaughterhouse

No doubt! They did have a pretty neat sale on Gnu Carbon High Beams though. The bonus tickets were pretty skimpy too. I've just got a bunch of stuff I need to sell there, so I'm committed!

I think we need a reporter there for this! Anyone interested in heading up an editorial team here? Heck take a camera with you and maybe I can post the video!

Any takers?

I'm gonna try and head out. There's been some interesting rumblings going on in the snow community here...

Slaughterhouse

Well, I'll see what I can do in terms of coverage and pictures but it should really be quite similar to other ski and snowboard shows. Last years was kind of interesting as they had an INDOOR box and rail session. I'm certainly no reporter though, lol.

I spent 15 years behind a mic in radio and spent time editting a major PC/tech online mag or two. So, I know what I'm talking about here. You don't need to be pro to report online. Video is the best way to go. This means you don't have to worry about writing the feature and all you need for most sites is a 90 segment.

I'm not trying to recruit anyone here...I just saw an opportunity to let you all know that you don't need to be a star to produce amazing reports that people will love. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Real people (who know their sport) who show their enthusiasm and wonked out hyper focus on the products; make the best web content hands down in my books.

Anytime, you folks need some help with this kind of thing just say so -- I'm happy to advise, coach or edit. Keeping in mind that anything we do still has to get the CTO's stamp before being implemented.

Regards,

Well, like I said, I'm gonna try and head out, if I do, I'll take the camera, but we'll have to see what goes on with school and everything.

Slaughterhouse

I'll do the same. It should be a pretty good chill-out day! That indoor rail session was pretty neat but REALLY sketchy for the riders. Should make some good footage if they do it again this year.
