Fresh from Antarctica, GWAR stopped by Bend OR last week to push presidential candidate Sleazy P. Martini and battle other politicians for the Frank Sinatra Belt of World Domination. As an added bonus, K2 Snowboards sponsored the MDP premier of Down With People before GWAR took stage.
WORLD’S TOP SNOWBOARDERS SHAUN WHITE AND HANNAH TETER LEAD IMPRESSIVE LIST OF ATHLETES COMPETING ON WINTER DEW TOUR
Winter Dew Tour to Kick Off Dec 18 at Breckenridge Resort in Colorado
NEW YORK – November 12, 2008 – The Winter Dew Tour today announced the world’s top snowboard athletes that will compete for the coveted Dew Cup and a share of the $1.5 million prize purse offered at the end of the three-stop series, which will kick off December 18 in Breckenridge, Colo.
The athlete roster reads like the who’s who of professional snowboarding, highlighted by multiple X Games and Olympic medalists including Shaun White, Hannah Teter, Andreas Wiig, Travis Rice and Gretchen Bleiler.
“I feel like the Dew Tour is gonna be huge and I’m really looking forward to riding on the entire series this year,” said Teter. “The roster of athletes that will be competing on the Winter Dew Tour is sick. It’ll be a fun battle to see who comes away with Dew Cup at the end of the season.”
White, who’s competed in skateboard vert on the Summer Dew Tour, will be the first Summer crossover athlete. White was the Dew Tour season points leader for skateboard vert in 2007, and was awarded the coveted Dew Cup for his efforts. After successful Summer season’s, White will compete in the superpipe discipline on the Winter Dew Tour. The 22-year-old from Carlsbad, Calif. has been a force to be reckoned with in competitive snowboarding since the tender age of 14.

That is right, on November 13th via Antarctica the scumdogs of the universe GWAR will be descending in on Bend, Oregon with a live performance at the premiere of Mack Dawg Productions new snowboard film Down With People Presented by K2 Snowboarding and Catapult Productions.
It’s election year again, and GWAR has captured our favorite politicians in between the senseless debates to take them on a bloody ride, and a craptacular mashup of a tour. Sleazy P Martini (GWAR Manager) has even come out of semi - retirement of managing the entire porn industry to make sure that this will be the squarest test of American presidential metal he can rig. Clinton and Obama are sure to be to be tortured at the hands of Oderus and Bone Snapper, and McCain mcskinned. All three candidates will be forced to prove their Presidential chops in the wrestling arena. Yes, all three candidates are on a fight card that also includes Bozo Destructo and Sawborg Destructo in an all out tag team match vs. GWAR. It’s rumored that GWAR may put hometown snowboarders and Down With People shredders Austin Smith and Curtis Ciszek on the fight card as well.
Danger Ehren of MTV’s Jackass will join in and host the show. Here Danger Ehren will be getting bonkers, hitting unsuspecting audience members upside the cranium with loads of product from our sponsors. Also performing is Kingdom Of Sorrow, featuring Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed/Host of MTV’s Head Bangers Ball, along with members of Crowbar and Portland Oregon’s Toxic Holocaust is set to rip open the show and get the party started.
Do not miss the bloodbath! Steal your parent’s credit card, pawn your brothers Kirby Pucket rookie card and make it to Bend, Oregon for one of the best snowboard premieres in the nation.

The TWS Good Wood Test has been around for Ten years and has become an industry standard of some of the hottest picks for the year. If a range of experienced riders are giving them the seal of approval, you might want to check em out. More legit than ever. The tenth annual test took place in the perfectly-groomed Parklane Park at Breckenridge, Colorado. 45 Boards passed the test. Complete results are in the issue.
Transworld Snowboarding devised the Good Wood board test to help determine which freestyle board (or boards) perform the best. Now in its tenth year, the annual assessment has become the definitive board test in the biz. These results are worthy of your trust. They use more than two-dozen testers to put multiple boards from 25 brands through the rigors. They should call it “hard work,” but that sounds horribly pretentious. Sure, the days were long, and there was a lot of paperwork involved, but it’s a labor of love and one that every rider is happy to be a part of.
