Atomic Surf Wax Crayon

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Atomic Surf Wax is made for the guys who wear Mickey Mouse ties to work and Keds with their suits. Rubbing it on your board is like saying, “Well, if I’m going to have to use wax, it may as well be wacky!” It’s normal wax except for the four fluoro colors that help identify you as a guy to avoid in the lineup.

686 Levis Gloves for 2009/10

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Herringbone denim from Levis might be the next eccentric thing besides wrapping your hands in cat bladders. 686 has some Levi-branded snowboard stuff coming out next year, but it’ll be tough to match your ridin’ jeans since the pant-maker doesn’t have any incredibly tight yet baggy girl’s jeans with herringbone and a double set of buttons. Transworld also has a look at gloves from 18 other manufacturers for next season.

Finally, a reason to go to Oklahoma City: Wack-Phat-Crazy Urban Climbing

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

If the National Softball Hall of Fame isn’t enough to lure you to OKC, maybe the Rocktown Climbing Gym will be. The gym boasts indoor routes as long as 90ft, as well as outdoor routes with bolted holds and a few routes with real glued-on rock holds. Below is a shot of the gym’s president, Aaron Gibson, on his 140ft lead route, Exodus, on the Southwest corner of the silo. The grips are chipped out of the concrete for a super solid, classic 5.9+ route. The route overlooks the city, and the city gets a nice view of you. So don’t screw up.

WetFire Tinder Great for Viking Funerals

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

wetfire

You can float this fire starter through the hot tub when it’s time to light some cigars on a bromantic night. WetFire Tinder is a compact, odorless fire starter that’s unaffected by wind and water. It burns at 1300F and looks a lot like a cotton ball covered in Vaseline.
