FFFIIIIIYYYYYAAAAA


Sour hits the snow again with all new HIGH intensity levels. Hopefully you enjoy a new editing twist with the same sour riders you know and love!

First Pow of the Season

The first day after moving to California, Sour Steezle riders Kelsey Rowe and Max Lindsey laid claim to the first Sour tracks of the season on October 6!! We had a few Go Pro formatting issues so we didn't get many shots, but we ran into fellow Gunnyite, Blake, and had a grand ole time playing in the powdur!

Morning Cottonwood.

Colin, Max and Mikey headed up to Cottonwood Pass to shred the 7 miles of down hill pavement. This run took about a half hour to complete and consisted of over 2,100ft of vertical. Enough shreddage to give any ripper a case of the morning cottonwood. Sit back and enjoy the ride, I know we did!

Sours turning heads on Blue Mesa.

The Summer is winding down witch means the Sour Crew is getting geared up for another Epic Winter! The riders of Sour Steezle have been killing it all summer long on there longboards, wakeboards, hydrofoils, bikes, dirtbikes and even their barefeet. Props to Mikey, Matt Byrne, Dave Sugnet, Dane Vanderwall, and Mark Mikos for skiing every month of the summer if not more. Two Sour Steezlelets, Scott and Matty C got an epic kiteboarding session in yesterday thats definitely blog worthy. The wind was howling like Michele Jackson on high elevation blue mesa lake.

Scotty catching some nice air on the Mesa.

Hang Loose till next time.

P.S folks... Two great videos in the works. The Rest is History Sour Steezle Movie, and the season wrap up of the Western State Freeride Team, dropping by snowfall.

P.P.S. Look for Epic GoPro footage of Cottonwood Pass Longboarding this weekend!

Summer Time Sliding with Sour

Sour is still alive and kickin'. Sorry about the delay and lack of up keep but most of us have been busy shredding, studying, graduating, or some sort of ing... But, we havent forgotten about our loyal viewers so here is a video to keep everyone stoked on any form of sliding whether it be on snow, water, pavement, dirt, or air. Keep on sliding!

Blue Skies, Sunshine, and Some Nice Pow

March is here and so are the blue skies and sunshine. With powder on the mind Sour has been making every effort to get after the great conditions. Over two feet of fresh powder snow fell in the backcountry this week. Sour took advantage of the new snow and stacked up a couple shots for next years movie. Here's a few pics of what the boys have been up to.

The Rest is History Teaser

Props to Dillion Blodgett for capturing these truly magnificent Photographs and Zach Ostrander for doing a great job on this years park! It's better than Chuckie Cheese.

Pillows, Cliffs, and Other Mid Season Madness

Sour heads out and get after some epic lines in some epic conditions.

Barefootin Sour Style

Barefooting requires the skier to travel at higher speeds, speed can be approximated by the following formula: skier weigh / 10 + 25. We never used the formula on high elevation Blue Mesa Lake, at 7,519 the little 1992 ski boat had to be held wide open to achieve Barefooting speeds. Turn up the beat and watch the carnage as the Boyz Progress their Barefooting skills..

Jackson Hole Freeskiing World Tour

The Western State Freeskiing Team traveled ‎1120 miles, 21 hours 54 minutes, 10 people, in 1 van, 1 chance to stomp it. Be ready for some pole whacking action, because the team ripped it up! Congratulations to Mark Mikos for Placing 4th overall and pre qualifying himself for the rest of the tour!

Blowing Lines of Powder

Staying true to their new years resolutions, Sour Steezle has been heading into the backcountry to knock out a few lines on their seemingly endless list. Here's a few of the highlights...

Sour Steezle Presents "Hit That"

Abusing the land by building illegal structures is against the law, please respect the land! Here's the full length film of our 2009-2010 season shot on location at Crested Butte, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek, and in the BC. Sorry for the delay! Keep following the blog for season edits and updates on what we're up to! We look forward to seeing everyone on the hill!

ENJOY!

If you don't do it this year...
