Burton’s official uniform pant for the U.S. Snowboarding Team at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics will be available at Hollyloft Ski & Bike, Fall 2010!

You asked for it and Burton came through! This will be a limited production pant! You will not see this in next year’s Burton catalog.

We will be getting 2 of each size for men’s and women’s and they are already goin fast!

Pants are $250/pair!   To pre order  call us at 716-483-2330 or email at info@hollyloft.com

“The inspiration behind the U.S. Snowboarding Team outerwear for the 2010 Olympics is classic Americana,” says Greg Dacyshyn, Senior Vice President of Creative at Burton. “Although we are creating a uniform, our first objective is to express the individuality of snowboarding.  As such, we are taking vintage American looks and interpreting them in a very unique and unexpected fashion. Finally, we will ensure that all of the highest technical attributes are maintained in the pieces, so that performance and function are not jeopardized.  The result will be a progressive and fresh look that challenges the former conservatism of the Olympics.”

Burton builds on its long-standing relationship with W. L. Gore & Associates by partnering with the company and leveraging the performance benefits of GORE-TEX® fabric, the official fabric of the 2010 U.S. Snowboarding Team’s Olympic outerwear.

NOTE: THESE PANTS ARE NOT REAL DENIM! THEY ARE A SUBLIMATED LIFE LIKE DENIM PRINT!

Ride Snowboards releases the second of three Artist Series boards, the DH 2.2, featuring artwork from world-renowned artist, Art Chantry. Raised in Tacoma, Washington, Art Chantry worked in Seattle for nearly three decades. Over the years he managed to produce a body of work that rivals some of the best graphic design in the world. With a slew of design awards under his belt, his work has made an impression on the world and has been exhibited by some of the most prestigious museums and galleries: the Louvre, The Smithsonian, and even the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! With strong roots that took hold in the Seattle underground music scene back in the early 1990’s, Chantry carved out a style all his own that extended through work with the local alternative newsweekly, The Rocket, and then extended to the fledgling record label, Sub Pop. Art’s unorthodox style and monumental achievements have made him a legend in the world of design.

Today Art’s hard-edge scrappy look can be seen everywhere from punk rock record covers to corporate annual reports…and now on snowboards. Ride is proud to partner with the fellow northwest native on the new DH 2.2. Click Here to visit Art’s bio page.



The DH 2.2 will hit select stores November 1st and availability is limited, so get one before it’s too late! Check out authorized retailers near you.

Each DH2 board in the series features distinctive work from influential artists and include Ride’s most innovative board technologies. Look for the final board in the series, the DH 2.3, to be revealed on November 15th, available in select stores December 1st. Keep your eyes on the DH 2.3 countdown on the DH2 Limited page, and be sure to check out the DH 2.1 featuring Michael J. Zepeda III along with artist videos, bios and full product details.

The DH2 series features Ride’s new LowRize™ rocker profile with LowRize™ specific sidecut, built to lock in landings and eliminate hook. This twin also combines our exclusive Membrain™ top sheet, Pop Stixs™ and 85A Slimewalls® for a one of kind freestyle Ride ideal for going big.
