GME in the media!

What’s up G-World? We did not have much to report on due to the weird ass weather during November and December, but now the pow has come and things are a’happenin’!

First, you may have seen the recent write-ups/interviews in Method Mag (if not, see here) and from our friends at Steez Magazine (read now).

In addition to all this excitement, our buddies over at Mondo Mediaworks threw together THE ORIGINAL “Shit Snowboarders Say” video which made waves on YoBeat and Tactics.  If you haven’t seen that, please please watch now!  Team rider Casey Willax did a bang up job in his first acting gig.

And, if all that is not good enough for your online snow predators, than take a look at this  edit from Dub Show Productions featuring said rider CDub and partner in pow BDub…we know, too much Dub for one sentence.  Hot little number from the first pow days at Carinthia, Mount Snow…check it

That’s it for now folks, but with Dew Tour Killington upon us and SIA after that, expect some further antics in the near future. G-UNNNIITTT!Shit Snowboarders Say

Groms pushing the limits

As a follow up to our blog about the G(rom)-Unit team, we have received a number of inquiries from youngbloods looking to join the GME squad. We are stoked on the letters, stills and edits rolling in from young shredders across this great nation of ours, and are truly humbled by the enthusiasm and support of the brand.  Over the next few months we will get rider bios, photos and edits up on the website, but we had to give a big shot out to one of our favorite groms, Annabella Polizzi.  Coming out of the Pacific Northwest school of shred, this girl straight puts it down (check her out here where she placed second at the Greenhorn Games at Snoqualmie last March…nice feature in Snowboarder Mag).  What really impresses us about Bella is not only the dedication to her individual progression on the hill – at 12 years old, she’s currently banging out front and back flips…no big deal – but the desire she has to increase the number of female riders as well.  Much like GME, Bella believes that snowboarding is more than a sport.  It’s a lifestyle that transcends across all people; no matter your age, where your from, gender, whatever! And we LOVE that about this kid! Bella, be on the lookout for your GME swag coming soon and thank you for sharing.  We hope everyone takes this fierce approach to the industry and continues to ELEVATE the game!

G-g-g-g-G-UNIT! Join us…

Team Rider Jeff DeForge Takes Second in SFC’s Early Bird Rail Jam

Sure it’s a bit premature for big air comps, but rail jams never sleep.  GME-rider Jeff DeForge busted out his early season steezy to take second at SFC’s Early Bird Rail Jam in Denver last week!  Check out the short edit, as Jeff rips his Demigod to the #2 spot (1:25).  The GME team has some crazy ideas brewing for this season with Ian Post and Jeff rumored to be embarking upon an epic cross country journey in search of the best freshness.  Rider Casey Willax will be back and forth between the Ice and West Coast laying it down true to his big air roots, and lookout for the owners to pop up in a city near you…who knows maybe you’ll walk away with a new shred stick!

GME wants to know… WHERE DO YOU RIDE?

What do snowboard designers do during the off months?? Well for GME there are no off months! We have been busy working on our softgoods! We have recently set up an in house screen printing station where Tori our lead designer can put all her ideas and designs directly onto t-shirts, hoodies and posters. The newest product we have come out with is the I RIDE T-SHIRT! This shirt is hand printed by Tori. Now that we are able to change it up when we want, we want to know where all of our fans, followers and riders spend their winters shredding!

WHERE DO YOU RIDE?

You can order a custom hand printed Tee with the color text and color tee of your choice, and you can chose whichever state that you ride in!

You will soon be seeing our team riders out in Oregon wearing the I ride OR shirt in upcoming edits! Be on the look to see who shreds in what states and you definitely can’t miss spotting these shirts with some of the bright colors we are using!

You can Pre Order these T Shirts now by contacting us on the website at www.gmelevate.com or by writing us on facebook. Just let us know the size and color you would like and of course… WHAT STATE YOU RIDE!
