UNION ULTRA BINDING

Damage YoungBlood, Ollie Christopherson rides the Union Binding Company Ultra binding. The Ultra is a surfy, yet versatile binding that offers that 'loose trucks' feeling, while remaining responsive enough to rail turns on hardback. Each component of the Ultra acts as a suspension system for your boots, loading and unloading with each movement - creating a flexible, cushioned ride like no other. 

Be like Ollie, and ride the Union Ultra. 

Available now in men's and women's sizing. $299.99

CAPITA CHILDREN OF THE GNAR

The CAPiTA SNOWBOARDING 'Children Of The Gnar' is the weapon of choice for Damage Inc. YoungBlood Ollie Christopherson. 

The Children Of The Gnar is the perfect board for the 'tween-age' destroyer in your life who is already a better snowboarder than their parents. Its camber profile is based off of Capita's famed 'D.O.A.' line, but features a more forgiving platform that promotes skill-building in young riders. 

Be like Ollie, and make the entire mountain your playground on a Children Of The Gnar. Available now in sizes 137, 141, and 145 - $379.99

Pocket Park Challenge Recap

The Pocket Park Challenge went off yesterday as skaters young and old tore apart the oldest park in Duluth. It was a cloudy day in the 60's, a perfect recipe for everyone involved. A new 40+ "Fedora" division was added this year to join the "Jacket" and "Tie" age groups. Big ups to Girl, Chocolate, Royal, Lakai and Happy Hour for sponsoring the event. Check out the Photos and results below!

Winners from left to right: Carter put together some impressive runs to take home his 4th "Jacket" title, Ollie cruised to his first "Tie" victory and his dad Eric skated solid all day and claimed the "Fedora" division. Josh Kuno took home best trick on the new DIY rail. Nice work dudes!
