Personal Awesomeness Report

Watch the Realms, Then Help Japan

Here at CAPiTA Super Corp, we love Japan. You should too! It's a magical place full of wonder, inhabited by the kindest humans you will ever meet. (The above snow monkeys aren't too kind, mind you....) Needless to say, we have been heartbroken by the recent events. Our thoughts continue to go out to those affected.
If you'd like to help, please click on over to the Snowboard Realms site. TJ created a limited run of shirts with partial proceeds going to the Mercy Corps, who are helping folks displaced by the disaster.

Japan Blast 2011

double skull blast

Small crew headed to Japan for a quick Slope contest tickle, then a handful of days in Nozawa & Hakuba. Full weather range experienced, from springlike to pow and back again in a matter of days. As always, onsen soakings and good food abounded. As did yabai times with good friends both new and old. Thanks to JT and the whole CPI crew! As well to Yuta (both of 'em), Shibu-san, Endo and NW Katfish! Onsen balls for life.

Stay tuned to the Snowboard Realms for the latest happenings in the world of CAPiTA.

 

HELL YEAH, HELI...!

Movie making is cooking along all over the dang place. Including heli's. Yep,our boys Dustin and Brandon got themselves into some heli time...!
Footage to follow in the upcoming CAPiTA movie, fall 2011.

LIKE A BOSS! DUCT TAPE at LBS for BLUEMONT!

NBD, our boss and faithful leader Mr. Blue Montgomery won himself the bronze duct tape in the Pro Masters division! On his first visit to the LBS, if you can believe that! Not to mention, other CAPiTAlists came through winners as well: Benny Pelligrino with a bronze in mid masters; Jacob Krugmire with a silver in young ams; and Milo Malkoski took silver in the next gen division. TAKING OVER.


FYB = F**K YEA BRISSE!

In case you haven't heard, or you've been on an internet ban, Mr. Daniel J Brisse won an X Games gold medal! Not to mention $50K, as top pick in the inaugural Real Snow Video contest. Congrats Dan!

WHAT A WEEKEND!!!

yep

First, it's SIA week and we are seeing friends new and old, showing the 11/12 line and generally giving people the Personal Awesomeness Coaching that they both need and deserve.

Second, the TWS Rider's Poll Awards, where a certain Ms. Jessica Kimura devoured two awards (Female Video Part of the Year & Reader's Choice) - see photo above. Not sure if you've seen the footage, but it's worth a look as many comedic and happy moments were had. Some of which involved massive double ended tender place insertion devices used as both scarf and boomerang. The former to good result, the latter not so much. Same result - a good time for all!

Then, as if the SIA shakas, dinners and shenanigans are not enough, Mr Daniel Joseph Brisse (w/the help of absinthe films) went and won himself $50,000 at the espn Real Snow event. Yes, you read that correctly - FIFTY THOUSAND. Congrats to Dan, to say the least.

And to top it all off, Dustin is killing it for Snowboarder doing interviews at x games!

WOW.
