Engle for president

Everyone is going haywire over the quality of the riding at the Air and Style, but I’d like to draw your attention another way. At the Onboard editorial meeting last week I had the privilege to watch the latest production from Think Thank called Patchwork Patterns. To be absolutely honest, it’s the first snowboard movie in several years I have bothered to watch more than once. I’ve been screening it every day since I first saw it. It’s hilarious. Perhaps not the most amazing when it comes to backcountry kickers, but if you want to see original tricks, jibs and characters, this one is a must. And the last part with Gus Engle cracks me up every time I watch it. I just hope not all kids will try and emulate his style, because there is only one Gus Engle. I'm off to Kittelfjall (where it's dumping) with Niklas Bystrom, Jonas Gustafsson and Hans Ahlund. Tata / Peter
