RDA busca fomentar el desarrollo del deporte de acción en Argentina y promover la participación en estos deportes por todo el país sin importar el sexo, procedencia, etc uniendo a todos ellos en una noche única.

Great documentary done on Spanish Rider Iker Fernandez...

What I found interesting is the way English and Spanish are presented in a seamless fashion. Talking about a snowboard lifestyle remix here. This is the type of digital content that will become increasingly relevant in the U.S. multicultural market.

Iker's story is awesome is because it reminds us that creative, snowboard talent can come from anywhere...

A finales de verano ya os informamos que la productora argentina BQP estaba preparando un documental sobre nuestro rider más reconocido, Iker Fernández. Ahora justo antes de acabar el año ese documental ve la luz y nos hace un repaso de la trayectoria de este rider que ha llegado a lo mas alto del snowboard y que sigue ahí andando fuerte.

Cross cultural digital content continues to evolve and disseminate at higher rate and with better quality...

Nuestro rider Pepe Sanchez estuvo en Argentina durante nuestro verano. Asi aprovechó para estar en su casa y de paso producir un poco. Para empezar nos ha traido este clip para el engorile de pre temporada.

Here's how Burton Argentina finished out the southern hemisphere's 2011 winter...

Como despedida de la temporada el Burton Demo Tour viajó a La Hoya para la octava edición de la Freesession. Los muchachos del park diseñaron un setup perfecto para probar las nuevas tablas y fijaciones que trae Burton el año que viene. Chequeate el video!

Orale...

Marc Frank Montoya has been ruling the urban snowboard scene for so long, it seems like he should be 102, hanging out in an old folks home somewhere talking about how good things used to be "back in the day." Instead he's still out in the streets and in the mountains, killing it with his FODT crew, making movies that will have your mouth hanging open -- as much for the riding as the shock of wondering how these guys get away with doing it in some of the places they do.

Another digital tool has emerged that will enable the snow industry to attract and retain a new pool of riders...

TTR Snowboarding has a brand-new, free App for the iPhone and iPad. The App gives you access to rider profiles and rankings as well as a look at all the current contenders for the TTR World Tour Overall, Halfpipe, Slopestyle, and Big Air titles. Head over to the iTunes App Store to download it for free.

Very interesting to see L.A. urban architectural features making an appearance at the local hill. Gotta think its a small, but, significant act to connect with the urban audience of SoCal. AgaSoin, skate bleeds into snow.

Mountain High is proud to announce four new “Los Angeles Features” which will be introduced to their terrain park for the 2011/12 winter season. The Concert Hall Handrail is the first of the four features to be completed. This massive down-flat-down staircase handrail combo is an exact replica of this iconic concert hall rail in Los Angeles and will be a centerpiece of Mountain High’s terrain park this coming season.

Yeah, yeah...I know the splitboard market is pretty small, but its another awesome example of some Spanish-language digital content that if directed properly has the opportunity to engage with the market in innovative ways. This stuff will move through social networks before any mainstream media outlet will tap into it...

Les presentamos un nuevo podcast de Rip Curl, esta vez Juan Beveraggi nos muestra su Splitboard!!!

Via Bad Quality

Once again culturally relevant digital snowboard content finds its way into my social news feed...via BQP 

What we have here is a story that's not being directed at the right audience in in the best possible way. This will probably never see much exposure in broader Spanish language media.

Iker Fernandez rips and his experiences with the sport. Talk about generating a cross-cultural appeal to the mainstream U.S.

Les presentamos el avance de nuestra ultima producción: SAIKO The Iker Fernandez Documentary. si hay alguien que se merece un documental en españa, ese es Iker. Estuvo presente en 3 olimpiadas, de las cuales fue abanderado de españa en 2002; filmo con las mejores productoras de snowboard y actualmente nos demuestra que sigue rideando a un nivel altisimo. saldrá en DVD en el Catalogo de Surfer rule de noviembre y en diciembre estara online para ver y descargar en varios sitios.

Wonder if Olivier Francoise should be identifying and targeting opportunities for Fiat to share under the radar advertising/marketing content in the U.S. market?

The rally like driving would have been a lot more appealing to football fans than J-Lo car chase...probably a lot less expensive too. Hope this wasn't a veiled attempt to tap into the NFL's strong interest in the Hispanic market.
