New Wii Game lets you shred the slopes and your competition
Looking for a new Wii game? Why not try Snowboard Riot. This new game features wicked options such as invisibility and turbo speed. Don't you wish you had those on the hill sometimes? You can battle up to 4 players at a time using weapons like rockets and mines to blow away your competition. A neat catch? you can use the Wii balance board to shred the virtual slopes.
You can also design your snowboarders outfit using Oakley brand clothing and accessories. How long before we see FIGJAM in a game...

Achieving the Impossible - a FIGJAM motto
The first time I went snowboarding, like most, I was a complete and utter mess. I had waterskied my whole life and thus skiing in general was easy to pick up. I figured that I could slalom pretty well and that Snowboarding must be sort of similar. Ya, I was wrong. I spent my first day on my ass for a solid 5 hours. I couldn't even go down a hill that required a chair lift. The thought of looking down the mountain plummeting down it at such speeds would surely be the end of me, not to mention everyone around me.
Imagine my surprise when I learned that 27 year old, Adil Latif, had done what I could not have dreamed imaginable, only he is blind. That's right Latif is legally blind. The Scottish native started going blind in his youth and by 15 had lost his eyesight. He had taken up skiing but he couldn't find a coach in Scotland that could teach differently abled people. He then set off for Utah, where there was a coach, Travis Thiele, that was certified to do just that. Now Thiele and Latif compete in snowboarding events around the world and he is set to compete in Canada this year.
It just goes to show you that if you can believe you can acheieve.

FIGJAM Annouces a Canadian Stimulus Package
Toronto and North Vancouver, Canada – FIGJAM Apparel Inc. is a Canadian owned and operated apparel and marketing Company based out of North Vancouver, BC and Toronto, ON. Today FIGJAM announces a Canadian stimulus package for consumers and retailers. FIGJAM has just released new additions to its Spring/Summer 2009 line that is sure to lift spirits, capture an audience and get people feeling good about the times.
Director of Marketing Justin Hanna states “While the action sport industry is as strong as ever, and we’ve actually seen a growing consumer base, we felt that while politicians argue over the release of a pessimistic federal budget, we’d offer retailers and consumers something exciting for a change. We are extremely proud to announce some new additions to the FIGJAM line.”

Meet Cody Shepherd
Hitting the slopes for 4 months with time off school sounds like a dream come true for most 16 year olds and indeed it is for FIGJAM's Cody Shepherd. Shepherd grew up snowboarding in Cold Lake, Alberta where he began shredding slopes at the tender age of 6. Ten years later he is moving to Mt. Avalia to train with professionals and attend homeschooled classes. This is one champion that does not kid around with his training. He was third at the Volcom Peanut Butter Rail Jam and is set to make his debut at the Axis Slopestyle and the Empire Shakedown.
Welcome to the team Cody!
Watch Cody!!
