In the Spring of this year Danny teamed up with Mountain Dew and Burton to build a one-of-a-kind pipe / park hybrid like nothing we’ve ever seen before. Snow Park Technologies crafted the pipe and topped it off with a channel, wall ride, volcano, C boxes, and rails built in. Built in Northstar this past May, Danny opened up the pipe to nine friends including Jack Mitrani, Kevin Pearce, Terje Haakonsen, Mikkel Bang, Mark McMorris, Christian Haller, Pat Moore, and Austen Sweetin for a day of shredding and grilling.
Mountain Dew and Burton Snowboards have announced that they are partnering up through Danny Davis to produce some sustainable t-shirts through the Green Mountain Project. The shirts look cool and are made from 50% recycled Mountain Dew bottles and 50% organic cotton. The only downside is that some kid has to drink the soda to make the bottle empty to be recycled. The shirts are available now exclusively at Burton flagship stores in the US. Check out full styles after the jump.
We brought you the behind the scenes story on the opening of the sick new Burton Stash at Jackson Hole in Wyoming, now take a look at the rad edit featuring Danny Davis, Stephan Maurer, Natasza Zurek, and Gabi Viteri.
Mountain Dew just dropped another webisode starring Danny Davis, although this one actually stars Danny’s truck, Jason. Get the story on why his truck is named Jason and other nuances of Truckee living right here.
If you’ve seen Danny Davis on the hill this year you know two things, 1. The kid is back and 2. He’s got a sick lock up with his wood grain and denim Frends Alli headphones and Dragon Rogue goggles. The kit is more than a one-off and will actually be sold as a combo pack at select retailers beginning in late summer. More looks at the pack after the jump.
Snowboarding is about to get a lot more interesting. The Frends crew got a big writeup in the New York Times this weekend and Kevin Pearce and Mason Aguirre finally said what everyone had figured: the Frends ain’t friends with Shaun White. Pearce goes all in, “I feel the last couple years, Shaun has kind of dominated snowboarding. I think that people are getting sick of it, and they’re getting sick of seeing him.” Is it really beef or well executed pre Olympic hype? We’ll have to wait and see. Read the entire story here.
