Check out Summit Boardshop on December, 5th from 7pm-11pm.  There will be a sale, fashion show, skate session and an invite only rail jam.  Ten percent of all sale proceeds go to Boarding For Breast Cancer.

Summit Boardshop has been making moves on all fronts lately.  With their skatepark opening last weekend and the snowpark looking more fun then ever it’s about time you made your way over there to check it out!  Today’s post is a reminder for the first of many Summit Pro/Am qualifier events that are going down at a slopeside near you.  Check the flyer for more details as well as a sneak peak at the fresh jibs they will have for you to get busy on!

Three Quarters of the Midwest Represent crew (Jay, Mindy and myself) will be present for this weekends Minnesota Ski and Snowboard Expo at the Minneapolis Convention Center.  Stop by the show to scope out the latest Burton product at the Hoigaards booth or scoop up on season pass and ticket deals from local area resorts!

That’s right, folks…snowboarding is right around the corner and we have a great series of demos lined up for the year. Scope the flyer for details and click this link to register for any JIB contests that you can make it to.

Ladies and Germs, listen up!  Freestyle of Duluth has been throwing some epic video premieres over the last few years.  I know this because I’ve been there!  This years will be no slouch, either.  Great music, epic videos, product tosses and refreshing brews will no doubt make for a great night.  Check out the flyer for more deets and be sure to pencil that date in your calender!

This title is fitting for a Halloween post on Midwest Represent.

Friend and family of MWR, Joaquin (Frank) Verges, is hosting a photo gallery at Rodan in Wicker Park.  Stop by Sunday, November 8th to see a collection boasting some of his best work.  Whether you know him or not, I suggest you stop by. Chances are you’ll see a Chicago homey or two…

…It is sure to be a frighteningly good time if you live in the Twin-Cities.

Start your day out right with some Horrifying Snowboard action at Zombie Boardshop’s Shred ‘Til You’re Dead…

Afterwards, get loose, bloody loose, with your friends and Familia at Nami, but don’t forget your costume!

Collabs are so last year, right?  No, not really.  Well…maybe?

Regardless, Midwest Represent will be co-hosting a Ladies Shopping Night at Summit Boardshop on Friday, November 13th.  This is the third year running and we are looking forward to another great night of shopping, skateboarding and shred talk!

My Grandpa always used to say he was half Polish and half Nuts.  Clearly he rubbed off on me, and clearly Chestnut Mountain Resort’s second annual Big Nut Open is going to be a blast!  February 27th is the date so mark your calendars. See the flyer for details!
