Sean Black is a master of many things, and one of them is halfcab 5-os. Our friends at FUNhat got Sean to demonstrate, and explain the art of this trick for one reason only though: They want to give you free stuff. So here’s the deal. Watch the video (in our slick new video player above) as many times as you need to and once you think you’ve got it, take it to the snow. Bring your buddy who sucks at snowboarding, but has ad HD camera to make up for it, and make him film you. Upload your video to Youtube, Vimeo, anywhere with an embeddable player really, and send us the link to submissions@yobeat.com. They’ll pick the best one and that sweet shredder will be featured on YoBeat and get a box of goodies from FUNhat. Cool? cool.

Nike 6.0 is creating the GREATEST HITS Park at Mt. Seymour, BC to support the local shred community. The Nike 6.0 GREATEST HITS Park is rebuilding three iconic features that influenced snow-culture history, bringing together world-class spots in one location and adding to the already epic roster of shred-spots in the Vancouver area.

The first feature to be reconstructed is the Red Ledge, a daunting concrete monster at Montmorency Falls in Quebec City. Made famous by seasoned film crews, the Red Ledge may be wide, but it’s steep and fast—and don’t underestimate the power of that bottom kink.

“I remember the first time I saw someone hit the Red Ledge and it looked surreal. I’ve always wanted to ride it, but just haven’t made it that way. I’m pumped it will be in my backyard at Mt. Seymour and available for all the local riders to hit!” - Kevin Sansalone

To unveil the Red Ledge, Nike 6.0 is hosting a grassroots jam at Mt. Seymour this Saturday, January 30th. The free jam session, open to all, goes down 11:00 AM-3:00 PM, and includes food, music, and 6.0 product giveaways.

The final legendary feature for the GREATEST HITS Park is yet to be decided so cast your vote at www.nike6.com

Likely going with with a ‘Party Bunny’ type cover next issue. Keep an eye out.
