Emi Hasegawa just got her new shipment of Slytech Nervous Shin and Arm Guards and already blogged about it. She's really  looking forward to using them on a regular basis and expressed her stoke about getting on what look and feel like the fastest guards out there...

You just got to love it when people just go for it in life. So many people don't or can't seem to assert themselves and live a life they were destined for. Rather than daring to dream and jumping headlong into that dream, many toil in unmindful repetition and end up like Kevin Spacey in American Beauty.
Lisa Filzmoser, a diehard Slytech wearer from Austria is one of these people who dared to dream, jump into that dream and carve a life out for herself that's authentically her.
This post is dedicated to all those -- especially our femmes fatales -- who take that first step and never stop going for their dreams!

YESnowboard is making waves in the snowboard industry. Known for affordable, yet solid design and build quality, the boards are equally fun-inspiring as the YES team riders are. Gone are the boring board, distribution and marketing meetings of old-school snowboard companies, and in are debaucherous, hard rippin' and "family-style" tropical work vacations.
In these videos, the Yes team meets up in El Salvador to hit the waves for some good surf, knock-back shots, and ohhh yeah, have business meetings.
Freakin' hilarious to watch, it inspires us to go travel, discover new locations, and maybe even dream about having business meetings as relaxed as this. Careful though, there is some foul language in there. If you're sensitive to F-bombs and the like, maybe don't watch them.
Slytech Protected Romain de Marchi leads the charge... check it:

Name: Adam "Sangy" Zampa
Hometown: Yysoke Tatry, Slovakia
Birthdate: 9/13/1990
Shred Sport: Ski Racing
Website: http://adamzampa.com
BEST RESULTS:
21st in World Championshops 2009 Val d'Isere slalom
12th on World Junior Champs GAPA kombi
2nd place for my birthyear in the world in slalom
ABOUT ME: I was born near my town in kezmarok. I started skiing when i was 3 years old. When i was 11 i start to race but it was just for fun. I couldn't place well back then, because I was a late bloomer and was too small for my age. ;( But now that I'm older and work hard, it's getting better and I'm starting to get some results 
 I always want to work harder and smarter to become better and hopefully soon, I'll be THE BEST
My hobbie is bike racing street car racing and other adrenaline sports
FILMS: I like to watching a lot of comedy, but then I also like The Secret.
SOMETHING YOU THINK EVERYONE SHOULD TRY IN THEIR LIFETIME: We are here on this Earth not so, so I believe everybody should go for their dreams! I believe the motto that all that we are is a product of our thought. What we allow ourselves to think about will eventually manifest.
FAVORITE MOVIE: The Secret
CRAZIEST DREAM: I dream a lot, especially when I eat a large dinner. Typically I dream about cars -- Ferrari's to be exact. I also dream about skiing and getting huge air off a ramp... right at the landing I wake up in a cold sweat.
AGE YOU LEARNED TO SHRED: 3 years old.
WHAT EXCITES YOU?: Standing on skis on a hard snow or ice, knowing it's up to me to shape my run. I love that feeling. Chicks excite me too.

You've got to just love the solid video work and high-flying action. It takes some solid dedication to get these shots and of course several takes on the moves, before you have enough to piece it all together and make a sweet lil youtube vid like this.
No doubt, crashes and spills were abundant on this shoot. From what we gather, there were no serious injuries, possibly due to the guys using solid back protection and of course helmets.
Ride on!

HOT HOT HOT
Just stumbled across this video and was blown away by the amazing shots and insane riding action. Slytech's very-own Wolfgang Nyvelt hits some just crazy peaks that just give you chicken skin...
Riding the mountains seems like a distant memory for most us right now in the northern hemisphere. With the whole country in dark red temps, this seems to be the only hope we've got right now...
That is, unless you live our in Mount Hood, where the summer season is in full swing.

Another Absinthe Neverland produced video that this time features 2008 Transworld Rider of the Year Wolfgang "Wolle" Nyvelt.
We've been featuring this and a video with Romain de Marchi for several months now on our home page without sound (many people say, hitting a site and suddenly hit with startling sound, that's annoying), and so now here it is WITH sound.
Wolle has always had a sort of mild-mannered style all his own. His flow-y style is probably a direct result of his go-with-the -flow, mellow demeanor.
Enjoy this video and listen to how Wolle answers the question: Â Can I Trust a Back Protector I Can't Even Feel?

If you were one of the hundreds of thousands of people to check out Absinthe's Neverland Tour throughout the world, you would have seen this Slytech Protection section somewhere along the line...
Arguably one of Snowboarding's biggest risk-takers, Romain de Marchi -- while oddly not wearing a helmet (he says he's too old-school for it) -- he relies on his Slytech 2nd Skin Back Protector at EVERY SESSION. Whether he's charging big mountain or is on piste for a quick late afternoon cruiser sesh, he straps it on.
"Why not?" he once told me, "I can't even feel it!"
Enjoy this short video segment....

We definitely dig Romain de Marchi's go-for-broke style, and as a Slytech Shredder it's only fitting that we recommend people look into YESNowBoard.
Here's a look into what RDM, DCP, and JPS got going in their line-up for 2010-2011.
