"VAY-KAY Fridays" - Vans AW-IV 2012 Platinum Pick

2011-12-02T15:48:00.000-08:00

The 2012 Vans Andreas Wiig IV Snowboard boot was again selected for The Snowboard Mag's annual Platinum Picks awards. Snowboardmag.com describes Wiig's latest boot as: for the rider that means business, still rides a camber board and whose confidence defines his snowboarding, the Andreas is the boot for you. This boot embodies the quote: “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” The responsiveness of the Andreas turns your feet into a brutal dictator that wills the rest of your setup into submission through simple intimidation. With a variable flex control system that leans toward the more aggressive side met with a custom forming liner and Outlast foot beds; ruthless as this boot may be, it gets results.

"VAY-KAY Fridays" - Ian Ruhter's Wet Plate Project

2011-11-18T16:51:00.000-08:00

Ian Ruhter is one photographer who has been pursuing the limits of photography, constantly searching for the next level in artistic expression. He is always finding time for his projects, even while traveling and shooting Andreas with the Forum and Foursquare pros. His latest endeavor, the Wet Plate Project, takes on the exotic, and entirely old-school, collodion process of shooting and then developing film directly onto a sheet of metal. Shooting the action and then developing right in the field is painstaking and dangerous, which is probably the reason why this photographic process has never been used before in snowboarding. ESPN contributor Jesse Huffman recently sat Ruhter down to talk about the Wet Plate Project. To read more from the interview with Ian online visit espn.go.com.

2010-05-19T22:07:00.001-07:00

Congrats to Zach Janz on winning Andreas’ autographed Foursquare jacket!Here is his winning entry: “This would be my dream jacket…colour: grey with white small horizontal stripes. It needs to be both slick and sleek. It must have a dual centered zip to enable chimney venting without collar flap at my max velocity (close to mach 3)… It must be waterproof and breathable: 10k/10k, it needs a ghost gaiter, pit zips, and a sleeve pocket, a fixed hood should also be included. — also, a jetpack built in would be sick to avoid chairlifts, and it needs a system that allows it to inflate into a boat. Always got to be prepared for any situation.”

Dew Underground Interview

2010-01-20T11:38:00.000-08:00

Here are some photos from the other day in Utah. I was out at Snowbasin for the 2nd stop of the Dew Tour. Keir hosts a TV show on Fuel called the Dew Underground and they did a live interview with me while I was there. Here are some photos from the set.

Andreas Wiig Places 5th in Final at Dew Tour Stop #2 Final

2010-01-18T23:32:00.001-08:00

Despite qualifying in 3rd place on Saturday the Slopestyle Final was rough. Everyone has the 900, and 1080s only score big when back-to-back or doublecorked. Andreas, even after 1080s and backside rodeo 9s, found himself in 5th. Fellow superstar and spin machine Torstein Horgmo took 6th. Almost everyone fell in their second run. Slopestyle competitors are going to need to adapt to a new degree of insanity for Stop #3 of the Dew Tour at Mt Snow.
