A street-specific rocker board for riders whose focus is park and urban jibs: rails, boxes, trees, wall rides, etc.; the Draft is the perfect platform for spinning, pressing, bonking, and buttering your way through life.
Chelone “Chilly” Miller and Nick Visconti made their way out to Los Angeles to embark on a SoCal media tour with Arbor team managers, Brad Farmer and Matt Patti. The mission was simple…in two days, we had to hit FUEL TV, Snowboarder Mag, Von Zipper, Transworld Snowboarding Mag and tie in with folks from Grind TV/Yahoo and BNQT before making it back to Arbor headquarters for a photo shoot. This all had to be accomplished into to get Chilly on a plane to Argentina. No prob. Pictures were taken along the way and thus we tell the story through the captions.
Source Interlink is the home of Snowboarder Mag where we were to meet with editor, Pat Bridges but all we could find was this homeless guy called The Eye.
We stopped by Von Zipper to see marketing manger, Brian Harris. He thought we were there to discuss big ideas but really we just wanted free sun glasses.
Chilly and Visconti are smiling at me while posing for a picture at the Transworld hearquaters and all I can think of about is who’s the kid in the blue shirt behind them and is the guy next to him really masterbating that dog? What is Transworld playing on their TVs?
Nick “Faster Pussy Cat” Visconti did some shredding around the Transworld skate park
Chilly, just chillin’ wondering if there’s anything Monster doesn’t sponsor.
We brought Matt Patti so no one would f**k with us and no one did. Would you mess with him?
Dinner at Pizza Port in Carlsbad was a must. A pitcher of Carlsbad Chronic and a couple of pies. The only way it could have been better is if there was a full moon that night. Whaaaat?
Pizza and Beer!
The best thing you could possible find after a long day is a bar serving a beer and a shot for $5! We found just that and it was any beer on tap and almost any shot. Crazy. We got mellow. Just a good crew having a good time. Does Nick have stars in his eyes?
This must be ironic.
We made it back to the Arbor headquaters, met up with Eli Weiner and handled a photo shoot for a new window wrap at Bear Mountain. If you are chilling on the deck at Bear this winter, you’ll be chillin’ with these guys. For sure.
I guess I’m the only one who lost this episode but here and now is Part 2 of Chilé Con Visconti. Enjoy the misplaced second episode as we follow Arbor snowboard team rider, Nick Visconti on a trip through this beautiful South American country. We’re not sure why Nick is dressed like a Storm Trooper but it’s shreddable, it’s eatable and it’s a pow day Chilé style.
