Opening weekend at Bear Mountain...

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Benson) — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 06:46:00 +0000

We went riding at Bear on Sunday and Monday. It was a lot of fun even though it is only one run and 12 features. Casey broke his board doing a Michael Jackson (see video for definition). So he went ahead and snapped it in half. Gonna miss that one. Good times...

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Benson) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:19:00 +0000

Hey everyone!

Here are the first bunch of entries for the Stabby drawing contest! You still have until December 1st to enter! Send in your family-friendly entries to knifeshow@gmail.com Do it, cause the winner gets a free sweatshirt, DVD and t-shirt. You can enter as many times as you like!

This first one comes from Mike, who actually painted on his snowboard! Pretty sweet!

This one comes from Ren!

This one is from Alex, and it's really good. But by the way, Stabby would NEVER STAB AN INNOCENT ANIMAL. We are just going to have to assume this was an evil mastermind reindeer. I hope. Anyway, make your drawings less violent than this one . :)

This drawing comes from Kyle, who imagines that Stabby wants more friends...

And then there's this colored-pencil Stabby drawing from Debby. Stabby looks like he has a guilty conscience here...

Good job everyone! Keep it up!

SWEATSHIRTS ARE HERE

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Benson) — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 00:10:00 +0000

Knife Show is making a limited run of these sweatshirts before the season starts.

All orders get a free sticker and a surprise gift from KnifeShow headquarters.

To order go to:
http://knifeshowinc.com/store/

The sweatshirts are all modified Hanes sweatshirts, which are fairly tall but if you want taller I would order a size or two larger. I know some folks prefer baggy clothes. Please include $10 shipping and handling within the continental US.

THE YETI - $55

This is a ferocious sweatshirt that would intimidate the most seasoned snowboarding veteran. It sports the trusted knife show name on the front, a knife coming out of the pocket for protection and of course, eyes and teeth.

YETI IN THE WILD!!!

THE GREY - $55

This is a dark grey hoodie with royal blue lettering and logos. It has the knife show name on the bottom of the front and back, and a small knife on the hood. (see below). We'll have shots of the reverse of this up soon also.

Pictured with official Knife Show mascot "Stabby."

THE POLAR BEAR - $55 (WOMENS SWEATSHIRT)

This is a clean white hoody with perhaps the most adorable polar bear ears known to mankind. It also has the name in grey on the front and a small grey knife on the back.

THE CASEY - $70

This is the only non-zippered hoodie we're making, because that's how Casey wanted it.

It has Knife Show written three times over, and a knife in the pocket. Also, the back has a KS, as shown below.

THE CLASSIC - $50

Simple is good too. This black sweatshirt has the knife show name on the front, a white knife in the pocket, and a second white knife on your back. You know. In case you get into a fight.

We'll also have some more pictures up very soon.

Thanks for the support guys!

-Mike and Casey
