ThirtyTwo and StepChild got together to make a baby! Well, it's still in the making. And given the very promising gene pool, we expect a beautiful bundle of joy... in the form of a FREE movie.

For now, check out our boys in StephChild's current free movie Downloaded, and stay tuned to ThirtyTwo and StepChild for more some behind the scenes action on the making of the yet to be named 2009 project.

Tuesday, October 7th marked the date of the annual Casualties Snowboard Video Premiere.

This year’s event took place in front of a capacity audience on the campus of Northern Michigan University. Feature films included Mack Dawg’s senior release “Double Decade” along with Rome’s “No Correct Way.”

Rome SDS pro rider Yan Dofin was on hand to present his new part, which included footage from Casualties home town of Marquette, MI. The crowd erupted during the premiere introduction video, which was followed by a huge product toss. Lucky guests received prizes from a number of sponsors, including the coveted “I went to the Casualties video premiere and all I got was this poopy T-shirt” tee, complete with poop-smudge brown ink.

The raffle drawings reached epic proportions this year with the grand prize giveaway of a brand new Kymco scooter! This street machine featured custom Casualties graphics, along with a one-of-a-kind stereo from Hunter Audio including marine grade CD deck, iPod, waterproof speakers, remote control, and more! It even included a $50 gas card from NMU’s TCF Bank!

A big thank you goes out to ThirtyTwo for their continued support of this event and others like it; tr32d lightly, and we’ll see you next year!
