Posted März 17, 2015 Volcom Snow

Good times in Kotelnica, Białka Tatrzańska for the 2015 Polish stop of the Volcom Peanut Butter & Rail Jam competition! It was the best jibbing session this year, with all elements coming together for a successful event: beautiful weather, huge attendance of riders, nice set up and pumped up audience for hyping up riders!
Like last year, a strong group of snowboarders from Slovakia made the trip to Poland to shred the fun setup that the resort put together.

After registration we started the main course and jibbers rocked out the spot. Park Pirates crew prepared perfect spot, containing obstacles in 3 different skills level. Starting from simple thick rail for youngest, most popular transfer section to deadly hard king 20 meters long!!! Good vibes were supplied by Red Bull with music played all day and powered up with energy drinks. People were stoked when we fired up BBQ with free sausages and peanut butter sandwiches!

The competition started with the Girls division, great way to start as they were all in form and soon there were going for the transfer and landed the first tricks in there. The battle was fierce but in the end, Basia Sekudewicz landed at the first place, with style and solid tricks! Second place was given to Tinka Doppova from Slovakia. Same result as last year – congratulations Tinka!! Her skills are well known and she didn’t disappoint the audience!! Anna Lalik finished in third.

In 15 and under division the competition was also heavy! The youngest did some nice tricks on the basic rail. It was rad to see how rookies are talented and how good they might become in the future. It was tight battle but the best impression and scores went to Maksymilian Strąg, winning this category! Janek Jaromin took the second place like last year; he is the smallest one but very talented snowboarder! On the third step was Maciek Mróz. PBRJ Poland 2015 7

In the 16-21 division, the level went up and guys took it kind of serious, landing bangers all the time with cab to board, nosepresses, lipslides! It is always a very crowded group, with high performance! They shredded all obstacles but the most popular was the transfer line. Marcin Kilar finished at the top spot, landing all tricks with perfect style. Behind him were Kacper Bobowski and Bartłomiej Bratko , giving the audience also some nice action to watch.

At the end the Open division was the cherry on the pie, some madness occured! Over 40 riders gathered to destroy the setup. It was as always the most impressive and rad moment of the event. The level was super high from the start, with the top Polish park&street shredders like Jakub Szkaradek, Wojtek Wojtyla, our Volcom team rider Maciek Długosz, Nikodem Franczak and a heavy crew of our neighbors from Slovakia!

Wojtek Wojtyła

All obstacles got destroyed, ripping down the long kink transfer section from all directions, rotations, long slides and solid riding from the beginning to the end… Judges decided that this year number one will be Kacper Gruszka for his undisputed smooth style, with bangers on each line, well deserved!

Week 11: Cowgirl Clue "Utopia" | Volcom Cyber Singles Club

Burger Records x Volcom present Cyber Singles Club, features music from the newest breed of Burger Records stars in the making, recorded exclusively at Volcom Studio, and will be released for free download & streaming every Monday for 20 weeks beginning April 17th. Week 11: Cowgirl Clue - "Utopia" Grab the free download Ashley Calhoun, aka Wu-Wu, aka Cowgirl Clue, made her Burger debut with one of the rarest and most sought-after Burger Records releases, the limited-edition Halloween split with The Garden from 2014. Since then she's expanded her excellent experimental pop sound into this wild one-woman project and released her debut EP, Limelite, on Burger Records cassette. Cowgirl Clue first experienced the Burger Records phenomenon from her hometown of Austin, Texas during SXSW. "My cousin owns a venue there called Hotel Vegas. They host Burgermania every year, so I started going and getting to know them," say Ashley. "Then I moved to Orange County and I happened to live down the street from them, so I kept seeing them at shows." Life in Orange County soon provided a new perspective into Burger's operations and influence. "It's just been growing for years. It's very developed now and there's an aesthetic that's prominent," she explains, "I think my perception of Burger Records changed as it grew." Like a lot of people on the scene, Burgerama was at the center of this experiential perception. "It’s all ages, so there are tons of kids going crazy throwing flips off the stage. I think that whoever is experiencing that for this time period is pretty lucky. Unlike shows I went to when I was younger, going to punk shows, I see so many women and so many girls and people of all ages. It gives people an opportunity to connect with like-minded creative, young individuals... just the community. It's really cool to see people come together for music and art." We are happy to premiere Cowgirl Clue’s latest song, "Utopia", an inspiring tune about keeping your passion true. "As far as Utopia goes, I wrote it to connect my life to the industry," she notes, "The lyrics are implying that money may or may not buy happiness, but in the end, the industry is expensive and tries to get the best of you and your utopia. I feel it's important to stay true to yourself in life and you can be who you want to be. That's why I wrote Utopia ;)."

Week 10: White Night "Dirty Water" | Volcom Cyber Singles Club

Burger Records x Volcom present Cyber Singles Club, features music from the newest breed of Burger Records stars in the making, recorded exclusively at Volcom Studio, and will be released for free download & streaming every Monday for 20 weeks beginning April 17th. Week 10: White Night - "Dirty Water" Grab the free download When attempting to describe the Fullerton / Anaheim, CA quintet, White Night (to those who have yet to give them a listen), one may face a challenge. Are they punk? Are they psychedelic? Are they attempting to go back to the days when pop or even pop-punk weren’t insulting things to be compared to? Or are they just plain ol' good time, hard-nosed rock and roll? The truth of the matter is that White Night is all of these things and more. While more bands are working to blur the traditional boundaries of nearly every genre, White Night fully embodies that melting pot sound which is reinvigorating rock and roll and its many sub-genres today. Like many bands that came before them, White Night was conceived as a way to meet girls. Guitarist and vocalist Frank Agnew, bassist and vocalist Jon Raines and drummer Mike Gonzales had previously played in bands embedded in the Orange County hardcore scene. But it wasn’t the best scene within which to reach girls, so they switched things up. "White Night started playing in mid-2008," says Jon. "Two of us had been playing together for a few years before that in Pterodacdudes and the Frank-fronted Shred Savage for about the same amount of time. Both bands were on the heavier side and we thought it would be cool to play stuff more pop-influenced and maybe more girls would come to the shows. The new sound soon found a home with their friends at Burger Records. "Sean and Lee are friends from way back," explains Jon. "Mike played in Thee Makeout Party for a bit and we've all been roommates at one point or another." The label would release White Night’s debut cassette Tour EP in 2009 which was followed by Immortal cassette in 2010, and most recently their full length album Weird Night in 2016. The band including Troy Rounsevllie on keyboard and Kevin Carle on guitar are working on their next record. They are also anticipating their first tour in Japan. Tour starts on July 20 and all Japanese dates are with Lenguas Largas from Tucson, Arizona.
