Video Footage of the Infamous Crew

In Canada it was Thanksgiving last weekend, and in the U.S. it's November 27th. I've never really understood that one?

Whether you need to find something to be thankful for apres Thanksgiving, or in preparation for the upcoming holiday Transworld has done their part.



On Monday October 20th TWS is hosting a live web premiere of MDP's DOWN WITH PEOPLE and a live chat with producers Pierre Minhondo & Justin Eeles. Go to Transworld SNOW to find out when it airs in your time zone.



Then, make sure to check out JP's exclusive footage from MDP's DOUBLE DECADE also on the Transworld site Click Here

Filming a segment for an MDP video is an insane amount of work, so most dudes call it quits there, but not these fools! Check out JP, Simon, Joe and Stian in Stepchild's free 24 minute long downloadable film appropriately titled DOWNLOADED.

Team Update Fall 08

JP Walker's first and extremely hard earned Transworld Cover is on the front of the November 2008 issue. Plus, he's got a full length interview inside.



Also, JP was part of surfer Benji Weatherly's action sport cross over film, and they've launched a sick little web site. We suggest you take a look: Life As A Movie

Keala Kennelly was interviewed by popular U.K. snow/surf/style and travel mag Cooler. Check out what Keala has to say about big slabbing barrels, first impressions and more.

LIFE AS A MOVIE

JP Walker, Tosh Townsend, Tony Hawk and Benji Weatherly should never have been allowed to film together. Watching just one of them shred is enough to make the average kid's head spin, but then Benji had to go and put them all in one film. In Life As a Movie the guys throw down in all 3 action sports snow, skate and surf.

CHECK OUT THE PREMIERE: Thursday September 18th @ 7pm in Hermosa Beach $5

CHECK OUT THE TRAILER: Life As a Movie

MOVIE RELEASE: set for September 23, 2008

Premiere Mania

September is the start of school, the end of summer, and for anyone in the action sports industry, premiere mania! We're only 10 days into the month and the Infamous crew has already been all over the premiere scene.

JP, Seth, Simon and Joe were on hand for the back to back premieres of Double Decade and Down with People at Oakley headquarters.

The next night JP made an apperance at the etnies sponsored event "Surf.Sand.Chic." held at the W Hotel in San Diego where he was swooped down on by the paparazzi.


JP Interview #550

Then JP checked out Benji Weatherly's flick Life As a Movie. JP got to film with Benji and crew in Indonesia and Japan. "Not a super gnarly technical film but it was really well filmed, edited, had a great soundtrack and a really cool story and feel," says Roberta.

New Kid on the Block

Kyle Mack: action photo Adam Moran

Roberta Rodger and the entire Infamous crew is stoked to have 11 year old snowboard phenom, Kyle Mack join the crew.

Kyle has had a great start in snowboarding with dozens of USASA Nationals podiums, a trip to the European Open and coverage in this Fall's first 2 issues of Snowboarder already under his belt. He has raw talent, a good head on his shoulders and the support of a great family. Infamous is looking forward to representing Kyle as he progresses in snowboarding, and works his way towards his ultimate goal -to be one of the best.

Infamous Welcomes Keala Kennelly to the Crew

Keala Teahupoo Tow-In

Infamous is proud to announce the addition of big wave slayer and ambassador of women's surfing, Keala Kennelly to the crew.

After years of dominating heavy wave spots on the WCT and some time off to pursue acting, Keala's returned to pro surfing with a mission. This year Keala will attempt to become the first ever successful female freesurfer. Bros have been doing it for years, but Keala's out to do it for the ladies.

Infamous is stoked for you Keala!

JP's Signature 32 Boot Up for Grabs

Snowboarder and ThirtyTwo have teamed up to bring you the "Environ-mental Giveaway." Surf over to Snowboarder and tell them what you do to keep it green in order to win a pair of JP's signature Prospect boots.

JP & Seth Summer Update

If a pro snowboarder actually had a down month it would probably be August. Most of them still have plenty going on from Southern Hemisphere trips to product research and design, but August is when they're most likely to chill.

JP has been hanging out in Cabo this month surfing, eating good food and celebrating his 11th anniversary. A Nixon meeting or two has been thrown in the mix too, and of course no trip to Mexico would be complete without an encounter with the police. Here's the long and the short of it -after passing a cop car going 10 mph JP's driver's license was held hostage until he coughed up $19 USD to get it back!

Peace, Love & Another Podium for Spencer O'Brien

Much like the original Woodstock Billabong's Snow Stock at Snow Park NZ had weather problems of its own. Due to heavy winds the qualifiers got shut down early on Day 1.

On Day 2 (August 15th in the Southern Hemi/August 14th in the Northern Hemi) the wind died down and Spencer threw down grabbing 2nd place in the Big Air. Just over a week ago Spencer took 3rd in the Burton NZ Open slope, the girl is on a roll!

Keep your eye on the TTR Rankings as Spencer is about to make her way up the list.

Also, check out Billabong for video highlights from the event.

Spencer O'Brien Podiums in NZ

In a progressive slopestyle final at the Burton New Zealand Open Spencer O'brien put together solid run after solid run to take 3rd place. Spencer was up against some tough competition from current TTR champ, Jamie Anderson, and finished just 0.67 points behind Cheryl Maas. When asked about the result Spencer, uncharacteristically, had very little to say "I'm just stoked," was her comment. Spencer also made a serious move in the Burton Global Open Series standings moving from number 90 to number 12 this week.

Congrats Spencer!!!

Wahoo's Walker Tables

Everyone has been asked the question "if you could have dinner with someone famous who would it be?" For many snowboarders the answer to that question is JP Walker. But unless you lurk around his favorite sushi spots the chances of having dinner even in the same restaurant as JP are pretty slim since he's never in one city for very long.

The good people at Wahoos Fish Tacos teamed up with 32 to create JP Walker tables that can be found at various Wahoo's locations throughout California. Now you can feel super cool when you tell your friends "last night at dinner I spilt hot sauce on JP Walker." If you've already dined with JP then just check out the photos below.

A Mini Shred is Born

Seth Huot is officially a dad. Mason Steven Huot is still a bit small (he was born July 7, 2008) but we're pretty sure it won't be long before he's nosepressing hand rails, and ripping around on his own mini motorcycle.

Congrats go out to Seth and Julie Huot from everyone at Infamous for bringing such a cute kid into the world!

Infamous at Camp of Champions Part 2

Infamous' Joe Sexton headed up to Whistler to join JP and Simon for Stepchild week. Although Joe was fresh off knee surgery he went up the hill to hang with the kids, judge a couple rail contests and hosted his own after-camp activity, “Tie-Dying with Joe” so all the campers could get their inner hippy out. JP also had a shoulder injury so was keeping it mello but along with Simon they were seen on the hill daily lapping the park, riding with the campers, and eating chocolate bars. Off the hill the boys headed to the activity center to skate the mini or host a game of “Bump” on the basketball court. “Bump” became the best after-camp activity at COC with 25+ campers joining JP and Simon for the high energy B-Ball game to win product from Thirtytwo as well as JP’s Signature Oakley goggle. Rules of the game are simple, get a basket before the player behind you gets one or you’re out. To bring it up a notch each player that won a round had to put on all the gear they won to play for the next round! The week capped off with the BBQ and the boys giving away Stepchild boards to some lucky campers!

Infamous at COC

July 5-12th is Stepchild/Nomis week up at Camp of Champions. JP Walker and Simon Chamberlain will be up there all week slaying the park, slapping high fives and maybe taking a nap or two during lunch break.





COC Coach, Spencer O'Brien, has been up at camp since day one, and is taking some time off this week to focus on her own riding and to get ready for the Australian and NZ Opens.





Billabong is also at camp this week, which means Brooke Voigt made the trek out from Fort McMurray, Alberta to hit the jumps and play around in the rail garden.
