Spencer O'Brien: Dew Cup Champ and Athlete of the Year

So Many 'Firsts' for Spencer O'Brien! She won the first stop of the first ever Winter Dew Tour which just happened to be her first major competition win. She also took the overall title at the inaugural event, and was the first to be named the Dew Tours' Female Athlete of the Year alongside pipe rider, Kelly Clark.

Spencer has some new trophies to add to the collection

Spencer racked up 280 points (ahead of Jamie Anderson and Jenny Jones) over the course of the tour (1st at Breckenridge, 2nd at Mount Snow, 2nd at Northstar). She clinched the Dew Cup this past weekend after taking 2nd ahead of super pro, Janna Meyen and behind Jamie Anderson, who in interviews, said she thought Spencer had her beat.

"I'm really stoked to be the first overall winner. The Dew Tour is a really important event for snowboarders and skiers. They did a really good job with the tour, because there was lots of Media coverage that brought snowboarding to the masses, and it was tons of fun for the riders too," said Spencer.

After winning the Dew Tour Overall Title and Female Athlete of the Year Spencer was stoked to celebrate, so she took her friends out for sushi.

Meghann O'Brien Surfs the Snow

On February 13th Meghann O'Brien headed to Terrace BC (not far South of AK) from Mount Baker where she had competed in the Legendary Banked Slalom.


Beautiful Drive

For the first few days she shredded and sledded with Natasza Zurek in the sun and pow. Just the 2 of them with plenty of terrain to enjoy.


Sun and Pow in Terrace

Meghann and Nat have been sledding and shooting all week long, and were recently joined by Mark Sollars. They've also run into a couple of other crews who caught word of the good conditions in that zone, but that hasn't stopped them from finding spots of their own.


Meghann Stoked to be in her element.

X-Games Medal and TV Appearance for Spencer O'Brien

It was a great day for Spencer O'Brien at Winter X-Games 13. Spencer rode well in the Slopestyle finals with her signature strength and style taking home X-Games Silver.


X-Games 13 Podium

Immediately after the press interviews Spencer was whisked away to get ready for her appearance on Food Network's Dinner Impossible where host Robert Irvine is challenged to create creative dishes both for intimate gatherings and for huge crowds, all without warning and at a moments notice. Robert's challenge for this episode was to make an X-Games feast for all the athletes. Spencer's part, to deliver the Bull's Balls! After delivering the "extreme" ingredient Spencer was put to work grilling chicken, cooking up meat on ski poll skewers and helping Robert right up to the Awards ceremony. Look out for the episode to air on the Food Network. After the awards everyone headed to the Athletes Lounge to enjoy Spencer's hard work!

JP Hits Up 32 Boot Camp and Zumiez 100K

Recently JP took sometime out from filming for the Stepchild/32 team video to attend 2 major events, Thirty-Two Boot Camp and Zumiez 100K.


JP Hanging with JP!?!

On January 8 JP rolled up to Tamarack, Idaho for Thirty-Two Boot camp. He was there to snowboard and to check out the brand new outerwear line, as well as the hugely popular boots, alongside riders, retailers, media and some of the Sole Tech crew. After plenty of pow and great food from the onsite chef's JP was ready to get down to business. After an in-depth look at the outerwear line JP stepped up to talk about his signature color story, his pieces in the line and also The Spot logo, a signature logo JP shares with his buddies that represents their crew and their secret rail training spot in Utah.


Way too much talent for one room

Then on January 12 JP headed to Keystone, Colorado. Everyone knows the deal with the Zumiez 100K, it's a massive party with all of the top snowboarders and skaters the world over. Though JP isn't too into the party scene, he's always down to hang, especially when he gets to hang with friends and fellow shred legends, Peter Line and Terje Haakonsen.

Stepchild/32 Team Video Underway

See those 3 grins? They're stoked because they've already logged footage for their upcoming parts in the Stepchild/32 team video.

JP and Simon got to work as soon as snow started to hit Ontario. Then after Christmas Joe, and his re-habbed knee joined in on the rail slaying that took place here, there and everywhere in snowy British Colubmia. B.C. hasn't seen this much snow since 1971 --which in case you can't do the math was before any of those guys were even born.

Check back here and on Stepchild's site as the season unfolds for more on JP, Simon and Joe's Excellent Adventure.

Spencer O'Brien Wins Dew Tour Stop #1

Spencer has been out in Colorado riding Keystone and getting ready for her first contest of the season for the past couple of weeks. Her hard work and focus paid off today in the Women's Slopestyle Final during the first stop of The Dew Tour. Spencer rode strong and smooth taking 1st place! She had a solid run that consisted of a smooth switch B/S 180 mute, B/S 540 mellon, and a solid gap to boardslide all with her signature style stomped clean she easily took the win! Congrats to Spencer for not only taking 1st in the premier event of the series, but also for her first win at a major pro contest!

Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in the US with one in six American men developing the disease and more than 28,000 men dying of the disease every year.

African American men and those with a family history of prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease and should have regular annual testing starting at 45. All other men should commence testing at 50.

Prostate cancer is 90% curable if detected and treated early.
