Congratulations to Jack H. for answering last weeks blog about Michigan Snowboard Companies.  Because he was the smartest and fastest out of the group, he is taking home a brand new Dragon Snowboard Beanie.  I hope it keeps your head warm, and thank you for reading jonathantollefson.com.

Two Michigan Snowboard Companies

Marhar Snowboard Co. located on the west coast of Michigan, started a couple of years ago, and is bringing a whole new aspect to riding.  These guys are innovative and are building boards with original shapes that have the potential to revolutionize the snowboard industry.  Their boards are made with killer materials which I am going to keep secret.  If you are interested in a sweet ride, look’em up at www.marharsnowboards.com.

Epix Snowboard Company is located on the eastern coast of Michigan, and has been on the map since early 2000.  They design boards that I have seen rode in competitions around the state, and I have recently seen posts of them adding more presses to their shop.  From graphics to board construction, Epix will build a board that fits you.  Looking for a killer 2010/2011 board to add to your quiver be sure to check Epix out at www.epixsnowboards.com.

The time is right, the stars have aligned, and it is time to get a new snowboard.  But what do you do with your old board?  Well here are 10 ways to recycle your old board!

10. Give it to someone in need

9.  Hang it on the wall as an ornament

8.  Use it for Urban Jibbing

7.  Rent it out

6.  Turn it into a picture frame

5.  Get crafty and make it into a bench

4.  Make a book shelf out of the board

3.  Let someone new to the sport use it so they don’t have to rent

2.  Cut it in half and use it as a pair skis.

1.  Hey get creative and figure it out on your own

If you think you have a better idea for your old snowboard.  Please leave a comment and share it with the rest of the world!
