The Van Delirium Teaser

The defining times in a persons’ season seem to usually involve either a specific day with the right people, a trick learned, a turn made, or a pillow dropped. For the Van Delirium crew the defining point in our season wasn’t a specific thing, it was a two week long blur of good friends, fun snowboarding, and unpredictable adventure. With no specific plan other than making it from Big Bear to Washington and back, we decided to let the universe dictate our path as we found our way into an array of priceless moments. Come along for the ride as we take you on a three part webisode journey with riders Ian Sams, Erik Leon, Austin Young and friends including Eli Weiner, Nick Visconti, Joe Bosler, Scotty Vine and more. VIVA LA DELIRIUM!

Arbor Welcomes Lynn Neil

Arbor Snowboards is announcing five new team riders in five weeks and Lynn Neil is 3 of 5. She joins Eli Weiner and Sean Black as one of the five.

Arbor Snowboards is proud to welcome Lynn Neil to their national snowboard team. “We finally have a girl on the Arbor team! I couldn’t be more excited about this new partnership with Lynn,” says Arbor team director, Brad Farmer. “She’s based out of Utah which is an important region for Arbor and she simply crushes it. I had the pleasure of watching her ride at Snowboarder Magazine’s Ms. Superpark last winter and was instantly impressed. She has a great personality, is a strong competitor and rides harder than a lot of pro dudes I know. I think she’s one to watch out for over the next couple of years. Welcome to the Arbor family Lynn Neil!”

“I am stoked to be riding for Arbor this year! They have a solid company with a great vision that I’m so excited to be a part of,” says Neil. “This year is huge for me. I have a vigorous competition schedule including the Dew Tour, Burton Opens and a few other big events. I will also be filming every chance I get. I feel like this is really a year to prove myself and having the support of Arbor is so nice.”
