One small step for a snowboarder… Issue 81’s cover has a distinctly lunar feel to it, as Nik Huber returns to a powder kicker after a storm. Inside the mag things feel a little closer to home, with a report from the recent London Freeze Big Air and an interview with Danny Kass during his recent stop in our nation’s fair capital. Danny proved to be pretty chatty (maybe it was the beer we plied him?) and our interview covers some frank topics, from whether he’s sold out on Grenade to what he really thinks of former ‘team member’ Justin Timberlake. Don’t miss it. Elsewhere we take a look back at some of the coolest graphics of all time, and ask how the brands decide which pictures to use on their latest boards. Meanwhile the DC team go on a road trip round Europe and British photographer Dan Milner spends a week hanging out with snowboarding’s Yoda, Mike Basich, at his cabin in the back woods of Tahoe. One word sums up his story: POWDER!!
