VBS.tv Webisodes - School of Surf & Powder and Rails
VBS.tv is tearing up the webisodes these days. If you haven't had a chance to check
out the "Powder and Rails"
series, it's worth a watch. They just released webisode
three in the series featuring legendary "Snowboarders in Exile" stars
Damien Sanders, Steve Graham & Dave Seoane. VBS.tv also started releasing installments
of the webisode series
School of Surf: Riders Cup.
Sponsored by Red Bull, this documentary focuses on the competitive
High School surf scene and the evolution of surf contest formats in general. VBS.tv is loaded with hours of excellent original mini series content, but they unfortunately ditched their full screen option a while back. Maybe you can share your thoughts with them here. (Posted: 09-09-08)
