Let’s not beat around the bush. Man or woman, having a wank is a pleasurable thing to do. It releases pressure, after all. It also requires zero effort, planning, thought, and it’s a given that you probably should think twice before letting someone other than your closest, most special friend witness you doing it. And you certainly shouldn’t be doing it in public. Alas, in many cases these days when it comes to snowboard video banged out on the internet, there’s a lot of pleasurable masturbation that should be left behind closed doors…
I remember when the internet became a thing in snowboarding. Until around 2008, the audiovisual representation of snowboarding media was almost exclusively reserved for videos – or rather DVDs at that time – that would get released once a season to great fanfare and a premiere tour that would involve swarms of frothing acolytes and plenty of free booze. It was a beautiful thing.
There would be a ‘premiere season’ where every weekend between the months of September and December another premiere party would be on the cards as yet another crew swung through town hawking the fruits of their cinematic labours. The snowboard equivalent of finding a stash of porno mags in the bushes beside the railway tracks in the 1980s. Special. Arousing. As soon as it was done you were already waiting for that day, a year hence, when you’d once again see new, fresh, inspiring snowboard video. I wanted more. You wanted more. We wanted more.
We got it.
