Is it snowing yet? Is your local mountain open yet to shred? Neither of these things matter because the Rome SDS is bringing some early-season jib fun to your local mountain for the 5th Annual running of the Premature Jibulation event series.
Paul Overby, a Big Sky local snowboarder and snowboard instructor was nearly beaten to death in Bozeman on September 17th for trying to stop two idiots from stealing his friend’s moped. Paul’s medical bills are estimated to be in the $2,000,000 range and his friends and family are reaching out for assistance with these expenses. A fundraiser for Paul, the First Annual “Pillage in the Village”, will be held on November 14th.
Saturday October 25th in lovely San Louis Obispo, it’s 85 degrees, the sun is out, and One Way Boardshop is putting on a rail jam.
This is not the 1st time that One Way has done this sort of thing, they were actually one of the original “I Heart Box” shops.
In fact they love doing these events so much that they went out and got their own set up this season. This says one or two things about the owners Dave and Dan (twins, and yes it can be confusing), they’re either crazy or One Way is arguably the “Baddest” Boardshop in the central coast.
October 16th was not like your normal Thursday night in downtown Sacramento. This was a night when hundreds of snow starved shredders came out to get their visual fix for the upcoming winter season by taking part in Ground Zero’s annual snowboard movie premiere. This year’s headliner film happened to be Rome SDS’ and Kids On Shred Productions’ “No Correct Way”.
"No Correct Way" has been showing all over the country, here's a brief run down of two of Michigan's bigger premieres for the film from Rome midwest rep Pete Harvieux

Should we support the idea that a brand’s roots, involvement in, and connection to snowboarding don’t matter?
Should we say, “hey, athletics-r-us brand, you haven’t given a shit about snowboarding for 30 years and your spandex-clad board of directors still don’t give a shit about snowboarding now, but that’s cool, come on in and make some money off us”?
The Rome SDS wrapped up another No Correct Way Movie premiere in Portland, Oregon at the Hawthorne Theatre on Oct 8th. While the Rome crew was busy putting the finishing touches on the venue, eager knuckle draggers were lining up outside a half an hour before the doors were even opening!
A little after 7pm the rope dropped, and so began the parade of shred-ready movie seekers. Local shredders drove from as far away as Government Camp, Bend, Eugene, Seattle, and even all the way down from Bellingham, WA for this gig.
The Ship and Anchor Pub is premiering No Correct Way in Calgary, AB this Sunday, October 12th. The premiere is an 18+ event with free admission and is being hosted by Mission Snowboard shop.
