We don't wanna take the piss out of this one by trying to figure out what to say. So, we'll let the good homies over at Airblaster take it from here:
To answer your questions:
1) Yes, this is for real. It is an actual legitimate collaboration between Airblaster and Honey Bucket.
2) The story of this epic mingling of brand juices between two iconic PNW brands starts many moons ago, in the fertile stomping grounds of central Oregon. The year was 2003, and Airblaster had just begun inverting the overly-serious paradigm of snowboarding onto its hilarious head. A baby faced Jake Price filmed DECEMBER, a snowboard movie which followed the adventures of super stars Travis Parker and Andrew Crawford, as they air-blasted their way across Eastern Europe, boarding everything in sight. Jake, a ripping snowboarder in his own right, had been raised up in the town of Bend, OR. His supportive and welcoming parents provided a safe off-hill environment for Jake’s friends—aka the local snowboard community—to practice staying wild. Craig Price (Jake’s dad) was an especially important mentor and friend to the community, not to mention a legendary expansionist of the Honey Bucket empire, and arguably a style god in his own right. So, when Airblaster decided it was time to roll up their sleeves up and get down to the dirty business of creating timeless and truly iconic snowboard wear—aka inventing future classics—they knew exactly who to call. They phoned Jake and Craig. And Honey Bucket, in case that wasn’t clear. So now you know. But since there’s no possible way to concisely paraphrase this multigenerational saga of spicy collaboration… If anyone asks you what the story is, we recommend this: Just shake your head and say, “This? Its just some future classic style god type stuff. I’m not sure you’d understand.” Then blast some air.
