With Snowboarding, Traveling, Charity Donations, Guest Appearances and even a MTV/FRENDS Reality TV show in the works; Scotty’s future appears to look bright and FLOW SNOWBOARDING is glad to continue supporting him along the way.

The world has witnessed how this one time “binding” company has progressed into the leader of innovative products featuring a complete line of “speed entry” bindings, performance proven boots and award winning snowboards. The future is here and the future is FLOW.
LAGO IS UP AT HOOD WITH THE FRENDS CREW.... Scotty and the FRENDS crew are up at Mt Hood, Oregon for High Cascades Summer Camp Signature Session. Scotty tells me that he has been having a blast being on the snow and it's great to be back. He and the FRENDS crew have been staying in Govy (Government Camp), eating at home instead of going out to eat and putting back cold ones at the Ratskeller. His foot feels fine and his road to recovery is well on the way. Scotty says that the Summer of '09 at Hood rules with the new tow rope, the great weather they've had, mad kids, ton of friends/frends, sunburn and no herpes.

Hailing from Seabrook, New Hampshire, Scotty grew up a few miles from a nuclear power plant (and it shows). A freestyle snowboarding mutant, Scotty's tricks from the halfpipe to the backcountry always look genetically altered and they always look good. Lago had a heck of a season in 2008, filming stand out video parts for three different movies, and still finding time to compete. Jumps, rails, pipe, powder, you name it; Scotty is a wiz on all things alpine.

Shay is a Chude (Chick + Dude) from the small town of Steamboat Springs Colorado. She started her own product review blog sometime ago and since then it's blown up. Check out her review on the 2009-2010 Flow Team Snowboard....
On offer for the winner was an all-expenses paid trip to Iceland. And the lucky girl was Ashley Thornton from the USA. So at the end of May Ashley flew over to Reykjavik to meet with the crew at Nikita HQ.
Here is Ashley’s story about the experience;
“So I got a call from my good friend Kari. She had seen that Nikita Clothing was doing a video contest on their web page. She said “Ashley you have to send your video into Nikita, you could win a trip to Iceland.” So I checked it out and noticed I had one day until the deadline to turn it in. I got a hold of my videographer and told him the situation. He was super busy at the time filming with pro skiers in town and said he would do what he could to put my footage together. The day it was due I was leaving town. The videographer was not going to be around that day so I had to have my dad pick the footage up out of Pete’s mail box. My dad then sent it in for me. I got my video turned in just in time. The following morning I checked my emails and I was the winner of the trip! I couldn’t quite believe it. I called Pete, my friend and filmer, and gave him the good news. He thought that I was kidding, because we had just got the video done the night before.
I was waiting very excitedly for the next month to go by for the trip. I had no idea what to expect. I had never been out of North America before and have always wanted to.
Our Rep Don Bergeson up in Minnesota gave me these pics from a few years back, taken up North of Minneapolis on Rainy Lake. The fish his friend caught is a 44inch Northern Pike but while reeling it in another fish just thought it would go for a trip on to the boat with it's hommie. A 56 inch, 55 pound Northern Pike, talk about killing two birds with one stone......
BOOYA!! 55lbs. Northern Pike
Start sending me yer Lunker pic's and I'll post them...... send pics to.....markl@flow.com
