Having been there since the beginning, Snowboard Canada —and Snowboardcanada.com — is proud to be a sponsor of the Ride Shakedown, not only because it’s a great Canadian contest, but because it’s truly one of the world’s best as well. As Canada’s national snowboarding magazine, we’ve been around for 18 awesome years, and you don’t get this kind of history by standing idly by. Filled with the best photos, stories and the most forward-thinking design, all from a uniquely Canadian perspective, Snowboard Canada balances humour with substance, and shock-value with the best road-trip tales from the biggest pro shreds. In all, we take a national approach to snowboarding, reflecting the varied scenes across the country, with our fingers firmly on the industry pulse—and that pulse includes the Ride Shakedown.
