Up For Grabs: Win Austin Smith's Snowboard Gear

CONTEST CLOSED
Photo: Mike Yoshida

Austin Smith doesn’t work hard when he snowboards, but don’t get it twisted—his lack of effort is solely attributable to natural talent, not his work ethic. After a stellar freshman debut, Austin garnered himself more recognition in one winter than many established pros do in their entire career, including this publication’s Rookie of the Year title; and Mr. Smith’s juggernaut shows no signs of halting any time soon. From rails to park to backcountry booters, Austin can handle it all with effortless style, powerful maneuvers, and an ear-to-ear grin on his mug. This is your chance to get into Austin’s head-to-toe kit, so URL yourself over to snowboardermag.com and enter to win his setup, then pick up a copy of Mack Dawg People’s second release, as we’re quite sure that young Austin will do your new threads justice.
-Tom Monterosso

Read below to see why Austin rides what he does and enter to win his setup.

Nitro Austin Smith 155
“It’s still pretty weird to see my name on a snowboard, but it’s awesome to have 3 Inches of Blood graphics on it. It gets you amped to shred.”

Raiden Phantom
“This is a little stiffer binding for that quick response, and it has the cushiest heel strap, so you don’t even notice it.”

Nike Snowboarding Zoom Force 1s
“Everyone loves Dunks, and these look just like them. You can go straight from the mountain to the basketball court!”

Quiksilver Jakob Wilhelmson
“A good true-red color jacket with a flashy zebra print liner and nice, long sleeves. Good job, Jakob!”

Quiksilver Thin Lizzy
“This is the only pant I wore all year! It’s made out of a sweet stretchy material and has a good bootcut fit—the best pant I have found so far.”

Quiksilver Q2
“Good simple goggles, with optically correct lenses.”

Airblaster Ninja Suit
“One-pieces are awesome, and Airblaster has the best fit. This will keep you warm no matter what, and you will look like the dudes from The Karate Kid.”

DAKINE Stingray
“These are all leather for a perfect fit, and they’re Gore-Tex, so there are no questions about your hands getting wet or cold.”

The silly form doesn't allow for us canucks to enter in a province. Kind of weird since it asks for a country but you have to choose a state. Too bad cause that is some sick gear.
