Thanksgiving Name Droppin

November is over and the jet stream still has not shifted. Don't worry though, my prediction is five days until snow. I had a chance to check out the Seattle snowboard forum, Thank you to all of the people who have posted, we appreciate it. I even see a little name dropping going on there- nice.

Unfortunately, Matt Goodwill didn't wear Batmitts. I wish he did based on the response, but don't feel that you guys should be discouraged by the news. So I decided to do a little name droppin, because I can. Team Batwaves began back in the Baker Hardcore days. Some riders are still around, some are dead, but one thing is for certain, they are all from the Core. Some names you have heard of, and some probably not. Team riders have spanned the globe, and some continue to do so. So here goes- the most complete Team rider list we have come up with to date:
Tex Devenport
Jeff Fulton
Jay Liska
Nate Holland
Pat Holland
Anton Pogue
Annell Allen
Cyrus Briggs
Dan Coffey
Dustin Varga
Dylan Omlin
Eric Holdridge
Jaime Moore
Josh Korvin
Matt Krovisky
Scott Stamnes
Steve Adkins
Todd Mason
Tom Nordwall
Tory Madsen
Weegee McAuliffe
Wendy Keller
Aaron Kennedy
Andy Brewer
Bryan Hollenbeck
Cassie Tauber
Charles Patterson
Dawn Fidler
D.J. Smith
Gavin Skilton
Jacob Tyler
Jason Basarich
Jeff Yates
Joe Bailey
John Ledford
Jordan Ketchersid
Katrina Sweet
Luke Edgar
Madalina Silva
Mike Cotes
Mike Waldrup
Nick Rust
Dave Sanborn
Rob Skala
Steve Fisher

And the list undoubtedly goes on. Last weekend we sponsored a showing of the Let It Ride Craig Kelly tribute put on by Keith Wallace. Jeff Yates, John Ledford, Steve and Terry Mathews, and a whole crew attended. Good times were had by all.

Ryan Anderson and Noah Armstrong are the newest team riders- Look out!

And I think this concludes my name droppin session. As for Batmitts, Del got his before the snow flew- what about you? Oh yeah, and Happy Thanksgiving-Josh

THE BIRD IS THE WORD

Wow I managed to put this off for a while. So let's get right to it. Batwaves is working on sponsoring the USASA northwest series. Roots. Batmitts are on location at Dethbox Skate and snowboard supply as we speak. Groundzero will have them next week (provided Bucky's melon heals). We should also have them available in time for opening day at the Schweitzer employee store. Roots. Batwaves basically originated on midway of legendary chair one.
We will have a new long sleeve tee available for Christmas. The black short sleeve tees are nearly gone forever, get them while you can. Batmitts are going quick, I have said it before, order them soon.

Batwaves is also very happy to be keeping Ryan Anderson's hands warm this season. We will have a bio up soon for him. Noah is riding Rome this season. A shout out to http://www.oneshotproduction.net/ and their release of the Corndog Diaries, check it out! And also a special thanks to Angela Miller at the Tower Theatre in Bend, for letting us be a part of the Warren Miller extravaganza. And also a shout to the core over on the west side
www.snowboard seattle.com forums have been very kind to us, thank you. And also to Annie Fast at Transworld, for mentioning us in her blog. And to Marianne Love, who managed not even to mention that she was our number one investor in that wonderful article in the River Journal. Funny how that works.

Sooner or later, I will find time to be a little more organized with my thoughts and blogging. Maybe I will even be more regular with them, but in the mean time,
