It's been a while...
We realized we haven’t posted to our blog space in a quite some time. Maybe that’s a good thing in that life has kept us busy on adventures, living, and debauchery that we haven’t had time to create content as often as we would like. The year started out great, taking UNHLY to the likes of Mexico, Bend Oregon, and Las Vegas in search of good times and high fives.
Then all of our meandering came to an abrupt halt with the spread of Covid-19 and our employers, businesses, and friends having to make very tough decisions in an effort to protect public health and safety. As the war wages on and people are feeling the pressures of having their daily lives upturned and an uncertain future ahead; we are trying as best we can to stay positive, abide by social policies to protect ourselves and others, and sneaking in a little time to repurpose some of our inventory into cloth masks for folks to wear while still trying to live their life and adjusting to the new norm of giving people space.
We hope you are living safely out there and being respectful of people. Stay healthy and here’s a little edit from before the lockdown kicked in. Godspeed you heathenous UNHLYfolk, we love ya!
UNHLY STARS
The fall has been great in our backyard, sunny skies and breezy temps. Got to get out with the lens last weekend with the friends and shoot some laps at the new Tom Erlebach Skatepark in Star, Idaho. Good times skateboarding and good times to come. Skating by Loren Exon, Charlie Allen, and Parker Duke.
Another UNHLY Winter is around the corner
Our hills have been getting dusted with a few brave souls making hiking up the slopes to get those early season turns. We hope to be joining them soon on the ol’ snowboards. We’re getting pretty excited for the season to get fired up. While we wait, here’s some clips of UNHLYFOLK A.J. Ogden and friends getting saucy last season in the Boise hills and beyond. Snowboarding is fun and we’re ready for it. Enjoy. Big thanks to Bogus Basin Terrain Parks crew for stoking the stoke with fun stuff to ride all season.
The Bogus Project
Last week was an unannounced hurricane of creative snowboarding in our backyard at the home mountain, Bogus Basin outside of Boise, Idaho. Snowboy Productions teamed up with Bogus Basin Terrain Parks and Corey McDonald to create a unique, one-of-a-kind snowboard park near the top the of the mountain. With one of the worst snow years on record, it was incredible to see what the team was able to put together. Professional snowboarders from all over the country were invited to ride the private park in addition to a select few local riders. The riders filmed all week long and below is the edit of just a sliver of the madness and radness that went down. Derek Weimer put the edit together, fitting with Bogus being the mountain he grew up riding. Just some of the riders list includes the likes of Mike Ravelson, Chris Grenier, Ryan Paul, Boody, Brandon Reis, Ted Borland, Loren Exon, Parker Duke, Bob Abrams, Jill Perkins, Justin Kensiton and many many more. Watch the edit here!
Praying for Snow
Earlier this month in Boise, the annual Pray For Snow Ale Fest went down. This is the fourth year UNHLY has gotten to be a part of it. Put on by local bar, Tom Graineys, it attracts over 40 breweries from around the Pacific Northwest for patrons to gulp down. In addition to the flowing ale, the event brings in live DJs, cigar vendors, free whiskey sampling and an on-snow rail jam for skiers and snowboarders right in downtown Boise. The rail jam is put on by our local backyard oasis, Bogus Basin Mountain with head digger Corey McDonald at the helm. Basically it's bad ass event with beers and friends and snowboarding. Local young gun Julian Glick ended up taking home first place in the rail jam with a nutty 360 off the top of the scaffolding. Check out the recap video here. Video courtesy of Aerial Mastery
UNHLY presents: FONE The Movie
As winter starts hitting across the country, we are getting excited for the chairlifts to start spinning and to get our winter legs back in the snow covered mountains that are our second home. Last month, The Garden City Projects in Garden City, Idaho hosted us to premier FONE, a locally sourced Idaho snowboarding film put together by UNHLY founder and creative A.J. Ogden.
As the winter season cranked along, A.J. was able to reach out to fellow winter enthusiasts to send footage of their winter snowboarding adventures. FONE was the product. Have a watch here and thank you to all the supporters and fellow boarders out there ready to get some pow and party boarding in this winter. Big shout out to all who donated prizes at the premier to elevate the stoke! Everything from skate decks from Prestige Skateshop, Art and Tattoos from Pyramid Tattoo Company and outerwear from Airblaster defintely had the crowd smiling on top of seeing what their friends got into last winter!
The Garden City Projects gets some Love
Friend and Entrepreneur Brigette Nelson got a little love from the local Newspaper about her shop, The Garden City Projects. She has been nothing but accommodating for local artists, brands and musicians to have a space to congregate and enjoy.

Brooke Geery of Yobeat airs it out on BoardRap
Friend and provocateur, Brooke Geery, of Yobeat, a snowboard website you may have heard of... or not... has a pretty bitchin' two-part interview up on Boardrap.com right now. Gives the history of the Yobeat site, but more interestingly, ties that history with Brooke's personal history and interactions within the snowboard industry. Honest and a no-bullshit approach makes this a must read in our opinion. Hate it or Love it, we appreciate the platform Yobeat has provided for so many. Check out the links here for the interview:
