Christian Halland is the hottest thing out of Norway since... Well, not much that's hot ever leaves Norway. But Christian is hot, trust us! Christian just had 4 covers in one month in Europe, a shot in the Wallpaper section of Transworld Snowboarding, and two American magazine ads run. It's only October, and already this quiet Norwegian ruler is dominating the Global Snowboard Media... You will be seeing a lot more of Christian this year, as he will be spending a few months in the US filming for a new video project and competing and getting his soul stolen by photographic pimps like myself!

The 05/06 Bataleon Snowboards website is live! It's been up for over a week now, but it still isn't quite done... You can check out our new product for 05/06, and have a look at the physics behind Triple Base Technology... Please feel free to send us your feedback and suggestions on the site! Send them to tore@bataleon.com, john@bataleon.com or jorgen@bataleon.com And make sure to keep them constructive!! (No brown-nosing for free product, I run that department!) Thanks!!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
ICER AIR 2005: POSTPONED
SAN FRANCISCO (August 24, 2005) – ICER AIR 2005, scheduled to take place August 27, has been postponed due to an unprecedented level of interest and enthusiasm for the event. The event has grown to a larger magnitude than was originally conceptualized, which ultimately raised a number of additional safety and logistical concerns. Mayor Newsom and the City of San Francisco are one hundred percent supportive and personally engaged in working with ICER and the San Francisco community to make this event a success. ICER, in partnership with the City of San Francisco, will spend the next 30-60 days addressing and amending the raised concerns that will ultimately produce the best event possible. Jonny Moseley and the ICER team look forward to working with Mayor Newsom and the City of San Francisco to produce a fantastic, one-of-a-kind event for San Francisco. ICER remains committed to putting on a spectacular, safe and unforgettable big-air ski

BATALEON SNOWBOARDS LAUNCHES OPERATIONS IN NORTH AMERICA,
while Triple Base Technology turns industry heads around the globe.

August 1st, 2005 - Portland, Oregon USA:

BATALEON is a collaboration of riders, artists, and physicists. Born in Norway, the company first entered markets in Scandinavia, Europe, and Asia over the past two seasons, and then executed an extensive pre-launch campaign in the US and Canada during winter 04/05. The brand’s entire product line is based on their patented innovation, Triple Base Technology.

“TBT is pre-formed to the natural dynamic shape a snowboard takes while turning, which yields greater energy efficiency and optimum edge performance compared to traditional flat-base boards”, says Bataleon designer Jørgen Karlsen. The Triple Base gradually progresses from flat between the bindings, to 3 distinct surfaces toward the tip and tail. This translates into faster glide, greater stability at speed, smoother edge transitions, and reduced edge-catch.

ICER Airlines and ICER Wax have teamed up with Bataleon Snowboards and Sweet Protection to bring big air snowboarding and skiing to the streets of San Francisco.

On August 27th, 2005, thousands will flood Fillmore Street in San Francisco to witness 10 of the world's best snowboarders and 10 of the world's best skiers compete for cash and prizes on a big air scaffolding jump and rail set up. Hosted by Johnny Moseley and broadcast LIVE on National Television and Bay Area radio stations, this will be the biggest snow sports event ever to hit the streets of the Golden Gate City. Check out ww
