Well, I’ve noticed on our twitter account that user skateparks has a website called Skatepark Directory where you can find skateboard parks in your area using Google Maps API.  I typed in “94132″ and pretty much got the above screenshot, it seems it’s missing some parks near San Francisco where I live but heck, nice job with it.

Snowboard Multi-Tool Screwdriver and Pipe!

Here’s a really cool snowboard multi-tool screwdriver and pipe from Italy.  I do personally own a similar screw tool but this one is extra special since it comes with a pipe that you can use while on the slopes.

Snowboarder Found via iPhone GPS and Twitter!

I do find that Twitter could be very useful for keeping in touch with friends while snowboarding, especially if you get lost, check out this story of a snowboarder who was saved via his iPhone GPS and Twitter.

Some snowboarders got lost in the alps. The guy with the iPhone, Jason Tavaria, used the phone’s GPS to aid his rescue. Tragically, his friend did not make it. Rescuers found the second lost person’s body at the bottom of a +60 foot fall next to a stream. The lost snowboarders’ friends kept in touch via twitter. It appears that while these skiers and sno
