Nixon the Southern California-based premium accessories company, has created a custom collection of limited edition watches to coincide with the Barneys celebration of 50 years of the peace sign. Nixon integrated a Happy Hippie theme into the crowd-favorite 51-30 watch.

The collection is comprised of four unique and highly customized
versions all individually numbered, all 300 meter water resistant
stainless steel cases with either a six-hand Japanese movement with
1/10th second subdial chrono and date or a Swiss three-hand movement
with tide subdial. These coveted pieces will range between $500 and
$8,800 depending on material integration.

Customizations range from hand-stitched hemp bands and hand-stamped
leather bands to custom stainless-steel options. The most coveted piece
includes a one-of-a-kind handcrafted sterling silver band with real
turquoise stone and coral inlay. Nixon worked with famed NYC jeweler
Gabriel Urist in producing six individual sterling silver creations for
sale.

The collection is now available exclusively in Barneys Co-Op stores.

The Unity Pride is the ultimate do it all directional freestyle board. Directional in shape and flex, which makes them great for freeriding. Deep sidecuts for quick response, which makes them great in the park or pipe. The Pride is a great board for the rider who wants one board to do it all.

Snowboard Art by Barry McGee
Taken From Wikipedia: Barry McGee (aka Twist aka Ray Fong aka Robert Pimple; born 1966, San Francisco, California) is a painter and graffiti artist. McGee rose out of the Mission School art movement and graffiti boom in the San Francisco Bay Area during the early nineties. His work draws heavily from a pessimistic view of the urban experience, which he describes as, "urban ills, overstimulations, frustrations, addictions & trying to maintain a level head under the constant bombardment of advertising".
McGee's paintings are very iconic, with central figures dominating abstracted backgrounds of drips, patterns and color fields. He has also painted portraits of street characters on their own empty bottles of liquor, painted flattened spray cans picked up at train yards and painted wrecked vehicles for art shows. McGee was highly influential on the urban art scene that followed in his wake. He popularized the use of paint drips in urban-influenced graphic design, as well as the gallery display technique of clustering paintings. These clustered compositions of pictures are based on similar installations he saw in Catholic churches whilst working in Brazil. He also was an early participant in the practice of painting directly on gallery walls, imitating the intrusive nature of graffiti.

The CAPiTA Stairmaster Extreme Snowboard line is in limited production - so if you want to be unique and the envy of everyone else in the lift line this is the board for you. The Stairmaster Extreme is geared toward the progressive jib and park shredder looking for more performance than the standard Stairmaster construction. The DS Select core features beech and poplar wood for reliability, consistent flex, and vibration absorption while the Special Blend pre-preg fiberglass configuration maximizes torsional rigidity and edge hold for carving sweet turns. The specially designed dampening system is placed along the edge in between the inserts to enhance impact resistance on boxes and rails. The CAPiTA Stairmaster Extreme is where performance in relation to the price tag is unmatched.

* DS SELECT Core: The DS Select core is lightweight, has no irregularities or finger joints, and is constructed with the highest quality Poplar and Beech woods. Beech is placed along the rail, and off the centerline, enabling the rider to hold a solid edge while carving and poplar is placed under-foot, tip-to-tail, for flex consistency and vibration absorption.
* Special Blend Pre-Preg Fiberglass Configuration: The Special Blend configuration is an optimum blend of triaxial and biaxial Pre-Preg glass. The triax is placed on the base side maximizing torsional rigidity and edge hold whereas the biaxial glass is situated on the top side where it works in conjunction with the bottom glass to provide longitudinal and torsional flex.
* CFX Carbon Fiber Reinforcements: Carbon Fiber Beams begin in the middle of the insert pack and go diagonally across the middle of the board to increase torsional stiffness in between bindings but still leave nose and tail more flexible for jibbing.
* Wax Infused Sintered WTR Speed Base: The WTR Base is created by taking pellets of Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene and compressing it through heat and pressure. The miniscule spaces left behind absorb wax and allow for extended periods of high speed shredding as the wax wicks to the surface while you ride, which prevent the base from drying out. Properly maintained sintered bases are fast and durable.
* True Twin shape, 4x2 inserts, die cut base graphics, full wrap around steel edges, die cut sidewalls with 1.5mm Dampening System, metallic logo inlay

The team series snowboards are killer. They shred the mountains hard, whether it be running through the park, or powin' out on the steeps. The flex is well rounded for charging big slopes as well as playing on rails. The board graphic was inspired by Reggae music and Rastafari culture. The red. gold, and green colors are symbolic, but also make for easy finding at a crowded lodge!! "Big Ups to al Herbalist Worldwide!"
