Cluck Off

2009-03-26T22:21:00.002-06:00

Hey girls, if you're looking to find a few good men while checking out the talent this weekend at Mammoth Mountain's Roxy Chicken Jam, look no further than the Quiksilver Cluck Off event hosting eight locals in the invitational Superpipe competition.

Judges will be none other than snowboarding Olympians, Quiksilver's Todd Richards, Roxy's own Torah Bright and Mammoth Mountain's Oran Tanzer. First place prize is a whopping $1,000, winner takes all.

"The Quiksilver Cluck Off is amazing because as soon as you say cluck instead of the four-letter word it rhymes with, you realize it's totally cool to have it on a t-shirt in huge letters", says head judge, Todd Richards.

Volcom Ladies News

2009-03-05T11:01:00.001-07:00

Our ladies have been getting after it! Check out what our Volcom girls are up to and what is coming down the line...
Volcom snow team rider Elena Hight found herself on the podium at the first stop of the winter Dew Tour in Breckenridge, Colorado. This week was the 3rd and final stop of the Dew Tour at Northstar in Tahoe. Elena finished with a 3rd overall in the 3-stop series!
After a solid couple of months charging Pipeline on the North shore Claire Bevilacqua headed back to her home in Western Australia with somewhat of a new found confidence. She was eager to head into summer back in the land down under! "It has just been unreal, one of the best summers (in Australia) of weather and waves almost ever. I just couldn't leave home! I have been making the most of my time by surfing daily and training at a level I feel I've never reached before. I wont be home for much of the rest of the year so I'm enjoying catching up on family time and business." Claire is now spending a week in Tavarua with fellow Volcom skater Lynz Adams-Hawkins and putting her Volcom Miss Mod Swimwear to the test!
Janna Meyen just found herself on the podium at the final stop of the Dew Tour this past weekend. She placed 3rd in the Slopestyle event, which was her first contest of the season after returning from healing up a knee injury. Janna is back at it… she is now on a plane to Japan for the upcoming Nippon Open. Good Luck Janna!
After finding out in December that Coco Ho qualified for the 2009 World Championship Tour she has been busy back home on the North Shore of Hawaii training and preparing for the year ahead. Coco has her boardies packed, her swimsuits ready and is heading to the Gold Coast of Australia for the first WCT event of the year. Go Coco!!
Fellow snow team rider Cheryl Maas spent the first part of the winter season competing non-stop. Unfortunately in late January at the Winter X Games she took a pretty bad spill. This has resulted in her now nursing a few broken limbs back home in France. Nothing can keep this girl from Snowboarding…. She'll be back at it again in the next few weeks at the Mammoth Chicken Jam.
Lyn-z Adam Hawkins put the skateboard away for a few weeks and heading for the mountains. She has spent her time between Mammoth, Aspen and Utah taking some time off before the summer skate craziness begins. From the word on the street, Lyn-z is quickly becoming a contender not only on the concrete but also on the hill! She'll also be competing at the Mammoth Chicken Jam in March.
What do you L.O.V.E? Our girl's team told us what they L.O.V.E… Making a limited edition tee for a Nylon Magazine give-away our team shared what makes LOVE so special just in time for V-day!

ITEM OF THE WEEK - NIKITA STRIPED BEACH CHERRY HOT PANT

2009-01-19T18:00:00.000-07:00

I know it's kind of random that I'm posting a pair of booty shorts as the item of the week in the middle of January, but these rock. I just returned from a little trippy trip to Cozumel, Mexico, and I wore the Nikita Striped Beach Cherry Hot Pant as a bathing suit cover up. They are so cute and comfortable and provide just the right amount of coverage for your cheeks, but still allow an awesome tan line. They come in olive, black, and red, all striped with white. The cute lightning bolt logo is embroidered on the front, and Nikita on the back. If you need a little break from the snow, BUY THESE SHORTS!!

ITEM OF THE WEEK - NIKITA ALGOL REVERSIBLE FLEECE

2008-12-29T17:22:00.000-07:00

The item of the week is the Nikita Algol Reversible Fleece. You're getting two jackets in one with this one ladies. One side is a slick sea green color, and the other is a comfy cozy brown fleece. It has a slightly cropped fit and adorable Nikita lightning bolt detailing. The boys think this one is hot!!

First Shred

2008-12-16T19:57:00.001-07:00

I woke up Saturday morning to a crap load of powder. So Sherri and I headed up to Brighton to test out our new gear from MRS. We could not have asked for a better first day of the season. The snow was DUMPING on us all day long. And our gear.....perfect. Sherri was sporting the Nikita Airbag Jacket and Nikita Parkrun Pants. I had on the Nikita Northstar Jacket and the Nikita The Face Pants. I layered up with the Kawa Hoodie and topped it off with the Nikita Nusakan Beanie. We not only looked especially hot, but we stayed quite warm as well. Bring on the SNOW!!!!

ITEM OF THE WEEK - NIKITA THE FACE PANT

2008-12-14T21:36:00.000-07:00

Alright, I just bought these pants and they are TIIIIIGHT!!! The Urban Dictionary defines tight as cool, hip, and fashionable, and that's exactly what the Nikita The Face Pant is. They have 5000 mm DuPont coated nylon with super soft tricot lining on the butt and knees. They also have inner leg ventilation and you can zip them to your favorite Nikita Jacket to provide the ultimate protection from the conditions. Hit us up and buy these pants!!

ITEM OF THE WEEK - NIKITA BLUEBIRD JACKET

2008-12-08T16:50:00.000-07:00

Ok, so there's a significant amount of snow on my lawn today and I'm sure there's plenty more where that came from at the resorts. The best thing you can do for yourself this winter is to buy this, the Nikita Bluebird Jacket. This one is the cream of the crop. It's the warmest jacket we have and also provides 15000 mm waterproof rating. Check out all the extra features on our website, and grab some pants to go with it!!

ITEM OF THE WEEK - NIKITA AIRBAG JACKET

2008-12-01T21:40:00.001-07:00

Here it is... the item of the week. This is the Nikita Airbag Jacket. This jacket provides the perfect amount of insulation for any day on the mountain. It is designed for functionality and looks. With critically taped seams and a waterproof rating of 5000 mm, you will stay warm and dry. Some of the other nifty detail include; two way armpit ventilation, lycra inner handcuff, removable and adjustable powder skirt that you can zip to your Nikita Parkrun Pants, adjustable wrist cuffs, iPod pocket with a headphone cable loop, and a goggle pocket. You really can't go wrong with this jacket folks. Oh, and did I mention that it's 30% off?!?! Beat that.

Sweet Outerwear on SALE!

2008-11-26T10:38:00.000-07:00

Hey Ladies!! The time has come to shred. Here in Salt Lake City, we have been blessed by the powder gods with a few early season storms, and this is only the beginning. The resorts are open and there is no better way to prepare for a killer season than to stock up on outerwear that will have you looking super hot on and off the mountain. My personal fave is the Nikita Northstar Jacket. No one will miss you cruising through the park in this. Another awesome get-up is the Nikita Bluebird Jacket. This will top off the perfect bluebird pow day with it's origami bird design. All of our jackets have critically taped seams, armpit zip ventilation (cause even girls sweat), removable and adjustable powder skirt, a safety clip for your keys inside a pocket, and super soft Tricot lining on the chin and collar. Did I mention it's on SALE?!?

30% off for a limited time. Get into it!!!
