Today I did a little Q&A with our awesome Fashion Graphic Designer, Jenn. She’s responsible for a lot of the designs you see on any posters, flyers, event announcements, and even snowboards that come out of our art department!

Job Title: Roxy Graphic Designer

Fav Moment at Roxy: When I was up at Mammoth for the Roxy Chicken Jam and actually got to see people using some of the snowboards and bindings I designed!

Style Inspiration: I try to gather my style inspiration from people on the street. I grew up in LA and I live off Melrose Ave so I get to people watch a lot. I love to see all people’s personalities reflected in their style.

Style Icons: Blondie. She exuded style, confidence and individuality

Advice to Readers:  Anything is possible! Go to school!! (Even if it is Art school!) Work really hard toward your dreams, never give up, and let life take you where you are supposed to be. The right things in life are never forced.  If someone told me 15 yrs ago one day I would be designing for Roxy, I would never have believed them. Life is so crazy.

Thanks Jenn! Check back next month for another ROXY Superstar!

While they were on the slopes at the 2010 Roxy Chicken Jam, Torah Bright interviewed Sam from N.A.S.A. Watch this sweet video of them snowboarding and then the concert later on that night.

The Roxy Style Squad and Amber Stackhouse traveled to the 2010 Roxy Chicken Jam and reported on snowboarding fashion at Mammoth Mountain, CA. Lots of bright colors, street fashion, and plaid are all favorites for 2010 on the slopes.

Saturday night N.A.S.A.  set the stage on fire with a performance which included dancing shark costumes (yes!), a guest performance by Barbie Hatch, a sick hip-hop set, and multiple stage-dives. We were even treated with a Kanye “appearance via satellite”…ok fine, maybe that wasn’t a real satellite feed, but nonetheless the N.A.S.A. performance of “Gifted” featuring a pre-taped Kanye was a definite crowd favorite, and our personal highlight of the evening.

Before getting the crowd hyped up with their amazing performance, Sam a.k.a. Squeak E. Clean and DJ  Zegon, chatted with Fuel TV. Sam shared that he met DJ Zegon while training as stuntmen for a film as certified sky-divers on a trip in Bali. It was in Bali they decided to start doing music on the side which turned into a full-time gig.

Wait, Sam are you for real? We have a a feeling he was pulling our leg. But I guess with this much talent, does it matter?

If you were in Mammoth this past weekend, chances are you may have had a Torah Bright sighting! Torah’s fans got a special treat this weekend when she had a signing for fans at the ROXY & Quiksilver store in The Village in Mammoth.

About 300 fans waited patiently in line – some even 2 hours before the signing started- to get her autograph. Thank you to all the patient fans. You get gold for dedication!

Happy fans showing off their signed posters!

The Bravery being interviewed at Roxy Chicken Jam

This year’s Roxy Chicken Jam free concert featured The Bravery and N.A.S.A. We had a chance to sit down and talk with our friends The Bravery, before they went snowboarding with Torah Bright.

We found out these guys were active, love Journey and Prince, enjoy nature and want to award Torah a gold medal in dancing. This indie-rock band proved that they didn’t need their city digs to have a good time.

ROXY: First things first, what do you think of Mammoth so far?

TB: Cold!

ROXY: Besides being cold, seeing you guys are from the city, how do you like playing this venue?

TB: Our favorite shows are those we can do right next to activities that we like to do. If we’re playing on a mountain, we can go snowboarding. If we are playing on the beach, we  can right after.

ROXY: What’s been the most unreal, most memorable venue you’ve played?

TB: Times Square, hands down. You can’t top playing, while looking down on 1 million people.

ROXY: How was your last album “Stir The Blood” different from making your previous two albums?

TB: For our last record “Stir The Blood”, we kind of went back to a lot of the aesthetics of the first record. It was a little more do it yourself. We recorded a lot on the road again, used laptops, and we kind of made things more electronic, a little bit darker than things we were putting out right before that.  Now it’s shooting up the charts!

Lastly, we asked The Bravery the most important question of all.  Mariah Carey or Beyoncé?

The answer was a resounding “Beyoncé!” from the group, except Tony. He prefers Mariah. “I just love her voice!”

Watch this video from the final day at the Roxy Chicken Jam! You’ll see footage from the Superpipe and Slopestyle finals as well as the infamous Mascot Superpipe comp.

The Slopestyle finals this morning were amazing.

Jamie Anderson came in first and took home $15,000. Janna Weatherby came in second for $7,000 and Jenny Jones in third for $3,000.

Jamie Anderson’s winning run was a back 5, switch back 5 and a cab 5. Boardside 720 off rail. It was really clean, really big, and with great style.

“The surprising thing was how difficult it was to judge because everyone did so well,” Phoebe Mills, head judge.

One of the best tricks of the day was by 4th place Cheryl Mass, a corked backside 7 off the first hit, truly massive and really styled.

In the Superpipe competition, Kelly Clark came in first and took home $15,000. She threw down a major frontside 9 and frontside 7 to cab 7. She had the highest amplitude and the most difficult run of the group. Rana Okada came in second for $7,000 and Elena Hight in third for $3,000.

Rana had huge 5’s and very good amplitude. Her backside hit was massive. She did very well in this competition, making it all the way from the qualifiers to the finals! Her first hit was over 10 feet.

In a surprise move, 2010 Olympic gold medalist in snowboard halfpipe Torah Bright did a demonstration run at the end of the event to show her support for the many amazing riders at the Roxy Chicken Jam.

The Roxy Chicken Jam finished up with the crowning of the 2009/2010 Swatch TTR Women’s World Champion.

Roxy newcomer Enni Rukajärvi scored 858.11 to become the 2009/2010 TTR World Snowboard Champion and taking home $50,000.

Second place went to Sina Candrian and third to Sarka Pancochova.
