RAT WEEK with Tom Reilly

RAT WEEK with Tom Reilly




DWD - Where's home, Tom?

TR - Home is Australia's east coast. A place called Newcastle.


DWD - Besides the cost of travel... How rad is it that you can ride pow in the northern hemisphere, then roll back home... and get some winter in Australia. Or visa versa... after the Australian winter is done, knowing that you're all warmed up to head to Japan, North America or elsewhere?

TR - Yeah its pretty rad - Riding in Australia is so much fun, and its pretty similar to the conditions in CA, nice and sunny, with the odd powder day to keep it going. The fact that I get to snowboard all year round is sick!


DWD - You had that cover of Transfer Mag last winter, right? That was shot on a trip to Russia. How'd that trip go?

TR - Yeah, still tripping on that cover, its still surreal. Russia was a lot of fun and definitely eye opening. It was a hard place to get motivated, dealing with -20/30 degrees everyday and bitter citizens, it was a bit of a shock. But Im so glad I went there and it still has so much potential.


DWD - Out of all of your travels, where would the first place you would go back to if you had the chance?

TR - Bear Mountain, it never gets old. I'd like to go back to Helsinki one day aswell, that place is so much fun, most of the stuff we hit was already set up!


DWD - Since you guys are heading into summer... are you hitting the beach, or plans to head north for some more snow in the next couple of months?

TR - I'll be flying out to CA around mid to late January to ride at Bear Mtn again, with a few other sneaky trips here and there. Its my fifth time back to the states and I cant wait, it seems to get better every year. Up until then l'll be next to the beach.

RAT WEEK with Pete Long

RAT WEEK with Pete Long @petelong

Pete is a legend!!!!!



DWD - Yo Pete! Let em' know where you're.

PL - Sydney, Australia


DWD - How did you first get into snowboarding?

PL - Via Skateboarding I guess. I think ads in Thrasher Mag way back of Cardiel Snowboarding really planted the seed.


DWD - Ideal spot and ideal crew, for an ideal day?

PL - Early season park with everyone and anyone tapping back into the magic we call boardin.. Good vibes!


DWD - You guys are just coming out of your winter... how was it this season?

PL - The season was pretty shitty to be honest. But you get that every few years down here in the tropics ha! Our parks were still world class though.. All the medal hunters were out here getting after it.


DWD - What are your plans for the Australian off season?

PL - Im off to the states end of Dec to shred and dive into a couple new projects. Until then just enjoying summer vibes with the girl and skating till I can't walk each day.

Oz on top

in the middle ages you might've been ahead of your time by thinking that the earth is round... but the universe flat. and since it's colder at higher elevations, the earth MAY IN FACT spin on a horizontal axis because that would explain why winter is alway in the north... and when australia was in it's deepest part of winter they were actually at the most northern point.


... you're welcome for just making you dumber.
here's a vid from australia, up on top x2.
