The Sandbox crew is back at it, building hype for their new release Shine On. This little gem comes from last year’s video All Day, Everyday, and features Brendan Keenan and Mikey Pederson’s shared ender.

Mikey and Brendan are both on the roster for this year’s video, so don’t miss it when it drops later this summer.

Check out the clip here.

“Nash Lejuenesse has been coming up hard over the last couple years. He’s from Calgary, Alberta and Nash is a pretty sweet all round shredder. This is his part from last years Sandbox film, All Day Everyday.” -Joe Carlino

Is it just me, or has snowboarding seen quite the influx of gnarly riders who come from the land(s) down under?

Guys like Robbie Walker, Jake Koia and Ryan Tiene have been putting their stamp on the North American snowboard scene for the last couple of seasons.

The Scanners have had their turn, will they pass the torch on to the Aussies? These are all questions too large for me to answer, but you can start making assumptions for yourself by checking out Tiene’s closing part from Sandbox Film’s All Day, Everyday on Transworld Snowboarding.

Shortly after adding E-Man Anderson to the Sessions Canada team, the brand has put its support behind another up-and-coming rider. Winnipeg, Manitoba’s Kevin Griffin has been added to a team that already includes great snowboarders from across the country.

Griffin has added a  number of accomplishments to his resume lately that would have made this decision an easy one for any brand; landing the cover of Snowboarder magazine, taking the top spot at Quiksilver’s Showdown Over the City and filming a solid part for Sandbox’s new release All Day, Every Day are among these accomplishments.

Check it out on Snowboard Canada.

At the 2008 Empire Shakedown, Kael Hill showed the entire world of snowboarding that he’s not just one of the next, but that he’s already well on his way. Hill stomped a hardway back 3 to 5-0 on the downbar to secure himself the $5,000 grand prize for 1st place at the 2008 Shakedown rail jam. Kael has also been filming this year with the Sandbox crew for their new release, All Day Every Day.

Snowboard Canada’s Scott Birke sat down with Kael to see what his thoughts were about the state of the professional snowboard world. Check out the full interview here.
