Over at TW Business, Mike Lewis has updates on the Sierra Snowboard bankruptcy which has been rumored for months now, including:

unconfirmed [] reports that the company laid off all of its staff on Friday, August 27.

Two pending cases with Dakine and Burton, the Burton one of course being a pretty popular snafu in the snowsports world.

Sierra’s website is still active but is in bad need of some maintenance. Of course with the loss of the Burton line, the product line available at Sierra is awfully thin but last I checked although 2011 boards were presumably available, nobody had bothered to include stock pictures of the boards.

Happy Labor Day weekend to those of you in the U.S. Friday means it’s time for stupidity!

At every rail jam, someone has to try and gap the rail. Amiright? It’s like trying to ollie the slow sign: if you’re gonna try it, you better be able to do it. Otherwise you get uberpwnd by an inanimate object, which incidentally is why you’ll probably never see me trying to ollie the slow sign.

In other news I’ll be on vacation through Tuesday, limited or no blogging but you can reach me on teh twitter @agnarchy.
