The fact that Charles Beckinsale stays up all night building terrain parks and still rides like this makes the rest of us look like straight-up kooks!

Lets leave the fact that he is the man when it comes to building parks and focus on why he got into snowboarding in the first place. Charles freakin’ loves snowboarding!

FEATURE: Oakley Airbrake Goggle Review

admin — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:39:12 +0000

Do you consider yourself a lens changing ninja? You can pop and swap your goggle lens at the first sign of clouds or after a big off. No??? Introducing Oakley’s answer to the most annoying part of your day.

The Oakley Airbrake Goggle.

Interchangeable lens designs are nothing new for goggles but regular technology puts you at a disadvantage. Impact protection can be compromised. Uneven pressure can distort the lens shape, altering the optical properties and corrupting your vision. Not to mention that changing the lens can be a complete nightmare at times!. Oakley solved all these problems with Switchlock Technology.

Switchlock Technology offers quickest and most simple solution. Just rotate the lever of the locking mechanism. The mounted lens is released and the goggle is ready for whatever alternate lens you need. Click boom!

Check out Shuan White giving us a run through on why he’s rockin’ Oakley’s new technology

Comp time!! To get your greasy mitts on a FREE pair of Oakley Airbrakes including 2 lenses and hard case, head to our FB page www.facebook.com/AussieSnowboard and comment to the question “Why do you need to change your goggle lens?”

Competiton Drawn on Friday the 28th of June, will be contacted through Facebook forpostal address for shipping.
