Going somewhere? Go green this winter.




• The crisp cold of fall is here, and you know what that means: it's time to start shopping for a fresh kit. This season, with the harsh realties of global warming more present than ever, it's important to consider more than matching colorways. ESPN Snowboarding has assembled a Green Guide, breaking down what goes into the "eco," "enviro" and "green" products that are hitting shelves for the 2009-10 season.

• We've dropped two "FMX Archives" videos so far, but this week we'll be dropping the coolest one yet. We were able to get our hands on Jeremy Lusk's Sponsor Me FMX footage from way before he was ever considered a pro. Jeremy is no longer with us, but his memory will live forever.

• Several years ago, Jimmy Levan packed his bags and left his hometown of Lousiville, KY for brighter pastures in Seattle, WA. But Levan never lost sight of the Louisville scene, returning a few times per year to ride with both the old and new crews of BMXers in the area. Recently, Levan returned with a camera and put in work behind the lens, capturing the new school of Louisville riders at a variety of spots throughout the city.

• Dreams of going pro might be all consuming but what happens to the guy that gets everything he ever wished for? What happens next. The life of a pro skater might be amazing but for most it's not a career that will see you through to Social Security. When Scott Johnston felt the need to bow out of the pro spotlight, he made the smooth transition into shoe design for Lakai where his signature style could keep shining on.
