Salomon released a pretty nice website for the release of the new STI Vinny Minton Skates. You can see some clips there and download some wallpapers.

Check the website on Salomoninline.com (link down).

Xsjado Clothes featured on Snowboarders and Freestyle Skiers.

Salomon hosted a sale on Venteprivee.com, a french retailer company. They featured private sales, displaying Xsjado Hoodies and used the Willow T-Shirt to dress his models ;)

Thanks briandu92.

Note: Colin Kelso obviously just took his foot out of the skate, so the liners are slightly pulled out of shape. They would normally be lower, to the point that half the shield would be obscured.

The Conference is glad to present another awesome product to add to its collection: The new Colin Kelso Pro. This skate has been put together with Colin’s input and improvements and is ready for imminent release. It is a totally new Skate system and comes with an improved internal structure along with plenty of other new features.
