The Dragon Tales: Chapter VII Starring Jacob Willcox and Shaun Green

See Jacob drive north with his Dad in search of solitude at one of Australia's best lefts, and a cameo performance from Shaun Green, the humble barrel hunter of Margaret River.

Frame of Mind: Gigi Ruf "Backcountry Inspirations"



We've just released the second episode of a revealing four-part webisode series, Frame of Mind, featuring Gigi Rüf, Luke Mitrani, Danny Davis and Chris Benchetler. Frame of Mind candidly captures the seldom seen moments that inspire the athletes antics and interests both on and off the mountain. To see the latest episode, click here.

In the second episode, take an exclusive journey with Gigi Rüf through the Alaskan backcountry as he talks about what motivates him to ride and the inspiration behind his two signature series goggles—the APXs and Rogue.

“For me, snowboarding shows a great deal of self expression,” says Gigi. “Picking your line is like connecting the dots on an empty canvas, and if the snow is good, I wish to be there. For my signature Rogue goggles, we made this fun Dragon Alliance logo with these creatures and spaceships. My kids inspire me, and they helped inspire this goggle design as well.” 

Dragon On Top at Opening AMA Supercross Event















Congratulations to Dragon's Rockstar Energy team rider, Davi Millsaps, for taking out the first race of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross in Murrieta, California. Before a sold-out crowd of over 45,000, Millsaps opened the the 250SK Class Main Event with a dominant win, besting the field with a 6.44 second margin of victory. 

“It was a great night for me,” said Millsaps. “This is my first win since 2010, and I was just trying to keep calm out there. It has been a long time since I have led a race, so it was hard to calm my nerves.”
