We recently received the following email:
Hi Will, This season I’ve been getting pushed around by some d#$chebag heli opps for riding “their stash”. So I was hoping you have some white base plates for the Bent Metal Biscuits. I’ve got a white one piece and splitboard and next year I can center punch all their sh%t.
Thanks, J.L.
We couldn’t help but oblige. We did up a pair of Ignition II baseplates with a clear anodizing job, white spacers, and the new Biscuit geometric graphics. They turned out pretty ’stealth’.. and look mighty good with those white Biscuits! check em out..

J.L. wrote us back:

Spark R&D is proud to be announce that we’re sponsoring ‘Deeper’, a backcountry big mountain snowboarding film in the works from TGR and Jeremy Jones. From the source:
The film is a two-year project and is slated for release in the fall of 2010. “We are focusing on the hard to reach zones that are not accessible by helicopters, ski lifts and snow machines. We will be trekking deep into the mountains and spending days living in snow caves and tents at the base of some of the true gems that have eluded me for so long. We need two years to do this film right and get the lines we want on film” says Jones.

You can see updates on the project on Jeremy’s blog: http://jeremyjones.net/
Along side supporting Jeremy and Deeper, Spark R&D is looking forward to partnering with Protect Our Winters! Protect Our Winters (POW) is a tax exempt, non-profit organization dedicated to reversing the global warming crisis by uniting the winter sports community and focusing our collective efforts towards a common goal.
Spark R&D will soon be offering the Ignition II splitboard bindings brandished with POW logo and graphics, along with a percentage of the sales being donated to POW to aid in their cause. See these binders below and check back soon to get you some! To learn more about POW, click the logo above.
