The guys at Signal Snowboards, home of Every Third Thursday have come up with many great ideas but for January’s snowboard build it was a bit of nonsense – or rather the Total Noncents Penny Snowboard, which integrated pennies in the base and “penny traction” edges. Given that Lincoln’s birthday is next month maybe they should have waited, but that’s just our “two cents”

The sun shines brightly on this month’s episode of Every Third Thursday. Dave Lee and Signal Snowboards team up with Powerfilm Solar to create a solar-powered snowboard!

Life is more than just snowboarding, even for the guys at Signal Snowboards. There are video games to play and ‘tis the season of the biggest releases, with Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 arriving in full force. So for this month’s Every Third Thursday the gang set to create a Black Ops 2 Bulletproof Snowboard.

The guys at Signal Snowboards have made a lot of special boards, but in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month they dedicated last Thursday to making the Bra Board. The crew teamed up with Keep-A-Breast (KAB) that created a custom board that included a breast cast of Signal’s graphics leader Meg Smith.

The guys at Signal Snowboards use “Every Third Thursday” to come up with something innovative in their snowboard creations. But last month they did that was both innovative and inspirational. They created a very special board for their friend and former pro snowboarder Tim Ostler, who was paralyzed from the chest down following a halfpipe accident. Using Crankbrothers Mountain bike component technology they created an adaptive snowboard so Ostler could shred up on the trails.
Check out the video above to see how it all came together

OK, we missed this one when the guys at Every Third Thursday – who always create something truly unique – first offered up an Xylophone Snowboard (Video above), but we felt it interesting enough to post about it now. We’re not sure how it will ride on the snow, but it can certainly carry a tune!
Those crazy guys at Every Third Thursday often create snowboards and surfboards that are solutions without a problem – and we do mean that in the nicest way. So it was no surprise to hear that they created the latest creation is such a board.
Introducing the Signal Snowboard Survivor Split, a one-of-a-kind board, that could be a dream for the snowboarding mountain man. It can cut wood, start a fire or even be used as a shovel. As the name suggests this board can split into skis to allow backcountry boarders to ski up the mountain and then down again – that in itself is pretty ingenious. Video after the jump
Don’t tell the guys at Signal Snowboards/Every Third Thursday it can’t be done. They’re created snowboards with iPads and boomboxes built in, and now they’re done what a lot of people would likely say can’t be done – a snowboard that can double as a surfboard!
Now on the surface a board is a board, right? Well, yes and no. Both do ride on water – just one is wet and the other is frozen. And while surfing has existed as long as man has tried to float, snowboarding is actually a fairly new concept. But the latter does often look to the former.
So how’d it work? Better than expected as the video below shows! Video after the jump
There are things that are done simply because someone can do it. That is sort of what resulted in the iShred, a snowboard that has an iPad embedded in it. Created by the crew at Signal during one of their Every Third Thursday events, this is the latest of some wacky combinations – previously they put a boom box in a board, as well as an electric guitar.
This time around the group put an iPad in the board, and to accomplish this meant going with aluminum – the reported drawback being that the board is a little tough to control on sharp turns. But with an iPad on deck, it seems that you can’t have everything! Video after the jump
There are headphones you can use while riding the slopes, and there are even snowboarding helmets with built in speakers. But how about taking a snowboard and combining it with a 1980’s era boombox? That’s what the gang from Every Third Thursday did. Introducing the Boombox from Signal Snowboard:
While most of the electronics are much smaller than those from the 1980s, the result is a board that can be still be ridden. Now that’s a new way to bring music to your ride.
