Professional snowboarder Danny Davis has two loves: snowboarding and music, so when he had the opportunity to create a snowboard with Martin Guitar and Burton, he just couldn’t refuse. Davis, who is also the ambassador for Martin Guitar, traveled to Martin & Co. in Nazareth, Pennsylvania to design a guitar. He worked with the masters of Martin, and selected the guitar’s wood, fretboard and bridge. He decided to add custom Mother-Of-Pearl inlays on the fretboard to represent things that are important to him: fishing, camping, his dogs, peace and his long-time sponsor, Burton Snowboards. When that was finished, the folks at Burton photographed Davis’s Martin Guitar and emblazoned its image on to a Burton snowboard. The result is the Burton Easy Livin X Martin Guitar snowboard.

“The Burton Easy Livin x Martin Guitar snowboard has become my favorite board that I’ve ever ridden,” says Davis. “Not only does the board bring back memories from winning X Games and going to the Olympics last season, it also sparked one of the coolest collaborations between myself and two of my favorite brands – Burton Snowboards and Martin Guitar. Plus, you’re riding a guitar, which is pretty cool.”

According to the press release, “the Easy Livin snowboard features three different shapes, each tuned for perfect mountain harmony – on groomers, in powder or in the park. Riders can choose from a more blunted freestyle shape in the 152, a pointier freestyle design with the 158, or the stock and sturdy all-around feel of the 155. The Easy Livin offers a highly maneuverable, stable, and snappy experience for laying down fresh tracks.”

After you decide the one that’s right for you, it’s all about fine-tuning down those slopes.

These are the best movies to watch on Peacock in May

Peacock is a TV service, but it also has a great catalog of movies to stream, too

A fun bit of historic TV trivia is that the original NBC peacock logo was first implemented in 1956 to highlight the network's new color programming. Even though the logo has gone through numerous iterations since then, the network has stuck with the colorful bird, in one form or another, for going on six decades now. It’s fitting, then, that Peacock is known most for its TV programming, highlighted by shows like The Office, Parks and Rec, and the self-mocking (and hilarious) 30 Rock. If you are on Peacock for the shows, however, don't overlook that the platform is also home to a number of great movies spanning cinema history, including everything from great comedy to excellent sports movies.

Peacock streaming offers both free (registered) and paid accounts. As a result, some Peacock movies are available without a paid subscription, and others only for subscribers. This roundup culls titles from both groups. To be sure you can access all of these classics, you'll have to fork over a subscription fee. Happy streaming and keep reading to find the best movies on Peacock right now.
