These college aged adults are not new to action sports nor to technology.

They are figuring out a way to incorporate action sports into their lives as adults.

They rely heavily on their friend network and technology to stay in touch.

In 2009, nearly 96% of college students (17.4 trillion) will go online at least once per month. They are the most digitally connected demographic group in the US. Social networking is an everyday activity for the majority (59%) of college students, and the percentage of students who use the networks daily has doubled in the past two years.

These networks provide an outlet for self expression and act as an extension of their personalities and social groups.

This group is the key driver of change. They brought social networking groups to the mainstream and now they are pushing on-demand video.

This group begins to balance internet usage for information as well as entertainment.
