Mandatory reading for all sideways sliding teatray riders


Recommended Posts

well, i'm not particularly clued up, but i always liked johan olofsson. his parts in the TB videos were the first ones i saw which combined smooth tricks with big mountain riding.

travis rice is obviously a sick rider too. and craig kelly ripped RIP.

and i'm suprised that they included jeremy jones the jibber, but not jeremy jones the big mountain madman.

dave downing isn't included but his switch riding was always good to watch

oyuki - what's the deal with scotty whitlake? from what i've seen he seemed to have absolutely zero regard for his body or safety. maniac

Scotty also has zero regard for making money off the sport and being famous. All his board royalties go to charity, and he own something like 2 t-shirts.

 

He also quit professional riding because it was sucking the fun away for him (kinda like riding in Japan sometimes does for me...)

 

I respect him for being punk rock in a sport that has forgotten its roots.

i also read that when he'd travel internationally, he'd just clip his boots into his bindings and check his board onto the plain as is. pretty funny when you compare him to most other snowboarders who travel with mountains of gear, gadgets and electronic toys
