Most influential rider of the past 20 years JP Walker. The man took jibbing to a whole new level and was one of the first putting down a legit doublecork in Shakedown.
What was the highlight of your career? Spending a month in Salt Lake City back in 2006 with some of my best homies riding the spots we always saw in the movies.
Which product innovation had the largest impact on our sport? Avalanche Transceivers and capstraps.
If you could change one thing about snowboarding today what would it be? The outlook that a part of the general public has towards snowboarding in the streets. Seeing it as a form of creation instead of destruction.
What has snowboarding taught you? It has taught me to stand on my own two feet and trust my gut feeling when it comes to making decisions whether or not to hit a feature.
What are your main goals in your snowboarding career? Keeping it going for at least another decade and being able to make a living from it. Besides that I love seeing the little kids come up and try to be the best example to them.
