In the year 2000 at the ACG Indoor QP contest with my boy Macho Man. I think Evan Rose took this photo.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n So by now you may have noticed Yobeat’s back… Or maybe you’re just tuning in now. Either way, your feed does not lie, after a bit of time off to rest my brain, reset my life and “drain the swamp” as a horrible person once said, I am ready to take on the snowboard media game full steam. For the record, I never personally stopped going snowboarding – but I did stop thinking about it. I did stop looking at the Internet. I did quit scrolling, and liking and everything else. And recently, I even stopped swiping. Instead I took up gardening, mastered the sharing economy of Uber, Lyft and Air BnB<\/a>, and otherwise upgraded my personal situation to enable a fresh start and a new perspective on our beloved snowboard culture.<\/p>\n As if the universe meant for this to happen at this moment, Andrew Sayer at Boardrap.com<\/a> hit me up just as my vision was becoming clear to ask me a few questions (ok a lot of questions) about where I’ve been and how I got here. And I’d be lying if walking myself back through my long and winding journey wasn’t a little inpirational to me, so I hope you feel the same way about it!<\/p>\n As for the interview, sorry for the bait and switch but you’ll have to click over to Boardrap to read it.<\/p>\n Part 1 – 1997-2008<\/a> If you make it through any or all of that, I think you’ll like what’s to come, and if you don’t well, feel free to keep Snowboardermag, TWS or Facebook set as your homepage. I, along with a team of old and new snow-loving fools, will be here, doing our best to entertain and keep snowboarding fun and interesting.
