Bjorn Leines is a super pro – from riding for HOT snowboards to the Forum 8, Rome Snowboards and most recently with Cardiff Snowcraft. He has done it all – from the streets to Alaska and all points in between.
In this first of two parts, we cover Cardiff, trends in the sport, the Forum 8 and the characters behind it, as well as the challenges of starting his own glove brand Celtek.
Bjorn is a true inspiration for those who seek a long term career in the sport.
The Snowboard Project offers an in-depth look into the world of snowboarding. Weekly news and interviews with those that have defined themselves as snowboarders give a unique perspective on the sport from the inside out.
in this episode we follow the path that took Josh from the small mountains of rural Pennsylvania all the way to Alaska. At one time in the sport Alaska was considered the domain of the professional athlete or the super rich. NO MORE. Today recreational riders are pushing the bounderies of access further than riders with corporate budgets ever have.
This is the journey that one rider took to become a local in one of the best areas to be a skier or rider – Valdez, Alaska.
