This is the Joyride crew. From the vets who lit it up 35 years ago to the fresh faces pushing the next wave, the Joyride Snowboards team is the heart of what we do. These are the riders who’ve stacked clips, slammed hard, and inspired generations to strap in and keep it raw. Here you’ll find the heavy shots, the b-sides, and the clips that remind you why we ride, style, grit, and the joy of snowboarding. It’s not just a roster, it’s a legacy. The ones who built it, the ones carrying it, and the ones about to blow it up. Scroll down and meet the riders, past, present, and future; through short bios that let you know who they are, where they’re from, the mountains they call home, and the styles they ride.

What Would You Like To See Come Back?: In snowboarding I would love to see a come back of “ATV” riders. Someone who can ride it all!

What's Your Favorite Board: I ride the Slingshot, it’s soft while still feeling solid under my feet and feels right at home in the park, I can really lock presses in, go rip side hits, or catch some deep turns all in the same day. Such a sick graphic too.
What's Your Favorite Trick:
Frontboard Prets or a Big Back 7 Indy

What Would You Like To See Come Back?: Style & Fun events. I have friends that have grown up in the scene and shared some sick throwback clips of events they used to do back in the day (Grenade Games for example). I loved seeing the collaboration between brands and resorts doing fun stuff like that, allowing riders to shine in a fun way that expressed their riding and brought a lot of joy into why we do it. Style to me is not necessarily being the best at something but expressing who you are authentically.
