One of snowboarding’s true originals gets a little much deserved coverage as Shawn Farmer shows up on VBS.com’s Powder & Rails.
Powder and Rails takes you to the Legends of Tahoe event at Donner Ski Ranch for a couple classic Shawn Farmer moments. Some may say he’s crazy, but we’re here to prove he may actually be a genius. At Shawn’s apartment, we check out one of his inventions and engage the man in some snowboarding discourse. From his first video scenes to his preference for gigantic boards and rapping, no stone is left unturned. We even get a Farmer philosophy lesson just moments before he closes the convo by shot gunning a beer.

Incredible piece!! An important history lesson for all you newbies. Farmer was someone we all wished we could be like. Wish we could ride big mountains like him, wish we could party like him, wish we could kick ass like him and wish we could rap like him (well maybe). Farm is a true legend and I feel lucky to have witnessed him in his prime.
i remember being in the beaver run lodge at breckenridge with farm , ranquet, roach and tucker fransen and zz. farm was snorting sweet n low while drinking black coffee he called it nostrel conditioning . it was at that moment i realized two things, he was serious business and i never wanted him to sleep over.
