Jessie Huffman sits down with Vermont’s Jessie Loomis to get the story on Powder Jets, Loomis’ “forward-thinking” back to basics wood snowboards. After taking a couple runs on an old Burton Elite a few years ago, Loomis apparently had a rather luddite epiphany.
That’s when I realized that space-age technology wasn’t increasing my enjoyment of the sport. I thought I’d just bring it right back to the fundamentals, get rid of all the technological geekiness, just take a step sideways and make it fun again. Play in the back yard with the kids; make it quiet, remove the fashion, remove the stress. It’s just snowboarding, right?
Indeed. Follow the link for the rest of the interview.
