\nJamie Anderson Officially Riding GNU in 2011<\/p>\n

Seattle, WA (January 26, 2011) \u2013 After two years of riding, loving and winning on the Gnu B-Pro, Jamie Anderson is making it official. The South Lake Tahoe, CA-local is signing with GNU as the brand\u2019s first \u201cGuest Pro.\u201d As a celebrity guest Jamie will enjoy all of the perks of Gnu pro status including fabulous photo shoots and parties in her honor. She\u2019ll also have the ability to work closely with Gnu\u2019s leading design teams in Carlsborg, WA to develop new snowboards that fit her style and make riding even more fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Gnu boards! They’re the best!\u201d exclaims Anderson. Fellow Gnu rider Danny Kass says of Anderson, \u201cJamie\u2019s a one-of-a-kind rider. She\u2019s fearless on all terrain and pushing the boundaries of park riding for women around the world.”<\/p>\n

With a smile on her face and banana between her feet, Jamie\u2019s one of the most celebrated female slopestyle riders ever. This winter she started off with wins at both Dew Tour stops, the O\u2019Neill Evolution and the European Open on the B-Pro. These wins make her the current leader in the TTR series, as well as setting her up for a repeat Dew Tour championship.<\/p>\n

In Jamie\u2019s five years competing in pro events, she\u2019s won multiple Roxy Chicken Jams, Grand Prix events, Burton Open Series, World Cups, Grand Prix and even a TTR overall title, just to name a few. The now 20-year-old was named 2009 Female #1 Rider of the Year by Snowboarder and won TransWorld SNOWboarding\u2019s Women\u2019s Rider of the Year. She also holds multiple X Games golds and a silver. Her first X Games win at 15, made her the youngest Winter X Games medalist ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored that Jamie chose to ride the Gnu B-pro for the last two years, while she was on the open market. Now we\u2019re thrilled that she\u2019s signed on as our first celebrity guest!\u201d says Barrett Christy, Gnu Girl\u2019s Team Captain. \u201cWe look forward to working with her to perfect our Gnu girls line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gnu\u2019s unique celebrity guest program provides support to the elite ‘celebrities,’ who the brand shares a mutual respect with. For some it may be a launching point for bigger Gnu projects, for others it may be a meaningful stop along the way to their next sponsor.<\/p>\n

Jamie\u2019s current ride of choice, the Gnu B-Pro is fine tuned by Barrett Christy with C2 Banana Technology and Magne-Traction. C2 is the perfect combination of camber at each end and Banana Tech between your feet. The camber gives the board end-to-end stability and pop for big landings, while the banana between feet makes for great carving on hardpack and easy float in power. A portion of Gnu B-Pro sales go to Boarding for Breast Cancer. All Gnu boards are handmade at Mervin in the USA with a bio-polymer top material made from beans and fast growing, farmed, eco wood cores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
